Mother's Day History
It's a day when lots of people get their mothers cards and flowers, or take them to brunch, or maybe try to make them breakfast-in-bed. But did you ever wonder how this whole Mother's Day thing got started?Mother's Day can be traced back more than 2,000 years, to a celebration held every spring in Greece. The celebration honored Rhea, the goddess who was considered the mother of all the other Greek gods.
Around 400 years ago, a holiday called "Mothering Sunday" became common in England. It was celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent, which is the period leading up to the Christian holiday of Easter.
In the United States, the social activist and poet Julia Ward Howe is given credit for suggesting the celebration of Mother's Day back in 1872. Howe saw it as a day that should be dedicated to peace.
But many people consider the Mother of Mother's Day in America as Anna Jarvis.
In the first decade of the 20th century, she started a campaign to make Mother's Day a national holiday, after the death of her own mother.
On May 10, 1907, she organized a special Mother's Day service at her mother's church in her hometown of Grafton, West Virginia. She chose the second Sunday of May because that was the anniversary of her mother's passing.
Jarvis then got financial backing for her campaign from wealthy Philadelphia philanthropist John Wanamaker, the founder of one of the first department stores in the United States. Just seven years later, on May 14, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation that made Mother's Day a national holiday, on the second Sunday of May each year.
For Jarvis, Mother's Day was not a day to go out and buy something for your mother.
In fact, by most accounts, she opposed what she saw as the growing commercialization of the holiday.
She saw it as a day to honor women for the work they do as mothers, not as a day to make money.
So if you don't have money to buy your mom a gift, don't worry. Just do something nice for her, to show her you appreciate what she does for you every day.
Chances are, that you'll be enough of a gift for her.
Happy Mother's Day

The True About USA Economy
Truth have to be said that the USA economy is crashed but there are some negative minds everywhere, e.g, if the economy was bad and aparently everything was fine; we have to think positively because after figured out, more or less, how big was the damage in the economy Obama's administration asked some money for the bailout and it was approved to cover the big damage made by the administrations before. Lets think that way if you have a deficit and you get the money to cover it obviously it has to be eliminated. but the negative minds are making it very tough to the public that the economy will not return to be at least what it was before for long time or maybe never; iIf the money to cover the damage in the economy was gotten and past to the needed ones thus, at least we have to expect things go back to their normal track.

Prostitution in New York City

This week the government must release sealed documents that could reveal new details about the origins and scope of the prostitution investigation that brought down former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, a judge ordered Thursday. U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff wrote in federal court in Manhattan that the documents, which were FBI applications for wiretaps, should be unsealed "given the strong and obvious public interest in disclosure." He ordered them released by Tuesday. The New York Times sued late last year to get access to the documents, which name the 67 people besides Spitzer who were clients of Emperor's Club VIP, a high-end prostitute service. The Times has agreed to allow the government to withhold the names of the customers in the documents. None of those customers except Spitzer has ever been identified and no client was ever charged. Four people who operated the ring were charged with prostitution and money laundering and have pleaded guilty.
The government has voluntarily unsealed a search warrant application for Emperor's e-mail account, but it withheld applications for wiretaps on cell phones, including one used by a woman who booked appointments with prostitutes.
