There's a new crop on the block and it's got scientists abuzz about its potential to be a new source of biofuel. No, it's not some rare ginseng-wolfsbane hybrid wonder plant that you find in the deepest bowels of Africa. It's actually much closer to home than you think, like on marginal farmland on eastern Washington to North Dakota. Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the little plant that could, the Camelina plant!

What makes scientists excited about the Camelina? For one, Camelina can grow in dry, undesirable conditions. Another thing is that it can produce a significant amount of oil from its seeds, and it doesn't need heavy exposure to chemicals such as fertilizer and insecticides to flourish. Economic, hardy, and relatively low-maintenance - what's not to like?

With all these boons from the Camelina plant, it's not surprising that people have decided to ride the wave, so to speak. Targeted Growth, a Seattle biotech firm, is already making plans with the wonder crop, hoping to plant 1 million acres by 2009. Farmers in Montana have also taken action, with more than 50,000 acres already bristling with Camelina.

Certainly good news for the alternative fuel market, and with Camelina seeds yielding a very high amount of omega-3 fatty acids, a substance believed to reduce the risk of certain heart diseases. It probably won't be long before we're all cooking with Camelina oil. Updates about this new wonder plant as we get them!

Perhaps the reason why Tony Montana is always angry is because nobody ever wanted to say "Hello" to his little friend. Apart from all the backstabbing and criminal activities and the various drug-related problems, that is. Whatever the reason, players will be able to harness the man's rage as they blow their way through the opposition in Scarface: The World Is Yours.

Bloody, intense, and touting the badge of an M-Rated game, Scarface: The World is Yours for the Nintendo Wii video game console puts players in the role of Tony Montana as they try to conquer Miami's criminal underworld. Featuring a riveting, event-driven gameplay style, Scarface: The World is Yours also makes use of the Wii's innovative Wiimote and Nunchuck controller combo.

Radical Entertainment's Scarface: The World is Yours is slated for a summer release. In the meantime, check out the new screenshots below.

As we all know, Scarface: The World is Yours is way up there near the top of the violent video games list. We've got a trailer that's going to - well, show you guys just how much violence there is in the movie based game.

Tony Montana is certainly not somebody you mess with. And you certainly don't want to say 'Hello' to his little friend. The Scarface: The World is Yours Violence trailer starts at Tony's mansion where Sosa's men are attempting to kill Tony. In the movie, Tony dies in the hands of Sosa's assassins - though in the game, Tony survives and sets out for revenge.

Scarface: The World is Yours from Radical Entertainment is certainly not kid friendly as Tony wields various weapons from a chainsaw and the rocket launcher, and he knows how to use them. (*insert flying dismembered body parts and swear words here*) The game's Wii version is set to hit the video games' shelves on summer of this year. For the meantime, check out the video. Remember kids, don't try this at home - or anywhere for that matter.

About two centuries ago, people all over the world started reporting sightings of snowflakes as large as dinner plates plummeting from the sky. None of those sightings were verified until recently because the fragility of the flakes made it hard to document the phenomenon. The scientists of today, however, say that these stories may not be whoppers after all.

Meteorologists say that although the snowflakes are fragile and can easily be broken up by wind, there's a very slim chance that some actually make it to the ground.

"There is every reason to suppose that such instances might occur almost every day during winter somewhere in Europe or the maritime fringes of North America and Asia," he said. But, he added, such extraordinary snowfalls "are seldom reported or authenticated," said William Pike of the Royal Meteorological Society in Britain.

And Pike isn't the only one who thinks so. "Clearly, they exist, because people pull them out of their freezers. Some of these things can be very, very rare, but not impossible," says Kenneth Librecht of the California Institute of Technology. Librecht asserted that the laws of physics have not ruled out the existence, or the possibility thereof, of such flakes to exist.

The Guinness Book of Records says that the largest snowflake ever found was in a Montana snowstorm in the 1800's when a rancher captured a flake 15 inches in diameter. That record may soon be broken though. NASA and other space agencies are expected to hunt for these marvels by 2015 with weather satellites all at the low price of $1 billion.

There's a reason why the volcano over at Yellowstone is considered super. Apart from the fact that it spans parts of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, scientists recently discovered yet another super thing about it. Apparently, there is significant activity going on beneath its placid-looking surface -- and one that is increasing lately. Add to that little bit of news is the discovery that the nearby Treton Range is getting shorter.

So does this mean that the Yellowstone supervolcano is moving over the landscape, thereby affecting the expanse of the nearby range? Probably so. But that's only the tip of the iceberg -- er, volcano.

It's been said that researchers have been poring 17 years of their work just tracking the horizontal and vertical motion of the Yellowstone caldera. This is the huge volcanic crater that was created, thanks to the super-eruption of the supervolcano some super 60, 000 years ago.

According to lead study author Robert Smith of the University of Utah, "we think it's a combination of magma being intruded under the caldera and hot water released from the magma being pressurized because it's trapped." And while they still do not consider this as enough warning or evidence for impending doom, aka a supervolcanic eruption, "it would be prudent to keep monitoring the volcano."

  

UK, get ready for Scarface: Money. Power. Respect. as it is bound your way this November 17th. Created by Vivendi Games' Sierra Entertainment, this game is an example of how strategy gameplay should be combined with real-time combat.

Enter the world of Tony Montana as he rose to power in the world of Miami back in 1983, drug -idden as it was. Here, experience the epic as you go head-to-head against other drug cartels, until you have spread your bases wide enough to be declared as the ultimate Kingpin of the city.

For the story-based single-player mode, you will have to complete a series of missions that are lifted from the actual movie where the game is taken from, in order to conquer "turfs" in Miami. The challenge is for you to be able to handle larger territories as you go up the levels, as well as gain more foes along the way.

The wireless multi-player mode, meanwhile, allows up to four players posing as criminal cartels racing against each other for money and territory. Beginning with a "Land Grab", each cartels will lay claim to their share of Miami. Now, you will each take turns managing the production and distribution of drugs while carefully weaving your own strategy to overpower your opponents until eventually, you get to overtake their turf.

So set your strategies straight. This game will be waiting for you come next week.

Unwanted cats and dogs roaming urban communities don't  fall from the sky like rain. According to animal control experts, they often come from people who ignore the cardinal rule responsible pet ownership: spay or neuter your pets.

Controlling population control of unwanted pets is not cheap. It has been estimated that about 20% of the 36 million dogs and 36 million cats in the US end up in public and private animal shelters annually. About 85% are euthanized because no one wants to bring them home. Each animal put to sleep costs $7, bringing the total figure to somewhere between $60 and $100 million.

Unwanted pets also end up killed or dead outside shelters and pose real nuisance and public health problem to people, wildlife and livestock.

If you live in or around the City of Helena, Lewis and Clark County in Montana, you have the chance to do the right thing on September 16 - 17. The Montana Spay Neuter Task Force, The Foundation for Animals and the Helena Area Friends of Pets have teamed up to provide free spaying and neutering for those who cannot afford to take their pets to a veterinarian.

In the past two years, the animal medical mission has altered hundreds of cats and dogs. While there are millions of unwanted pets around the world, the sponsors of this event say this is bound to make a difference
