The History of Valentine's Day

Every holiday has a history, especially this one. The man behind the story is Valentine, a priest who served during the time of the Roman emperor, Claudius II. Back then, arranged marriages were the law, but Valentine held secret un-arranged marriages that were not known by the emperor. When Valentine's actions were discovered, he was placed in prison. While there, he sent a card to the jailer's daughter that said "From your Valentine". That was how the valentines started. Shortly after wards, he was executed. The day was February 14th. In the 19th century, valentines were being mass-produced and then candies came into the scene. All that's left is to say "Will you be my Valentine?"

What Really Caused The Peanut Butter Recall

On Thursday, the Texas Department of State Health Services issued an order to recall all peanut products that were made in the peanut Corporation in Plainview, Texas due to the discovery of dead rodents, their remains and bird feathers. This oder applies to all products that were made in the last two years. The ventilation system at the plant took in debris "from the infested crawl space into production areas of the plant resulting in the adultreration of exposed food products" a health departmen news release said. The manufacturing operations were stopped Monday night. This poisoning, also found at the company's other plant in Blakely, Georgia, has been linked to the recent national outbreak of salmonella poisoning which has affected 600 people and killed nine.

A Crazy Weekend in Sports! (continued) By Sports Specialist Daniel Plassa

This past weekend in sports has been a crazy one! The first game out as the battle for the NFC title with the Philadelphia Eagles playing against the Arizona Cardinals, the Cardinal's home state of Arizona. It looked like the Eagles were ready to take on a challenge when safety Brian Dawkins pumped up his team as he usually does. The Eagles were ready. But not for long! As soon as David Akers kicked that ball, the game was done! When Kurt Warner held that ball, he was on fire. The Cardinal's first drive had resulted in a touchdown. Then the Eagles came back for a field goal (7-3). Then the Cardinals made a play that changed the game a flea flicker. A throw to Kurt's running back then right back back to him for a beautiful pass to Fiztgerald over Quinton Mikel's head for a touchdown. By that point everyone counted the Eagles out. But in the second half the Eagles came back to lead it 25 to 24 in the 4th like they always have since the game that got them into the playoffs. But the clock was winding down the Cardinals scored, sending them to the Super Bowl for the first time in 61 years. A sad upset for Philadelphia. But at least Philly can still say "WE won the World Series!"

A Crazy Weekend in Sports!

A Miracle In the Hudson

Just this week, a miracle happened on the Hudson. A US Airways pilot safely landed a plane on the Hudson River. The miracle part is that no pilot is ever taught to do this. And everybody survived. But help also came from nearby ferries who stopped to take aboard passengers. It all started because a few birds got caught in the engine and the pilot in his fifties managed to do the impossible: land a plane in water. Because of this valiant act, the pilot will be awarded a medal of high honor.

The Update on the President-Elect

George Bush get $40 Million Dollar House in Dallas, Texas

While fulfilling his plans for a life after the White House, soon-to-be-out-of-office President George W. Bush bought a $40 million dollar home in Dallas. This home is situated in a very rich neighborhood. He says that he bought the home because his wife, First Lady Barbara Bush, wanted something different besides the ranch. Even though they will not be living there just as much, Bush plans to still tend to his ranch/ former home.


P.S. Remember to check out the Bush Poll at the bottom of the page.
