November 26, 2012 – CHILE – An eruption may have occurred at a remote volcano on the Chilean-Argentine border. There are some reports of a possible small plume drifting from Copahue volcano near the Chile-Argentina border. The volcano last erupted in 2000. Copahue is a stratovolcano nestled on the border between Argentina and Chile.

There are nine volcanic craters along a 2 km (1.2 mi) line, and the eastern summit crater contains a briny, acidic 300 m (1000 ft) wide crater lake. Twentieth-century eruptions from the crater lake have ejected pyroclastic rocks and chilled liquid sulfur fragments. –Earthquake Report, Wikipedia

In a rather incredible video posted to BuzzFeed on Sunday, an uncooperative cat gets effectively 'fetched' by a small but tenacious dog.

The video, which has been viewed over 117,000 times, features the owner speaking to the dog in Russian:

"Carry her home, cmon, bring her home, cmon. Carry her. Cmon cmon home carry her home. Good boy. HOME! Carry her HOME!"

Like most mornings, Joe Lueken began this one at 4 a.m

BEMIDJI, MINN. - Joe Lueken spent 46 years becoming a successful grocer and community benefactor here. Finally, at 70, he's ready to sell the business, travel the world with his wife, Janice, and reap some of what they've sown.

So when he strides into his south Bemidji supermarket and 2 1/2-year employee Maria Svare smiles broadly and asks him, "How do you like my store today?" it might sound like a joke.

But it's not. And that's part of why hundreds of Bemidji residents are thankful this holiday season for Joe Lueken.

The structure of the universe and the laws that govern its growth may be more similar than previously thought to the structure and growth of the human brain and other complex networks, such as the Internet or a social network of trust relationships between people, according to a new paper published in the science journal Nature's Scientific Reports.

"But the discovered equivalence between the growth of the universe and complex networks strongly suggests that unexpectedly similar laws govern the dynamics of these very different complex systems."
