The latest entry in the DV-to-DVD product category, Pinnacle Systems' Pinnacle Express ($49.95 direct) is well designed and easy to use. But the program proved unstable in multiple tests on several computers, making it hard to recommend. Express is logically laid out, with icons on the top of the page that guide you through production. Step one is capture, where Express automatically scans your video for scene changes based on time code or content. But unlike Ulead's DVD MovieFactory, Express limits capture duration to about 18 minutes on Microsoft Windows 98 and 2000 PCs, a hassle you can avoid by upgrading to Windows XP and capturing to an NTFS-formatted disc. Step two occurs in the Preview/Edit screen. You start by choosing a menu template, or you can create your own menus, inserting a custom bitmapped background and background music and specifying video layout and text style.

However, today scientists think that smectite clay could one day rise above cosmetic use to take its place comfortably with antibacterial behemoths like penicillin. People are interested in natural cures and I think that there is a lot of nature that we dont understand yet, ASU geochemist Lynda Williams says. What if we discover a mechanism for controlling microbes that had never been discovered before? It is these avenues, at the boundaries of scientific discovery, at the edges of my field and knowledge (and Shelleys), where such discoveries are made. .
