The Midas Throne Row
There is some furor over an exhibit now at Philadelphia's Penn Museum: "The Golden Age of King Midas," showcasing the art of Turkey's ancient Phrygia, a kingdom ruled by Midas in the first millennium BC and known for its superb artistry.

According to the Central Intelligence Agency's World Factbook, the worldwide human death rate averages nearly 8 per 1,000 in population. With over six billion people on the planet, that's about 55.3 million deaths per year -- 151,600 a day, 6,316 an hour, 105 a minute, and nearly 2 per second. That's a lot of bodies to dump. Conventional cemetery burial and fossil-fuel cremation are the two main means of corpse disposal but both have drawbacks by way of cost, use of natural resources, and effects on the environment.

Here's Why Your Spring Allergies Are Already Flaring Up
It's only the beginning of March, but spring allergies are already on the rise. Over at his office at Allergy and Asthma Care of New York, Dr. Clifford Bassett said he's "already seeing a tenfold increase in the volume of phone calls of people complaining of allergies and allergy-like symptoms." The reason for all those early calls? This more-or-less comfy, mild winter that many of us have enjoyed so far. Seasonal allergies develop when the body’s immune system overreacts to something in the environment during a particular time of year, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology....
