A jar of marijuana labeled "Certified for Medical Purposes."
By Eric Russell
Staff Writer
The head of Maine's medical marijuana program announced at a public meeting that he has been terminated from his position, according to two people who attended the meeting.
John Thiele, who worked in the Department of Health and Human Services' Division of Licensing and Regulatory Services, shared the news Friday at a Medical Marijuana Caregivers of Maine event, in advance of the group's Home Grown Maine expo Saturday in Portland.
"This is not good news for Maine's medical marijuana program," said Chris Kenoyer, a licensed caregiver who attended the meeting. Kenoyer said Thiele was "very responsive and respectful" and was the go-to person for questions about state laws on the subject.
Rep. Mark Dion, who worked with Thiele both as a lawmaker and as an attorney who represents medical marijuana caregivers, confirmed that Thiele had been let go.
"I had actually heard it in the community sometime in the last week," the Portland Democrat said Sunday. "I always thought he was helpful, prompt. I was surprised."
Neither Thiele nor his boss, DHHS Commissioner Mary Mayhew, returned calls for comment Sunday. The department has not publicly announced Thiele's dismissal.
Kenoyer said the reason Thiele gave for his dismissal Friday was that he had become "too friendly with patients and caregivers." Dion characterized things slightly differently: "There was thought that he was acting more as a social worker than a regulator," Dion said.
In a post advertising Saturday's event on the Medical Marijuana Caregivers of Maine website, Thiele was listed as "the patient-friendly former director of the Maine DHHS medical use of marijuana program."
Maine voters legalized marijuana for medical purposes through a citizens initiative back in 1999, but the program has undergone a significant expansion in the past few years. In 2009, voters overwhelmingly passed a law that created nonprofit marijuana dispensaries, allowed certified caregivers to grow marijuana for as many as five patients and expanded the acceptable conditions under which a patient could be certified.
By most estimates, the program has grown considerably, although the state has no way to track the number of medical marijuana patients. Another new law, passed last year, made registration voluntary, so there is no way to know how many patients have been certified or how many doctors are certifying patients. Some have argued that fewer restrictions have made the system ripe for abuse, especially because one of the new conditions -- intractable pain -- is subjective.
Maine doctors now have sole discretion over whether to certify patients, and some are becoming de facto specialists. Dr. Dustin Sulak, a Falmouth medical marijuana practitioner, told the Portland Press Herald last month that he had certified "thousands" of patients. His practice even offered student discounts for medical marijuana evaluations.
In an interview with the Press Herald about a month ago, Thiele said that even though the program had become less regulated in recent years, it was well run. He also said his office recently drafted new rules to improve the program further, but it doesn't appear those rules have been implemented yet.
Kenoyer said he and other medical marijuana advocates are concerned that Thiele's dismissal could signal a shift in the direction of state policy.
Dion said the rulemaking process has been slower than expected, but he doesn't think things are on hold.
"If there was a shift in policy, I would think there would be some communication," he said.
Rep. Deborah Sanderson, R-Chelsea, who has been strongly in favor of expanding Maine's medical marijuana program and drafted last year's bill that made patient registration voluntary, said she would be disappointed if the new rules are shelved.
Sanderson had not heard about Thiele's dismissal by Sunday. When told, she said she was shocked.
"I have no idea why he would be let go," she said.
Dion said several people asked Thiele on Friday about his dismissal, but Thiele did not offer much information.
"I think he plans to appeal the decision," Dion said.
Thiele has been the public face of Maine's medical marijuana program for the last year, but has worked in the licensing division for a number of years, Dion said. His ouster is the latest in a long line of personnel shakeups within DHHS since Gov. Paul LePage was elected in 2010.
Thiele's predecessor, Catherine Cobb, stepped down last November about a month after she was placed on leave as part of a managerial review.
In October of last year, the state's former welfare director, Barbara Van Burgel, was let go. She later said she was pushed out by the new administration.
Others who have left DHHS in the past two years include James Beogher, director of the Child and Family Services program, Don Chamberlain and Ron Welch of the Adult Mental Health Services program, Diana Scully of the Elder Services program, Jane Gallivan of Adults with Cognitive and Physical Disabilities, and Anthony Marple, head of MaineCare Services.

Cold Weather Continues to Push Electricity Use Higher
VALLEY FORGE, Pa., Jan. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- PJM Interconnection, the electricity grid operator for more than 61 million people in 13 states and the District of Columbia, has requested the public in the BGE and Pepco regions to conserve electricity today and Friday. The call for conservation was prompted by continuing frigid weather increasing the demand for electricity and placing stress on generating resources.
PJM asks consumers to conserve electricity, if health permits – especially from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. today and 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. Friday. Conserving electricity will help ensure adequate power supplies. Electricity customers can take simple electricity conservation steps:
The prolonged, extremely cold weather is causing high demand for electricity. As a result, PJM and its members are managing a very tight power supply. The prolonged cold requires some generating units to operate more often and for more hours than normal. It also stresses generator components. Any resulting unplanned shutdowns can further tighten power supplies.
PJM and its members are doing everything possible to avoid taking other steps affecting the public.
Utility customers who are demand response providers have also been asked to reduce their electricity use. These customers agreed in advance to eliminate or significantly reduce their use of electricity when called upon and are paid for cutting back their electricity use.
PJM is communicating about the situation with state government officials throughout the region.
PJM Interconnection, founded in 1927, ensures the reliability of the high-voltage electric power system serving 61 million people in all or parts of Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia. PJM coordinates and directs the operation of the region's transmission grid, which includes 62,556 miles of transmission lines; administers a competitive wholesale electricity market; and plans regional transmission expansion improvements to maintain grid reliability and relieve congestion.

State official faults handling of immigrant
HARTFORD — An adviser to Connecticut's governor said Thursday that the U.S. government's detention of a Mexican immigrant reveals flaws of the federal Secure Communities program, joining advocates at a rally condemning the initiative that took effect statewide earlier this year.
The immigrant, 34-year-old Josemaria Islas of New Haven, was arrested in July on charges that he tried to steal a bicycle. His lawyers said he was wrongfully arrested and the charges were later reduced to misdemeanors, but instead of being released, Islas was turned over to federal agents at the request of U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.

PRESIDENT OBAMA will deliver his 2013 State of the Union address on Tuesday, and expectations are high that he will devote significant time to climate change. We hope that he adopts a different approach to explaining the need for action than he did in much of his first term.
In past addresses, talking about green jobs didn't work, nor did talking about energy independence. The credible way to justify fighting climate change is to discuss the science, the real reason to cut carbon emissions. There is overwhelming evidence that the planet is warming. The widespread burning of fossil fuels, meanwhile, pumps heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every second. There is still uncertainty about exactly how sensitive the climate system is to a given increase in carbon dioxide concentrations — but not enough uncertainty to justify ignoring the risks of rising temperatures.

Juan Carlos I of Spain
Juan Carlos I (Spanish pronunciation: [xwaŋˈkarlos];[a] Juan Carlos Alfonso Víctor María de Borbón y Borbón-Dos Sicilias; born 5 January 1938) is the current King of Spain.
Spanish dictator Francisco Franco named Juan Carlos as the next head of state in 1969.[3] He became King on 22 November 1975, two days after Franco's death, the first reigning monarch since 1931. Soon after enthronement, Juan Carlos introduced reforms to dismantle the Francoist regime and begin the Spanish transition to democracy. This led to the approval of the Spanish Constitution of 1978 in a referendum, which established a constitutional monarchy. Juan Carlos also played a major role in stopping the 1981 coup attempt.
According to the Spanish Constitution, the monarch is the head-of-state and commander-in-chief of the Spanish Armed Forces[4][5] and also plays a role in promoting Ibero-American relations, the "nations of its historical community".[4][5] In this capacity, the King of Spain serves as the president of the Ibero-American States Organization, representing over 700 million people in 24 member nations worldwide. In 2008, he was considered the most popular leader in all Ibero-America.[6]

Early life[edit]
Juan Carlos was born to Infante Juan, Count of Barcelona, and Princess María Mercedes of Bourbon-Two Sicilies in Rome, Italy, where his grandfather, King Alfonso XIII, and other members of the Spanish royal family had settled following the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic in 1931. He was baptized as Juan Carlos Alfonso Víctor María de Borbón y Borbón-Dos Sicilias.[b] His early life was dictated largely by the political concerns of his father and General Franco. He moved to Spain in 1948 to be educated there after his father persuaded Franco to allow it. He began his studies in San Sebastián and finished them in 1954 at the San Isidro Institute in Madrid. He then joined the army, doing his officer training from 1955 to 1957 at the Military Academy of Zaragoza.
Juan Carlos has two sisters: Infanta Pilar, Duchess of Badajoz (born 1936) and Infanta Margarita, Duchess of Soria (born 1939). He also had a younger brother, Alfonso.
Alfonso's death[edit]
In March 1956, Juan Carlos's younger brother Alfonso died in a gun accident at the family's home Villa Giralda in Estoril, Portugal. The Spanish Embassy in Portugal then issued the following official communiqué:[7]
- Whilst His Highness Prince Alfonso was cleaning a revolver last evening with his brother, a shot was fired hitting his forehead and killing him in a few minutes. The accident took place at 20.30 hours, after the Infante's return from the Maundy Thursday religious service, during which he had received holy communion.
Rumors appeared in newspapers that the gun had actually been held by Juan Carlos at the moment the shot was fired. Josefina Carolo, dressmaker to Juan Carlos's mother, said that Juan Carlos pointed the pistol at Alfonso and pulled the trigger, unaware that the pistol was loaded. Bernardo Arnoso, a Portuguese friend of Juan Carlos, also said that Juan Carlos fired the pistol not knowing that it was loaded, and adding that the bullet ricocheted off a wall hitting Alfonso in the face. Helena Matheopoulos, a Greek author who spoke with Juan Carlos's sister Pilar, said that Alfonso had been out of the room and when he returned and pushed the door open, the door knocked Juan Carlos in the arm causing him to fire the pistol.[8][9]
In 1957, Juan Carlos spent a year in the naval school at Marin, Pontevedra, and another in the Air Force school in San Javier in Murcia. In 1960–1 he studied Law, International Political Economy and Public Finance at Complutense University.[10] He then went to live in the Palace of Zarzuela, and began carrying out official engagements.
Prince of Spain (1969–1975)[edit]
|This section of a biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2012)
The dictatorial regime of Francisco Franco came to power during the Spanish Civil War, which pitted democrats, anarchists, socialists, and communists, supported in part by the Soviet Union and by international volunteers, against conservatives, monarchists, nationalists, and fascists, supported by both Hitler and Mussolini, with the latter group ultimately emerging successful with the support of neighbouring Portugal and the major European Axis powers of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. Despite his alliance with monarchists, Franco was not eager to restore the deposed Spanish monarchy once in power, preferring to head a regime with himself as head of state for life. Though Franco's partisan supporters generally accepted this arrangement for the present, much debate quickly ensued over who would replace Franco upon his death. The far right factions demanded the return of a hardline absolute monarchy, and eventually Franco agreed that his successor would be a monarch. Franco had no intention of restoring the constitutional form of monarchy known during the 19th century or the republican form of government created by the Spanish Constitution of 1931.
The heir to the throne of Spain was Juan de Borbón (Count of Barcelona), the son of the late Alfonso XIII. However, General Franco viewed the heir with extreme suspicion, believing him to be a liberal who was opposed to his regime. Franco then considered giving the Spanish throne to Juan Carlos's cousin Alfonso, Duke of Anjou and Cádiz. Alfonso was known to be an ardent Francoist and would marry Franco's granddaughter, Doña María del Carmen Martínez-Bordiú y Franco in 1972.
Ultimately, Franco decided to skip a generation and name Juan de Borbón's son, Prince Juan Carlos, as his personal successor. Franco hoped the young prince could be groomed to take over the nation while still maintaining the ultraconservative nature of his regime. In 1969, Juan Carlos was officially designated heir-apparent and was given the new title of Prince of Spain (not the traditional Prince of Asturias). As a condition of being named heir-apparent, he was required to swear loyalty to Franco's Movimiento Nacional, which he did with little outward hesitation.
Prince Juan Carlos met and consulted Franco many times while heir apparent and often took part in official and ceremonial state functions standing alongside the dictator, much to the anger of hardline republicans and more moderate liberals, who hoped that Franco's death would bring in an era of reform. During 1969–1975, Juan Carlos publicly supported Franco's regime. Although Franco's health worsened during those years, whenever he did appear in public, from state dinners to military parades, it was in Juan Carlos's company as he continued to praise Franco and his government for the economic growth and positive changes in Spain. However, as the years progressed, Juan Carlos began meeting secretly with political opposition leaders and exiles, who were fighting to bring liberal reform to the country. He also had secret conversations with his father over the telephone. Franco, for his part, remained largely oblivious to the prince's actions and denied allegations from his ministers and advisors that Juan Carlos was in any way disloyal to his vision of the regime.
During periods of Franco's temporary incapacity in 1974 and 1975 Juan Carlos was acting head of state. Near death, on 30 October 1975, Franco gave full control to Juan Carlos. On 22 November, following Franco's death, the Cortes Generales proclaimed Juan Carlos King of Spain. In his coronation speech of 22 November 1975, the monarch himself spoke of three factors: the historical tradition, national laws, and the will of the people, and in so doing referred to a process dating back to the Civil War of 1936-39.[11] 27 November, Juan Carlos was anointed king in a ceremony called Holy Spirit Mass, which was the equivalent of a coronation, at the Jerónimos Church in Madrid. He opted not to call [12] himself Juan III or Carlos V, but Juan Carlos I.
Restoration of the monarchy[edit]
Juan Carlos quickly instituted reforms, to the great displeasure of Falangist and conservative (monarchist) elements, especially in the military, who had expected him to maintain the authoritarian state. He appointed Adolfo Suárez, a former leader of the Movimiento Nacional, as Prime Minister of Spain.
On 20 May 1977, the leader of the only recently legalized Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) Felipe González, accompanied by Javier Solana, visited Juan Carlos in the Zarzuela Palace. The event represented a key endorsement of the monarchy from Spain's political left, who had been historically republican. Left-wing support for the monarchy grew when the Communist Party of Spain was legalized shortly thereafter, a move Juan Carlos had pressed for, despite enormous right-wing military opposition at that time, during the Cold War.
On 15 June 1977, Spain held its first post-Franco democratic elections. In 1978, the government promulgated a new Constitution that acknowledged Juan Carlos as rightful heir of the Spanish dynasty and King; specifically, Title II, Section 57 asserted Juan Carlos' right to the throne of Spain by dynastic succession in the Borbón tradition, as "the legitimate heir of the historic dynasty" rather than as the designated successor of Franco.[4][13] The Constitution was passed by the democratically elected Constituent Cortes, ratified by the people in a referendum (6 December) and then signed into law by the King before a solemn meeting of the Cortes.
Further legitimacy was restored to Juan Carlos' position on 14 May 1977, when his father, Don Juan (whom many monarchists had recognized as the legitimate, exiled King of Spain during the Franco era), formally renounced his claim to the Throne and recognized his son as the sole head of the Spanish Royal House, transferring to him the historical heritage of the Spanish monarchy, thus making Juan Carlos both the de facto and the de jure (rightful) king in the eyes of the traditional monarchists. Juan Carlos, who had already been King since Franco's death, gave an acceptance address after his father's resignation speech and thanked him by confirming the title of Count of Barcelona that Don Juan had assumed in exile. It was a sovereign title associated to the crown.
An attempted military coup, known as 23-F, occurred on 23 February 1981, when the Cortes were seized by members of the Guardia Civil in the parliamentary chamber. During the coup, the king, dressed as Captain-General of the Spanish armed forces, gave a public television broadcast calling for unambiguous support for the legitimate democratic government. The broadcast is believed to be a major factor in foiling the coup. Certainly, in the hours before his speech, he personally called many senior military figures to tell them that he was opposed to the coup and that they must defend the democratic government while on his orders his staff refused to put leaders of the coup through to him on the phone. The coup leaders had promised many of their potential supporters that they were acting in the King's name and with his approval but were able to demonstrate neither and the broadcast - coming just after midnight on the night of the coup - definitively showed the King's opposition to the coup makers.
When Juan Carlos became king, Communist leader Santiago Carrillo nicknamed him Juan Carlos the Brief, predicting that the monarchy would soon be swept away with the other remnants of the Franco era. After the collapse of the attempted coup mentioned above, however, in an emotional statement, Carrillo told television viewers: "God save the king." The Communist leader also remarked: "Today, we are all monarchists." If public support for the monarchy among democrats and leftists before 1981 had been limited, following the king's handling of the coup, it became significantly greater. According to a poll in the newspaper El Mundo in November 2005, 77.5% of Spaniards thought Juan Carlos was "good or very good", 15.4% "not so good", and only 7.1% "bad or very bad". Even so, the issue of the monarchy re-emerged on 28 September 2007 as photos of the king were burnt in public in Catalonia by small groups of protesters wanting the restoration of the Republic.[14]
In July 2000, Juan Carlos was the target of an enraged protester when Juan María Fernández y Krohn,[15] who had previously tried to take the life of Pope John Paul II, began shouting "Murderer! Murderer!" at the king and then approached him in a very threatening manner.
Role in contemporary Spanish politics[edit]
The election of socialist leader Felipe González to the Spanish prime ministership in 1982 marked the effective end of the King's active involvement in Spanish politics. González would govern for over a decade, and his administration helped consolidate the democratic gains and thus maintained the stability of the nation. While the king is generally reckoned as having a merely ceremonial role in politics, he commands great moral authority as an essential symbol of the country's unity.
Under the constitution, the King has immunity from prosecution in matters relating to his official duties. This is so because every act of the King as such (and not as a citizen) needs to be undersigned by a government official, thus making the undersigner responsible instead of the king. The honour of the Royal Family is specially protected from offences by the Spanish Penal Code. Under this protection, Basque independentist Arnaldo Otegi[16] and cartoonists from El Jueves were tried and punished.
The King gives an annual speech to the nation on Christmas Eve. He is the commander-in-chief of the Spanish armed forces.
When the media asked Juan Carlos in 2005 if he would endorse the bill legalising gay marriage that was then being debated in the Cortes Generales, he answered "Soy el Rey de España y no el de Bélgica" ("I am the King of Spain, not of Belgium") – a reference to King Baudouin I of Belgium, who had refused to sign the Belgian law legalising abortion.[17] The King gave his Royal Assent to Law 13/2005 on 1 July 2005; the law legalising gay marriage was gazetted in the Boletín Oficial del Estado on 2 July, and came into effect on 3 July.[18]
In November 2007, at the Ibero-American Summit in Santiago de Chile, during a heated exchange, Juan Carlos interrupted Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez and asked him, "¿Por qué no te callas?" ("Why don't you shut up?" using the familiar "tu" form of "you" to underline the disdain). Chávez had been interrupting the Spanish Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, while the latter was defending his predecessor and political opponent, José María Aznar, after Chávez had referred to Aznar as a fascist and "less human than snakes". The King shortly afterwards left the hall when President Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua accused Spain of intervention in his country's elections and complained about some Spanish energy companies working in Nicaragua.[19] This was an unprecedented diplomatic incident and a rare display of public anger by the King.[20]
In April 2012, Juan Carlos faced criticism for making an elephant-hunting trip in Botswana.[21][22][23] Spanish officials stated that the expenses of the trip were not paid by taxpayers or by the palace, but by Mohamed Eyad Kayali, a businessman of Syrian origin. Cayo Lara Moya of the United Left party said the king's trip "demonstrated a lack of ethics and respect toward many people in this country who are suffering a lot"[23] while Tomas Gomez of the Socialist party said Juan Carlos should choose between "public responsibilities or an abdication".[24] In April 2012, Spain's unemployment was at 23 percent and nearly 50 percent for young workers.[25] El País estimated the total cost of a hunting trip at 44,000 euros (USD 57,850), about twice the average annual salary in Spain.[25] A petition called for the king to resign from his position as honorary president of the Spanish branch of the World Wide Fund for Nature.[24] The WWF itself responded by asking for an interview with the King to resolve the situation.[26] In July 2012, WWF-Spain held a meeting in Madrid and decided with 226 votes to 13 to remove the king from the honorary presidency.[27][28] He later apologised for the hunting trip.[29]
In September 2012, Juan Carlos met with Bill Clinton in the official inauguration of the Clinton Global Initiative.[citation needed]
Family and private life[edit]
Juan Carlos was married in Athens at the Church of Saint Dennis on 14 May 1962, to HRH Princess Sophia of Greece and Denmark, daughter of King Paul of Greece. She was Greek Orthodox but converted to Roman Catholicism in order to become Spain's queen. Also in 1962, a Roman Catholic wedding was performed in the Pauline Chapel the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome.
They have two daughters and one son.
- Infanta Elena María Isabel Dominica, Duchess of Lugo (born 20 December 1963)
- Infanta Cristina Federica Victoria Antonia, Duchess of Palma de Mallorca (born 13 June 1965)
- Felipe Juan Pablo Alfonso de Todos los Santos, Prince of Asturias (born 30 January 1968)
In 1972, Juan Carlos, a keen sailor, competed in the Dragon class event at the Olympic Games, finishing 15th. In their summer holidays, the whole family meets in Marivent Palace (Palma de Mallorca) and the Fortuna yacht, where they take part in sailing competitions. The king has manned the Bribón series of yachts. In winter, the family often go skiing in Baqueira-Beret and Candanchú (Pyrenees).
Juan Carlos also hunts bears; in October 2004, he angered environmental activists by killing nine bears (one of which was a pregnant female) in central Romania.[30] It was alleged by the Russian regional authorities that in August 2006 Juan Carlos shot a drunken tame bear (Mitrofan the Bear) during a private hunting trip to Russia. The Office of the Spanish Monarchy denied this claim.[31]
Juan Carlos and Sofía are fluent in several languages, speaking Spanish, English, and French. The King also speaks fluent Portuguese and Italian, and the Queen speaks German and her native Greek.
Juan Carlos is also an amateur radio operator and holds the call sign EA0JC. His custom of incognito motorbike riding has raised urban legends of people finding him on lonely roads. For example, one story says that a biker out of petrol stranded on a hot sunny day was assisted by a fellow motorcyclist, who returned with a small container of petrol. The good Samaritan, on removing his helmet, turned out to be Juan Carlos.
Juan Carlos is member of the World Scout Foundation[32] and of the Sons of the American Revolution.
His own net worth is estimated at US$5 million; the Royal Family had a net worth of over $1.7 billion as of December 2011.[33][34]
A benign 17-19mm tumour was removed under general anaesthetic from King Juan Carlos' right lung in an operation carried out in the "Hospital Clínic" of Barcelona in May 2010. The operation followed an annual check-up, and Juan Carlos was not expected to need any further treatment.
In April 2012 the King underwent surgery for a triple fracture of the hip at the San Jose Hospital, Madrid, following a fall on a private elephant-hunting trip to Botswana.[35] He also underwent a hip operation in September 2013 at Madrid's Quirón hospital.[36]
Budget of the royal house[edit]
After the King's son-in-law Iñaki Urdangarín was accused of corruption (the "Urdangarín affair"), the King in 2011 for the first time detailed the yearly royal budget of 8.3 million euro, excluding expenses such as the electricity bill, paid by the State.[37][38]
Titles, styles, honours and arms[edit]
- 5 January 1938 – 21 July 1969: His Royal Highness The Infante Juan Carlos of Spain
- 15 January 1941 – 22 November 1975: His Royal Highness The Prince of Asturias
- 21 July 1969 – 22 November 1975: His Royal Highness The Prince of Spain
- 22 November 1975 – present: His Majesty The King
The King's style and title in full: His Majesty Juan Carlos the First, By the Grace of God, the King of Spain, King of Castile, of León, of Aragon, of the Two Sicilies, of Jerusalem, of Navarre, of Granada, of Seville, of Toledo, of Valencia, of Galicia, of Sardinia, of Córdoba, of Corsica, of Murcia, of Jaén, of the Algarves, of Algeciras, of the Canary Islands, of the East and West Indies, of the Islands and Mainland of the Ocean Sea; Archduke of Austria; Duke of Burgundy, of Brabant, of Milan, of Athens and Neopatria; Count of Habsburg, of Flanders, of Tyrol, of Roussillon, and of Barcelona; Lord of Biscay and of Molina de Aragón; Captain General and Supreme Commander of the Royal Armed Forces; Sovereign Grand Master of the Order of the Golden Fleece and of the orders awarded by the Spanish state. The current Spanish constitution refers to the monarchy as "the Crown of Spain" and the constitutional title of the monarch is simply Rey/Reina de España: that is, "king/queen of Spain". The constitution allows for the use of other historic titles pertaining to the Spanish monarchy, without specifying them. A decree promulgated 6 November 1987 at the Council of Ministers regulates the titles further, and on that basis the monarch of Spain has a right to use ("may use") those other titles. The long titulary that contains the list of over 20 kingdoms, etc., is not in state use, nor is it used in Spanish diplomacy. It has never been in use in that form, as "Spain" was never a part of the list in pre-1837 era when the long list was officially used.
This feudal style was last used officially in 1836, in the titulary of Isabella II before she became constitutional Queen.
Juan Carlos's titles include that of King of Jerusalem, as successor to the royal family of Naples.
Titles in official use[edit]
The titles associated with the Spanish Crown are these:[39]
- King of Spain, of Castile, of León, of Aragon, of the Two Sicilies (Naples and Sicily), of Jerusalem, of Navarre, of Granada, of Toledo, of Valencia, of Galicia, of Majorca, of Seville, of Sardinia, of Córdoba, of Corsica, of Murcia, of Minorca, of Jaén, of the Algarves, of Algeciras, of the Canary Islands, and of the East Indies and West Indies, of the Islands and Mainland of the Ocean Sea;
- Archduke of Austria;
- Duke of Burgundy, of Brabant, of Milan, of Athens, and of Neopatra (New Patras);
- Count of Habsburg, of Flanders, of Tyrol, of Roussillon, and of Barcelona;
- Lord of Biscay, and of Molina.
- Etc..[40]
King Juan Carlos is a direct descendant of many famous European rulers from several countries. He is a descendant of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom through his grandmother, Victoria Eugenie; of Louis XIV of France through the House of Bourbon; of the Emperor Charles V, who was a member of the Habsburg dynasty of the Holy Roman Empire. The Capetian dynasty, to which he also belongs, is the oldest in Europe. Some of his distant ancestors include Joan, Duchess of Burgundy and queen consort of Philip VI of France. He is a descendant of Marie Leszczyńska, daughter of King Stanisław Leszczyński of Poland, and Queen Consort of France through an unbroken line of Bourbon princesses who married within the Bourbon house. He is also a descendant of the first kings during the Reconquista, as descendant of the kings of Castile and León, and through him the Visigothic kings. The King is a direct descendent of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. He is a direct descendant through the male line of Robert of Hesbaye (770–807). Other ancestors, albeit not through a direct line, include William the Conqueror and Charlemagne.

Patrilineal descent[edit]
|Patrilineal descent
Juan Carlos' patriline is the line from which he is descended father to son.
Patrilineal descent is the principle behind membership in royal houses, as it can be traced back through the generations, which means that Juan Carlos I is a member of the House of Bourbon, the senior-surviving cadet branch of the Capetian dynasty.

I was so excited about a cushion without ties that tear off and Velcro tabs that aren't strong enough to keep the cushions in place. Alas, I was disappointed. The cushions are thick enough, and they don't slide off when you sit on them, but when you leave the table, they land on the floor. Back to the drawing boards, folks, for a non-slip cushion.
Thicker than we expected--very comfortable and seems to be holding up well. Nonslip works great.
I've had these pads for a month now. Althought they look nice, they are becoming quite flat quickly, so I feel the quality isn't quite there.
I bought these to replace standard cushions on our kitchen set. They are thick, and comfortable. They are a good size so the cushion hangs over the front of the chair a few inches. However even though the cushions do have anti-slip "dots" on the back, mine slip off the chair very easily.
Am very disappointed with these pillows. Immediately, they lost their shape and have become floppy. Color is mediocre. My old cushions are firmer and still hve their shape. Am going to try to rturn. Have always had luck with Overstock, This is the firt time the product and material is inferior
The cushions are really thick and soft but do not stick to the chair very well or at all.
unfortunately my chairs have a slope but these are perfect for chairs with a flat seat
Nice bigger size to fit over sized kitchen chairs - thick with plenty of padding and non slip bottom.
I wanted a seat pad that has enough support and this set does just that. Even my husband was pleased with this purchase.
These cushions are very thick and plush. They make my wooden kitchen chairs very comfortable and the backing keeps them in place.

The splendour of AGRA – India's capital under the Mughals – remains undiminished, from the massive fort to the magnificent Taj Mahal. Along with Delhi, 204km northwest, and Jaipur in Rajasthan, Agra is the third apex of the "Golden Triangle", India's most popular tourist itinerary. It fully merits that status; the Taj effortlessly transcends all the frippery and commercialism that surrounds it, and continues to have a fresh and immediate impact on all who see it. That said, Agra city itself can be an intense experience, even for seasoned India hands. The traffic pollution is appalling (some mornings you can barely see the sun through the fog of fumes), and as a tourist you'll have to contend with crowds at the major monuments, high admission fees and some of Asia's most persistent touts, commission merchants and rickshaw-wallahs. Don't, however, let this put you off. Although it's possible to see Agra on a day-trip from Delhi, the Taj alone deserves so much more – a fleeting visit would miss the subtleties of its many moods, as the light changes from sunrise to sunset – while the city's other sights and Fatehpur Sikri can easily fill several days.
Agra is huge and disorienting. There's no real "centre", but rather a series of self-contained bazaar districts embedded within the formless urban sprawl, which stretches over an area of well over twenty square kilometres. Most of the city's major Mughal monuments are lined up along the banks of the Yamuna River, which bounds the city's eastern edge, including the Taj Mahal. Clustered around the Taj, the tangled little streets of Taj Ganj are home to most of the city's cheap accommodation and backpacker cafés. A couple of kilometres to the west, on the far side of the leafy Cantonment area, lies Sadar Bazaar, linked to Taj Ganj by Fatehabad Road, where you'll find many of the city's smarter places to stay, as well as numerous restaurants and crafts emporia. Northwest of Taj Ganj lies Agra Fort and, beyond, the third of the city's main commercial districts, Kinari Bazaar, centred on the massive Jama Masjid.
The monuments in Agra date from the later phase of Mughal rule and the reigns of Akbar, Jahangir and Shah Jahan – exemplifying the ever-increasing extravagance which, by Shah Jahan's time, had already begun to strain the imperial coffers and sow the seeds of political and military decline.
Brief History
Little is known of the pre-Muslim history of Agra, but a 1080 AD account describes a robust fort here, with a flourishing city strategically placed at the crossroads between the north and the centre of India. Agra remained a minor administrative centre until 1504, when the Delhi Sultan, Sikandar Lodi, moved his capital here to keep a check on the warring factions of his empire. The ruins of his city can still be seen on the Yamuna River's east bank. After defeating the last Lodi sultan, Ibrahim Lodi, at Panipat in 1526, Babur, the founder of the Mughal empire, sent ahead his son Humayun to capture Agra. In gratitude for their benevolent treatment at his hands, the family of the Raja of Gwalior rewarded the Mughal with jewellery and precious stones – among them the legendary Koh-i-noor Diamond, now among Britain's crown jewels.
Agra saw its heyday under Humayun's son, Akbar the Great (1556–1605), when Agra Fort was built, and it remained the empire's capital for over a century. Even when Shah Jahan, Jahangir's son and successor, built a new city in Delhi – Shahjahanabad, now known as Old Delhi – his heart remained in Agra. He pulled down many of the earlier red-sandstone structures in the fort, replacing them with his trademark – exquisite marble buildings. The empire flourished under his successor Aurangzeb (1658–1707), although his intolerance towards non-Muslims stirred up a hornets' nest. Agra was occupied successively by the Jats, the Marathas, and eventually the British.
After the 1857 uprising, the city lost the headquarters of the government of the Northwestern Provinces and the High Court to Allahabad and went into a period of decline. Its Mughal treasures have ensured its survival, and today the city is once again prospering, as an industrial and commercial centre as well as a tourist destination.Read More

Akbar's mausoleum: Sikandra
Akbar's mausoleum: Sikandra
Given the Mughal tradition of magnificent tombs, it is no surprise that the mausoleum of the most distinguished Mughal ruler was one of the most ambitious structures of its time. Akbar's mausoleum borders the side of the main highway to Mathura at SIKANDRA, 10km northwest of Agra. Rickshaws charge at least Rs120 for the round trip, or you could hop on a Mathura-bound bus from Agra Fort Bus Stand.
The complex is entered via its huge Buland Darwaza (Great Gate), surmounted by four tapering marble minarets, and overlaid with marble and coloured tiles in repetitive geometrical patterns, bearing the Koranic inscription "These are the gardens of Eden, enter them and live forever". Through the gateway, extensive, park-like gardens are divided by fine raised sandstone walkways into the four equal quadrants of the typical Mughal charbagh design. Langur monkeys may be seen along the path, while deer roam through the tall grasses, just as they do in the Mughal miniature paintings dating from the era when the tomb was constructed, lending the whole place a magically peaceful and rural atmosphere.
The mausoleum itself sits in the middle of the gardens, at the centre of the charbagh and directly in front of Buland Darwaza. The entire structure is one of the strangest in Mughal Agra, its huge square base topped not by the usual dome but by a three-storey open-sided sandstone construction crowned with a solid-looking marble pavilion. The mishmash design may be attributable to Jahangir, who ordered changes in the mausoleum's design halfway through its construction, Akbar himself having neglected to leave finished plans for his mausoleum. By the standards of India's other Mughal buildings, it's architecturally a failure, but not without a certain whimsical charm, and much of the inlay work around the lower storey is exquisite.
A high marble gateway in the mausoleum's southern facade frames an elaborate lattice screen shielding a small vestibule painted with rich sea-blue frescoes and Koranic verses. From here a ramp leads down into a large, echoing and absolutely plain subterranean crypt, lit by a single skylight, in the centre of which stands Akbar's grave, decorated with the pen-box motif, the symbol of a male ruler, which can also be seen on Shah Jahan's tomb in the Taj Mahal.
Off the road on the opposite side, a kilometre north of Sikandra, lies the altogether more modest Mariam's tomb, the mausoleum of Akbar's wife and Jahangir's mother Mariam Zamani.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We picked the tan option and had not yet taken engagement pics so we used pics of some shells and of "save the date" written in the sand. The paper quality was better than expected. Perfect size. Overall design is perfect for our wedding: destination, beachy, laid-back. Only slightly negative comment that I have is about the font size limitations for certain rows in the design template (which I knew about before purchasing), however I was able to make it work. Our save the dates came out beautifully!"
"Card was simply beautiful. We changed the color of the image to black as we didn't care for the brown that it originally came with. I can't wait for our guests to receive them."
"This save he date postcard was perfect for our destination wedding. The paper quality is excellent; which was a relief since they are not protected by an envelope. The proof was provided within 1 or 2 days and we received within 5 days of confirming the proof. There are not any other matching products, but this was not important to us."
"My fiance and I got save the dates and they turned out beautiful - we love them! We are definitely ordering our invitations through Wedding Paper Divas!"
"We "eloped at home" and honeymooned away, but wanted to let friends and family know; we thought these postcard announcements were a great idea that fit our "casual" approach well. We chose the "standard" blue background, but modified the font choices to fit our style. It turned out beautifully! We love to travel and thought this design was a great fit. As long as you are quick to respond to/approve the proof, you can get your order on time or even earlier. We were pleased with both the product and the service."

This is the perfect play-yard!! The size is perfect, not to small or to big. The quality should cost much more, the material is very thick and cushioned, nothing cheap here. Compact, easy to put up and take down, folds very easily, great for taking on trips, camping or to use in a room other than the nursery. The colors are boy or girl friendly and pretty. Adjustable as baby grows, I love this feature, the mobile is just what the baby needs as she loves to watch it move. You will be very happy if you purchase this, I AM!!
This is a great product, but I was looking for a better price on O.com. The MSRP is about $89, not $149 as listed on the site.
Although our baby has not arrived yet I am very happy with the travel crib. My wife and I wanted something sturdier than a traditional bassinet as we have 2 large dogs. Most bassinets seemed wobbily when we were looking at store displays. The travel crib is very sturdy and the bassinet pad is thicker than other travel cribs/pack and plays we looked at. It is easy to set up and easy to change the height of bassinet insert.
I found this product of great quality and works great. The size is perfect for use in our bedroom without taking up a large amount of space. It is light and portable and fits through door frames as a full size play yard will not. The fact that it can be used up to 20 pounds instead of the regular 15 pounds is great. I love this and am glad that I had purchased this for a bassinet and it will fit great in our holiday trailer. I would buy again.
Love this little bassinet! We wanted something small and portable for our baby who is due in September. We also wanted something that was high enough off the ground that our 80 pound dog couldn't "visit" the baby too easily. Our baby will likely be sleeping in our bedroom for the first couple of months, and this fit the bill perfectly! I put it together in about 10-15 minutes (Im 7 months pregnant). It rolls well and the bassinet portion actually seems pretty padded; not overly so, it's firm, but we're going to order the Summers Infant waterproof bassinet pad to put inside to provide some protection for the bassinet pad that came with the bassinet. Only complaint so far -- I wish the bassinet portion was waterproof and/or came with a washable cover. Not a huge deal, but it would be a lot more convenient if we didn't have to purchase a waterproof pad to put inside. It rolls easily around the house on both carpet and wood floors and is pretty quick and simple to break down and travel with. Overall I love this and I can't wait to use it in September!
Packaging was great, price was wonderful in comparsion to department stores. Purchased for my grandson, love it!
Satisfied! Product as expected and on-time delivery!
We bought this to go in our room until we move our little one to a crib. It's the perfect size and height. It takes up about the room of two nightstands next to my bed. Setup was quick and easy. The hood didn't really curve around like in the picture but we probably won't use it that much anyway. The bears were cute until someone pointed out that they look like they're being hung. So, we might replace them with something else as their only Velcro on. Otherwise we love it and the wheels are nice to move from room to room.
I purchase this as gift,mom and dad were very pleased with this crib.Very easy to setup and great on saving space.This was a great buy.

What about the many cases of where there is a CP and there is a NCP that is absentee and not all that interested?Cut off the funds to the kiddo if the CP doesn't properly file all their appropriate papers on time? Seems like yet another layer of useless bureaucratic overhead.

Would Steve Jobs have released Maps?October 2, 2012: 7:35 AM ET
The most asked question about Apple's mapping debacle is the hardest one to answer.FORTUNE -- Over and over the past few days people want to ask me the identical question: Would Apple's Maps snafu have happened if Steve Jobs were alive?
I respond that I'll give them the easy answer first -- no -- but that I've got to give them the longer answer too. Because with Apple (AAPL), nothing is as straightforward as you might think. The real analysis is more nuanced than the obvious speculation that Steve Jobs would have realized Apple's maps weren't up to snuff and held them back from public launch.
First, an observation: Apple users always have been a rambunctious bunch. Back in the day, the Mac faithful were always complaining about something: some bug, some feature that didn't work as well as they'd like, and so on. They complained because they were passionate about the Mac in a way the majority of PC users never would have been. They loved their Mac, so they nitpicked about its shortcomings. And Apple typically listened, fixing the inadequacy in the next go-round, or the one after that.
MORE: iPad mini invitations set to be mailed out Oct. 10
What's different is that, relatively speaking, there weren't very many Mac faithful and the rest of the world didn't much care one way or the other. They were a few millions souls, and Apple was a modestly successful company with low-single-digit market share in one market, personal computers.
That's all changed today. A hundred million users have downloaded iOS 6, Apple's latest mobile operating system, the one with the maps that put the Washington Monument in the wrong place. In other words, the stakes have changed. We're all Apple faithful now, and not just iPhone users. It's the rare sentient adult -- or child -- who doesn't own an iPod, iPad or iPhone. Mac notebooks achieved 27% U.S. market share last quarter, Apple recently reported. So now the debate is more charged: More users, more complainers, orders of magnitude of more importance when something goes wrong. And in this case, there's no dispute that something went horribly wrong, or Apple CEO Tim Cook wouldn't have apologized for it.
But would Steve Jobs have allowed this to happen? Well, there were plenty of similar screw-ups on his watch. It's now famous how he reamed the MobileMe team for its goof in launching a not-ready-for-prime-time service. Less commented on is that Jobs himself had every opportunity to stop MobileMe before its launch. Furthermore, Jobs didn't really get upset until the criticism began in earnest from high-profile product reviewers. In at least that instance, Jobs seemed to care more about Apple's image than he did about its (possibly sub-optimal) product.

There were other botched efforts. Antennagate over the iPhone 4 is a good example, though Jobs hilariously blamed Apple users for not using their phone correctly rather than apologizing as Cook did. (Some have criticized Cook for showing weakness. That's nonsense. Good for him for owning up to a mistake.)
The list goes on: Ping, the failed iTunes music-sharing service, happened while Jobs was around. So did early iPhone pricing controversies, the Power Mac G4 Cube, and insufficiently scratch-resistant displays on the iPod Nano.
As I wrote in my book Inside Apple, however, for more than a decade Apple's relatively minor failures paled in comparison to its stunning successes. As well, Apple, partly through powerful, focused marketing, partly through the raw charisma of Steve Jobs, masterfully convinced the media and consumers not to focus on the slip-ups and instead to marvel at the achievements. Pay no attention to what's happening behind the screen, says the Wizard of Oz!

All that is changing the Apple. The wizard is gone. The size and complexity of the company and the scrutiny from a massively bigger user base are nothing like what they were when Steve Jobs sprung the iTunes Music Store on a delighted public and a stunned music industry. Competitors and partners are scrutinizing Apple far more carefully today than ever before too. We're essentially beginning to catch on to their tricks, and that can't be easy for a group of magicians operating under a cloak of stealth.
Some context is important. Do botched maps constitute the beginning of the apocalypse for Apple? Maybe, maybe not. We don't know. It's way too early to say. Meanwhile, the company sells millions more iPhones than ever before and continues generating cash at unseen rates. If Apple is finished, it's a pretty robust way to be done.
In review, it's impossible and perhaps even foolish to speculate on what someone who isn't around anymore would have done. But there's still one niggling thought about the current crop running Apple. It was obvious to anyone who was watching that Apple's maps weren't going to be good. Developers knew this since June, when Apple released its tool kit for them to build applications for iOS 6. (We discussed it at Fortune Brainstorm Tech in Aspen in late July). As Scott Forstall, the executive in charge of iOS, said on Sept. 12, Apple built its maps from the "ground up," and people in the mapping dodge will tell you, mapping the world is a massive undertaking. Even mighty Google (GOOG) took a good five years to catch up to AOL's (AOL) then-dominant Mapquest service.
So the uncomfortable question is this: If Apple knew its maps weren't going to be very good, why did it release them? A scarier question: Was Apple unaware its maps, a product it knew very well its customers use every day, had so many deficiencies? To be unaware of product flaws before a public launch speaks to an unfocused and arrogant organization. Because Apple is so secretive, it lacks the feedback mechanism of companies that are more willing to share their products on a pre-launch basis with trusted partners and users. To understand the answers to these questions would give you a real sense of where Apple is today, almost one year after the death of Steve Jobs.
I called Apple to ask these questions. Apple had no comment. Some things haven't changed.

It's another hymn of an evening down here in Anaheim, the French Riviera of freeways. Took a mere two hours to drive from L.A., which exceeds the capacity of many bladders. Fortunately, the kid in the back seat fell asleep in Azusa of all places, or the trip might've verged on the unpleasant.
So on this perfect May evening when everything smells of grilled meats and mowed grass, the Angels had me at halo.
What's to make of these Angels? Is there a better lineup in baseball? Is there a bigger disappointment in all of sports? (And don't say Lakers — too easy.)
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
I still like this Mike Scioscia, I still like his lineup, but keep in mind that half of all marriages don't work out. This may be one of them.
By his very girth, Albert Pujols appears to still be the team's main event. A very big man, he resembles something Burger King serves with a side of fries. Brilliant swing, funny stance. Like a carnival ride setting up. Like a spider taking a swing at his proctologist.
To me, it's always a little dark down here in Anaheim, and I can't quite figure out if it's the orientation of the stadium toward the setting sun, a bad lighting system, or all those dark green seats, but it's as if the lights here are on some sort of dimmer the grounds crew forgot to crank up all the way.
The sound system works, though. I mean it really works. Am I yelling? Sorry. Ridiculously loud rock music will not be the downfall of baseball; it's too grand for that. But ridiculously loud rock music can ruin an otherwise splendid fan experience. In the second inning, I lost two fillings.
By the way, Thunder Sticks. I hereby offer a $12-billion reward for the capture of the person responsible for Thunder Sticks, the single most annoying sports development since Chris Berman. Bring this madman to my doorstep.
For, you can rail all you want at genetically engineered foods, or the way cable companies bundle things, but if you want to make a difference in the world, win the Nobel Peace Prize for instance, or just leave the planet better than you found it, taking a solid stand against Thunder Sticks is the best way to start.
Before you spend that $12-billion booty ahead of time, please keep in mind I'm bankrupt, fiscally and morally. But don't let that deter you in your quest for greatness.
At the Trout Farm, the new fan seating area, they call these horrid noisemakers Fish Sticks, which is actually fairly clever, if you're into clever.
The Angels now have this special section, down by the left-field foul pipe, where you get Fish Sticks and a Trout Farm T-shirt with your ticket. It's in celebration of their boy wonder, Mike Trout, the best thing to happen to baseball since hot dogs met mustard.
The night we were there during the Orioles series, Trout was actually in center field. We could barely see him, except at the plate, where after a typically brilliant at-bat in which he drew a walk — but still, a baserunner in Anaheim these days almost merits a call from the White House — he forgot to slide into home.
You might've seen the photo the next day, of Mr. Baseball not sliding into home on a tight play, and being tagged out by the Baltimore catcher. When you look back on this season — what went wrong, where we might have done better — you can look at that moment when the grittiest Angel failed to do what most 8-year-old baserunners do spontaneously: fall down and stick your sticks out.
My man crush on this Trout may have to wait another season.
Of note, meanwhile, down in can't-get-there-from-here Angel Stadium is a plethora of family-friendly food choices, all priced about two bucks less than anything the Dodgers offer. There is a children's hot dog: $2.50. There are peanuts: $3. A beer for $4.
A $4 beer at a ballpark? What is this world coming to?
"You get what you pay for," you're probably saying, and yes, our Dodgers do have a few high-end expenses these days, hence the higher prices.
But "you get what you pay for" doesn't carry as much weight as it used to around these parts.
Because here, in the nation's most free-spending sports market, lately you really don't.
