Sir, John Kay confuses two issues in his comment on the flat tax ("Why tax cannot be expressed on a postcard", February 8). Even a flat tax might not be as simple as some hope because there will be legitimate dispute about the definition of income, as well as about whether it should be individuals or households that form the basis for taxation. There are various ways of resolving such disputes, using the courts and common law as well as explicit regulations.
But having established a working definition of income and of the unit for taxation, the case for a flat tax remains. All income above a threshold should be taxed at the same rate and a single rate sales tax should be levied on all spending rather than, as present, at two different rates and only on half of spending.
Distortionary taxes cause welfare losses and graduated income taxes lead voters to support programmes believing the costs will be met by other, richer voters. This leads to the misallocation of resources and the over-provision of government services.

I have noticed throughout the series she tends to hook up with the arch enemies of Rick (she's clueless). Though she's gorgeous, she has a fettish to shoot and fight the zombies. Her current status is: ALIVE! With this very popular comic book, game, and TV show, you either love it or hate it. This AMC television series is one of the best TV shows of all times. Let me know what you think of this more simplified tut by commenting, faving or clicking on "Love It"! Peace n love to ya!

Background: I have several
PopupViews of which the loadtime adds to the startup time of a program. To improve the perceived performance I want to defer the loading of the
PopupView to the moment that they are actually used. I thought about this:
filelist = {};
Dynamic@PopupView[filelist, Dynamic[obj, (obj = #;) &],
Button["Edit", filelist = {1, 2, 3}, ImageSize -> 80]]
The idea works but not as expected, the popupview is not displayed correctly until filelist is loaded. I want to correct this or find an alternative way to set this up.
Question: How can I defer the loading of a
PopupView control until it is used ?

I'm using Lenovo Z370 laptop and I made a dual boot with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 13.10. I noticed that since I started using Ubuntu 13.10 my laptop frequently overheats and it powers off because of the excess heat. Any explanation? Thank you so much... Noland
What happened: Overheating can be caused by several factors.
I took the liberty of looking up your laptop's specs, the specific model you're using does not have dedicated graphics. So that eliminates the possible cause of graphics card problems.
What you can do: Here's just some possible methods to solve your crisis.
The Best choice to reduce the power and prevent to heat you pc just install the laptop tools it reduce the fan speed and save battery life.
or Either you can use TLP
Note : Use only one on both of them.
hope it helps to you.
Does your laptop have Nvidia hybrid graphics? Did you install Bumblebee? If not then that may be the cause of overheating. Check this http://bumblebee-project.org/

A new state agency bond plan will give six public Universities in Kentucky the means to fund renovation and construction projects, and one of them is WKU.
Right now this small building that was once a house is home the WKU's Honors College and this one belongs to the International Center.
Within two years, they will share a new, much larger home.
"Both the honors college and internationalizing the w-k-u experience are among the universities highest priorities," said WKU President Gary Ransdell.
The new building will bring together two programs that will benefit from each other.
"In alot of ways, the world is going to be on campus with them. Students form all over the world are going to be sharing the same building. I think it really integrates two important aspects of what WKU stresses," said Clay Motley Honors College Assoc. Director.
"If we create an environment where they interact, and they happen to on a regular basis, I'm hoping that stronger relationships will develop between our WKU student, our domestic and international students, because they're both WKU students," said Andrea Cheney International Center Coordinator.
Ransdell says the school has been planning this project for two years, and they're ready to get started.
"Those things are happening simultaneously so when the state does authorize the issuing of the bond, we're pretty far down the road in property acquisition and building design so when the bond is issued, probably in late fall of 2013, we're ready to break ground on the building," said Ransdell.
Ransdell says international student tuition and fees will help generate revenue for the university to pay off their bond.
President Ransdell says he hopes to have the bonds authorized by late fall and wants to break ground immediately, and open for students within 18 months.

Help finding an AC unit
I know its the end of the summer and all, but I figure that might make it a good time to get one, since companies will likely be looking to get rid of inventory.
What I'm looking for is a single room unit (around 5000 BTU) and energy star rated. Those are really the only requirements. I'm not sure if a classic shaped one would fit in my window, so I'd like to get one of those ones that looks like an ionizer with a hose that goes to the window.
I've seen some for $250 to $300 that were 7 or 8k BTU and not energy star rated.
I'm hoping that I can find one for under $200 since I only need 5k not 7 or 8 but I dont really know anything about AC units, so any help/ links/ etc would be appreciated
6 Answers answer
Err on the side of too many BTUs than not enough. We needed a temporary window a/c earlier this year after our 24 year old hvac died. We picked up a 12,500 BTU GE brand unit at Walmart for around $325 (including sales tax). Very similar to this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/General-Electric-12-000-BTU-Energy-Star-Window-Air-Conditioner-AEW12AQ/20449874 It worked extremely well cooling our small 14x15' bedroom with 11' peaked ceilings and the adjoining bath. We even managed to keep the family room at a livable temperature too. No drip pan to worry about and had several different energy saver options AND a remote control.
I'm in the process of looking for one myself and the in-window ones tend to be cheaper than the portable ones and fall in the $200 or so range. The portable ones are from $300 on up.
The thing with the portable ones is that no only do they have the hose to pump the exhaust/hot air to the outside but they usually have either a drip pan or another hose to funnel the condensed water collected.
I agree with lavkinga - better to get a little more than you need.
Portable units do not work nearly as well as window units and take up a lot of floor space. I've tried a few, they all sucked. Take some measurements and find one that fits your window. You will be better off.
Woot sold this one a little over a week ago. I set it up this weekend and it works very well.
If it happens to pop up in the upcoming woot-off, jump on it.
@lavikinga: I was looking at something like [this] (http://www.buy.com/prod/koldfront-7-000-btu-slim-design-portable-air-conditioner-white/231971861.html?listingid=220316350) but it's not energy star rated.
If the price is the same, then sure I'll get more BTU. Only reason I mentioned 5000 is because my landlord told me that it would be sufficient. Something portable with a hose is what I'd prefer, honestly, because it's less noticeable and a heck of a lot easier to fit in a window.
@lumpthar: that one looks good! I can't tell if it's energy star, but if it ever rolls around again, I'll definitely investigate further.
EDIT: apparently woot changed their formatting for links. Anyone want to fill me in on the right way?
Hmmm, looks like what you did was right. I can't begin to tell you what's wrong.
Maybe there is a space or something else out of place there somewhere.
EDIT: If you can't figure it out, click here and remember that it's just a happy accident.

Divorce and Teens
Q: My husband and I have decided to divorce and this is upsetting to our 17-year-old daughter. I tend to set the rules in the house, while my husband is more lenient. Since I seem to be the "bad guy," I'm sure she will chose to live with her dad. What can I do to improve our relationship before it's too late?
A: I'm sure that your teenage daughter has known for some time that you and your husband haven't been happy in your marriage. You describe yourself as the parent who has set the rules and disciplines your daughter when she breaks these rules. At 17, your daughter may choose to live with the parent she believes will let her "get away" with misbehavior. It would be unfortunate if your daughter chose to live with your husband solely because of this...but she may do just that.
I'm sure that your relationship with your daughter is based on far more than your being the "bad guy" and her testing your limits. I hope that, throughout her childhood, you have developed a relationship based on unconditional love, trust, appreciation, and mutual respect. If that's the case, your current relationship will continue to grow, regardless of which parent she lives with until she graduates high school.
Given the strain within your family, I think that it might be useful for you and your daughter to see a counselor together and to focus on your desire to maintain a loving relationship with her. It's very important that she know that she's a priority in your life. Working with a family counselor as a family -- you, your daughter, and your husband -- would be a sensible use of counseling at this pivotal time in your family life.
Your daughter is fortunate to have had a parent who knew that limits and rules needed to be set. You did not treat parenting as a popularity contest with your child. Kids tell me all the time in therapy that they were grateful that their parents cared enough to set limits and to have family rules. They never told their parents, but they were made to feel more secure as a result of that concern for their safety.

Color Atlas of Acupuncture (9783131252227)
Publisher: Thieme
Binding: Paperback
by Hans-Ulrich Hecker, Angelika Steveling, Elmar Peuker, Jörg Kastner and Kay Liebchen
This is the book professionals have been asking for! For the first time, a single pocket atlas covers all the major body and ear acupuncture points, as well as an extensive coverage of trigger points. Detailed descriptions of the localization, needling depth, indications, and functions of each point are provided. The different schools of ear acupuncture (e.g., Chinese vs. Nogier), often a source of confusion for many practitioners, are presented side-by-side, enhancing this book's usefulness as a daily reference guide. This second edition includes an updated and expanded section on trigger points with 50 additional full-color images. The authors come from diverse specialties, giving you the most complete and accurate information available.

I have recently analysed my website with pagespeed addon on firebug. It suggested me to set expiration on CSS, JS and image files.
I am wondering how do i do this?
I have recently analysed my website with pagespeed addon on firebug. It suggested me to set expiration on CSS, JS and image files.
I am wondering how do i do this?
Update your Apache configuration to include the directives below as part of your core configuration:
You can put this in your htaccess:
It will target files with those extensions (ico, flv, jpg and so on) and set the Expires header to be access time (A) plus 30 days (2592000 seconds). You can also add this at the server level if you have access to that.
Once implemented, you can check the file headers using this online tool.
It depend from the host and the way you server these things. Option 1) if you control the server make the apache to add expiration headers in the response Option 2) if you do not control the web server, or you server the images/js/css/etc you can set these headers from the script that server them
Have in mind that these hints are recommendable but not absolute truth. They are more to save you a bandwidth than to speed up your website . So if you have a low traffic to your site do not worry too much about this.
Setting up expires in Lightspeed Web Server
Login to Admin Console then >Server->General->Expires Settings->Expires By Type
Add the following:
604800 is the seconds of the expire, which should be suitable for your needs since its 168 hours which is 7 days. Additionally Light Speed Server does use a htaccess which you need to add the following line:
Alternatively if you do not have admin console access try the following the .htaccess file:

Ryan Braun Suspended for Rest of Season
Major League Baseball has suspended Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun for the rest of the 2013 season for multiple violations of its drug program, the league announced Monday. After repeatedly denying that he used performance-enhancing drugs in the past, Braun declined to appeal what amounts to a 65-game suspension without pay.
"As I have acknowledged in the past, I am not perfect," Braun said in a statement released by MLB. "I realize now that I have made some mistakes. I am willing to accept the consequences of those actions."
Braun, a former National League MVP, was previously suspended for 50 games after testing positive for an elevated testosterone level in late 2011, but an independent arbitrator overturned it based on a chain-of-custody issue with his urine sample. Earlier this year, he was linked to Biogenesis, the now-closed Miami antiaging clinic at the center of MLB's continuing PED investigation.
At the time, Braun said his attorneys used the man who ran the clinic, Anthony Bosch, as a consultant during his appeal of the 2011 suspension. But he said that was the extent of their relationship.
"I wish to apologize to anyone I may have disappointed—all of the baseball fans especially those in Milwaukee, the great Brewers organization, and my teammates," Braun said. "I am glad to have this matter behind me once and for all, and I cannot wait to get back to the game I love."
The suspension comes as part of a monthslong MLB investigation into Biogenesis, which Bosch has cooperated with. Neither MLB nor Braun specified the nature of the violations or what kind of evidence MLB gathered as the basis for the suspension.
"We commend Ryan Braun for taking responsibility for his past actions," said Rob Manfred, MLB's executive vice president for economics and league affairs. "We all agree that it is in the best interests of the game to resolve this matter."
Michael Weiner, the head of the players' union, also commended Braun for accepting the suspension, which will cost him an estimated $3.4 million in salary.
"I am deeply gratified to see Ryan taking this bold step," Weiner said. "It vindicates the rights of all players under the Joint Drug Program."
Braun's public apology marks a stark change from his repeated denials of banned drug use dating to his positive test, which came during the 2011 playoffs. Braun was named MVP after that season, in which he hit .332 with 33 home runs and 111 RBI.
When the test result became public, Braun blamed the test collector, a Wisconsin man named Dino Laurenzi Jr., for temporarily storing the sample at his home, rather than immediately sending it to a lab. Arbitrator Shyam Das sided with Braun, which drew a scathing rebuke from MLB. The league fired Das a few months after his ruling.
During a news conference following the successful appeal of his suspension, Braun called MLB's drug testing program "fatally flawed." He told reporters that day, "I am a victim of a process that completely broke down and failed the way it was applied to me in this case. As players, we're held to a standard of 100% perfection regarding the program, and everybody else associated with that program should be held to the same standard."
Braun is the first player to be suspended in this investigation. New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez is among the most prominent players being investigated by MLB. Rodriguez, who has admitted using steroids earlier in his career, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing or having any relationship with Bosch.
Under the drug agreement between MLB and the union, there are set suspension lengths for positive tests: 50 games for a first offense, 100 games for a second offense and a lifetime ban for a third offense. However, because the Biogenesis investigation is based on other evidence, MLB has more leeway to determine the lengths of each player's suspension.
That also gives MLB the flexibility to pursue the equivalent of plea agreements, in which players agree to accept suspensions of a negotiated length and admit some wrongdoing. That appears to be what Braun did Monday.
"This situation has taken a toll on me and my entire family, and it is has been a distraction to my teammates and the Brewers organization," he said.

While most "man caves" consist of poker tables, big-screen TVs and refrigerators full of beer, Danny Ruckriegel's cave, located in the basement of his home, holds much more significance than that. A fourth-generation firefighter for the Jeffersontown Fire Department, Ruckriegel's cave is a dedication to his friends, family members, and the 27 years he spent in the department.
"[The basement] takes me back to when I was on my A-game. You think about people when they have a fire, that's the worst day of their life, but that was the best day of my life because that's what I was trained to do," Ruckriegel explained.
While touring his quarters one can see an array of fire-fighting items, a replica of the back of a fire engine, and doors that are fashioned to look like the front of a fire station. Ruckriegel's handywork is apparent everywhere, as he details the hours of hard work put into his cave.
Currently retired from the fire department, Ruckriegel spends most of his time as an electrician. But on his days off, he can often be found in what he calls his "Zen room." Referring to his days in the fire service as a "brotherhood," Ruckriegel's basement is embellished with old photos, fire engine mementos, and even an old fire alarm system from the 1800s.
Painted in red and black, Ruckriegel's tribute to the 24 immediate family members who served as part of the fire department alongside him, has taken nearly a year and a half to complete. He is able to turn to his man cave as a way to remember, and his basement serves as a time machine, taking him back to his prime and to what he frequently calls "the good old days."
Ruckriegel's man cave also holds homage to those he knew who passed away on Sept. 11. With each piece of memorabilia comes a story. Whether it's a history lesson or a personal narration, Ruckriegel's love for this space is evident in the enthusiasm he exhibits while explaining the objects within.
And although his basement far outshines the average man cave, in at least one way Ruckriegel's manly space serves a purpose similar to that of more ordinary guys' retreats. When asked if his wife has any "cave" of her own, Danny coolly responded, "My wife doesn't need a cave of her own. She's got the whole house."

Sledgehammer and anvil are one.Posted Wednesday, January 4, 2012, at 5:46 PM
Starting at age 11 in my dad's blacksmith shop at Amherst, Texas, my chief responsibilities over the years became painting farm implements and trailers, grinding plowpoints and mouldboards on emery rocks driven by a big electric motor and using eight- and ten-pound sledgehammers to bend thick steel heated by torches or the forge. The drill press helped to develop an understanding of machines, but the hammers were most gratifying, requiring practice for the requisite precision.
Swinging a sledge while avoiding breaking the handle or injuring others necessitates setting and keeping your feet in the right spots, holding the end of the handle with your left hand and sliding your right hand down to your left as the hammer falls, increasing force with the call of "hard" and lightening at "light" or "medium."
Sledgehammer and anvil are thereby one: on the one hand the redoubtable instrument with which anything can be bent or broken with enough well-guided blows and on the other its ringing antiphon -- the only thing in the world a sledgehammer cannot bust.

That is interesting. I remember the days when I was growing up on the farm. We did alot of fencing, either repairing or creating new fence. We had to learn to use the sledgehammer to drive the posts in. I must say, we broke alot of handles. Dad was not pleased but he didn't offer any advice. Aw well, we can learn alot by watching others or asking.

Today Bus G took the ferry from Vancouver to Victoria. The group enjoyed looking out over the water on the ride. The group's first stop in Victoria was Miniature World, a museum filled with miniature dioramas of famous events and storybook scenes. Next, Bus G went to the Pacific Undersea Gardens where they saw all sorts of marine life from the Pacific Northwest. Finally, the group's last stop in the city was Craigdarroch Castle where they toured this amazing building. The group then took the ferry back to Vancouver and had dinner on the ride.

Incorrect sizing of collapsed child panel when external panels are collapsed
Ext version tested:
- Ext 4.0.1 rev
- It appears that child panels, when collapsed, lose the ability to resize properly given a collapse event of a panel outside the parent's control. The parent will resize but when the child panel is collapsed it will ignore any calls for it to resize. This makes the header appear either too short or too long for a particular view. The child panels never return the to proper size, meaning they are always either too long or short regardless of collapse or uncollapse status.
- Collapse one or both of the Top child panels in the center panel
- Collapse the East panel
- Notice the big gap between the eastern edge of the top panels and the eastern edge of the screen. The converse can be proven as well
- Collapse the East panel
- Collapse the top panels
- Uncollapse the East panel You will see that when the East panel is uncollapsed the headers for the Top panels are too long.
- The headers expand or shrink accordingly as the accordion event of an outside panel is triggered
- The collapsed panel's width does not match that of its parent panel
Ext.require(['*']); Ext.onReady(function() { var cw; Ext.create('Ext.Viewport', { layout: { type: 'border', padding: 5 }, defaults: { split: true }, items: [{ region: 'center', layout: 'border', border: false, items: [{ region: 'center', html: 'center center', title: 'Center', dockedItems: [{ dock: 'top', items: [{ collapsible: true, title: 'Top 1', split: true, html: 'Collapse me and collapse the East panel to see my issue' },{ collapsible: true, title: 'Top 2', split: true, html: 'Collapse me and collapse the East panel to see my issue' }] }] }] },{ region: 'east', collapsible: true, floatable: true, split: true, width: 200, title: 'East', layout: { type: 'vbox', padding: 5, align: 'stretch' } }] }); });

Jim Waters, with the Bluegrass Institute, says he's concerned that parents aren't able to choose the school their children attend and take the funding with them. He says: "We became concerned because some parents were being denied school choice in some communities where they'd had it before."
The Bluegrass Institute is proposing new legislation to allow parents to choose where their kids go to school and to be able to take state funding with them. Waters says: "We think that would provide a better education for a student who does want to transfer to a different school, and it would motivate poorer performing schools to make changes and to improve their education and results."
Educators say under this proposal, school districts would live in uncertainty not knowing how much funding they would have, and it would be difficult to make plans for the future.
Joe Tinius, with Bowling Green City Schools, says : "In the way of dollars how do you make plans to build new schools, or close schools if parents have the opportunity to come or go anytime."
Tinius says each student in the state currently gets around $3,800 in funding, and the schools need that money to buy supplies and equipment to help the children succeed. He says : "You have to have certain things which require funds, in order to do that."
However, those with the institute say under their proposal losing money is a fact schools will have to accept if they perform poorly.
Those with the Bowling Green School District say under the No Child Left Behind law that's already in place, if schools don't perform to the state's standards for two consecutive years, parents already have the option of transferring their students.

Are air ionizers and other air purifiers effective at cleaning the air? Is there any evidence that such machines lead to improved health or wellbeing?
closed as off topic by Vebjorn Ljosa May 21 '12 at 15:21
Questions on Home Improvement Stack Exchange are expected to relate to home improvement within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Before I bought an air purifier a few years back, I found a Consumer Reports test of such machines, including several filter-based models and at least one ionizer. The ionizer received a failing grade. According to Wikipedia, the manufacturer subsequently sued Consumer Reports for product defamation and lost. I don't have the Consumer Reports article anymore, but if I remember correctly, the only effective air purifiers were filter-based. Only a few models had much effect, and only when the fan was run at the highest (and loudest) speed.
We have had a filter-based air purifier (made by Sears) for about three years. It cost about $300, and the annual filter cost is about $150. It is effective in the sense that the filter does get dirty, but my (subjective) impression is that its cleaning effect is small compared to regular vacuum cleaning and dusting. We haven't noticed any health improvements—but we didn't have dust allergies or other dust-related health problems either.
Apparently there have been studies into high levels of negative ions as a treatment for seasonal-affective disorder. I have not read the papers or otherwise evaluated the research, and I don't know if commercially available air purifiers produce anions at the levels that are claimed to be clinically relevant.
My ionizer probably did clean the air -- the walls near it were starting to turn gray with all the fine dust particles settling down. However, I didn't notice any change in my wellbeing. I heard somewhere that someone even sued one of the companies that sell these ionizers for false claims that use of ionizers improves health.

I already own a Country Living Grain Mill for making flour and want to start crushing my own grain for my homebrew. Will this style of mill work for homebrew or should I buy a mill specially for homebrew?
Are you able to adjust the mill, so that it can mill more coarsely than you would want for flour? If so, I think you should be all set.
When brewing all grain, you want a pretty coarse grind; you essentially just want to crack the kernels open, rather than pulverize them. This leaves the husks in tact, and they serve as a filter bed during the sparge process. If you grind too finely, you can end up with a stuck sparge, where the wort doesn't flow through the grain.
Imagine if you filled a colander with flour, and then tried to pour water through it. Likely, very little water, if any, would make it through. That is the situation you are trying to avoid.
I am planning on buying a Country Living Mill, and I am both baking and brewing. I was researching if the mill could be used for crushing malt as well. A lot of people have been asking this question, but I've only found one person actually having tried it. According to him it crushes the malt nicely and leaves the husks. Here is the link: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f36/barley-crusher-what-mill-should-i-buy-65298/#post671124 I also found a video where a guy demonstrates the grain mill and he shows a sample of cracked wheat he made on the coarse setting. You can skip to about 5:15 if you want to see the cracked wheat. The movie is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIwPlj0ooEs
A grain mill that is appropriate for crushing barley for a mash is typically referred to as a grist mill. The mill needs to be set 'open' enough that the husk of the barley seed will crack open, but will not be torn apart. This is due to the need to use the husks as the filtration media during the sparge. A typical grist mill can be opened to a gap of at least 0.070". See this mill at Northern Brewer for a typical example.

Until recently I've been using Custom Contact Forms to create some more advanced forms. The sole reason I've chosen this plugin was the ability to create my own layouts and basically just code clean HTML with CCF taking care of the rest.
However, recently I came across this topic and realized how vulnerable the plugin might actually be. Therefore, my question is: is there any other safe Forms plugin that allows me to create my own HTML-based - not UI-based - forms? I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
Edit: Since I don't want to expose the vulnerability (however obvious it is), a temporary solution is to hard-code the recipient e-mail in the plugin code itself. If anybody would like to do that find and edit:
/wp-contents/plugins/custom-contact-forms/custom-contact-forms-front.php line 427 and replace
$dest_email_array = $this->getDestinationEmailArray($_POST['destination_email']);
$dest_email_array = $this->getDestinationEmailArray('email@example.com');
Other solutions I can think of, if you really are stuck with the plugin and have to use different e-mail recipients, is to use Advanced Custom Fields Plugin, to create page-dependent recipients, however, it's not a place to describe the quite lengthy process of doing so.

Parkinson's disease causes certain brain cells to die. They are the cells that help control movement and coordination. The disease leads to shaking (tremors) and trouble walking and moving.
Paralysis agitans; Shaking palsy
Nerve cells use a brain chemical called dopamine to help control muscle movement. With Parkinson's disease, the brains cells that make dopamine slowly die. Without dopamine, the cells that control movement can't send messages to the muscles. This makes it hard to control your muscles. Slowly over time, this damage gets worse. No one knows what causes these brain cells to waste away.
Parkinson's disease most often develops after age 50. It is one of the most common nervous system problems in older adults.
Symptoms may be mild at first. For instance, you may have a mild tremor or a slight feeling that one leg is stiff and dragging. Symptoms may affect one or both sides of the body.
General symptoms may include:
Movement problems may include:
Symptoms of shaking (tremors):
Other symptoms may include:
Your health care provider may be able to diagnose Parkinson's disease based on your symptoms and a physical exam. But the symptoms can be hard to pin down, particularly in older adults. Symptoms are easier to recognize as the illness gets worse.
The examination may show:
Your doctor may do some tests to rule out other conditions that can cause similar symptoms.
There is no cure for Parkinson's disease. However, treatment can help control your symptoms.
Your health care provider will prescribe medicines to help control your shaking and movement symptoms. These drugs work by increasing dopamine in your brain.
At certain times during the day, the medicine often wears off and symptoms can return. If this happens, your health care provider may need to change the:
You may also need to take medicines to help with:
Parkinson's medicines can cause severe side effects. They may include:
Tell your doctor right away if you have these side effects. Never change or stop taking any medicines without talking with your doctor. Work with your doctors and other providers to find a treatment plan that works for you.
As the disease gets worse, symptoms such as stooped posture, frozen movements, and speech problems may not respond to the medicines.
Surgery may be an option for some people. Surgery does not cure Parkinson's disease, but may help ease symptoms. Types of surgery include:
Certain lifestyle changes may help you cope with Parkinson's disease:
Parkinson's disease support groups can help you cope with the changes caused by the disease.
Medicines can help most people with Parkinson's disease. How well medicines relieve symptoms and for how long can be different in each person.
If not treated, the disorder gets worse until a person is totally disabled. Parkinson's disease may lead to a deterioration of all brain functions and an early death.
Call your health care provider if:
If you take medicines for Parkinson's disease, tell your health care provider about any side effects, which may include:
Also call your health care provider if the condition gets worse and home care is no longer possible.

I do the parenthesis, and get: $$ \frac{3}{7}-\frac{x-1}{2}-2+x=\frac{3x-4}{14} $$ Then I multiply everything by $14$, divide the fractions and have $6-7x-28+14x=3x-4$. Add up this and $7x-29=3x-4$. I end up with $4x=25$. Which doesn't make sense, since $x$ should equal $11/4$.
I've been going through the steps myself so long I think I'm going blind for my own mistake.

This is just a little plea for me, but if it's absolutely necessary I understand, but can we push the Christmas deals back a little closer to Thanksgiving than now? I like to try and be Thankful throughout November up until Thanksgiving to kick into Christmas mode. I understand that everybody is pushing sooner and sooner to get Christmas deals and everything out, but at some point we're missing out on a whole lot on Thanksgiving.
@spacemonkey6401: I heard Christmas music in a grocery store yesterday...
@spacemonkey6401: The deals, adds, and music you're seeing and hearing in the stores are actually for Christmas 2013. We've moved things up so far that they are actually more than a year in advance now. Next year's black Friday will be on January 4th.

Does anyone know what the regular price is?
@andybs22: Whatever it is, if the price works out to more than about $0.40/serving, I pass. I can get K-cups at Costco for about that price.
@cerote, do they carry starbucks there? And is that .40 a piece a new price point? I thought in the past .50$ was the cheapest you could get them at costco/BJs.
I find that the starbucks kcups are usually about a dollar more expensive than the regular brands like green mountain. Recently saw the starbucks ones on sale at walmart and bought some, and they do taste better than those cheaper lines.
Everybody has their preferences and prejudices, however 99.9% of the k-cup world would buy Starbucks at 41¢, 45¢, 50¢, 55¢, etc per serving. This could end up not a great deal, but it is 100% worth getting to the store Thurs and checking out the details!
Thanks for posting it!
I was in SB over the weekend and I'm pretty sure they charge 12.95 for a 12 pack of k-cups. So 12.95 for 24 would be about .55 a cup. If they have larger sizes (like the 18's) this might bring it down, but I didn't see them locally anyway.
The lowest price on the cheapest k-cup brand at Costco/Sam's Club (in my area--Southeast US) is $0.40/cup. But, the lowest price on bulk-pack Starbucks brand k-cups at Costco/Sam's Club was around $0.65 last time I checked.
This deal applies to the 12-pack, which costs around $12. So, with the promo, you get 24 cups for $0.50 each. There are cheaper k-cups (see above or off-brands on Amazon.com for about $0.40/cup), but if you are stuck on Starbucks brand, this is a good deal. Plus, you don't have to buy in bulk, meaning you can try different blends without the risk of getting stuck with a 2-month supply of a blend you don't care for.
Of course, this promo is a lead to get you into the store (note that this promo is not valid at Starbucks's online store) in hopes you buy a $6+ latte along with the k-cups... at which point your total spending would offset the savings entirely.
In order to compare brands "apple to apple" look at the small print on the side of the box that lists the Net Weight. You will find that there is considerably less coffee in the "cheaper" k-cups. When you consider how much actual coffee you're getting, the Starbucks k-cups are quite in line with all of the others price-wise.
@quadconpana: The net weight isn't really relevant here. It's not like coffee grounds where you're going to get more use out of more grounds. A single cup gets you a single serving, no matter how much coffee they pack in there. The best you'll get is a stronger cup.
it just depends on your preference and how much you want a particular brand of coffee. i'm pretty close to naming my unborn child verona because i like the coffee so much, so i'll hit up this deal. (i was mostly joking.) otherwise, if you register your keurig brewer online you get great deals through their website, and i'll keep buying the green mountain dark magic blend.
just got a keurig as a wedding gift, i love it!
In Oregon I can get Tully's at our costco for $0.40 a cup the starbucks is in the $0.55 range (as I recall). I think Tully's is as good if not better than Starbucks. I can't figure out why they are so expensive. I did hear Starbicks is releasing there own Keurig like machine soon. They will probably make the cost on those packs lower to attract people to their machine.
thats their own not there
i dont see the point in worrying about .55 vs .40 or whatever. you use keurig's for convenience, not savings considering the brewers cost 4x more than a decent coffee maker
Is the price of these going down now that Keurig's patent is expiring?
Went on their web site and their K-Cups are listed at $19.99 for 24 cups. Still not bad for buy-one-get-one-free. Maybe it's just me, but I prefer Dunkin over SB. I buy the coffee I like and then just reuse the cups. Just have to buy the lids....
Using one of these and decent ground coffee, you can lower your cost to 18 cents/cup. http://www.amazon.com/Keurig-K-Cup-Reusable-Coffee-Filter/dp/B000DLB2FI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348712183&sr=8-1&keywords=keurig+adaptor
@dommonte: you've been 'demoted'
@synergynt: I disagree. Our K machine has 3 cup size settings, Sm, Med and Large and when you use Large you can tell its more watered down than the Med setting using the same cup. So a Large with a higher weight will produce a stronger brew than a large with a lower weight.
I've been buying the San Fransisco Bay K-cups through Amazon. I get free 2 day shipping every two months. The price comes out to $31.35 for 80 k-cups if you sign up for auto-ordering. Cheapest I have found and the coffee is pretty good. http://www.amazon.com/San-Francisco-Bay-Coffee-36-Count/dp/B006IOKA84/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348720435&sr=8-1&keywords=san+francisco+bay+k-cups
Stopped by my local Starbucks on the way to work. They had their K-Cups priced at $11.95 for 12. I bought three, got three free. Total before tax: $35.85 for 72 K-Cups. I was looking out the rear view mirror for cops as I drove off with my stolen loot.
@casper42: It seems we don't actually disagree at all...
synergynt: The best you'll get is a stronger cup.
@j647: These come (or did) with some models of Keurig brewers. You have to make sure you get a good seal on the screw cap. I had one that leaked everywhere. I honestly find it to be too much of a hassle with the cleanup. I use my Keurig for the convenience as well as not wasting coffee. Using the My K-Cup takes away the convenience for me. YMMV
Well I tried all around the Nashville, TN area and they all said that promotion is no good here.
Starbucks @ 35th & State in Chicago charge $9.95 for a box of 12. Woot!

I am looking for an online personal finance management solution.
Crucial requirement is that it have to support import of transactions and account form QIF aor alike, since I have few years worth of transactions and accounts in a QIF file and want to keep it all.
My findings so far:
The all-too-much-hyped mint.com doesn't do that and it's not clear whether it's going to be implemented at all.
Moneystrands.com have only support for import per account, but not import for the whole QIF containing all the accounts and transactions.
xero.com seems to have import of QIF per account (i.e. you'd have to split your single QIF file with all the accounts somehow), yet it failed with an error message about date format when I tried to import a file.

Cruising For The CupWritten by on September 8, 2005 Contributors: Johnny Hunkins Form Meets Function in Scott Whidby's fine '69 Camaro
It's no secret that the Peach State (Georgia) has long been a hotbed of automotive entertainment. Favorable weather has something to do with it for sure, but we'd guess the main reason is location, location, location. It's proximity to the Sunshine State of Florida puts Georgia close to a lot of winter racing action, so there're always options for die-hard gearheads. Scott Whidby is no exception. By day, he's an assistant body shop manager in Moultrie, Georgia, but his primary job is being the husband of Saundra and dad to Elyssa, Emily, and Elli. And like all devoted family men, he's quick to thank his wife and kids for exercising patience during the buildup of his fine '69 Camaro.
You may be asking why we feature so many '69 Camaros, but the answer is simple. Besides the Hemi 'Cuda, the '69 Camaro (any '69 Camaro) is arguably the most sought-after production vehicle on the face of the earth. Most of us can only wish that General Motors would reintroduce this creation, just like FoMoCo did with its cloned '67 Mustang. Until that happens, those of us who remain "'69 Camaro-less" can at least hold onto that dream, even if it is a long shot. Cool cars are Scott's hobby, and he likes rebuilding them his way. Whidby commented, "I like building cars the way I want to build them. If this were a business instead of a hobby, I'd have to build them the way the customer wanted, and to me, that takes the enjoyment out of it." He's done several projects over the years and really enjoys showing them against his peers.
This one's been in Scott's possession for about a year now, and the rebuild took about nine months to complete. It began as an Internet surfing expedition that connected Scott to its previous owner in Colorado. Going by phone and photos only, Scott told us it was represented as needing patch panels. Once the transporter dropped it off, reality set in. Actually, the fenders, doors, and frontend were good, but it needed an interior floor pan, quarter panels, and a trunk floor to make it right again. Whidby said, "It was not what I had hoped for." Scott's buddy Nick took care of the sheetmetal work, welding in all the new panels that came from D&D. They started with the floors and quarter panels, finished the disassembly process, bolted the car to a rotisserie, and continued with the sandblasting and prep work. Being in the body shop trade, Scott received help with his paint and materials from C&D Paint Supplies in Albany, Georgia, and finished it off with a base/clear urethane red mixing tint from Utec. However, he did mention something about a lot of block sanding.
During all the prep, it wasn't totally stock replacement work, as the firewall and cowl were smoothed, wipers were removed, bumpers were smoothed, and mini tubs were done in the rear. Besides "Welder Nick," additional help came from Bob Harrell, Doug Corley, Rocky Weldon, John Boring, and Gerald Copeland. All along, the intention was to create a car that would hold its own at Year One events, the Goodguys Nationals in Columbus, and the Power Tour. During the rebuild, the chassis was fitted with 2-inch drop spindles from Superior, QA1 adjustable front shocks, a 9-inch rear from Currie Enterprises, 3-inch rear lowering springs from Detroit Speed & Engineering, and rear shocks from Air Ride Technologies. All four corners feature Wilwood disc brakes, Intro wheels (18x7 and 20x10), and Continental tires, with 225/40R18s up front and 275/35R20s out back.
Now for the power part. Back in this car's heyday, big-block Camaros were not very prevalent. The really serious car guys ordered theirs from Baldwin Motion Supercars, located in Long Island, New York. Those who were less serious (in relation to one's wallet size) had to get creative by swapping in boneyard 427s from wrecked Corvettes. Well, Scott figured this one needed a 427 to give it both attention and grunt. And for those of you who have driven a 427-powered musclecar, you know full well that after the first all-out mashing of the accelerator, there's no other feeling. 'Nuff said. Moultrie, Georgia's Bob Harrell assembled the mighty 427 after a .030-inch overbore and assorted machining prep was performed by Kent Jordan of Knico Engines, which operates in Moultrie, as well. A steel GM crank and rods were used, along with TRW pistons, moly rings, a camshaft from COMP, Edelbrock aluminum heads, Crane roller rockers, a Team G manifold, a Mighty Demon carb from Barry Grant, and an MSD ignition. The block and manifold were smoothed and painted, and a trick air-cleaner housing was fabricated by Neal Lei of Rods & Restos in Centre, Alabama.
Additional bolt-ons include a Spal electric fan, a March serpentine pulley and bracket kit, an Edelbrock aluminum water pump, and valve covers from GM Performance Parts painted to match. In typical musclecar fashion, Scott's big-block Chevy is backed by a Centerforce clutch, a Muncie M21 four-speed, and a Hurst shifter. Flowtech headers are bolted to a 3-inch exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers.
Next, Scott's Camaro had to have a stunning interior, so it went to "It's Not Paint," located in Huntsville, Alabama. That's where it received a lot of glove-soft black leather covering the Pontiac Fiero bucket seats (minus the headrests), the door panels, and the rear seat. And for a little bit of extra flair, the headliner was crafted with suede. How cool is that? The dash holds a full complement of Auto Meter gauges, while the slick leather-covered center console houses a Lokar emergency brake assembly and the aforementioned Hurst shifter. Whidby decided against installing one of those power-robbing climate control systems since they clutter the engine compartment. However, he may change his mind while cruising this bad Rat on the Power Tour. Instead of cool air, he opted for cool tunes. His thundering sound system includes a Sony head unit, a 700.5 Kicker amp, with JL Audio 5 1/4 tweeters and 6x9s. Let's hope it doesn't completely drown out the sound of that sweet big-block.
Believe it or not, Scott never even fired the car before loading it on a trailer and heading for the Year One Experience this past April. In operation since 2001, this motoring extravaganza is held at both Road Atlanta and Atlanta Dragway, featuring a huge car show, autocross, a 0-60-0 Challenge, Road Atlanta Track Day, and a lot of quarter-mile action at Atlanta Dragway. The car-show portion features the prestigious Year One Cup, which is selected by a group of automotive journalists, industry people, past Cup winners, and select VIPs. Please note: Year One employees and officers are not eligible for Cup voting. Once the panel of judges narrows the field down, its "Top 3" car owners take part in the Finalist Ceremony. Scott Whidby was the last dog standing and received a beautiful Italian lead crystal cup, a $5,000 gift certificate from Year One, and an amenities package that includes travel assistance to several major shows throughout the year.
Looking back on his big day, Scott told us, "I finished it the night before Year One's event and I hadn't even driven the car yet. The guy from Dream Car Garage drove it before I did!" Of course, he's speaking of Tom Gnatiw, the guy who co-hosts the show. Whidby was extremely honored to be selected, and also mentioned how he just finished another one--a black '69 with Air Ride all around that sits 2.5 inches lower than this one. He hopes it will be well received at the Goodguys Nationals in Columbus. And looking back on some of the cars he's sweat over, polished, and sold, Scott said, "My wife isn't always happy with all the time I spend out of the house when I'm putting them together, but she sure likes the end result when I sell"one." Obviously, the '69 Camaro is Whidby's favorite car, and that allows him to rebuild them with the right accessories, the right attitude and a high degree of detail.

or email today
Selecting the right breeder can be the most important step you will take. Good breeders are most likely to be members of the NCA. While we cannot select a specific breeder for you, the Newfoundland Club of America (NCA) has some suggestions to help you.
The Newfoundland Club of America and most of the regional clubs provide referrals to Newfoundland breeders, usually through a Breeders List that is available on their websites. This is an excellent way to find a breeder. Some breeders encourage prospective puppy buyers to visit their dogs, even if they have no puppies available at the time. Often they can refer you to other breeders, who may have puppies or a litter due.
Another excellent way to meet breeders is at a dog show. To find out when and where a show will be held in your area, check with the regional Newfoundland club in your area, refer to the American Kennel Club website, or do an internet search for "dog show superintendents." When you find a conveniently located show, check the appropriate website about a week before the show to learn the time Newfs will be shown and how many are entered. At the show, talk to the exhibitors—after the judging of Newfs is finished— and ask lots of questions.
The Newfoundland Club of America considers the following tests as necessary for all Newfoundlands: Hips
(x-ray), Elbows (x-ray),
Cystinuria (DNA or parentage)
Hearts (cardiologist).
Please be sure and discuss the status of these tests with your responsible breeder. Additional tests include:
CERF (eyes)
Thyroid (blood tests) and
DNA Banking is also strongly encouraged.
Although not all exhibitors will be breeders, most of them will be glad to tell you about their dogs and the dogs' breeders. When you watch the dogs being judged, you will notice that not all Newfs are identical in either appearance or personality, and you will probably prefer "the look" of some better than others.
While searching for a breeder, do not be taken in by fancy websites or ads. Beware of a breeder who has not done health checks on the sire and dam. (These records can be seen at offa.org.) Also beware of purchasing a puppy, sight unseen, over the Internet. A reputable breeder will want to establish a relationship with you before placing one of his puppies in your care. A responsible breeder will not sell a puppy to just anyone with a credit card as though the buyer were purchasing some inanimate object. Reputable breeders have a life-long interest in the dogs they produce. Also beware of a breeder who promises more or less than others, or whose price quotations are much higher or lower than others. Remember, however, that Newfoundland puppies can vary in cost depending on age and potential quality.
Visit other Regional Newf Events- Draft Tests and Water Tests are excellent places to see adult Newfoundlands in action and to meet people in your area that are active in the breed.
Check out the NCA Calendar to find Regional Club events near you

I bought it, $50 instant rebate and $30 mail in rebate, pretty good deal. I don't like waiting on mail-in rebates but $109.99 is a great price for a SATA 3 120GB drive.
Sold out :(
Fudge... I wanted to debate for an hour to get it or not, and then came back and it was gone. I suck.

Five people were taken to the hospital following a collision Saturday on U.S. 24-40 in Tonganoxie, according to a report from the Kansas Highway Patrol.
The accident was reported at 2:32 p.m. west of Northstar Drive.
A 62-year-old Tonganoxie man was driving east on U.S. 24-40 in a 2001 Mercury sport utility vehicle. The vehicle crossed the center of the roadway and struck an eastbound 2003 Chevrolet van on the driver's side. This caused the van to go into a ditch and overturn, according to the report.
The van was from the Nickerson school district in Reno County.
The van's driver, a 39-year-old Hutchison woman, and four of her passengers, three 15-year-old boys and a 14-year-old girl, were taken to the hospital to be treated for injuries. Another passenger, a 17-year-old boy, had what was described as a possible injury but was not transported, according to the report.
All of the occupants of the van had been wearing seat belts.
The driver of the SUV also may have been injured, but he was not transported to the hospital. He also had been wearing a seat belt, according to the report.

According to the Wikipedia article on Spanish phonology, the phonemes /b/, /d/, and /g/ are realized as approximants or fricatives instead of plosives in all but certain contexts (after a pause, nasal consonant, or a lateral consonant followed by /d/). Where or when are they realized as approximants, and when as fricatives?

If you look at the reference on Wikipedia, you'll see that it's not a matter of sometimes they're fricatives and sometimes they're approximants, but rather it's that scholars seem to be in disagreement as to whether they are fricatives or approximants (altogether). In the past, they were called fricatives, but new analyses seem to indicate that they are actually approximants because of the lack of turbulence.
In any case, the spirantized versions [β, ð, ɣ] are realized intervocalically.

Lift trucks: Solving the financial puzzle
August 13, 2010 - LM Editorial
If an analyst told you that a market was in recovery, you'd probably think that was good news. Not so fast. If you were talking about the lift truck market you'd have to get beyond the complexity first. In fact, some business analysts see recovery being as problematic as the recession when it comes to lift trucks.
George Keen is one of those. Keen's a senior consultant with Currie Management Consultants, a Worcester, Mass.-based firm that specializes in distributor business enhancement strategies. Keen sees the lift truck market as a remarkably complex puzzle, as challenging to understand for sellers as it is for buyers.
The problem with lift trucks is that although they are mature products, they employ some of the most leading-edge technologies around—from computers and sensors to alternative power sources.
This leads to unpredictable buying patterns and competing approaches to selling. Depending on their needs, buyers may make their lift truck selection based on product innovation, price, total value, or total cost of ownership. Keen sees these as phases.

Game On!
The Party
Ligne Roset, the modern-chic furniture showroom in La Jolla, was transformed into its own boardwalk empire during a Monopoly-inspired cocktail party.
The Scene
Co-hosts Carlos Gutierrez, of Berkshire Hathaway, and Jeannete Lizarraga, of New American Funding, teamed up with Riviera magazine for the fun-filled evening. Guests sipped couture Snake Oil cocktails, including the Park Place with smashed strawberry rhubarb, and the B & O Railroad with rosemary reduction and pressed lemon. On this night, Gutierrez had his game face on for more reasons than one. Considering it was March Madness—and the San Diego State University Aztecs were competing in the Sweet 16—the former SDSU mascot was donning an Aztec shirt under his tux jacket.
The Highlights
When they weren't nibbling Cajun-dusted lamb lollipops courtesy of The Promiscuous Fork and Panache Productions, guests were looking to get rich while schmoozing along the way. Faux $100 bills doubled as raffle tickets with gift prizes to La Jolla faves including Roppongi, Herringbone and the Ascot Shop. The best part? No luxury tax. –Photography by Tim Hardy, shotbyhardy.com

Thanks for your suggestion, I've modified my example source here to also apply the tip fn to the data used in non-Ajax tooltips. Let me know if that's what you need. The extension code itself can be found at this url. Just for clarification though, the fn function will be applied before, not after the Ajax call. The reason I implemented it was to allow the function to create the correct request data for already existing Ajax services. In my example I've added an "afterFn" configuration property to the CellToolTip which can be used to post-process the Ajax return data in the same way.
5 Nov 2010 5:27 AM #22
Exactly what I was need. Thanks
5 Nov 2010 11:28 AM #23
And one more question: what is the purpose of overriding trackMouse: true in tooltip config, ignoring if tipConfig in plugin instance has different value?
9 Nov 2010 11:24 PM #24
Thanks BitPoet! Awesome plugin. Now to figure out how to get it to play nice with Saki's RowActions
edit: There is a minor bug in this plugin where none of the tipConfig options will get applied if you pass an array of objects when creating the cell tooltips. Here is a fix:
init: function(grid) { if( ! this.ajaxTips ) { return; } this.tipTpls = {}; this.tipFns = {}; this.tipAfterFns = {}; this.tipUrls = {}; // Generate tooltip templates Ext.each( this.ajaxTips, function(tip) { this.tipTpls[tip.field] = new Ext.XTemplate( tip.tpl ); console.log('logging tip', tip); if( tip.url ) { this.tipUrls[tip.field] = tip.url; } if( tip.fn ) this.tipFns[tip.field] = tip.fn; if( tip.afterFn ) this.tipAfterFns[tip.field] = tip.afterFn; if (tip.tipConfig) this.tipConfig = tip.tipConfig; }, this); // delete now superfluous config entry for ajaxTips delete( this.ajaxTips ); grid.on( 'render', this.onGridRender.createDelegate(this) ); } // End of function init

Thankx jstrx, don't know how I didn't notice this before. The online version is fixed now. Let me know in case there are any issues together with the RowActions plugin.

The current online version now uses applyIf instead of apply for the trackMouse property, so it can be overridden in the tipConfig.

Noticed when I add anchor to tipConfig it causes a double ajax POST, but also anchors the tooltip to the left side right where I want it. weird
tipConfig = { dismissDelay: 0, hideDelay: 0, trackMouse: false, anchor: 'left' // this is causing a double POST, but it also keeps the tooltip on the screen }

Does anyone still have the code for this plugin? I can't find it on the Sencha site.
Thank you.Matt Bittner

Extinction is the complete demise
of a species. It takes place when all individuals of a species die
out. Extinction has occurred throughout the history of life on Earth.
It is the ultimate fate of all species. In fact, it has been estimated
that 99.9% of all species that have ever lived on Earth are now
extinct. The causes of extinction are many and highly variable.
They vary from environmental changes brought about by events such
as floods, volcanic eruptions, or meteorite impacts, to fluctuations
in sea level or climate, to competition between species. In the
past 25,000 years humans have become a significant additional cause
of extinction for many species.
Species are constantly going extinct,
often for reasons that are not particularly obvious, and at other
times for reasons that are peculiar to the species in question.
The processes that lead to this pattern of constant background extinction
occur continuously, so that at any given time, while some species
are going extinct, others are making their appearance for the first
time. Over time, this process of continual turnover produces great
changes in the species composition of the Earth's ecosystems.
However, there have been times in the past when rates of extinction
have been significantly higher than normal background rates. These
are referred to as mass extinctions. During such events, vast numbers
of species disappear in a relatively short period of time.
In the history of Earth, there have been
five mass extinctions. The best known and most recent occurred at
the end of the Cretaceous period, 65 million years ago. At that
time, many kinds of organisms, plants and animals, marine and terrestrial,
went extinct, the best known being the dinosaurs. A total of 85%
of all species on Earth disappeared. Most scientists believe that
this mass extinction was caused by the impact of a large asteroid, which
had devastating environmental consequences. Study of this
extinction continues.
Four other mass extinctions are known to have occurred:
Near the end of the last ice age, about 10,000 years ago, many large mammals became extinct in North
America. These included mammoths, mastodons, glyptodonts, horses,
and ground sloths. These extinctions may have been caused by overhunting
on the part of humans, who had reached North America from Asia at
about this time. Climate change may also have played a role in the
demise of some species. Similar extinctions occurred in Australia
about 40,000 years ago, also timed to the arrival of humans on that
Since the ice age, humans have become
a dominating factor in the extinctions of many species through hunting,
habitat destruction, or competition caused by the introduction of
non-native species. One of the most famous examples of recent extinction
is the dodo, a flightless pigeon that lived on the island of Mauritius,
in the Indian Ocean. After Europeans reached Mauritius they introduced
non-native species such as pigs and cats, which eradicated the defenseless
dodo. Human overhunting may have doomed other flightless birds,
such as the giant moas of New Zealand and the elephant birds of
Madagascar. Today, several species of whales are near extinction
from overhunting as well. The introduction of the
brown tree snake into Guam has exterminated most of that island's
bird species. Habitat destruction and human-caused climate change threaten countless
plants and insects in all parts of the world.
