Dear Stoner: How Do I Change My Name on My Purple Card?
Dear Stoner: I recently changed my name, and I need to change it on my purple card. What's the easiest way to do that?
Dear Jennifer: Way to be on top of things. Even if you're stoned, it's really not that complicated to change your name on your medical card, and it's a relative breeze compared to your first application. All you have to do is go to the Medical Marijuana Registry web page, click on "Forms," and print out a "Change of Patient Records" form, which will alert the state to your new moniker. You'll need an updated Colorado driver's license and proof of Social Security number, and the completed form will have to be notarized. It should take about five weeks for the state to process the change.
Dear Stoner: Where can a non-Colorado resident smoke marijuana?
Dear Dee: A non-Colorado resident can smoke in the same places that a Colorado resident can: any home or residence in which the owner allows it. You cannot consume in any public areas, inside or outside, or inside your car (even if it's parked). Consuming in a hotel depends on the owner; there are some hotels and bed-and-breakfasts in the state that not only allow marijuana, but embrace it. Because of the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act, however, most hotels that allow consumption restrict it to vaping and edibles; some have an outdoor patio for smoking. Learn more about marijuana laws at westword.com/marijuana/laws, and go to the Colorado Cannabis Tours website for a list of pot-friendly lodgings.
Dear Stoner: Where can I find cheap glassware?
Joe John
Dear JJ: Plenty of head shops offer affordable glassware (stick to the north and west ends of Denver), and some dispensaries routinely have sales — but neither of those options have deals that consistently compare to those online. For example, you can find a nine-inch oil rig at marijuanapackaging.com for under $40 after shipping, and dhgate.com has fifteen-inch bongs with multiple percolators for under $50. They might not be made with the same love and quality you'd see in a Hurricane, but they'll definitely get the job done on a budget.

Why I take youngsters into the hell of the Shoah
Morris Gleitzman on what inspired him to embark upon a series of Holocaust books for children
When children's author Morris Gleitzman read the biography of Janusz Korczak, he was so inspired by the doctor's selfless acts that it became "one of the catalysts" for his writing a series of books about the Holocaust.
He began with Once (2006) and continues in Then. "I had wanted to write a story about love and friendship — two examples of the best we're capable of — and place them within the context of our very worst behaviour." Korczak's experience helped him to focus on this as a writing goal.
Then picks up the story of Felix, a 10-year-old Jewish boy, and Zelda, a Polish girl, as they continue their struggle to survive the Nazis. In his softly spoken Australian lilt, Gleitzman explains that he had been aware of a distant connection to this period in history — one of his grandfathers had lived in Cracow and left in the early 20th century. Those relatives who remained perished in the Holocaust. However, his interest grew once he started extensive research and therefore "it did become a personal journey".
Gleitzman acknowledges that writing Then elicited a strong response in him; in fact, both books proved to be the most emotional writing experience he has had. He believes that any author writing a story for younger readers that is set in the Holocaust "has got some very important questions to answer in terms of just how much of that time do you try to represent".
He chose to provide author's notes to make it clear that the story is a work of fiction; his "imagination trying to grasp the unimaginable". He also lists source material on his website to enable readers to try and acquaint themselves with some of the testimonies available. His strong wish is that the series serves as a starting point to "encountering the voices and words of real people".
In fact, the book has been used in classrooms in Australia both as an introduction to the Holocaust and as an additional text for students who have already read primary sources.
The question of when it is appropriate for children to read material which exposes "the very worst of human behaviour" has been the subject of a few negative responses Gleitzman has received. But his perception is that "in this media-drenched world" children can access the material in any event.
Gleitzman's aim is that readers will "connect emotionally with Felix and Zelda and form their own friendship with them". Above all, Gleitzman wants the reader to understand that "our capacity for love and friendship is as powerful as our capacity for evil and destruction".

Ok, so this mainly is to Seddiers and Creddiers but any ship may read.
Seddiers: Why do you love Seddie? (I can think of tons of reasons why I do.) Why don't you like Creddie? (Creddie...*shudder*)
Creddiers: Why do you love Creddie? Why don't you like Seddie?
Me: I love Seddie because I love love/hate relationships. I think when couples get along too well, well, it gets a little digusting. Love/Hate relationships show the perfct amount of love, but you still act like you did before you were dating, to each other. I'm not talking about abusive relationships. I'm talking about having fun with your bf/gf and not having to act all romantically to each other. Especially when other people are around. I dislike Creddie because they get along too well. I stated why I don't like that above ^^. They also look like siblings. So if they had kids, they'd all look Jewish! Brown hair and brown eyes galore! But if Sam and Freddie had kids. They could be: Blonde hair blue eyes, blonde hair brown eyes, brown hair blue eyes, or brown hair brown eyes. Creddie also seems to mushy gushy to me.
So I wanna hear from you!

Kingdom of Aksum
Armah (reigned 614–631) was a king of the Kingdom of Aksum. He is primarily known through the coins that were minted during his reign.[1] However, it has been suggested as long ago as 1895 that he was identical to Ashama ibn-Abjar or Sahama, who gave shelter to the Muslim emigrants around 615-6 at Axum.
Munro-Hay states that either Armah or Gersem were the last Axumite kings to issue coins. In either case, no gold coins of Armah have been found, and Munro-Hay speculates that "he had accepted that there was no purpose in producing them, as his kingdom was by now at least in part cut off from the Byzantine trade network."
Armah's silver coins have an unusual reverse, showing a structure with three crosses, the middle one gilded. Munro-Hay quotes W.R.O. Hahn as suggesting that this is an allusion to the Holy Sepulchre, as a reference to the Persian capture of Jerusalem in 614; if this is correct, it provides a date for Armah.[2]
- ^ A letter to Antoine d'Abbadie, dated 8 January 1869, mentions a coin of this ruler. Sven Rubenson, Acta Aethiopica, vol 3: Internal Rivalries and Foreign Threats, 1869-1879 (Addis Ababa: University Press, 2000), p. 3
- ^ This article is based on S. C. Munro-Hay's discussion in his Aksum: An African Civilization of Late Antiquity (Edinburgh: University Press, 1991), p. 91.

I haven't read Fifty Shades of Grey. My plan was to take the paperback on holiday and read it in the pool, where it wouldn't matter if it got wet (the book, I mean) and wouldn't be too hard to get to grips with (again, the book).
In the end, I bought it on my kindle because I couldn't bear the idea of anyone seeing me holding a copy – not that I'm being prudish about the raunch factor, but because Fifty Shades is widely agreed to be about as literary as Anusol. And even in this covert form, I still didn't read it.
I needn't have worried. All the other people in the pool were German, and according to Sex Stories: 50 Shades of Grey (Channel 4, Sunday), such is the demand in Germany for this particular tube of Anusol, it has been reprinted six times. (Insert joke about Teutonics being anally retentive here.)
There is a high-minded minority who disdain the sort of programming that surfs the wave of an imagination-gripping cultural event by inviting talking heads to spew forth about it and cutting in a saucy voiceover. But I have absolutely no problem with it – it saved me the hassle of reading the book after all, and provided diverting, sexy, black-and-white entr'actes that actually looked like real people doing real sex. Which is a whole lot more titillating than what goes on in the book, by all accounts.
"I read it in TWO DAYS. And that was full-time reading," explained the luscious-lipped Amy Childs from TOWIE, reclining on a chaise longue wearing a pair of high-heeled shoes that look more painful than the genital clamps so well-used by the protagonists. "It's the sexiest book I've ever read."
So it's safe to assume Amy Childs has never read Anais Nin. But perhaps we could have deduced so much without necessarily watching the programme.
Nevertheless, Sex Stories featured a winsome collection of pundits, including Rachel Johnson, Kathy Lette and Jilly Cooper, whose motivation for commenting on Fifty Shades seemed to be mainly seething jealousy. "Whipping someone's nipples for hours on end just isn't terribly erotic," sniffed Cooper, no doubt feeling a bit sore – not from an evening of nipple-whipping, but from the re-appropriation of equestrian equipment from her own novels into this, a novel which has made its author a bunch more money than hers did.
Where there is sex there is always money, and Sex Stories was the perfect showcase for a timely retail survey of exactly how much filthy lucre people are now spending on filthy things. "Whips, blinds, handcuffs… Sales are up by 30 to 70 per cent," an Ann Summers shopgirl tells us. A clip from a behind-the-scenes sales meeting for the store showed a man who looked like a losing candidate from The Apprentice announcing that they've run out of "jiggle balls", but they've got another 90,000 coming in. I had to Google what a jiggle ball was and believe me, you wouldn't want to experience that many of them at any one time.
Time for an expert opinion, and a trip to somewhere that looked like Little Gidding to find out what goes on behind the closed doors of a suburban couple who indulge in BDSM.
"I've spent a certain amount of time being in control," she explained over footage of her hanging out the washing and dishing up tea (meatballs). "I'm most happy when I'm not in control – it's a relaxing place to be."
Given the regularity with which the programme referred to whipping and paddling and not snacking in between meals (this is one of the main clauses in the Fifty Shades contract between dominant and submissive), "relaxing" is not the word I would have used. "Relaxing" is not, presumably, how it would feel if you knew there were 90,000 jiggle balls heading for an intimate space that the Erotic Review's Rowan Pelling had just referred to as "Hades".
Turning now to another dysfunctional relationship, Geordie gourmands the Hairy Bikers are going on a diet (Hairy Dieters: How to Love Food and Lose Weight, Thursday BBC1). They'd do well to draw up a dominant-submissive contract between themselves and their guts, not so much ruling out snacking between meals but exorcising the dishes of thrice-baked cheese upon which they seem to subsist.
"I love this sort of food," sighed Si (the heavier of the two, at 19 stone and 42 per cent body fat), as they cooked a Last Supper of chicken kiev and cheesecake. "Ner merh stotties fer yoau, my friend!" shrieked Dave at the weigh-in.
Following the adorable pair as they met up with record-breaking slimmers and discovered that food made without butter or salt can still be tasty (it's a four-part series, and I'm convinced that their conclusion will be simply that it's not), was as much of a treat as that salutary kiev.
I think this programme should be government issue: it should be prescribed viewing for fatties and southerners alike, to convince both groups that their lifestyles are bad for their health. Tune in next week to see if Dave can fit into the fancy Italian jeans he bought at the Metro Centre!

We want to thank Warner Gray for doing a brilliant job in selling our home. Right from the start, your expert local knowledge gave us confidence that we had made the right choice. Your judgement about valuation was rightly ambitious on our behalf, and fully justified by the quick sale. It was always a pleasure to deal with the Warner Gray team, who were unfailingly courteous and efficient, and with that indefinable personal touch. Thank you again.
Mr & Mrs B.
Thank you so much for all the effort in selling our house. As we have not moved for 38 years you cannot imagine how stressful it has been. I cannot praise Claire and the team enough, professional, courteous and countless other qualities which make your Company what it is. You both must be very proud of what you have 'built' excuse the pun ! Thank you

We would recommend WarnerGray to anyone and indeed already have. Our grateful thanks, once again.
Mr and Mrs N.
We would like to say how pleased we are with the service that you have provided over the last few months. We at all times found you friendly, courteous and professional, realistic and perhaps most importantly of all you were successful in that you sold our house. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to others and wish you, in this difficult economic climate every success.
Mr & Mrs W.
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for all you did to help our house sale and purchase. All your hard work was so much appreciated.

Prop Hunt is a game similar to that of Hide-and-Seek, only instead your character assumes the form of furnitures, objects and items, etc.
In Prop Hunt, there is a team of Props [RED] and a team of Hunters [BLUE]. In order for the props to win, all Hunters must die, or the game must run out of time. Glitches exist, such as a snow glitch in cs_office, and some people abuse them on servers to win rounds. In fact, some servers ban props that can get there, as well as rarely banning people who pick an extremely small prop, like a rock.
Some people go around a wall and entrance area to "juke" out Hunters, running between their legs and past them.
Prop Hunt has become a very popular gamemode even becoming so popular as to be found in other games like Minecraft, with gamemodes such as Block Hunt or Hide.

Spurred on by the devastation wrought by the Indian Ocean tsunami that killed almost 300,000 in December, 60 nations are indeed doing something about the weather.
At the World Earth Summit in Brussels Wednesday, the nations are expected to launch a 10-year effort — spearheaded by the USA — to establish a global system that will be a weather watchdog — and much more.
The "Global Earth Observation System of Systems" will not only eyeball extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and tornadoes, but also will improve long-range forecasts, warn about earthquakes and disease outbreaks, spot forest fires and estimate the ecological effects of development and climate change.
The system eventually will tie together weather satellites, ocean buoys that feed warning systems, and individual nations' meteorological monitors into one vast network that will monitor the health of the planet.
"It will take a global effort, and the nations involved have agreed the system will bring major benefits," says retired Vice Adm. Conrad Lautenbacher, summit co-chair and head of the USA's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
India and Indonesia, hardest hit by the tsunami, are among the participating nations.
Such a system can't come soon enough, says George Maul of the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne. At a recent Smithsonian magazine panel in Washington, D.C., Maul and other experts warned that the USA and Caribbean nations are vulnerable to the threat from tsunamis. "It is a matter of 'when' and not 'if,' " says Laura Kong of the UNESCO/IOC International Tsunami Information Center in Hawaii.
Maul called for quick implementation of an improved tsunami warning system along the East Coast, which he says lags behind the earthquake-prone Pacific Northwest, where the threat has long been recognized.
With the global economy growing and the world population expected to increase about 50% over the next five decades, NOAA says the demand for managing water resources and weather prediction is expected to grow tremendously.
In the USA alone, where more than half the population lives within 50 miles of coastlines, the payoffs from such a system could be substantial, NOAA estimates:
• Damage from coastal storms that cost $7 billion a year — 71% of the nationwide storm damage — could be reduced.
• Improving forecasts by just 1 degree would shave at least $1 billion from electricity costs nationwide by helping utilities be better prepared.
• Airplane travel delays costing $1.4 billion annually could be avoided.
Worldwide, the effects could be even more important. Last year, the U.S. Commission on Oceans said fishing grounds and other ocean resources worldwide need better oversight because they are threatened by pollution and overfishing.
And the system would track outbreaks of diseases that threaten the increasingly connected modern world, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) or avian influenza.
Concerns about climate change driven by global warming are fueling proponents of such a system, Lautenbacher says. The Kyoto Protocol, which commits 55 nations to limiting emissions of so-called greenhouse gases, also kicks off Wednesday in Brussels.
The United States is not among the nations taking part in the Kyoto Protocol. The Bush administration's position has been that the economic cost of such limits would be too great.
Global monitoring could better predict long-term effects of climate change, proponents say. In 2001, the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that average surface temperatures could rise 2.6-10.4 degrees by 2100, boosting sea levels.
NOAA says it would be invaluable to understand, for example, how such changes might affect seasonal rains in the American Southwest, where recent news reports have warned of "megadroughts" in coming decades.
There are both technical and political reasons why the network will take 10 years to set up, Lautenbacher acknowledges.
"We have to build trust among governments," he says. Some developing nations, in addition to having more pressing financial needs, have resisted sharing weather and other information out of security concerns. Worldwide, similar concerns have limited links between surface weather stations and satellite observation systems.
And setting up the infrastructure will take time and money.
Take tide gauges. Modern gauges cost only $10,000, but there aren't enough of them in place today to constitute a worldwide network. Once the network is established, setting up warning systems and education plans to take advantage of the bounty of information also will take time.
A lot of effort will go into identifying what warning systems each member nation already possesses, Lautenbacher says. And then the monitoring gaps will have to be assessed.
"We have an area here that is very ripe for development in tying the world together and making it a better place," he says.

text: Europe 22 June 2012 How Nato can help the Greeks Nato should assist Greece in reducing its military expenditure by guaranteeing its security. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML Fifty years ago, the United States and United Kingdom, were so worried about economic and political stability in the eastern Mediterranean they gave massive loans to both Greece and Turkey to strengthen the capital base in both nations. In 1963, America withdrew its anti-Soviet missiles in Turkey and the fledgling European Economic Community offered a future accession partnership to the Turks to anchor the nation firmly within the orbit of western democracy. In 2012, Europe needs to offer financial help to the Greeks but Washington and Nato can play a part in reducing the Greeks' paraonoia – oh no not another Greek word! – about their national security. In addition to the well-reported problems of corruption, clientalism and tax cheating Greece faces other difficulties which no other EU member state shares. The single biggest part of the Greek economy is the shipping industry – representing about seven per cent of the Greek economy. In Britain, the minuscule shipping industry pays 780 million pounds in tax to HMRC. Greek shipping oligarchs pay no tax. The British authorities could help by sending details of Greek oligarchs who have recently purchased Mayfair mansions to get their Euros out of Greece, to the Athens tax authorities. The biggest land and property owner in Greece is the Orthodox church. It pays no tax and its priests and monks also live tax-free. It is time for the Greek religious community to render unto Ceasar that which is Caesar's and pay their dime in tax dues. The other barely known aspect of Greek public spending is the disproportionate amount spent on importing arms from Germany, France and the US. Greece spend 50 per cent more, as a share of its GDP, on arms than Britain, France or Turkey. The reason is the fear that one day there will be conflict with Turkey. Greeks remember, with cause, the Turkish intervention in Cyprus in 1974 when an initial arrival of Turkish soldiers to prevent Greek-Cypriot fascist sympathisants from initiating anti-Turk Srebrenicas turned into a full-scale invasion and annexation of the northern third of the island. Turkish airplanes regularly over-fly Greek islands and with the lure of under-sea energy sources there is tension enough in the region to justify, in Greek eyes, a very high level of military expenditure. So Washington and Nato should now give Greece an unqualified security guarantee that any assault of Greek territorial integrity will be met with full Nato defence capability. Paris and Berlin should tell their arms merchants to roll over payment for Greek defence orders. It is not fully understood that most of the EU money going to Greece arrives in Athens and leaves five minutes later for French and German banks to pay off debt. Only about six billion euros has stayed in Greece. Athens should not be required to send billions to northern European arms manufacturers untll the economic story there has calmed down. Greece also can help with its own regional security. When the Turkish Cypriots voted to accept the UN brokered deal for a settlement for the divided island, Greek Cypriots under the benevolent eye of Athens were whipped up to vote it down. An historic opportunity was lost. Greece could not press for a new settlement on Cyprus based on the Annan plan. Greece could also help stabilize its northern neighbours in the western Balkans by easing its Swiftian rejection of the right of Macedonia to call itself Macedonia and by rejecting the Moscow led campaign to deny recognition to Kosovo. Nearly 100 nations, including all the major democracies now have diplomatic and trade relations with Kosovo and the fiction that the nation will one day revert to rule by Serbia is just that – a myth that Athens should not encourage. The reporting on Greece has almost entirely focused on economic, fiscal and Eurozone aspects of the crisis. But security and diplomatic tools can also be used to help bring stability to Greece and the region. For British Europhobes who have invested all their belief in willing the collapse of the single currency, saving Greece is now to be devoutly not wished for. But wider regional, European and even Atlantic considerations should not want Greece to collapse into the kind of chaos that led to the 1967 military intervention or worse. Helping the Greeks by saying they can reduce arms spending to Turkish or British level while at the same time getting oligarchs and the orthodox church to pay taxes would be part of the process of helping Greece back onto its feet. › Is Germany falling prey to the eurocrisis?

Rye – Scott Brown issued the following statement today on Senator Shaheen's negative attack ad:
"It's disappointing that Senator Shaheen's first ad of the campaign is a negative ad attacking me. When I talk to the people of New Hampshire, they tell me they are concerned about health care, jobs, America's standing in the world and how we can control our debt. Those are the issues I am focused on. Senator Shaheen's negative ads are a sad commentary on just how out of touch she is with the things people care about."

Ask an Italian where in the world they would most like to live, and the odds are that they will say "right here". Indeed, most people – not just Italians – have raved about Italy since tourism began, and to be honest the country really does have it all: one of the most diverse and beautiful landscapes in Europe; the world's greatest hoard of art treasures (many on display in fittingly spectacular cities and buildings); a climate that is on the whole benign; and, most important of all for many, a delicious and authentic national cuisine. The country is not perfect – its historic cities have often been marred by development, and beyond the showpiece sights the infrastructure is visibly straining – but for its places to visit, many of the old clichés still ring true; once you've visited, you may never want to travel anywhere else.
Italy might be the world's most celebrated tourist destination, but it only became a unified state in 1861, and as a result Italians often feel more loyalty to their region than to the nation as a whole – something manifest in its different cuisines, dialects, landscapes and often varying standards of living. However, if there is a single national Italian characteristic, it's to embrace life to the full – in the hundreds of local festivals taking place across the country on any given day to celebrate a saint or the local harvest; in the importance placed on good food; in the obsession with clothes and image; and in the daily ritual of the collective evening stroll or passeggiata – a sociable affair celebrated by young and old alike in every town and village across the country.
There is also the country's enormous cultural legacy: Tuscany alone has more classified historical monuments than any country in the world; there are considerable remnants of the Roman Empire all over the country, notably in Rome itself; and every region retains its own relics of an artistic tradition generally acknowledged to be among the world's richest. Yet if all you want to do is chill out, there's no reason to be put off. There are any number of places to just lie on a beach, from the resorts filled with regimented rows of sunbeds and umbrellas favoured by the Italians themselves, to secluded and less developed spots. And if you're looking for an active holiday, there's no better place: mountains run the country's length – from the Alps and Dolomites in the north right along the Apennines, which form the spine of the peninsula; skiing and other winter sports are practised avidly; and wildlife of all sorts thrives in the country's national parks.

Why do prolifers believe that pre-born human beings are one of us?: Some resources
Given the recent discussions about Planned Parenthood's alleged selling of fetal parts and organs, and the outrage and responses that have ensued, it's important to remind ourselves that opponents of abortion, that is, prolifers, have offered a strong case for their position. It is a case that is almost unanimously ignored by the mainstream media as well as online outlets (e.g, Slate, Salon, Huffington Post, Media Matters, etc.) that seem more gifted at issuing rhetorical flourishes rather than a … [Read more...]
Important article on understanding fetal tissue research by Biola's Scott B. Rae
With all the attention on the Planned Parenthood videos produced by the Center for Medical Progress, it's important that both critics and supporters become better acquainted with the case against the research and medical use of organs and parts procured from dead fetuses resulting from elective abortions. Although published over 20 years ago in Christian Research Journal (Fall 1991), I highly recommend Scott B. Rae's article, "Spare Parts from the Unborn: The Ethics of Fetal Tissue … [Read more...]

Drivers of fuel tanker trucks staged a protest Tuesday and many parked their vehicles near the Refinadora Costarricense de Petróleo plants.
There were fears that the availability of gasoline would dry up at retail outlets, but that did not happen.
Truck drivers finally reached an accord with the Ministerio de Ambiente, Energía y Telecomunicaciones by early evening.
The protest revolved around five technical requirements for delivering fuel. According to the agreement, truckers have through July to meet five requirements. Refinadora will be allowed to conduct tests to show there are no leaks in the tankers.
Truckers wanted the test to be done with petroleum products instead of water elsewhere.
As soon as the one-page agreement was signed, government officials distributed it.

History of Rome-After Ætas ab Brian
|History of Rome (Aeab):
|Terranova (Aeab):
Next was Numerivs Cilo From Hispania Tarraconensis aged 53. He did nothing of consequence, though 20 years into his rule an ADA in Germania Superior developed the first mechanical timepiece, called a cloca, based on the slow unwinding of springs; the face's upper hemisphere was devoted to day hours, and the bottom hemisphere for night hours. This set up regarding day and night hours proved unreliable since the day varies noticeably throughout the year in most provinces, so many thought at first that mechanical timepieces were a needless waste of effort to maintain. The cloca however had the advantage over sundials of not requiring a sun, to face north, or even it to be daytime; as well as better than water clocks with needing only a winding key to keep them running, they also were partially portable while still telling the time. It could make time more standardized and many scholars went to Cilo, advising the usefulness of installing them empire wide. Now in his late 70's, Cilo was weary of the heftily large timepieces and found them useless if they were not part of every city and town, and each was kept wound up, and there were mechanators residing in those cities to maintain the cloca's integrity, and everyone learned how to read one. The ADA would continue work. The cloca at the time lost up to 2 hours a day. Cilo died at 81 in 1361(608).
Quintvs Pompeivs from Scicilia was appointed Caesar at 50. He was not specifically enthused by the cloca but allowed the ADAs to have their time keeping based upon them since they liked them so much. When this was done, it was also found true that even though the cloca were perfectly keeping time (corrected for their losing around 1hr, 45 minutes a day), as they were transported across the empire with the same time, when they arrived at their stations it was found that the local time did not coincide with any of the clocai which travelled east or west a great distance, yet when compared to the sundials and water clocks, they would still keep time, just farther behind in the west and ahead in the east. Later on, the only plausible explanation was that throughout the world time ran at the same rate but from a different starting time. Furthering this, the only explanation was that the sun did not pass over the world at the same angle everywhere. Did this mean the sun was so small and near it shadows were cast differently everywhere? Many scholars would attempt the calculations and perform experiments. The highest flying Alesalitis reported that as one approached the sun, it actually became cooler the higher they flew, and also the sun' size never changed, using the scholars angles for a near sun and the flat ground, the sun would have to be much closer than would be reasonably possible. It was therefore, 80 years later (not that Pompeivs lived that long) that it was finally accepted in the scientific community that the world was a sphere, no getting around it, Aristotle and Eratosthenes' theories about the circumference of Terra were proved unmistakably right.
1410(657) In the barbarian parts of the Arabian peninsula, a prophet named Al-Amin founded an influential monotheistic religion called Islanastrianism. Its inspiration came mostly from Zoroastrianism and Hebrew traditions. A charismatic and megalomaniacal figure, he whipped up massive Arab armies, uniting the majority of the peninsula and converting most of its peoples. His powerful forces however were curbed by Rome in a series of short wars lasting until his death in 1432(679). Although he demanded his successors continue the war against the pagan empire, he never actually made a definite choice, causing his followers to fight amongst themselves until the Mossalnan Cilaf collapsed and their main leaders died of old age. The religion itself was not lost however, it expanded rather peacefully (though in a fractured state and in fad fashion) around the near east; though Ægyptian, Greek, and Roman gods held sway beyond the region's coast of the Mare Imbrium. The Islan that stayed in the peninsula and reached eastern Africa would mix with various Ægyptian based cults, changing as the decades passed. The Islan that entered Parthia would become heavily influenced by Roman and Indian religion-traditions.

Brussels (UPI) Mar 2, 2012
A key European Parliament committee this week approved a measure allowing the EU to withhold carbon emission permits to prop up their market prices.
The EP's Industry, Research and Energy Committee Tuesday approved a draft EU directive that authorizes the European Commission to intervene in the open market for carbon allowances sold under the EU's emissions trading scheme, beginning with its 2013-20 phase.
The changes to the EU's Energy Efficiency Directive call for a "necessary amount of allowances" to be removed from the market to strengthen their languishing open-market price.
Backers hail it as a way to cope with a saturated market for the credits brought on by the economic slowdown and other factors, resulting in an oversupply estimated at between 500 million and 1.4 billion. Prices for the allowances have dropped from a peak of $40 per ton of carbon equivalent in 2008 to $9 per ton.
The idea behind the EU allowances is to encourage European industry to use energy more efficiently and save money through the installation of new technology to cut carbon emissions. But the price is too low to act as a motivator to spur costly long-term investments in green energy technologies, analysts say.
Industries that have purchased and stockpiled the EUAs, however, vehemently oppose intervening in the market, saying it amounts to "moving the goalposts" after they've already made investments under the trading scheme.
Poland also opposed any form of EUA set-aside because strengthening carbon prices could hurt its coal-dependent economy.
The EP committee, however, turned aside those concerns, passing the set-asides as part of a larger package of changes that authorize the European Commission to seek binding national energy efficiency targets and save energy by specific means such as renovating public buildings.
That way, the demand for the EUAs will rise, asserted Claude Turmes, a Greens/EFA member of Parliament from Luxembourg.
"This vote is a major sign that Parliament, with a majority including most political parties, takes rising energy costs and energy poverty seriously," he said. "Energy efficiency offers possibilities for job creation -- notably in the building sector.
"Now governments have a choice: protect citizens against energy poverty and create many job opportunities or allow big energy companies to make ever-increasing profits."
For the set-aside plan to become law, the commission must make a formal proposal to withhold the permits and persuade a majority of the EU council of 27 environment ministers to go along with it, followed by a vote of the full European Parliament.
Denmark, which holds the council's rotating presidency, has vowed to support the energy efficiency measures before its term runs out in July. But whether the EUA set-asides will be included in its agenda unclear, The Guardian reported.
In addition to the Poland-led opposition in the Council of Europe, the commission itself is divided on the issue, the newspaper said, with Climate Commissioner Connie Hedegaard in favor but Industry Commissioner Antonio Tajani opposed.
"The pricing of allowances should be left to the market," Tajani said Tuesday. "Prices would recover by themselves as soon as the economy were to pick up."

Call for tough new targets on European Union energy reduction
Norwich UK (SPX) Feb 29, 2012
Energy efficiency experts at the University of East Anglia (UEA) are calling for ambitious new targets to reduce energy demand across the European Union. In a report published by the Build with CaRe consortium, the researchers propose a new EU target of a 40 per cent reduction in primary energy demand by 2050. The existing target is a 20 per cent improvement in energy efficiency by 2020, but the ... read more

Today was the day that Jameis Winston and Kwon Alexander took over the Buccaneers organization.
Both players had excellent games that I don't need to rehash here. What I do need to point out is the emotion and leadership both exuded in different ways on Sunday.
Kwon Alexander found out on Friday that his little brother had died. He had a choice to make. He could go home and be with his family or he could play in the game on Sunday.
"He would have wanted me to play," Alexander said of his brother after Sunday's win.
Alexander dedicated the game to his brother, and had his best game of his young career. Alexander created two clutch turnovers that led to points, and ultimately helped the Bucs get the victory.
On the other side of the ball, Jameis Winston was playing his 3rd straight excellent game. He was mistake free and made big plays when plays needed to be made. Winston is becoming more of a leader and more of the face of this franchise with each week that passes.
"We saw it in his eyes, he was doing this for a purpose," Winston said of Kwon Alexander. "It's different when you look in a man's eyes and he's just doing it because he's just getting a paycheck or he just likes playing football, but when you're doing something for a purpose; Family is a strong thing, and when something happens to your family, when you're a true man, and you go out and represent for your family like that, that says a lot."
The leadership of the Buccaneers organization has come under heavy scrutiny over the past few weeks. From Lovie Smith to players like Gerald McCoy and Lavonte David, questions surrounding true leadership, a hatred to lose, and playing with a purpose has been questioned. Jameis Winston and Kwon Alexander answered those questions today. While Gerald McCoy continues to say on his little radio show that they just can't seem to hold Jameis Winston back from being a leader, maybe McCoy needs to take a step down and allow the rookies who possess true leadership characteristics to take over.
"Everybody in that lockerroom has tremendous respect for the man that he is," Jameis Winston said of Kwon Alexander.
It's about time everybody in that lockerroom starts following Kwon Alexander and Jameis Winston moving forward. If they do that, we might have many more wins to celebrate about in our near future.

Three young girls take the stage at the Riverfest Talent Show in Monticello back in July of 2010 for a winning performance of "Forever and Ever, Amen." Paige, Alyssa, and Maddy (ages 12, 10, and 7) deliver an impressive cover of Randy Travis' country classic.
The country trio don cowgirl hats with their hair pulled back in pigtails and stand idly while skillfully harmonizing as well as taking turns for individual solos. The three bow their hats at the end of the performance after perfectly nailing the final verse.
"I'm gonna love you forever, forever and ever, amen," the trio harmonize together. "As long as old men sit and talk about the weather, as long as old women sit and talk about old men."
"Forever and Ever, Amen" was released by country music star Randy Travis in 1987, decades before the three girls were even born. There is definitely something very endearing about such young girls singing the lyrics about promising to love someone unconditionally as long as they live. That just makes your heart melt.
You can watch the adorable country trio's cover of "Forever and Ever, Amen" in the video below!

Despite the acquisition of Carson Palmer during the offseason, many expected the Arizona Cardinals to select a quarterback in the 2013 NFL Draft this year, but the team decided to pass on all of the quarterbacks from this year's class. Now, of course the main question on everyone's mind–will the Cardinals regret their decision?
It's no secret that Palmer will most likely be around for one or two seasons–which means they're eventually going to need to figure out a replacement when it comes to building a franchise quarterback for the future. The team parted ways with Kevin Kolb this offseason after that experiment failed miserably and as much as they don't want to admit it–the decision to bring him on board in the first place set them back as a franchise for at least a year or two.
In other words–the smart move would have been to select a quarterback in this year's class for the post-Palmer era.
There may not have been any steller quarterbacks guaranteed to go in the first round like previous years, but there was a handful of quarterbacks with franchise potential they could have easily chosen in the later rounds. From Geno Smith to Matt Barkley, Arizona could have easily taken a risk on one of these quarterbacks at a low cost–but they chose not to.
Only time will tell when it comes to how well the quarterbacks from this year's class turn out, but it's safe to say the Cardinals may end up regret not selecting a quarterback from this year's draft class.
