PRESIDENTS’ DAY – FEBRUARY 21, 2011
February 18, 2011
Presidents’ Day, initially called Washington’s Birthday, became a federal holiday in 1880. It was celebrated on President Washington’s birthday – February 22 – and was the first holiday dedicated to a US citizen. This holiday was signed into law in 1968.
By the mid 1980s, many state governments changed this holiday Presidents’ Day so that it could be a day to celebrate the presidency, as opposed to just George Washington.
While it is still officially called Washington’s Birthday, today it celebrates not only George Washington, but Abraham Lincoln and the presidency in general.
There is a parade on February 22 in Alexandria, VA to celebrate this holiday.
Secure Communities a Trap for the Unwary
February 17, 2011
ICE’s ‘Secure Communities’ program is NOT voluntary.
A voluntary program to run all criminal suspects’ fingerprints through an immigration database was only voluntary until cities refused to participate, thousands of recently released documents show. The Obama administration then tightened the rules so that U.S. cities had no choice but to have the fingerprints checked. The documents made public by the Homeland Security Department provide a behind-the-scenes glimpse of how the administration scrambled to quiet the criticisms and negative publicity surrounding the immigration enforcement program known as Secure Communities.” Suzanne Gamboa, Canadian Press, Feb. 15, 2011.
CHOCOLATE = BEST PRESENT FOR VALENTINE’S DAY
February 16, 2011
February is Chocolate Lover’s Month, in addition to being the month during which we celebrate Valentine’s Day. It has been a long-time tradition to present one’s loved one with chocolates on Valentine’s Day.
There may very well be a good reason for this practice – a study has shown that chocolate can make people experience more intense and longer lasting pleasure than kissing can. This is especially true if one allows the chocolate to melt on one’s tongue.
Chocolate contains certain chemicals that produce this effect – phenylethylamine and caffeine. Phenylethylamine elevates the level of pleasure-arousing endorphins in the brain. It is also for this reason that chocolate can become addicting.
Whatever the reason may be, to make your significant other happy this Valentine’s Day, be sure to get them lots and lots of chocolate.
