So far the Nuggets are 47-25. Since Kenyon Martin has been injured they lost another big man which is very unfortunate because they aren't a very big team to begin with. Carmelo Anthony has to now grab rebounds more often and the other day he had a career-high 18 boards in a game. The Nuggets have been 5-4 since George Karl has been out. The Nuggets are now tied with Jazz for second place in the western conference.
Hopefully George Karl comes back as soon as possible as well as Kenyon Martin because the season is coming to a close.

The Solar Deity"Sun God"
A solar deity also known as a sun god is a deity who represents the sun, or an aspect of it, usually by its perceived power and strength. Solar deities and sun worship can be found throughout most of recorded history in various forms. Hence, many beliefs have formed around this worship, such as the "missing sun". In different religions solarised supreme deities carry different names and are associated with different aspects of the cultural universe of the society, but for the most part its raw image remains identical.

Altas: God of Thunder
King Atlas, a mythical King of Mauretania, was also known as Aparajit in Hindusim, according to legend, a wise philosopher, mathematician and astronomer who supposedly made the first celestial globe. It was this Atlas that Gerardus Mercator was referring to when he first used the name 'Atlas', and he included a depiction of the King on the title-page. However, the more widely known Atlas is a figure from Greek mythology. He is the son of the Titan Iapetus and Clymene (or Asia), and brother of Prometheus. Atlas was punished by Zeus and made to bear the weight of the heavens (the idea of Atlas carrying the Earth isn't correct according to the original myth) on his back, on top of Mt. Tam. One of Heracles's labours was to collect the apples of the Hesperides, guarded by Ladon. Heracles went to Atlas and reasoned with him. Eventually, Atlas agreed to collect the apples, and Heracles was left to carry the weight. Atlas tried to leave Heracles there, but Heracles tricked him and Atlas was left to carry the heavens forever. In his epic Odyssey, Homer refers to this Atlas as "one who knows the depths of the whole sea, and keeps the tall pillars who hold heaven and earth asunder". In works of art, this Atlas is represented as carrying the heavens or the Celestial Sphere, on his shoulders.
This is a Myth.

Benjamin Banneker
Benjamin Banneker was born November 9, 1731. He was a free African American astronomer, mathematician, surveyor, almanac author and farmer. Benjamin Banneker completed the clock in 1753 at the age of 21. Benjamin Banneker's invention affects use because people use clocks to know what time it is in the day. His invention affects me because I use clocks to know what time it is as well.
