...Mexico's cactus diversity attracts the interest of international markets and collectors who employ illegal tactics to obtain wild-collected specimens of desirable species, some of which may be newly named to science, rare, or threatened with extinction," according to a World Wildlife Fund study authored by Rolando Barcenas Luna of the Autonomous University of Queretaro, Mexico. Barcenas and Terry are members of a team of biologists currently mapping several threatened cactus species through DNA sampling, but their project is often stymied by growing threats to the plants from illegal harvesting and destruction by drug traffickers.

...ball down the stretch," says Gasol, Bryant's teammate with the Los Angeles Lakers. "They did what they were supposed to do." Namely, feed Bryant the ball. But unlike past years, Kobe didn't hog it every time. On the next four trips, Bryant made one of those wild shots in the lane that only he can hit, assisted on a three pointer, dropped a slick pass to Dwight Howard for an easy dunk, and a drained a trey of his own. The U.S. got the lead back up to nine...
