[Vo]:]VO]:: OT: The Ides of March
Howdy Vorts, This writer is a respected financial analyist. Reading between the lines of his article, I sense he is saying that by the middle of March the financial world will know if the banking and financial structures can be salvaged . I wonder if Ceasar saw it coming ? http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/SuperModels/MarketsRallyIsReallyATrap.aspx Richard
[Vo]:Global Warming anecdotes
Anecdotes about global warming are a waste of time- especially to confront the naysayers - because there will always be tales of record cold somewhere, with which to balance out the picture ... and in the end, almost everyone can believe in what serves their own agenda best. Never mind that here on the left coast, we have already gone through an early Spring in Northern California, and the plum trees and daffodils which bloomed in mid-February are almost gone of color. Say what you will glaciers melting, it's still cold in Alaska. But with the famous Iditarod 1,150-mile dog-sled race starting up soon, they are actually having to truck in snow ! Horace is probably getting his team clipped and groomed so that they don't overheat ;-) but I find it more than amusing that this story is apparently true- that snow had to be trucked in to cushion the streets of Anchorage for the race's ceremonial start on Sunday. I wonder if any of the musher will be wearing shorts...

Maybe his calendar leaped into the way, Richard g -- bit of trivia and warped history lesson for those who never miss an appointment ... and coming to you post-leap-day when many are missed In 45 B.C. a year before the Ides thing- old Julie, alarmed that the Roman calendar (and a few other things) were becoming a joke all around the Mediterranean, added the first leap or extra day to the month of February, and proclaimed that every four years, it would be done again. Caesar had been consulting with Egypt's top astronomer, not to mention their head of state, who (the former) informed him that: even in Rome, each year has exactly 365.25 days instead of what his own experts had been telling him (364). While he was single-handedly making the calendar fix, and also pissing-off the Senate religious establishment even more than usual, Julie took the opportunity to name to a month after himself. We all know what happened the following year ;-) Brutus missed a number of important engagements due to not having understood that an extra day had been added in Julie's Calendar changeover, and was so infuriated that he let his temper get the best of him. Plutarch relates that Caesar had ample warning, but his calendar was equally a mess due to all the confused leaping around. A blind mystic had warned Caesar to be on his guard against a great peril on the Ides; and when Caesar was on his way to the senate that day, thinking it was the day before the night-after, he mocked the seer, jesting: The Ides of March has come ... the mystic muttered: Yes, the Ides has come but not passed but it was too confusing for JC to sort it all out ... and the rest is history KdF Jones
