It&#8217;s been 200 years since Napoleon ravaged Europe in the name of French nationalism, so maybe it&#8217;s time to put aside the differences over all that warmongering and failed empire-building and all go to an amusement park together. France thinks so, at least. By 2014, construction is set to begin on Napoleonland, a new theme park designed to pay homage to the French leader some believe to be a hero and others think of as one of history&#8217;s most loathsome dictators. Park-goers can expect a water show recreating the Battle of Trafalgar, tributes to Napoleon&#8217;s crushing defeat of the Russo-Austrian Army at the Battle of Austerlitz, a ski run littered with the frozen bodies of soldiers and horses and a re-creation of Louis XVI on the guillotine — all of it on the site of one of Napoleon&#8217;s greatest victories, the Battle of Montereau. Even the Battle of Waterloo, which ...]]></description>

The Funeral of Whitney Elizabeth Houston

NEWARK, N.J. &#8211; Actor Kevin Costner joined friends and family gathered Saturday to pay their respects to Whitney Houston in her hometown of Newark, N.J. and brought smiles to the faces of mourners as he remembered his co-star in &#8220;The Bodyguard.&#8221;
 Costner remembered a movie star who was uncertain of her own fame, who &#8220;still wondered, &#8216;am I good enough? Am I pretty enough? Will they like me?&#8217; &#8221;
 &#8221;It was the burden that made her great and the part that caused her to stumble in the end,&#8221; Costner said.
 Earlier, mourners at the New Hope Baptist Church fell quiet as three police officers escorted Houston&#8217;s silver casket, draped with white roses and purple lilies. White-robed choir members began to fill the pews on the podium. As the band played softly, the choir sang in a hushed ...]]></description>

John Glenn fever has taken hold in the U.S. once again. Three days before the 50th anniversary of his historic flight, the first American to orbit the Earth addressed employees at Kennedy Space Center. The NASA auditorium was packed Friday with hundreds of workers hoping to see the space legend.
 
 
NASA, via The Associated Press
Astronaut John Glenn was photographed Feb. 20, 1962, during his space flight in the Friendship 7 Mercury spacecraft, weightless and traveling at 17,500 mph. 
The 90-year-old Glenn was joined at both events by Scott Carpenter, 86, the only other survivor of the original Mercury 7 astronauts, as the weekend of anniversary festivities began.
Glenn said he recollects the flight so often it seems like it took place just a ...]]></description>

6-century history of French franc ending on last day to change former money to euros
http://www.canadianbusiness.com/article/71659&#8211;6-century-history-of-french-franc-ending-on-last-day-to-change-former-money-to-euros



PARIS &#8211; Six centuries after the first one was minted and a decade after they went out of circulation, the last French francs are being exchanged for euros, severing France&#8217;s final link to its former national currency.
However, the franc&#8217;s end also comes as its replacement, the euro, suffers its worst crisis since its creation.
The Banque de France set a deadline of the close of business Friday for French savers to exchange whatever leftover franc notes they&#8217;ve kept socked away in drawers or under mattresses, whether held onto intentionally as souvenirs or simply forgotten about.
The euro replaced the franc in wallets and purses in January 2002, but the central bank has continued to accept francs in exchange for euros — until late Friday.
A decade might seem to have been enough time to get to the bank, even ...]]></description>

Jesus &#8216;Tomb&#8217; Controversy Reopened
By Tim McGirk/Jerusalem

When the Discovery Channel aired a TV documentary last year raising the possibility that archeologists had found the family tomb of Jesus Christ in the hills behind Jerusalem, it caused a huge backlash among Christians. The claim, after all, challenged one of the cornerstones of Christian faith — that Jesus, after his crucifixion, rose bodily to heaven in his physical form.
The Lost Tomb of Jesus, made by Hollywood director James Cameron and Canadian investigative journalist Simcha Jacobovici, was shown only once on Discovery. Britain&#8217;s Channel 4 canceled its own plans to air the documentary, which reexamines an archeological find from 1980 in which a crypt was found containing what were said to be the ossuaries of Joseph, Mary, Jesus, the son of Joseph, Mariamne (possibly Mary Magdalene, say the filmmakers) and Judah, son of Jesus. Given the highly explosive nature of its ...]]></description>

The Seedy, Scandalous History of Valentine&#8217;s Day
 http://news.discovery.com/history/history-valentines-day-121302.html
By Rossella Lorenzi &#124; Mon Feb 13, 2012 04:26 PM ET

Forget roses, chocolates and candlelight dinners. On Valentine&#8217;s Day, that&#8217;s rather boring stuff &#8212; at least according to ancient Roman standards.
Imagine half-naked men running through the streets, whipping young women with bloodied thongs made from freshly cut goat skins. Although it might sound like some sort of perverted sado-masochistic ritual, this is what the Romans did until 496 A.D.
Indeed, mid-February was Lupercalia (Wolf Festival) time. Celebrated on Feb. 15 at the foot of the Palatine Hill beside the cave where, according to tradition, the she-wolf had suckled Romulus and Remus, the festival was essentially a purification and fertility rite.
Directed by the Luperci, or &#8220;brothers of the wolf,&#8221; the festival began with the sacrifice of two male goats and a dog, their blood smeared on the faces of Luperci initiates and then wiped off with ...]]></description>

Feb 13, 1633:
Galileo in Rome for Inquisition

 On this day in 1633, Italian philosopher, astronomer and mathematician Galileo Galilei arrives in Rome to face charges of heresy for advocating Copernican theory, which holds that the Earth revolves around the Sun. Galileo officially faced the Roman Inquisition in April of that same year and agreed to plead guilty in exchange for a lighter sentence. Put under house arrest indefinitely by Pope Urban VIII, Galileo spent the rest of his days at his villa in Arcetri, near Florence, before dying on January 8, 1642.

Galileo, the son of a musician, was born February 15, 1564, in Pisa, Italy. He entered the University of Pisa planning to study medicine, but shifted his focus to philosophy and mathematics. In 1589, he became a professor at Pisa for several years, during which time he demonstrated that the speed of a falling object is not proportional to its weight, ...]]></description>

Did Early Humans Ride the Waves to Australia?

By MATT RIDLEY
http://online.wsj.com/article

Everybody is African in origin. Barring a smattering of genes from Neanderthals and other archaic Asian forms, all our ancestors lived in the continent of Africa until 150,000 years ago. Some time after that, say the genes, one group of Africans somehow became so good at exploiting their environment that they (we!) expanded across all of Africa and began to spill out of the continent into Asia and Europe, invading new ecological niches and driving their competitors extinct.
There is plenty of dispute about what gave these people such an advantage—language, some other form of mental ingenuity, or the collective knowledge that comes from exchange and specialization—but there is also disagreement about when the exodus began. For a long time, scientists had assumed a gradual expansion ...]]></description>
