The thread in Ghastly's Ghastly Comic forum about halo299 considering a Mac has got me thinking. I am running a four year old Dell laptop and it's starting to give me problems. I think the video card is dying. So, now I could go back to Macs! My first computer was a Mac IIci (100 MB hard drive! 4 MB RAM! 13 inch monitor!) I DESERVE a new Mac!
The Dell isn't DEAD yet. So I'm bringing it to my office Monday to see if the IT guys work can see what's wrong. They are a Dell Certified shop so they should be able to at least tell me what's wrong. I alternate between "It's just some bad RAM corrupting the video driver" and "Oh man, the motherboard and video card are toast. Why is it still running?" I don't know which one to root for.
If I don't get my strips posted for next week you'll know it was the latter.
Hmmm, we do have that home equity loan just SITTING there...

Blacksburg,Va.- Sophomore Melker Svard (Gothenburg, Sweden) advanced to the third round in both singles and doubles competition to highlight UMBC's efforts at the 2013 USTA/ITA Regional Championships hosted by Virginia Tech University.
Svard opened singles competition with a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Liberty's Jorge Azuero. He then defeated Viktor Svensson of George Washington, 6-3, 6-2 before running into the tournament's top seed, Mac Styslinger of Virginia. The Cavaliers' top player defeated Svard, 6-3, 6-0 and has advanced to the tournament's semifinals.
In doubles competition, Svard partnered with classmate Justin Carter (Randallstown, Md.) to capture a pair of matches. The duo edged the team of Lange/Hill from George Mason, 8-5 and then proceeded to oust the tandem of Heugas/Voscek, VCU, 8-4. With a quarterfinal berth on the line, the Retrievers were defeated in a tie-breaker, falling, 8-7 (1) to the tandem of Dias/Svensson of GW.
Junior Daniel Gray (Bowie, Md./The Bullis School)and sophomore Alex Drean (Bayonne, France) also combined to win in doubles, eliminating the Norfolk State team of Zyhmantovich/Riethmueller, 8-4. But the UMBC side was knocked out by the top-seeded tandem of Aragone/Styslinger, 8-4.
Drean also won his first singles match and Gray captured a consolation singles match in the regional championships.

Dunga took charge of Porto Alegre club Internacional on Wednesday, his first coaching job since leading Brazil at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
-Dunga hails Scolari's appointment as Brazil coach
"To work with me, you have to be committed, you have to have the will to win," he told reporters after being presented by the club with which he started and ended his playing career
"I never left Inter, I was always here as a fan. Inter opened their doors to me when I was 14 years old and now I'm ready to pay them back."
Dunga's four years with Brazil between 2006 and 2010 are his only previous experience as a senior coach. He succeeded Carlos Alberto Parreira after the 2006 World Cup and won the Copa America one year later, followed by the Confederations Cup in 2009.
Under his leadership Brazil developed a physical, counter-attacking-based game which was unpopular with many fans and their World Cup campaign ended with a 2-1 quarter-final defeat by the Netherlands.
Dunga also alienated the media with what they called his siege mentality.
"Inter have a strong tradition," he said. "Inter fans will accept everything, except when players don't give everything for 90 minutes."
"The worst defeat of all is when you get home and think you could have done better. Everybody has to be committed."
As a player, Dunga was a feisty, defensive midfielder with a spiky haircut and almost permanent snarl who played in three World Cups. He captained the side who won the tournament in 1994 and led them to second place four years later.
His club career took him to Corinthians, Vasco da Gama and Santos in his homeland, Pisa, Fiorentina and Pescara in Italy, VfB Stuttgart in Germany and Japan's Jubilo Iwata.
Inter won the Club World Cup in 2006, beating Barcelona in the final, and are twice South American champions and three-time Brazilian championship winners.
They finished 10th in this year's Brazilian championship. Dunga replaced Fernandao, a player in the 2006 team who was fired as coach in November.

Flights to Etihad Airways' first German destination Munich were launched on 5 June 2004. A year later, operations to Frankfurt were added, and in December 2011, services linking Düsseldorf and Abu Dhabi took off.
To date, the UAE flag carrier has flown more than 2.7 million travellers and 300,000 tonnes of cargo on these three routes.
James Hogan, Etihad Airways President and Chief Executive Officer, said: "Marking 10 years of successful operations between Abu Dhabi and Germany is an historic milestone for Etihad Airways and proof of our passenger and cargo commitment in a key European market."
"In 10 years we have grown our German operations substantially, launched new routes, opened a Premium Lounge in Frankfurt, commenced freighter operations to Frankfurt, unveiled our European and German headquarters in Berlin, and started and cemented our strategic partnership with airberlin."
"Looking ahead, Etihad Airways will continue to develop the German inbound and outbound passenger travel market, facilitate import and export trade, while demonstrating innovation and unparalleled levels of product and service excellence."
In conjunction with airberlin, Etihad Airways today offers a combined 56 weekly services between four German cities (Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, and Munich) and Abu Dhabi, from where guests can connect easily to destinations across the globe.
This will increase to 63 combined flights per week on 1 December 2014 when airberlin commences a daily service between Stuttgart and Abu Dhabi.
Through its Etihad Cargo division, Etihad Airways also offers comprehensive freight services between Germany and Abu Dhabi on its passenger fleet, in addition to three weekly maindeck freighter operations to and from Frankfurt.

New Orleans Man Killed After Snitching On TV Show "Undercover Stings" (2 Hours After It Aired)
"A Mid-City man is dead after being killed inside his residence Tuesday morning, but it wasn't the only brush he's had with crime at his home. That home was also featured on national television hours earlier in a previously recorded drug bust. The bust at 325 North Miro Street earlier this year is what aired on Spike TV's "Undercover Stings" Monday night, and that address also belonged to Brice Parker, who was killed in the Mid-City home. New Orleans Police say they are trying to find Parker's killer. Neighbors and friends of Parker, tell WGNO News the 45-year-old's on-air dialogue with police could have come back to haunt him this morning. "He was telling them where the man had drugs on him and where (the drugs were) hid," said an anonymous woman, who says she is was a friend of Parker's. "He said he just got off of a charge, or something and he couldn't go back to jail. I heard it on TV", she said. The NOPD couldn't say whether they thought the murder had any connection to the drug bust months ago or the show's airing of it Monday night. Neighbors said the bust took place in January, a claim the NOPD couldn't confirm. A request for comment is in to the producers of "Undercover Stings". According to Spike TV's website, the show airs Monday nights from 9 to 10PM, and then again two hours later. Brice Parker was killed at 1AM Tuesday. Anyone with information on his murder is urged to call Crimestoppers at 822-1111. He got caught snitching on National TV two hours later hes dead Its sad man police dont care about people's safety." - WGNO

PORTSMOUTH — EasyPark users can soon add an additional city to their transponders.
Portsmouth signed its contract with the provider, OTI America, last week, and is targeting to be online by the end of January, according to Dover's Parking Manager Bill Simons.
The city is trying to integrate the garage into the system and is working to allow iPark users to transfer their funds to EasyPark within the coming weeks.
"Once Portsmouth is online, Dover customers will be able to add them to their software," Simons said. "This is done just how they transfer funds to the device. For people who aren't reloading, but want to add Portsmouth, they just need to reconnect to their computers."
The EasyPark system, unlike iPark, is a multitown meter-free parking product, making it a more attractive device to the cities requiring paid parking.
"Sales were steady in Dover last week," Simons said. "We've sold over 70 units already."
According to Simons, the town of Durham has expressed interest in the transponders and Concord and Manchester are going to view how residents react to the system in Portsmouth and Dover before making the decision to bring the product to their cities.
"It has the potential to really snowball throughout the region," Simons said.
EasyPark allows drivers to pay for parking without having to pay a meter. The devices are turned on to the appropriate city and zone a driver is parking in and can be placed on dashboards or on rearview mirrors.
Simons' understanding is that Portsmouth will also charge $19.95 for their transponders. He said he has recommended, for consistency, that the city also uses the same incentive as Dover and offers $10 worth of free parking.
There is also a $1 per month service fee for the device. Reloading fees are $2.95 for up to $50; $3.45 for $75 and $3.95 for $100. Reloads can be completed online with a credit or debit card.

View the Undergraduate Drug Policy
All students admitted to Franciscan University of Steubenville stating a preference for a major in Nursing are admitted according to the University admission criteria. These students are placed in pre-nursing and receive academic advising in the Department of Nursing. Students in pre-nursing will be an integral part of Franciscan University of Steubenville's campus community.
Admission to pre-nursing does not guarantee admission to the nursing program. Pre-nursing students must apply in writing to be admitted to the nursing program during the spring term freshman year at a time designated by the nursing department. Characteristics of academics (minimum QPA 2.5 and completion of required course work) and personal commitment to the nursing profession are considered as part of the admission process for the major. Those students wishing to transfer to the nursing major at the sophomore level from anther school must be admitted to Franciscan University. These applicants will be evaluated for admission by the same characteristics as students in pre-nursing at Franciscan University. Students applying to the nursing major will be notified in writing of their admission status prior to the beginning of the fall term of their sophomore year. Once students are admitted to the nursing major, they must maintain a 2.0 (C) or better in all nursing courses and in the required sciences. An overall QPA of 2.0 is required to remain in and to progress in the nursing major.
The Department of Nursing will admit as many qualified students as the faculty, resources, and facilities can reasonably serve without detriment to the quality of professional nursing education. All students admitted to the nursing major are assured of clinical placement in continuous semesters in order to complete the baccalaureate degree requirements.
Successful completion of the nursing program at Franciscan University and receipt of the degree no way ensures that a student will be granted a nursing license by individual state authorities. Each state has various requirements for licensing, including but not limited to, requiring licensing applicants to undergo a background check. Each student has the responsibility to ascertain the Registered Nurse licensing requirements of the state (s) to which he or she wishes to apply for a license.
Once a student is admitted to the nursing major, the student may expect to progress toward graduation in a timely manner when:
*A student who earns less than a C in two nursing courses is subject to dismissal from the Nursing major even if a nursing course has been repeated in which a grade lower than a C originally was earned and a grade of C or better has replaced the original grade. Please see the Undergraduate Nursing Handbook for a full description of the policies and procedures of the nursing department, including how they pertain to admission to and progression through the nursing major.
Registered nurse applicants must be graduates of accredited schools of nursing and present evidence of current licensure to practice nursing. Credit is granted by transfer, according to the University transfer policy, from other accredited institutions of higher education for comparable courses completed with a grade of at least a C.
Registered nurse students follow the RN to BSN or RN to MSN articulation program as published by the Department of Nursing.
Licensed Practical Nurses should seek advice from Department of Nursing relative to their advanced standing.

The Worcester music scene seems to be on a busy streak, lately. Here's a few cool bits (and songs) which have caught our attention:
•"We Are The Walking Dead," by Nemes: The other day, in Pop Culture Notebook on Telegram.com, we mentioned that Nemes' song, "Blue Rose," is a finalist in Mello Yellow's nationwide "One Track Find" competition. But that's not all the local rockers have been up to, and the band's recent song, "We Are The Walking Dead," inspired by the AMC zombie show, "The Walking Dead," is a full-on blast of undead energy, complete with orchestral arrangements and explosions of full-on metal. It's a much bigger sound than we've come to associate with Nemes, but we have to admit, the band's wearing it well.
•"Outlaw Waltz," by The Swaggerin' Growlers: Sporting an obvious influence from the great Irish folk-punk band, The Pogues, The Swaggerin' Growlers have a way of tying up traditional Celtic sounds and an unabashed rock sound and sensibility into something defiant and earnestly human. If you want to hear the band in a stripped-down, intimate setting, it's playing an acoustic set Sept. 6 at Beatnik's in Worcester. In the meantime, "Outlaw Waltz" is definitely worth a listen: addled by love and liquor, this song brings a measure of heartbreak and world-weariness to the fore that's immensely engaging.
•"So Shrewd," by The Lindseys: So … a little bird tells us this Seattle band is playing a secret show in Worcester on Saturday, alongside other bands including New Zealand punkers Team Ugly. Which? Sounds like a lot of fun: Flat-out, chaos-ridden garage punk, the likes of which we've heard seldomly since the late '80s. This song is just a pure adrenaline shot, an explosion of pure, unadulterated punk.

MANSFIELD, Conn. – A three-run top of the ninth ended a late inning Beacons rally as the 16th ranked and top-seeded Warriors of Eastern Connecticut State University ended baseball's season with a 10-5 decision on day two of the Little East Conference Tournament at the ECSU Baseball Stadium.
With Thursday's loss, the Beacons end the 2014 season, with a 17-23 record overall. For the Warriors they advance in the winner's bracket, and will play the winner of the University of Southern Maine/UMass Dartmouth on Friday at 11 a.m.
The Beacons, who trailed for most of the afternoon, began to chip away at the Warriors lead in the bottom of the eighth. Senior Jamill Moquete (Boston, Mass.) led off the inning with his 41st walk of the 2014 campaign. A single by Jose Pena (Boston, Mass.) moved his classmate over to third to put runners on the corners. Charlie LaPaglia (Marshfield, Mass.) would make it a four-run (7-3) game on an RBI single which plated Moquete, and moved Pena to second.
After going to the bullpen, the Warriors were able to pick-up their first out of the inning. Kyle Szatrowski (Agawam, Mass.) cut into ECSU's lead with an RBI double to make it 7-5. Following another pitching change, the Beacons would take advantage of a passed ball, which scored LaPaglia, and moved Szatrowski over to third. Unfortunately, the Beacons rally fell short as the Warriors were able to retire the next two batters to get out of the inning.
With the momentum shifting to the Beacons, UMass Boston knew they had to keep the Warriors off the board in the top of the ninth. However, Eastern would collect three runs in the half inning to push their lead back to five. The Beacons would record two hits in the inning, but would never reach home plate as the Warriors improved their win-streak to eight straight games.
Lucas Ilges (Gloucester, Mass.), who made his final start as a Beacon, was handed the loss after surrendering seven runs, five earned, on 10 hits in five innings. Fellow seniors Tom Cole (Mattapoisett, Mass.) and Daniel Heefner (Tracy, Calif.) closed out the contest in their final appearances with UMass Boston.
The Warriors' saw Brent Pelella earn his sixth win of the year (6-1) after going seven complete innings. He would surrender five Beacons runs, three earned, on eight hits, two of which were doubles by Moquete and Daniel Mantoni (Northbridge, Mass.).
Szatrowski's double in the eighth represented the Beacons third and final extra base hit, as the junior also drove in one of the UMass Boston's five runs. Moquete finished 1-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored, and was also walked once.
The Beacons combined for 10 hits, while the Warriors finished Thursday's contest with 15. The Beacons scored their first two runs of the afternoon in the bottom of the first on the RBI double by Moquete. The senior outfielder would come around to score following an error by the Warriors, which at the time tied the game at 2-2. ECSU would then two more runs in the third and three in the sixth, before the Beacons got back on the board in the eighth.

Jennifer Aniston 'Constantly Scared' Around Fiancé Justin Theroux
(LOS ANGELES) -- Jennifer Aniston's domestic life is more solid than ever, but, according to the actress, her fiancé Justin Theroux, keeps her on her toes.
In a new interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Aniston, 44, reveals that Theroux, 41, likes to hide and then, surprise her.
"He calls it trickery," she says. "He's constantly hiding behind drapes and I'm constantly scared. It's like, it doesn't get old on me."
Still, she has a plan to get him back.
"Shh," she said. "Here's the thing, I won't do that sort of elaborate scream. I'll sneak up and then once I hit the body, then scream."
Trickery aside, Aniston has a lot on her plate. Not only did she just produce a new TV movie for Lifetime, Call Me Crazy, but she also said recently that she has quite a bit of wedding planning left to do.
She said Tuesday that she doesn't have a wedding dress yet, and joked about coordinating her big day: "[It] might make me crazy."

Blowing Rock, NC postcard
One Fall we went to Blowing Rock, North Carolina. It was a very scenic trip.
While in the area we also went to Grandfather Mountain. I was interested in seeing the whole area, which covers Boone and Burke Counties, NC. I have been in those counties before but not since I became interested in genealogy. For some reason I have yet figured out, I like to walk over the terrain of where my ancestors walked. It probably means I am nutty as I can be.
We spent a good while on Blowing Rock, which the tourist town is named. Indians said if you throw something off the big rock it just might come back up to you. I think they probably used more mystic terms.
I think I know why things might come back. The rock named Blowing Rock in on a high mountain chain ridge. It also at the inside point where two ridges from different directions meet, forming a V. Blowing Rock is inside the V, behind the point.
So you have wind coming from the west that gets corralled in the V, like in a funnel
And when it reaches the inverted point it cannot bounce back because the wind is still blowing behind it and the only way its force can go is up.
Years ago when my friend Sam was going to Georgia Tech once he and I went to Allatoona Dam to try something. Sam, with his study of aviation and physics was pretty certain if you sailed a paper airplane off the top of the dam the air draft would carry it up and keep it up. We tried it and it worked. A little notebook paper folded airplane stayed airborne for a very long time... well, long enough for us to lose interest... remember, I have a short attention span... so, maybe we left... it might still be there, about 30 to 50 feet over the dam lazily swooping up and down with the air currents.
Boy, were we smart!!

John Diaz, Glass House/
In his latest column, John Diaz, editorial page editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, bemoans the tendency of his readers to live in echo chambers of the like-minded, receiving information only from sources they agree with. Yes, political polarization is real and increasing. But as political scientist Brendan Nyhan recently pointed out in a more nuanced and better informed article, American expose themselves to a wider variety of media and information sources than hand-wringers like Diaz acknowledge.
But there does seem to be at least one group of Americans who live in a media echo chamber: Readers of California newspapers.
Look at this list, compiled by the irreplaceable Scott Lay for his daily Nooner report, of newspaper endorsements of statewide candidates and ballot measures for the November 4 election.
I read this list and can't help but marvel how, in a state as big as California, with the most complex economy and most diverse mix of people and cultures on the face of the planet, the state's newspapers manage to walk in virtual lockstep through the ballot.
Why? Partly because this is an election mostly about nothing in a state where one party, the Republicans, is moribund. But notice that in the only three statewide candidate elections where there is any real competition—controller, secretary of state, superintendent of public instruction—the endorsements are virtually unanimous. And that's not because those races involve easy or obvious choices. There's a good, informed case to be made for any of the candidates in those contests. But in 26 flips of the coin, the state's newspapers ended up together on heads 23 times.
Diaz denies his newspaper has a "centrist bias." But the papers' very much nonrandom walk through this year's ballot seems a good piece of evidence for what I observed in a career working in journalism: there's no echo chamber louder, no herd more tightly clustered around conventional wisdom, than in a newspaper office.

Understanding the Three Kinds of Average in Maths
There are three kinds of average in maths that you may need to know about in your numeracy test. Here's a quick reminder for you:
The mode is the most popular category – the one that shows up most often.
The median is the value of the middle data point – half the data are bigger than this, and half the data smaller.
The mean is what you normally mean by average (add everything up and divide by how many things there are). It's the meanest thing they can ask!

Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have identified how a gene for a protein that can cause Type 2 diabetes, also possibly kills nerve cells in the brain, thereby contributing to Alzheimer's disease.
The gene, called SorCS1, controls the generation of amyloid-beta (Abeta) in the brain. Abeta plays a key role in the development of Alzheimer's disease. The researchers previously linked SorCS1 to Alzheimer's disease and identified where the molecules lived in the cell, but not how they control Abeta. The new study was presented today at the Alzheimer's Association's Annual International Conference in Paris.
Sam Gandy, MD, PhD, the Mount Sinai Professor in Alzheimer's Disease Research, Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry, and Associate Director of the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, led the research team with Rachel Lane, PhD, a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Gandy's lab.
The researchers determined various "traffic patterns" in the cell for the amyloid precursor protein (APP) that makes Abeta and uncovered how much APP is converted into the toxic, and ultimately nerve-killing, Abeta. In some experiments Drs. Lane and Gandy altered the dose of the diabetes gene, SorCS1, and evaluated how that changed the "traffic pattern" that APP used to move around the cell and generate Abeta. In other experiments, Dr. Lane made small changes in the SorCS1 gene's and again saw dramatic changes in the "traffic pattern" of APP around the cell.
These data suggest that SorCS1 controls the movement of APP within the cell between areas where Abeta is readily made to areas where Abeta is not so easily made. In turn, the "traffic pattern" of influences the amount of Abeta being made by cells. The implication is that people with deficiencies in SorCS1 are at higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease because their APP spends too much time in the region of the cell where APP is broken down to make the toxic Abeta.
"The great thing about studying SorCS1," said Dr. Gandy, "is that we already have entirely new ideas about how to treat both Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes. Our hunch is that SorCS1 also controls how the insulin receptor moves around the cell, but we have not yet proven that," he said. "With both diseases reaching epidemic proportions, this discovery is encouraging news that brings us one step closer to developing treatments."
This work was supported by the Cure Alzheimer's Fund.

Anil Kumble appointed chief mentor of Mumbai Indians
The 42-year-old Kumble not only holds the record of being the highest Indian wicket-taker in both Tests as well as ODIs but is also considered a highly respected sportsman the world over for his enormous experience and cricketing intelligence.
Mumbai: Former India captain Anil Kumble was on Monday appointed chief mentor of the Mumbai Indians IPL team ahead of the start of the sixth season.
The 42-year-old Kumble not only holds the record of being the highest Indian wicket-taker in both Tests as well as ODIs but is also considered a highly respected sportsman the world over for his enormous experience and cricketing intelligence.
Commenting on his appointment, Kumble said, "In my discussion with Reliance Group Management, I find that they have a great and compelling vision for sports in this country, which aligns with my venture Tenvic Sports' aspirations in making 'sports' as the main catalyst of youth development."
"Mumbai Indians is a very competitive team in the IPL with high-profile players and committed owners. It's my honour to join the Mumbai Indians as Chief Mentor and to align our joint interest in making sports as an important agenda in youth development. I look forward to the new assignment," he said in a statement.
Mumbai Indians owner Nita Ambani said, "In Anil Kumble, we have a new Chief Mentor who has extensive cricketing knowledge not only as a player of international stature but also as an able administrator. He is one of India's leading sporting icons and we have great pleasure in having him on board."
Royal Challengers Bangalore, where Kumble was holding the same post prior to joining MI, issued a statement regarding this.
"Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and its Chief Mentor Anil Kumble have agreed to a separation with immediate effect. The parties have taken this consensual decision after considering various aspects. The parties have reaffirmed their mutual goodwill and have expressed satisfaction over the process of separation." the RCB said in a statement.
Kumble further stated, "I have had an enjoyable association with RCB, as player, captain and mentor. During this period we have achieved most of our objectives and RCB has emerged as one of the leading franchises in the IPL.
"I leave with happy memories. I am thankful to Dr. Vijay Mallya for offering me the role of Chief Mentor, a position that allowed me to observe the challenges of being a franchise owner from close quarters and develop a nuanced perspective of the commercial elements of sport.
Mallya said, "Anil has been a great asset to RCB as captain, chief mentor and advisor. He has helped shape the entire team and was instrumental in creating a unique sense of passion and commitment.

The first assessment of all European mammals, commissioned by the European Commission and carried out by the World Conservation Union (IUCN), shows that nearly one in every six mammal species is now threatened with extinction.
The population trends are equally alarming: a quarter (27%) of all mammals has declining populations and a further 33% had an unknown population trend. Only 8% were identified as increasing, including the European bison, thanks to successful conservation measures.
Europe is now home to the world's most threatened cat species, the Iberian Lynx, and the world's most threatened seal, the Mediterranean Monk Seal, both classified as Critically Endangered.
Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas said: "The results of the report highlight the challenge we currently face to halt the loss of biodiversity by 2010, as European governments have promised. It is clear that the full implementation of the Habitats Directive, which covers nearly all mammals found threatened in this assessment, is of utmost importance to protect Europe's species".
World Conservation Union (IUCN) Director-General Julia Marton-Lefèvre said: "This new assessment proves that many European mammals are declining at an alarming rate. However, we still have the power to reverse that trend, as the case of the European bison which was brought back from extinction clearly shows."
Europe contains a rich diversity of mammals ranging from the small and rarely seen nocturnal shrews and voles to the elusive brown bear. But the results of the European Mammal Assessment are clear: while some 15%, or almost one sixth, of mammals are threatened in Europe, the situation of marine mammals is even bleaker: some 22% are classified as threatened with extinction. The true number is likely to be even higher, as almost 44% were classified as Data Deficient due to missing information. By comparison, 13% of European birds are threatened.
The main threats to European mammals are habitat degradation and loss such as deforestation or wetland drainage, followed by pollution and over-harvesting. For marine species, pollution and accidental mortality from fisheries by-catch or ship collisions are the main risks. These threats are most severe in the enclosed seas of the Baltic, Mediterranean and Black Sea.
Within the European Union, six species have been classified as Critically Endangered. The most threatened category includes the Arctic fox and the European mink, which both have very small and declining populations. Only 150 Iberian Lynx survive today and the Mediterranean monk seal population has decreased to between 350-450 individuals.
Europe is one of the best studied regions of the world, but no overall view of the conservation status of mammals across the continent had been compiled. To fill that gap, the European Union commissioned the World Conservation Union (IUCN) to assess all mammals of continental Europe against the IUCN Red List criteria in order to identify Europe's most threatened mammals and help set conservation priorities.
The assessment shows that Europe's mountains and the Balkan Peninsula are home to the greatest diversity of species. This wealth of biodiversity forms an arc which extends from the Pyrenees through the Alps towards the Carpathians and Rhodopes in southeastern Europe. The greatest concentration of threatened species was found in Bulgaria.
The European bison and Alpine Ibex – back from the brink
The European bison was brought to the brink of extinction during the early 20th century when the last individuals were saved in zoos. As a result of reintroductions and introductions, there are now some 1,800 individuals occurring in free-ranging and semi-free herds in Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Russian Federation, Ukraine, and Slovakia.
The Alpine Ibex, another European endemic, was brought close to extinction in the 19th century by intensive hunting and was found only in the Gran Paradiso National Park in Italy. This species is now classified as least concern due to extensive conservation efforts and re-introductions.
To reverse the decline of Europe's mammals, the study recommends urgent implementation of the EU's nature conservation policies, to develop species action plans and integrate nature conservation into the EU's land use policies.
"Today is World Biodiversity Day – a unique chance to celebrate the diversity of life on Earth and to remember humans' fragile place within this complex web. As we celebrate this day we have to remember that our actions have brought many species to the brink of extinction, however we must also know that we have the power and opportunity to reverse this situation," said Julia Marton-Lefèvre.

"Although Europe is one of the best studied regions of the world, little of this knowledge has been brought together and until now, we have had no overall view of the conservation status of mammals across the continent," said Helen Temple of IUCN's Red List Unit, who led the assessment.
"This assessment is an important step forward in the development of conservation knowledge for European species. IUCN will continue to develop assessments for other species groups to build up a complete picture of the state of biodiversity in Europe. European countries have the knowledge and the means to become the world leaders in the fight against the current extinction crisis and pave the way for the rest of the world but additional efforts are needed," said Jean-Christophe Vié, one of the coordinators of the assessment and Deputy Head of the IUCN Species Programme.

Dionne Warwick is unfortunately not singing a happy tune right now.
The five-time Grammy winner filed for bankruptcy on March 21 in her home state of New Jersey, NBC reports.
According to the petition, Warwick listed total assets of $25,500 and total liabilities of more than $10.7 million in taxes owed to the Internal Revenue Service and the state of California.
In a statement, Warwick's publicist said the personal bankruptcy filing was due to "negligent and gross financial mismanagement" in the late 1980s through the mid-1990s.
The publicist also noted that while the back taxes had been paid, the penalties and interest continue to accrue.

North Korea's new leader Kim Jong-un vowed today in his maiden address before his people to build on the "military first" policy of the Kim family dynasty. He spoke before a massive crowd in Pyongyang for the 100th anniversary of the birth of his grandfather, North Korea's "Great Leader" Kim Il-sung.
The celebration on Pyongyang's Kim Il-sung Square – the biggest such event in North Korea since the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Korean People's Army in 1992 – left no doubt of the primacy of North Korea's armed forces in perpetuating the hard-line policies of the dynasty, in power since the end of World War II.
North Korea's "powerful military," Kim Jong-un assured the throng – and millions more listening on the North's state TV and radio networks – was "capable of waging modern warfare with offensive and defensive tactics."
In a clear allusion to North Korea's nuclear program, he said the era in which foreign powers could intimidate the North "with atomic weapons is forever gone." That remark appeared to fortify the widespread view that Kim Jong-un, spurred on by the generals who dominate the power structure, is likely to press ahead with a third nuclear test.
Bolstered by his newly acquired title of chairman of the national defense commission, the center of power in North Korea, Kim Jong-un appeared solemnly confident as he stepped forward on a balcony high above the square, grasped the podium behind six or seven microphones and in a heavy monotone paid homage to the legacy of both his father and grandfather. Clad in a dark Mao-style suit, in contrast to the uniformed, bemedalled generals on either side of him, he read from a prepared text as he spoke defiantly of the country's need to defend itself against foreign aggressors.
The grand occasion, under clear skies in cool spring weather, was intended to solidify the authority of the new leader, believed to be 29 years old, as much as to honor his grandfather, who ruled for nearly half a century before dying in 1994. Kim Jong-un now has "all the formal levers of power," says Lee Jong-min, dean of the graduate school of international studies at Yonsei University, "and this is the world's most militarized state."
Mr. Lee believes Kim Jong-un, like his father Kim Jong-il, who died in December, feels a special need to demonstrate his military strength since he has no real military experience beyond the few years that North Korean propaganda claims he spent at the country's military academy. "This young chap has to burnish his military credentials," says Lee, though "I don't think anyone in North Korea is going to tell him to his face" that he has little or no military experience.
In contrast, says Lee, Kim Il-sung, after years as a revolutionary fighter in Manchuria and then service as an officer in the Soviet army in World War II, "had the charisma of direct military experience" and could make the Workers' Party the center of power. Like Kim Jong-un, Kim Jong-il had little if any military experience. Partly for that reason, well before his father's death, Kim Jong-il sensed the need to establish himself as leader of the national defense commission as it gained ascendancy over the party. Kim Jong-un, in visits to military bases as well as his remarks today, leaves no doubt he intends to carry on where his father left off.
"The party is not supposed to control the military as in the Kim Il-sung era," says Choi Jin-wook, senior fellow at the Korea Institute for National Unification. "After Kim Il-sung died, Kim Jong-il bypassed the party to control the military."
Buoyed by titles
Kim Jong-un's confidence, in colorful recognition of his primacy over the generals and relatives who are believed to be orchestrating his rule, was clearly bolstered by the acquisition of formal titles. He has surrounded himself with newly promoted senior officers as he protects his own position behind an appearance of growing military strength. At the core of his top advisers is his uncle-in-law, Jang Song-thaek, married to Kim Jong-il's younger sister. Kim Jong-il named Jang a general as well as vice chairman of the national defense commission long before he died.
Leaving no doubt that Kim Jong-un rules over the civilian as well as the military apparatus, the Workers' Party last week named him "first secretary" before his elevation as "first chairman" of the national defense commission. His father was named "eternal general secretary" of the party while his grandfather, Kim Il-sung, remains "eternal president."
Kim Jong-un did not mention the failure of the long-range missile that broke up and plunged into the Yellow Sea 80 seconds after its launch on Friday, but he may have had that embarrassment in mind when he remarked, "Our beloved soldiers and commanders," not "modern weapons," counted the most.
The fact that Kim Jong-un spoke at all was perhaps the most significant aspect of the festive occasion in which thousands of troops in dress uniform stood in close formation on Kim Il-sung Square before thousands more civilians who alternated between listening intently and breaking into cheers during his 22-minute address. Kim Jong-il was heard to speak only once, very briefly, in public during the 17 years in which he ruled North Korea after his father died in 1994.
In a parade immediately after Kim Jong-un's address, the sight of heavy-duty weaponry caught the most attention. The most fearsome was a missile said to be about 15-feet longer than the one that failed so abysmally on Friday. The missile, painted olive drab and black, rested ponderously on a slow-moving 16-wheel vehicle.
Although it was unclear if the missile was genuine or a dummy, South Korea's 24-hour cable network, YTN, described it as "an advanced version" of the long-range missiles that North Korea fired successfully in 1998 and 2009 and unsuccessfully in 2006 and again three days ago.

Remember my Thai Basil Sangria post from a couple months ago, in which I became excited by the prospect of being able to grow herbs indoors during the winter? Well, that excitement might have been premature.
In early November sun was still streaming in through the windows for 8+ hours a day. It was still warm enough that I was able to crack open the window to let in fresh air. Not anymore, on both accounts. And my window plants, consequently, have been fading, even with religious watering.
All my herbs, including the Thai basil plant that was so lively before, are nearing the end. So for lunch one day, I decided to use up as much of it as possible while it was still somewhat healthy. I didn't want to trek to the store to pick up curry paste, so this Thai basil chicken fried rice was the answer. And it made me wonder why I didn't make fried rice with Thai basil more often. I used up not only most of the basil but also some leftover chicken in the fridge. Best of all, I spent only 5 minutes in front of the stove for a very tasty lunch.
I still have a bit of Thai basil left. Let's see...what else to make with it, other than more sangrias?
Thai Basil Chicken Fried Rice
Serves 3 to 4
- 3 cups leftover white rice
- 2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces about 1-inch in diameter
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- 1/3 cup chopped Thai basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Break up the cold cooked rice into smaller clumps.
- Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until a bead of water sizzles and evaporates on contact. Add the oil and swirl to coat the base. Add the garlic, shallots, and optional crushed red pepper and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, until just aromatic. Add the chicken and stir-fry until no longer pink, about 2 minutes.
- Toss in the rice and break up any remaining clumps with a spatula. Stir in the fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar. Add the chopped Thai basil. Continue to stir-fry until the rice starts to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to bowls and serve hot.

1Thessalonians 2:- 4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts. 5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness: 6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. 7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children: 8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us. 9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God. 10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe: 11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children, 12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. 13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

Summit Up 3-15-13: Where Cub Scouts save the day
Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that predicted the existence of the Higgs boson way before any Swiss Army collider "discovered" the so-called elementary particle.
Now, you might ask, how would a newspaper column know anything about science of any kind, much less the cutting edge of advanced physics. Well, the explanation is quite technical and would require several charts and graphs. Due to space considerations, however, we'll have to save that for another time. Instead, enjoy the following item submitted by a local fire department:
"Lake Dillon Fire reports a flashing-lights scum alert! An unknown someone, or someones, swiped the U.S. flag flying over Lake Dillon Fire Station No. 12 in Summit Cove earlier this month. How unpatriotic! Lake Dillon Fire also reports a flashing-lights-AND-sirens angel alert!! Local Cub Scout Pack #186, which uses Station No. 12 for its meetings, upon learning of the theft of the flag, offered a replacement so that Old Glory is back to her rightful spot. Merit badges all around, kiddos!"
