Originally written on Fox Sports Southwest | Last updated 3/24/13
IRVING, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys will play host to veteran free agents Will Allen and Justin Durant at Valley Ranch on Monday, with both players bringing with them resumes that could make them candidates to start for the Dallas defense. Allen, 30, was a part-time starter in Pittsburgh last year. He previously played with the Bucs, where he played safety in the same Tampa-2 defense being installed in Dallas. Allen has played in 130 NFL games with 33 starts. Durant, 27, has been a full-time starter with the Lions and last year totaled 103 tackles. He played strong-side linebacker, a possible position of need for the Cowboys. The Cowboys presently have virtually no cap room but that can change quickly as the team is working toward creating space with new deals for Tony Romo and Anthony Spencer.

Now that the Portland Trail Blazers will likely match Nicolas Batum's offer sheet, the Minnesota Timberwolves should have enough money to sign Greg Stiemsma. And the Wolves reportedly believe they will. (ESPN 1050)
The Wolves expect to get restricted free agent center Greg Stiemsma. Boston is over the cap, so the Wolves feel like they will be able to structure the contract in a fashion such that Celtics general manager Danny Ainge won't be able to match.
If Stiemsma signs an offer sheet with Minnesota that exceeds $1.957 million in the first year (the bi-annual exception), the Celtics will be powerless to match and they will lose the next Bill Russell. I'll hate to see Stiemsma go (partially because I'll miss the "Stiemboat" whistle at the TD Garden), but he's as good as gone and has been for weeks.
Also from the link above, the Timberwolves are expected to show interest in Courtney Lee. David Kahn is doing his best to be a thorn in Danny Ainge's side, but at least he amnestied Darko Milicic so the Celtics can make a run at him?
Oy vey.

Policymakers need to resolve the debt limit debate in a way that doesn't hurt economic growth, writes Christian E. Weller.
Failing to raise the debt ceiling would threaten a fragile recovery, writes Christian E. Weller in this month's economic outlook.
The current budget negotiations need to find a growth-enhancing balance between spending and revenue changes that do not unduly burden middle-class families, writes Christian Weller.
Policymakers have to secure the gains of the recovery while strengthening the recovery for the American middle class, writes Christian E. Weller in this month's economic snapshot.
Policymakers must act to secure tentative economic gains, writes Christian Weller.
Policymakers need to build on the success of past initiatives such as the Recovery Act to strengthen the labor market recovery, writes Christian E. Weller.
Good jobs that pay solid wages should remain a top priority for policymakers as our labor market continues to lumber, writes Christian E. Weller.
Building a bridge to a stronger, self-sustaining recovery remains a top policy priority, writes Christian E. Weller.
Building a self-sustaining recovery should remain a top policy priority given slow job creation and widespread financial distress, writes Christian E. Weller.
The economy is recovering, but public policy still needs to be aimed at job creation, writes Christian E. Weller.
Policy needs to intervene to create more jobs quickly so that businesses see more customers and American families can ultimately shake the economic burdens left over from the economic crisis, writes Christian E. Weller.
The private sector is on the road to recovery, but high household debt, large trade deficits, and weak state and local finances endanger this growth, writes Christian E. Weller.
Companies are sitting on cash, but they need to spend it on investments and people, writes Christian E. Weller.
We need to find a better balance between profits and jobs to ensure a strong recovery, writes Christian E. Weller.

Instead of implementing strict zoning rules that would determine what kinds of businesses could be built, Anaheim gave business owners flexibility. Existing businesses don't have to move and if people don't want to sell their property, developers just have to build around them.
Some eminent domain advocates say that developers will refuse to build unless "holdouts" like Kelo are removed. But that's not always the case.
Edith Macefield, of Seattle, refused a $1 million offer for her home and a condo-and-supermarket project went up around her. Darlene Dixon of Baltimore didn't want to sell either, so a university found another way to expand.
"Occasionally, with growth, we need to take people's land," said Benedict. That doesn't mean, he added, that cities should take land for just any reason.
"What this really is about is taking people's homes," and in Kelo's case, he said, "they didn't have to do this."

Addiction changes brain circuitry, making it hard to "apply the brakes" to detrimental behaviors.
In the non-addicted brain, control mechanisms constantly assess the value of stimuli and the appropriateness of the planned response. Inhibitory control is then applied as needed. In the addicted brain, this control circuit becomes impaired because of drug use and loses much of its inhibitory power over the circuits that drive responses to stimuli deemed salient.

speeding up photoshop CS4 zoom tool - Wacom, Laptop, Vista
If you're using a laptop, Vista, and a wacom Vista by default treats the laptop as a TabletPC. One of the things this does is interprets a pen "press and hold" as a right-click. This conflicts with CS4's zoom tool when you "press and hold" by causing a delay before you get the smooth opengl zoom.
If you like fast smooth opengl zooms by pressing and holding then you can turn off this feature in Vista Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Pen and Input Devices.
In the first tab (Pen Options) double click on "Press and Hold" and then
turn off "Enable press and hold for right clicking".
Now you don't get that stupid delay whenever you press and hold the pen. Hope this helps cause this was really aggravating me until I just figured it out today.
Hide this ad by registering as a memberMay 12th, 2009 #2
Does anyone know how to disable this feature in XP? I don't have tablet edition so as far as I can tell it shouldn't even be enabled in the first place. This being the case, I don't have a pen and input devices option in the control panel.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tropical ecologist: Australia must follow U.S. and EU in banning illegally logged wood
(02/09/2012) Australia should join the widening effort to stamp out illegal logging, according to testimony given this week by tropical ecologist William Laurance with James Cook University. Presenting before the Australian Senate's rural affairs committee, Laurance argued that the massive environmental and economic costs of illegal logging worldwide should press Australia to tighten regulations against importing illegally logged timber at home.
Humans drove rainforest into savannah in ancient Africa
(02/09/2012) Three thousand years ago (around 1000 BCE) several large sections of the Congo rainforest in central Africa suddenly vanished and became savannah. Scientists have long believed the loss of the forest was due to changes in the climate, however a new study in Science implicates an additional culprit: humans. The study argues that a migration of farmers into the region led to rapid land-use changes from agriculture and iron smelting, eventually causing the collapse of rainforest in places and a rise of grasslands. The study has implications for today as scientists warn that the potent combination of deforestation and climate change could flip parts of the Amazon rainforest as well into savannah.
Green groups: government moving too slowly on protecting Canada's Great Bear rainforest
(02/08/2012) Three environmental groups have submitted a letter to British Columbia Premier, Christy Clark, to ask the government to speed up the process of implementing the Great Bear Rainforest Agreement, which is meant to ensure 70 percent of old-growth forest is maintained.
Another food crisis looming in Africa: nearly 5 million South Sudanese lacking food
(02/08/2012) The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Food Program (WFP) have warned that South Sudan is facing a food crisis and that immediate action is needed to stave off a disaster. Currently 4.7 million people do not have enough to eat in South Sudan, while one million of these face severe food shortages. That number, however, could double if on-going conflict in the region continues and food prices continue rising, says the UN agencies.
Majority of protected tropical forests "empty" due to hunting
(02/08/2012) Protected areas in the world's tropical rainforests are absolutely essential, but one cannot simply set up a new refuge and believe the work is done, according to a new paper in Bioscience. Unsustainable hunting and poaching is decimating tropical forest species in the Amazon, the Congo, Southeast Asia, and Oceana, leaving behind "empty forests," places largely devoid of any mammal, bird, or reptile over a few pounds. The loss of such species impacts the whole ecosystems, as plants lose seed dispersers and the food chain is unraveled.
More big companies disclosing impacts on forests
(02/07/2012) More companies are reporting on the impact of their operations on global forests, finds a new report. Eighty-seven global corporations disclosed their "forest footprint" in 2011, according to the third Forest Footprint Disclosure (FFD), which asks companies to report on their impact on forests based on their use of five commodities: soy, palm oil, timber and pulp, cattle, and biofuels. This is a 11 percent rise from the companies that reported in 2010, including the first reports by companies such as the Walt Disney Company, Tesco UK, and Johnson & Johnson. However a number of so-called "green" companies continue to refuse to disclose, including Patagonia, Stonyfield Farms, and Whole Foods Markets Inc.
Sumatran rhino pregnant: conservationists hope third time's the charm
(02/07/2012) Ratu, a female Sumatra rhino (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis), is in the eleventh month of her third pregnancy raising hopes for a successful birth of one of the world's most imperiled big mammals. Ratu suffered two prior miscarriages, but researchers believe the current pregnancy—which still has four to five months to go (for a total term of around 15-16 months)—could produce what Indonesian officials have long hoped for: a bundle of joy at the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary in Sumatra. With only around 200 Sumatran rhinos surviving today in Indonesia and Bornean Malaysia, many conservationists see such breeding efforts as the last and best chance to save the Critically Endangered species from extinction.
New rainforest and indigenous reserve established in Peru
(02/07/2012) On February 4th, the Peruvian government and a small indigenous group created a new Amazon reserve, dubbed the Maijuna Reserve. Located in northeastern Peru, the 390,000 hectare (970,000 acres) reserve is larger than California's Yosemite National Park and over three times the size of Hong Kong.
Guyanese tribe maps Connecticut-sized rainforest for land rights
(02/07/2012) In a bid to gain legal recognition of their land, the indigenous Wapichan people have digitally mapped their customary rainforest land in Guyana over the past ten years. Covering 1.4 million hectares, about the size of Connecticut, the rainforest would be split between sustainable-use regions, sacred areas, and wildlife conservation according to a plan by the Wapichan tribe that will be released today. The plan says the tribe would preserve the forest from extractive industries.
Jurassic insect sings again
(02/06/2012) Innovative research has made a long-extinct katydid—which inhabited the world of dinosaurs like stegosaurus, allosaurus, and diplodocus—sing again. The discovery of an incredibly well-preserved fossil of a new species of katydid, dubbed Archaboilus musicus, gave biomechanical experts the opportunity to recreate a song not heard in 165 million years according to new research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Vampire and bird frogs: discovering new amphibians in Southeast Asia's threatened forests
(02/06/2012) In 2009 researchers discovered 19,232 species new to science, most of these were plants and insects, but 148 were amphibians. Even as amphibians face unprecedented challenges—habitat loss, pollution, overharvesting, climate change, and a lethal disease called chytridiomycosis that has pushed a number of species to extinction—new amphibians are still being uncovered at surprising rates. One of the major hotspots for finding new amphibians is the dwindling tropical forests of Southeast Asia.
Photos of the day: satellite tagging a 12-foot saltwater crocodile
(02/06/2012) Researchers in the Malaysian state of Sabah on Borneo have successfully satellite-tagged a 3.6 meter (11.8 feet) saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) in an effort to study human-wildlife conflict with the world's largest reptile. As massive, powerful reptiles they are quite capable of injuring and killing adult humans.
Wall Street Journal climate op-ed: the "equivalent of dentists practicing cardiology"
(02/06/2012) Climate scientists have struck back at the Wall Street Journal after it published an op-ed authored by 16 mostly non-climatologists arguing that global warming was not an urgent concern. The response letter, entitled Check With Climate Scientists for Views on Climate, responds that the Wall Street Journal should seek input on global warming from climate scientists. Six of the 16 authors who published the original article have ties to Exxon Mobil and their professions range from engineers to astronauts. In turn the letter to Wall Street Journal was signed by 38 well-noted climatologists.
Jellyfish explosion may be natural cycle
(02/06/2012) Evidence that jellyfish are taking over the oceans is currently lacking, according to a new study published in Bioscience. Complied by a number of marine experts, the study found that while jellyfish have been on the rise in some regions it is likely due to a natural cycle of jellyfish populations and not a global boom. Researchers, including a number of marine biologists, have warned for years that jellyfish numbers may be exploding due to human activities, such as overfishing, warmer oceans due to global climate change, and the rise of oxygen-depleted, so-called "dead zones."
Photos of the day: a celebration of wetlands (for World Wetlands Day)
(02/02/2012) Forget the groundhogs, February 2nd is also World Wetland Day, commemorating the historic convention of wetlands in Ramsar, Iran in 1971. The Ramsar Treaty was an international agreement meant to address the loss and degradation of wetlands worldwide.
Supernatural beliefs keep hunting sustainable on Indonesian island
(02/02/2012) How do indigenous communities hunt without pushing target species to local extinction? In other words, how have communities retained sustainable practices over countless generations. One answer is given in a new study by the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and the Center for International Research in Agronomy and Development (CIRAD): supernatural beliefs. Looking at a community of indigenous people on the Indonesian island of Seram, researchers found that supernatural hunting beliefs ensured animals never vanished for good.
Fungus from the Amazon devours plastic
(02/02/2012) Students from Yale University have made the amazing discovery of a species of fungus that devours one of the world's most durable, and therefore environmentally troublesome, plastics: polyurethane. The new species of fungus, Pestalotiopsis microspora, is even able to consume polyurethane in zero-oxygen (anaerobic) conditions, which would be important in eating plastics in the deep dark layers of landfills where little sunlight, water, or oxygen is found.
Photo of the day: super-abundance of life found in Amazon park
(02/02/2012) Surveying a little-explored park in the Peruvian Amazon has paid off in dividends: researchers with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) have cataloged 365 species that had not yet been recorded in Bahuaja Sonene National Park. The never-before recorded species included two bats, thirty birds, and over two hundred butterflies and moths.
Majority of Andes' biodiversity hotspots remain unprotected
(02/01/2012) Around 80 percent of the Andes' most biodiverse and important ecosystems are unprotected according to a new paper published in the open-access journal BMC Ecology. Looking at a broad range of ecosystems across the Andes in Peru and Bolivia, the study found that 226 endemic species, those found no-where else, were afforded no protection whatsoever. Yet time is running out, as Andean ecosystems are undergoing incredible strain: a combination of climate change and habitat destruction may be pushing many species into ever-shrinking pockets of habitat until they literally have no-where to go.
Atlantic sturgeon gains protection under the Endangered Species Act
(02/01/2012) The U.S. federal government has listed the massive and bizarre Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus) under the protection of the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Historically overfishing decimated the Atlantic sturgeon, while on-going threats include pollution and infrastructure, like dams and bridges that destroy habitat. Fishing for the Atlantic sturgeon has been banned since 1998, they are still caught as bycatch.
Group releases close-up photos of 'uncontacted' tribe in Peru
(02/01/2012) New photos provide visual evidence of just how close the long-isolated tribe of Mashco-Piro people in the Amazon rainforest are to being contacted by the outside world—a perilous moment for tribes highly susceptible to disease and likely to defend their people and territory with weapons. According to indigenous rights NGO Survival International, the Maschco-Piro tribe has been seen more frequently outside of their forest home in Manu National Park in recent years. Some experts blame illegal logging in the park and helicopters used in oil and gas projects for the sightings.
New meteorological theory argues that the world's forests are rainmakers
(02/01/2012) New, radical theories in science often take time to be accepted, especially those that directly challenge longstanding ideas, contemporary policy or cultural norms. The fact that the Earth revolves around the sun, and not vice-versa, took centuries to gain widespread scientific and public acceptance. While Darwin's theory of evolution was quickly grasped by biologists, portions of the public today, especially in places like the U.S., still disbelieve. Currently, the near total consensus by climatologists that human activities are warming the Earth continues to be challenged by outsiders. Whether or not the biotic pump theory will one day fall into this grouping remains to be seen. First published in 2007 by two Russian physicists, Victor Gorshkov and Anastassia Makarieva, the still little-known biotic pump theory postulates that forests are the driving force behind precipitation over land masses.
Wall Street Journal under attack for climate op-ed
(01/31/2012) The Wall Street Journal is under attack for publishing an op-ed attacking climate science last Friday, while turning down another op-ed explaining climate change and signed by 255 researchers with the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, which was eventually published in the journal Science. The op-ed last Friday first garnered attention because it was signed by 16 scientists, however other journalists have shown that most of these signatories are not climatologists (the list includes an astronaut, a physician, and an airplane engineer), many are well-known deniers, and at least six have been tied to the fossil fuels industry.
Forgotten species: the wild jungle cattle called banteng
(01/31/2012) The word "cattle," for most of us, is the antithesis of exotic; it's familiar like a family member one's happy enough to ignore, but doesn't really mind having around. Think for a moment of the names: cattle, cow, bovine...likely they make many of us think more of the animals' byproducts than the creatures themselves—i.e. milk, butter, ice cream or steak—as if they were an automated food factory and not living beings. But if we expand our minds a bit further, "cattle" may bring up thoughts of cowboys, Texas, herds pounding the dust, or merely grazing dully in the pasture. But none of these titles, no matter how far we pursue them, conjure up images of steamy tropical rainforest or gravely imperiled species. A cow may be beautiful in its own domesticated sort-of-way, but there is nothing wild in it, nothing enchanting. However like most generalizations, this idea of cattle falls to pieces when one encounters, whether in literature or life, the banteng.
Brazilian mining company connected to Belo Monte dam voted worst corporation
(01/31/2012) The world's second largest mining company, Vale, has been given the dubious honor of being voted the world's most awful corporation in terms of human rights abuses and environmental destruction by the Public Eye Awards. Vale received over 25,000 votes online, likely prompted in part by its stake in the hugely controversial Brazilian mega-dam, Belo Monte, which is being constructed on the Xingu River. An expert panel gave a second award to British bank Barclay's for speculation on food prices, which the experts stated was worsening hunger worldwide.
Saving the world's biggest river otter
(01/30/2012) Charismatic, vocal, unpredictable, domestic, and playful are all adjectives that aptly describe the giant river otter (Pteronura brasiliensis), one of the Amazon's most spectacular big mammals. As its name suggest, this otter is the longest member of the weasel family: from tip of the nose to tail's end the otter can measure 6 feet (1.8 meters) long. Living in closely-knit family groups, sporting a complex range of behavior, and displaying almost human-like capricious moods, the giant river otter has captured a number of researchers and conservationists' hearts, including Dutch conservationist Jessica Groenendijk.
Invasion!: Burmese pythons decimate mammals in the Everglades
(01/30/2012) The Everglades in southern Florida has faced myriad environmental impacts from draining for sprawl to the construction of canals, but even as the U.S. government moves slowly on an ambitious plan to restore the massive wetlands a new threat is growing: big snakes from Southeast Asia. A new paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) has found evidence of a massive collapse in the native mammal population following the invasion of Burmese pythons (Python molurus bivittatus) in the ecosystem. The research comes just after the U.S. federal government has announced an importation ban on the Burmese python and three other big snakes in an effort to safeguard wildlife in the Everglades. However, the PNAS study finds that a lot of damage has already been done.
Bad feedback loop: climate change diminishing Canadian forest's carbon sink
(01/30/2012) Climate change, in the form of rising temperatures and less precipitation, is shrinking the carbon sink of western Canada's forest, according to a new study released today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Tree mortality and a general loss of biomass has cut the carbon storage capacity of Canada's boreal forests by around 7.28 million tons of carbon annually, equal to nearly 4 percent of Canada's total yearly carbon emissions.
Picture of the day: the world's largest bromeliad
(01/30/2012) Found in the Andes of Peru and Bolivia, the world's biggest bromeliad Puya raimondii is imperiled by climate change and human disturbances.
California sets tough new clean car standards
(01/30/2012) The U.S. state that takes climate change most seriously—California—has unanimously approved new rules dubbed the Advanced Clean Cars program to lower carbon emissions, reduce oil dependence, mitigate health impacts from pollution, and save consumers money in the long-term. According to the new standards, by 2025 cars sold in California must cut greenhouse gas emissions by 34 percent and smog emissions by 75 percent. The program will also require 15.4 percent of all cars sold in California to be zero or near-zero emissions by 2025.
Featured video: NASA releases shocking 30 second film on climate
(01/30/2012) NASA has created a new animation showing global temperatures on a map of the Earth from 1880-2011. On the map, blues represent temperatures lower than baseline averages, while reds indicate temperatures higher than the average. As the 131 years pass, the map turns from bluish-white to increasingly yellow and red. Caused by the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, agricultural practices, and other human impacts, climate change has currently raised temperatures 0.8 degrees Celsius (1.44 degrees Fahrenheit) higher than the Industrial Revolution average.
U.S. media favored Keystone pipeline in coverage
(01/26/2012) A new report by Media Matters finds that U.S. TV and print media were largely biased toward the construction of TransCanada's Keystone XL Pipeline, which the Obama administration recently turned down. The report finds that guests and quotes were largely in favor of the pipeline in addition to news outlets consistently repeating job figures for the pipeline that have been discredited.
California city bans bullfrogs to safeguard native species
(01/26/2012) Santa Cruz, California has become the first city in the U.S. to ban the importation, sale, release, and possession of the American bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana). Found throughout Eastern and Central U.S., the frogs have become an invasive threat to wildlife in the western U.S. states and Canada.
Protecting original wetlands far preferable to restoration
(01/26/2012) Even after 100 years have passed a restored wetland may not reach the state of its former glory. A new study in the open access journal PLoS Biology finds that restored wetlands may take centuries to recover the biodiversity and carbon sequestration of original wetlands, if they ever do. The study questions laws, such as in the U.S., which allow the destruction of an original wetland so long as a similar wetland is restored elsewhere.
Photo of the Day: Critically Endangered brown spider monkey discovered in park
(01/26/2012) Researchers with The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and Colombia's National Parks Unit have located at least two individuals of brown-spider monkey (Ateles hybridus) in Colombia's Selva de Florencia National Park. The discovery is important because its the only known population of this particular subspecies (Ateles hybridus brunneus) in a protected area.
Frog perfume? Madagascar frogs communicate via airborne pheromones
(01/25/2012) Researchers have found that some frogs in Madagascar communicate by more than just sound and sight: they create distinct airborne pheromones, which are secreted chemicals used for communicating with others. A paper published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition relates that some male members of the Mantellinae family in Madagascar use large glands on their inner thighs to produce airborne pheromones. Interestingly, the pheromones are structurally similar to those produced by insects. Scientists have identified frogs producing water-borne pheromones before, but this is the first instance of airborne.
U.S. implements snake ban to save native ecosystems
(01/25/2012) Last week the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) announced it was banning the importation and sale across state lines of four large, non-native snakes: the Burmese python (Python molurus bivittatus), the yellow anaconda (Eunectes notaeus), and two subspecies of the African python (Python sebae). Although popular pets, snakes released and escaped into the wild have caused considerable environmental damage especially in the Florida Everglades.
Photos: 46 new species found in little-explored Amazonian nation
(01/25/2012) South America's tiniest independent nation still hides a number of big surprises: a three week survey to the sourthern rainforests of Suriname found 46 potentially new species and recorded nearly 1,300 species in all. Undertaken by Conservation International's (CI) Rapid Assessment Program (RAP) the survey found new species of freshwater fish, insects, and a new frog dubbed the "cowboy frog" for the spur on its heel. While Suriname may be small, much of its forest, in the Guyana Shield region of the Amazon, remains intact and pristine. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that 91 percent of Suriname is covered in primary forests, however this data has not been updated in over two decades.
87 marine mammals still eaten by people
(01/24/2012) Threats to marine mammals usually include climate change, drowning as by-catch, pollution, depletion of prey, but what about eating marine mammals? A new study in Biological Conservation finds that a surprising 87 marine mammals—including polar bears, small whales, and dolphins—have been eaten as food since 1990 in at least 114 countries.
Acid oceans: in some regions acidification a 'hundred times greater' than natural variation
(01/24/2012) Emissions of carbon over the last two centuries have raised the acidity of the oceans to the highest levels in 21,000 years and likely beyond, according to a new study in Nature Climate Change. The change threatens a number of marine species, including coral reefs and molluscs.
Pangolins imperiled by internet trade--are companies responding quickly enough?
(01/24/2012) You can buy pretty much anything on the internet: from Rugby team garden gnomes to Mickey Mouse lingerie. In some places, consumers have even been able to purchase illegal wildlife parts, such as ivory and rhino horn. In fact, the internet has opened up the black market wildlife trade contributing to the destruction of biodiversity worldwide. Pangolins, shy, scaly, anteater-like animals in appearance, have not been immune: in Asia the small animals are killed en masse to feed rising demand for Chinese traditional medicine, placing a number of species on the endangered list.
Leatherback sea turtles granted massive protected area along U.S. west coast
(01/23/2012) The U.S. federal government has designated 108,556 square kilometers (41,914 square miles) as critical habitat for the leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), the largest of the world's marine turtles and one of the most endangered. The protected area, around the size of Guatemala, spans coastal sea waters from California to Washington state, but does not protect the migration routes environmentalists hoped for.
Economic slowdown leads to the pulping of Latvia's forests
(01/23/2012) The economic crisis has pushed many nations to scramble for revenue and jobs in tight times, and the small Eastern European nation of Latvia is no different. Facing tough circumstances, the country turned to its most important and abundant natural resource: forests. The Latvian government accepted a new plan for the nation's forests, which has resulted in logging at rates many scientists say are clearly unsustainable. In addition, researchers contend that the on-the-ground practices of state-owned timber giant, Latvijas Valsts meži (LVM), are hurting wildlife and destroying rare ecosystems.
NASA: 2011 ninth warmest year yet
(01/23/2012) Despite being a strong La Niña year, which tends to be cooler than the average year, 2011 was the ninth warmest year on record and the warmest La Niña yet, according to a global temperature analysis by NASA. To date, nine of the world's ten warmest years have occurred since 2000 according to data going back to 1880.
Featured video: music in Madagascar to protest illegal logging
(01/22/2012) A new video highlights the plight of Madagascar's protected tropical forests, which are falling prey to illegal logging and foreign contractors. Featuring Razia Said, Malagasy singer and songwriter, the video shows concerts to raise awareness about illegal logging, especially near Maosala National Park.
Feared extinct, obscure monkey rediscovered in Borneo
(01/20/2012) A significant population of the rarely seen, little-known Miller's grizzled langurs (Presbytis hosei canicrus) has been discovered in Indonesian Borneo according to a new paper published in the American Journal of Primatology. Feared extinct by some and dubbed one of the world's 25 most threatened primates in 2005 by Conservation International (CI), the langur surprised researchers by showing up on camera trap in a region of Borneo it was never supposed to be. The discovery provides new hope for the elusive monkey and expands its known range, but conservationists warn the species is not out of the woods yet.
Scientists discover over 19,000 new species in 2009
(01/19/2012) In 2009 researchers described and named 19,232 species new to science, pushing the number of known species on Earth to just under two million (1,941,939 species), according to the State of Observed Species (SOS). Discoveries included seven new birds, 41 mammals, 120 reptiles, 148 amphibians, 314 fish, 626 crustaceans, and 9,738 insects.
Brazil begins preliminary damming of Xingu River as protests continue
(01/19/2012) Damming of the Xingu River has begun in Brazil to make way for the eventual construction of the hugely controversial, Belo Monte dam. The Norte Energia (NESA) consortium has begun building coffer dams across the Xingu, which will dry out parts of the river before permanent damming, reports the NGO International Rivers. Indigenous tribes, who have long opposed the dam plans on their ancestral river, conducted a peaceful protest that interrupted construction for a couple hours.
Geology has split the Amazon into two distinct forests
(01/19/2012) The common view of the Amazon is that it is one massive, unbroken forest. This impression is given by maps which tend to mark the Amazon by a large glob of green or even by its single name which doesn't account for regional changes. Of course, scientists have long recognized different ecosystems in the Amazon, most especially related to climate. But a new study in the Journal of Biogeography has uncovered two distinct forest ecosystems, sharply divided, caused by million of years of geologic forces.
Obama rejects Keystone pipeline, but leaves door open for tar sands
(01/18/2012) The Obama administration today announced it is scrapping TransCanada's Keystone pipeline after Republicans forced a 60-day deadline on the issue in a Congressional rider. The State Department advised against the pipeline arguing that the deadline did not give the department enough time to determine if the pipeline "served the national interest." The cancellation of the pipeline is a victory for environmental and social activists who fought the project for months, but Republicans are blasting the administration.

Got this chain to replace my existing RK X-ring. Have put about 10 hours of moto and hare scrambles on it and am highly impressed. I maintain my chains well and they are always adjusted to correct specs. This chain got one very small adjustment after the first hour of riding and it hasn't changed since. It has been through some serious rocks and performs like a champ. The master link fit correctly and was easy to install. This is the only chain I will ever purchase from now on. It is a truly excellent value and matches well with the Primary Drive brand sprockets.Read All Reviews

This chain has no o-rings and is delivered with a clip-type master-link. I will install a rivet-type master-link asap. I will also take care not "sitting on the chain" i.e. verify tension with you seating on the bike, not when up on side-stand. There is a lot of difference. TECH NOTE: We recommend following the manufacturer specified chain adjustment procedure.Read All Reviews

U of M notebook: Baseball Tigers bracing for tough opener
C-USA play starts vs. East Carolina
After back-to-back losses to nationally ranked Arkansas this week, the University of Memphis baseball team has to dust itself off and step back into the harsh reality of facing another challenging opponent.
The Tigers (11-8) open Conference USA play today in Greenville, N.C., against East Carolina, a perennial league power and a team stocked with the top-rated pitching in C-USA. The Pirates (16-4) are led by senior Seth Maness (3-1, 1.98 earned run average), junior Mike Wright (4-0, 1.80) and junior Kevin Brandt (2-0, 0.72).
Maness will start tonight against Memphis right-hander Dan Langfield (2-1, 3.81). Wright will pitch Saturday and Brandt on Sunday.
''They have the most experienced weekend staff returning,'' said Tigers catcher Phillip Chapman. ''Maness, who was the (C-USA) Pitcher of the Year, has been doing great this year. But we've been preparing. Everything we've done this year has been to prepare for conference play. I believe we are ready for it.''
The Tigers faced a difficult opening series opponent in 2010, too, but were up to the task. The U of M won two of three against national power Rice.
''No one gave us chance in that series, either,'' Chapman said.
ECU enters with a nation-leading 1.67 team ERA in 183 innings. The Pirates have held opponents to a .205 batting average. Memphis will counter with the league's top hitting attack (.322) and one ranked in the top 15 nationally.
''They'll be a real handful,'' Tiger coach Daron Schoenrock said. ''They (have) probably the most dominant rotation in our league. What we are going to see on the mound is a dominant Conference USA pitching staff, veterans, guys who have been there."
Football updates
The Tigers football team worked out in full gear Thursday for the first time this spring, but Memphis is practicing without mid-year enrollee Perrance Ward, a junior college defensive back.
Ward, a 6-foot, 205-pound safety, was expected to get significant repetitions in a secondary that lost Marcus Ball and Darius Davis from last year. Ward led East Mississippi Community College defensive backs with 62 tackles, and his five interceptions ranked sixth nationally in 2010.
"He's not out there," head coach Larry Porter said. "Academically, he's got some things that he has to get squared away. And he's being disciplined for some other things as well. So he's not out there."
Returning to practice Thursday was linebacker DeRon Furr, who missed Tuesday's workout with migraine headaches. Also, 6-3, 210-pound quarterback Taylor Reed, a member of the 2011 signing class, attended Thursday's practice. Reed, from El Dorado (Ark.) High, is a dual-threat quarterback who led his team to consecutive Class 6A state titles.
Softball goes west
The women's softball team (18-7, 3-3) travels to UTEP for a C-USA series in El Paso that begins with a doubleheader Saturday. Coach Windy Thees' team has started strong behind the pitching of Janelle Valle (0.82 ERA) and Carly Hummel (1.13 ERA with 93 strikeouts in 81 innings).
The U of M's solid pitching has allowed it to overcome anemic hitting. Memphis is batting .193, last in C-USA by nearly 45 percentage points. UTEP leads the league with a .291 team average and also tops C-USA in runs scored (160), hits (215), slugging percentage (.468), on-base percentage (.375) and runs batted in (139).
Odds and ends
The Arkansas-Memphis baseball series, renewed this week for the first time in eight years, drew 15,000 over two nights, the first in North Little Rock and the second Wednesday at AutoZone Park. Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn said he and Tigers coach Daron Schoenrock are discussing playing again in 2013. ... The Highland Hundred, the football booster group, and the M Club will conduct the first Blue & Gray BBQ Competition April 15 and 16 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in conjunction with the April 16 Blue-Gray Spring Game. There is a $100 entry fee for teams, which are limited to four members. For more information, contact Frank Fletcher at 678-4878.

Renegade Kid, who developed Dementium: The Ward are working on a new game with Producers Mastiff, on a game simply called "Moon". The game is a 1st person shooter, that obviously takes place on the moon. The game is said to be very dark, twisted and disturbing.
I would expect nothing less from Renegade Kid, especially after playing Dementium. I'm also assuming they have gotten an even better grasp on the 1st person Ds controls which will make this game even better.
While on the Moon building a new lunar base, researchers find a sealed alien hatch, and what they find beyond it is more than they bargained for. This is the only video of the game so far, I'll keep you updated as more about this game unfolds. Click HERE to view the video at Game Trailers.

text: NASA sent a new ultra modern and expensive space probe to Mars again. The mission of the space probe was to look for water availability on the Red Planet, no matter how microscopic it might be. Unfortunately at the moment of landing, the contact with the space probe was lost. During the subsequent analysis of the photos it was found out that the space probe had fallen into a huge puddle of water. The mud had destroyed the complicated and delicate electronics of the apparatus. A NASA spokesman declared that although they had lost a space probe worth $ 2 billions, they were satisfied because they had unconditionally proved that there was water on Mars.

Fish passages to be improved in Michigan
TRAVERSE CITY, MI (AP)-- The federal government is awarding $645,000 to Michigan and other Great Lakes states to remove structures that prevent fish from migrating up and down rivers and streams.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says the grants—slated for Dickinson County, among others—will support removal of 12 barriers and reconnect more than 91 stream miles.
Fish passage has been hampered over the years by culverts, dams and dikes. The structures have served beneficial purposes such as flood control and electricity generation, but fish have paid a price.
The agency says removing some barriers helps reverse the harmful effects.

"Absolutely love how the cards turned out! We received so many complements from our family and friends. I used one of our engagement shots and added the ceremony details to personalize. The process was simple and shipping was fast. Customer service was excellent too."
"I used these for my wedding invitations and everyone who received them RAVED! They are nice and thick and printed beautifully. DO NOT forget to include the reception information on your invite like I did! I had the church information but failed to include location and start time for the cocktail hour! It simply says "reception to follow." I also took these incites and glued them into a pocket fold that was gold. I put stickers with our initials on them to seal the pocket fold. Looked AMAZING"
"These invites were perfect for our Late August rustic themed wedding. Designing was simple and they arrived earlier than expected! Terrific experience!"
"We are so happy with how our wedding invitations turned out! I can't believe how much we love them. The colors are vibrant and elegant and are perfect for our Dallas rooftop wedding. I give this product 5 stars for sure and nothing less."
"I honestly cannot say enough about the customer service, customization process, and this beautiful invitation! I was SO nervous to order my wedding invitations online, but I will be telling all my friends to order from wedding paper divas! I was able to COMPLETLY customize my invitations and RSVP's to have the exact format and look I was wanting. Upgrading to the thicker paper is completely worth it for the price! I am beyond happy."

Magnets for animal lovers--and for the slightly naughty
katharine from Edina, MN – Verified Buyer
Colorful, imaginative magnets provide good service to those who post photos, etc. on the fridge.I like the safari set best. The butts are vaguely naughty, part of the appeal.( But I'd also like to see forward facing animals.) Not too expensive. You can find these more cheaply at other websites. But I bought mine here, taking advantage of a sale and free shipping.

Seyi Ajirotutu
Fresno State Senior
PROS: Has good size that uses it well to shield defender and make the catch in traffic. Can beat the jam, and is also an effective blocker due to his size. Shows decent body control and will lay out for the catch. Uses his size well after the catch and does a nice job securing the ball before turning upfield.
CONS: Doesn't have great speed to challenge defenses downfield. Doesn't get much separation.
OVERVIEW: He has good size, but that's his best asset right now. Was the leading receiver the past two years.
NFL FORECAST: More than likely, he'll have to stick on special teams early in order to stick in the league. but he has the size and receiving ability to develop some more down the road. At best, he's probably a No. 4 receiver, unless he can refine his route-running to a degree that will overcome his lack of ideal burst and speed. But he'll never be a playmaker. If he can stick early on special teams, then he can find a role on a team. But really, the best you can hope for is him becoming another Kassim Osgood. Offensively, he's unlikely to give you more than 15-20 receptions in a given season.
ATL FORECAST: If he can play on special teams, he has a chance to replace Brian Finneran as the No. 4 guy. His size and blocking potential make it so that he could fill a similar niche as Finneran. But he won't be anywhere near as good offensively as Finneran was in his prime. And for the most part, his value in Atlanta will be as a special teams guy, that might eventually develop into a decent reserve option down the road in the event of an injury.
VALUE: Unless a team is hurting for depth, Ajirotutu should go undrafted. But he wouldn't be a crazy reach for a team looking for a special teams guy that can push and compete for a fifth receiver job right off the bat.

As I recall there are different types of DVI-I adapters (2 I believe). There are the cheaper that don't do any digital>analog conversion, and there are the ones that conver digital to analog (which cost about $40). Chances are you have the cheaper one. But like always, is there anybody that can confirm what I said?
You are out of luck Geforce3 cards don't support Twinview. You need a Geforce 2MX/4MX/4TI/FX.
Even the readme didn't make this very clear! I've been trying to configure twinview for my GeForce 256...now i know why it doesn't work!
Is nvtv the only other answer to getting tv-out to work for these other cards? Are there noises about building this capability in the driver for the non-MX cards?
Thanks for making this clear, though!
For tvout twinview is not needed. To set up tvout without twinview you take a working XF86Config file. Then you let the screen section use a monitor section containing the refresh rates for your TV. After that you add the needed tvout options to the device/screen section (tvsystem, connectedmonitor. ..)
I'll try this, thanks!
I was curious, though...does this allow both monitor and TV to get output, or one at a time?
...also...can the resolution of the TV be different than that of the monitor?
Thanks for your help.
One at a time. Despite being a higher performing GPU, the NV20/GeForce3 apparently has only one DAC, which means it drives only one display at a time.
From the README:
The TwinView feature is only supported on NVIDIA GPUs that support
dual-display functionality, such as the GeForce2 MX, GeForce2 Go,
Quadro2 MXR, Quadro2 Go, and any of the GeForce4 or Quadro4 GPUs.
Please consult with your video card vendor to confirm that TwinView is
supported on your card.
cool, figured it was a limitation of the VidCard
I got it to work easily at home on my GF4 ti4600, but at work I have an old one I got from a friend... Biggest thing that bugs me now, is at home I dont got the room for dual head (not enough desk space).. at work, its a must... do I bring my home computer to work :-p ?? The other thing is, dual head makes using a KVM a little more interesting :p

surprising direction of discovery led to fundamental ambiguities concerning the scope of molecular biology in relation to other disciplines. Bacteriologists, organic chemists, geneticists, and classical biochemists5 all contributed to the growing body of tools, techniques, and theory. Paul Berg, one of the most innovative researchers within the field and a biochemist by training, argues that molecular biologists were united by similar beliefs about the proper level at which to understand cell behavior: "Someone who would have called themselves a molecular biologist … would want to understand the phenomena at the molecular level" (telephone interview with Paul Berg, Professor of Biochemistry, Stanford University, February 17, 1993). This approach necessitated asking questions of a more fundamental nature than those asked within much of the mainstream of classical biochemistry. While perhaps providing the advantage of analytical depth and rigor, pre-1970s molecular biology suffered from tools that were inadequate for seriously studying eukaryotic (higher) organisms. Thus, the whole of biochemistry, much of it focused on "the characterization of metabolic pathways … of the more numerous and immediately useful proteins" (Kenney, 1986, p. 12), was affected but not transformed by molecular genetics. This distinction held as long as understanding of the physiological events of eukaryotes could not be greatly enhanced through the use of molecular genetic approaches.
After 1970, critical advances in technique, instrumentation, and theory overcame many of the barriers that had slowed the adoption of molecular genetics. The most public and startling of these advances was the gene-splicing technique pioneered by Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer in 1973. Along with work by Jackson, Symons, and Berg, the potential to manipulate—to change—the genetic code and subsequent protein production of an organism became feasible through use of restriction enzymes6 developed by Boyer (Johnson, 1983). This technique "has allowed for the first time the analysis of individual eukaryotic genes as well as the study of the organization of genetic information in higher organisms," as well as "enabled modification of the genetic makeup of bacteria and unicellular eukaryotic organisms so as to render them capable of producing gene products encoded by the DNA of higher eukaryotes" (Cohen, 1982, p. 21). The Cohen-Boyer technique had a broad effect on biology and biochemistry. Not only did it aid in the resolution of long-standing questions, it opened up the possibility of asking fundamentally new questions. Not surprisingly, the fundamental novelty of the technique led to serious questions of ethics and safety. Perhaps a bit more
The definition and boundaries of each of these disciplines have changed over time, but the textbook definition or the relative scope of each has not changed nearly as much as that of molecular biology.
Restriction enzymes are the critical material in "cutting" up genetic material for the purpose of extracting specific DNA strands. These strands are then spliced into plasmids for the purpose of insertion into bacteria.
