Study Finds Skates and Rays Reducing Shellfish Numbers
Overfishing of powerful sharks — a top predator in the ocean — may endanger bay scallops, a gourmet delicacy. With fewer sharks to devour them, skates and rays have increased sharply along the East Coast and they are gobbling up shellfish, particularly bay scallops, researchers report in Friday’s issue of the journal Science. Ecologists have known that reducing key species on land can affect an entire ecosystem, but this study provides hard data for the same thing in the ocean, said lead author Charles H. Peterson of the Institute of Marine Sciences at the University of North Carolina. Co-author Ransom A. Myers of Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Peterson were studying different ends of the food chain, Peterson said in a telephone interview. “Myers was working on great sharks and I was working on cownose rays and their impact on bay scallops and other shellfish. We realized that separately we had interesting science, but together we had an absolute revelation,” he said. “We were able to show why these top predators matter,” Peterson said. “We knew the answer right there, that there was a consequence.” Peterson, who works at the university center in Morehead City, N.C., said scallops used to be so abundant there that people were allowed to collect a bushel a day. “The kids were able to see that food doesn’t just come from a market,” he said. Now, scallops are very reduced, he said. “The rays, as they come through, eat all that are in any dense patch and have eaten so many there does not appear to be enough to create spawning stock.” Scallops are an easy target because they do not burrow into the sand, Peterson said. Millions of rays from Chesapeake Bay migrate through the area, he said. “What are they going to feed on to fuel their migration?” In…

Event Horizon: Selections From The Motion Picture Soundtrack
Event Horizon: Selections From The Motion Picture Soundtrack Customer Review: Wickedly warped, just like the film. Excellent mix of techno and classical orchestration. The mood of this disc almost beats out the film in the gloom catagory. A great recording to listen to when the lights are out, it’s just plain scary […]

Windows Vista Goes to Boot Camp
“You can even run Windows software.” That’s the provocative promise that Apple has been making ever since June 2005, when it shocked its diehard supporters with the news that future Macs would run on Intel processors. A few months later, Apple backed up its promise by releasing a beta version of “Boot Camp,” a program that allowed Mac users to install and run a copy of Windows XP as an alternative operating system on its hardware. In January, Microsoft dampened Apple’s sales pitch slightly when it released its new operating system, Windows Vista, which was incompatible with Boot Camp. On Thursday, however, Apple responded by releasing Boot Camp 1.2, an update that not only supports Vista but also incorporates more advanced drivers to improve the performance of Windows programs on Mac hardware. The 138-MB download is available for free on the Apple Web site to Mac users with Intel chipsets and at least version 10.4.6 of Mac OS X. Boot Camp and Leopard Michael Silver, Research Vice President in Gartner’s client computing group, described Boot Camp as a “great insurance policy for people on the fence” about whether to buy a Mac or a PC, but said that he doubted it would significantly increase Apple’s share of the PC market. “Programs like Boot Camp and Parallels can increase Apple’s market share, or even will,” Silver said, “since some people now will make the switch to Mac. But it’s certainly not a mainstream solution that will garner a huge percentage of the market, simply because it’s so expensive to set up.” Silver noted that not only is Mac hardware typically more expensive, but also that Boot Camp and its competitors require a fully licensed copy of the Windows operating system. As it has from the start, Apple warns Boot Camp users that the program is still…

WTO Rebuffs U.S. on Internet Betting Ban
The U.S. has failed to change its ban on Internet betting to comply with a World Trade Organization ruling that said the legislation unfairly targets offshore casinos, the global trade body said Friday. The ruling opens the door to possible commercial sanctions against the U.S. In a 215-page decision, a three-member WTO compliance panel sided with the twin Caribbean island nation of Antigua and Barbuda, which has argued that Internet gambling is a lucrative source of revenue and provides an income for hundreds of islanders. The Geneva-based trade referee has said Washington can maintain restrictions on online gambling, as long as its laws are equally applied to American operators offering remote betting on horse racing. Shares in London-listed gaming stocks rose after the announcement. Leisure & Gaming PLC closed up 11 percent at 19.75 pence (38.9 cents), while PartyGaming PLC rose 4.5 percent to 52.25 pence ($1.02), after initially surging by 16 percent. 888 Holdings PLC climbed 3 percent to 124.75 pence ($2.46). “It vindicates all that we have been saying for years about the discriminatory trade practices of the United States in this area, and we look forward to the United States opening its markets,” Antiguan Finance Minister Errol Cort said in a statement. Washington claimed victory in the WTO’s initial ruling two years ago because the body recognized its right to prevent offshore betting as a means of protecting public order and public morals. But the U.S. acknowledged Friday that the latest decision was a setback. “The compliance panel did not agree with the United States that we had taken the necessary steps to comply with the WTO recommendations,” said Gretchen Hamel, a spokeswoman for the office of the U.S. Trade Representative. She added, however, that “nothing in the panel’s report undermines the broad, favorable results that the United States obtained from the WTO in…

Military To Use Bomb-Sniffing Robots
As it increases its use of robots in war zones, the military will begin using an explosive-sniffing version that will allow soldiers to better detect roadside bombs, which account for more than 70 percent of U.S. casualties in Iraq. Fido is the first robot with an integrated explosives sensor. Burlington, Mass.-based iRobot Corp. is filling the military’s first order of 100 in this southwest Ohio city and will ship the robots over the next few months. There are nearly 5,000 robots in Iraq and Afghanistan, up from about 150 in 2004. Soldiers use them to search caves and buildings for insurgents, detect mines and ferret out roadside and car bombs. As the war in Iraq enters its fifth year, the federal government is spending more money on military robots and the two major U.S. robot makers have increased production. Foster-Miller Inc., of Waltham, Mass., recently delivered 1,000 new robots to the military. IRobot cranked out 385 robots last year, up from 252 in 2005. The government will spend about $1.7 billion on ground-based military robots between fiscal 2006 and 2012, said Bill Thomasmeyer, head of the National Center for Defense Robotics, a congressionally funded consortium of 160 companies, universities and government labs. That’s up from $100 million in fiscal 2004. Fido, produced at a GEM City Manufacturing and Engineering plant, represents an improvement in bomb-detecting military robots, said Col. Terry Griffin, project manager of the Army/Marine Corps Robotic Systems Joint Project Office at Redstone Arsenal, Ala. The bomb-sniffing sensor is part of the robot, with its readings displayed on the controller along with camera images. Otherwise, a soldier would have to approach the suspect object with a sensor or try to attach it to a robot. The new robot has a 7-foot manipulator arm so it can use the sensor to scan the inside and undercarriage of…
