- "Southampton varsity scholar Roberta Tomber claims that the pottery pieces found by K P Shajan, a marine geologist, from Pattanam near Paravoor, are parts of Roman wine amphora, Mesopotamian torpedo jar and Yemenite storage jar. 'It is the first time that we have found evidence in Malabar coast. The clay is very different from what was used in India during the same period. A lot of black minerals are present,' she says. " If this claim is true, then the pieces are the first evidence of Roman pottery to be found in Kerala. |

- Fiddling While Earth Burns Bill McKibben, a science writer and long-time advocate of drastic action to curtail global warming and overpopulation, lays out in the latest edition of Granta the overwhelming evidence, unrefuted by a single credible scientific study, of the huge and potentially disastrous impact of human activity -- mostly the burning of hydrocarbons -- on the thermodynamics of Earth. And then he gets to the heart of the problem: The success of the scientific method underlines the failure of the political method. It is clear what must happen—the rapid conversion of our energy system from fossil to renewable fuels. |

- Ever since the first buds of spring, Democratic candidates have trekked in tandem to party debates and special-interest forums across the land - 25, at last count - each hoping that a quip, a sound bite, a telling anecdote, or a killer salvo fired at President Bush might seize the public's fancy and put that lucky Democrat on the fast track to power. But despite the attention from C-Span, CNN, ABC and MSNBC, and all the auditions with the likes of AFSCME, AARP and the NAACP, one national poll now reports that 45 percent of likely Democratic primary voters still cannot name a single candidate. It appears the Democrats would have drawn more public notice this year if they had reserved a lectern for Paris Hilton. - Dick Polman @ The Philadelphia Inquirer Sure it's early but how can you not name a single candidate? Do these people ever watch the news? |
