In Salary Twist, Firm Pays More -- and Less
There are really just two kinds of law firms these days: Those that pay their associates at "market," and those that don't get anywhere near it. Duval & Stachenfeld is doing both. The 50-lawyer firm starts first-year associates at $60,000 -- or $100,000 below the starting salary at many Am Law 100 firms. Mid-year and senior associates, however, are promised the same total pay -- or more -- that they'd earn at Latham & Watkins or Skadden Arps. Recruiters call it a novel approach.
Germs more potent after space travel
Bacteria sent into orbit returned to Earth more infectious than when they left, which could mean a new protocol for missions.

Zalman ZM-M2020W Trimon 3D Monitor Reviewed
Our friends at Trusted Reviews got their hands on the Zalman ZM-M2020W Trimon 3D Monitor recently, and here is their impression of it.
Zalman has proved that nVidia's investment in 3D display technology was a sound one. This screen really does produce a truly immersive 3D environment in which to play your games. In fact everyone in the office was surprised at how good the 3D effect was on the ZM-M2020D. Unfortunately the excessively glossy coating on this screen doesn't just make it impossible to recommend for general Windows use, but it also severely affects the 3D aspect, since if you have the slightest hint of ambient light in your room, you're constantly distracted by the reflection of your own face and everything behind you.
It will retail for approximately £411.25 after taxes in the UK, making this one of the more expensive monitors to own. Working people ought to avoid this as it doesn't add any value to your job, but gamers might want to check it out for the novelty factor.

Retired NFL Players Suit Up for Licensing Fight
Jury selection is set for today before U.S. District Judge William Alsup in a trial pitting a class of retired NFL players against their union. The plaintiffs signed licensing deals to allow the union to market their images, and the retirees allege they should have shared equally in the revenue. Many older players received nothing, plaintiffs claim. Defendants, meanwhile, say every player whose likeness was used received royalties, and that the retirees were never entitled to an equal share.
