The day is named after one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentine and was established by Pope Gelasius I in 500 AD. It was deleted from the Roman calendar of saints in 1969 by Pope Paul VI\, but its religious observance is still permitted. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers\, offering confectionery\, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). The day first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages\, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. Modern Valentine's Day symbols include the heart-shaped outline\, doves\, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century\, handwritten valentines have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards.

In their prime\, the O'Jays' recordings epitomized the Philly soul sound: smooth\, rich harmonies backed by elaborate arrangements\, lush strings\, and a touch of contemporary funk. They worked extensively with the legendary production/songwriting team of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff \, becoming the flagship artist of the duo's Philadelphia International label. The O'Jays were equally at home singing sweet love ballads or up-tempo dance tunes\, the latter of which were often mouthpieces for Gamble & Huff s social concerns. Although the O'Jays couldn't sustain their widespread popularity in the post-disco age\, they continued to record steadily all the way up to the present day\, modifying their production to keep up with the times.The O'Jays were formed in 1958 in Canton\, OH\, where all five original members — Eddie Levert\, Walter Williams\, WilliamPowell\, Bill Isles\, and Bobby Massey — attended McKinley High School. Inspired to start a singing group after seeing a performance by Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers they first called themselves the Triumphs\, then switched to the Mascots in 1960. The Mascots made their recording debut in 1961 with the single "Miracles\," issued on the Cincinnati-based King label. It earned them a fan in the influential Cleveland DJ Eddie O'Jay\, who gave them some airplay and career advice; in turn\, the group renamed itself the O'Jays in 1963\, after having recorded for Apollo Records with producer Don Davis Under their new name\, the O'Jays signed with Imperial and hooked up with producer H.B. Barnum\, who would helm their first charting single\, 1963's "Lonely Drifter\," plus several more singles that followed. Isles left the group in 1965 and was not replaced\, leaving them a quartet; late in the year\, they released their first-ever album\, Comin' Through. In 1967\, the O'Jays left Imperial for Bell\, where they landed their first Top Ten single on the R&B charts\, "I'll Be Sweeter Tomorrow (Than I Was Today)." Discouraged by the difficulty of following that success\, the group considered throwing in the towel until it met Gamble & Huff— then working as a production team for the Neptune label — in 1968. Gamble & Huff took an interest in the group\, and they recorded several successful R&B singles together; however\, Neptune folded in 1971\, leaving the O'Jays in limbo\, and Massey decided to exit the group.

When you get an infection\, your body produces disease-fighting substances called antibodies. These antibodies usually stay in your body even after the illness has gone\, and protect you from getting the same disease again. Children can get very dangerous diseases that can be prevented by shots. Very young children are at the most risk\, so you need to immunize your children early. Your child should receive immunizations at birth\, 2 months\, 4 months\, 6 months\, 12 months\, and soon after the 4th birthday. IMMUNIZATION RECORDS Your doctor or public health clinic will keep a record of your child's shots and will also give you a record. If you do not receive one\, be sure to ask. Your doctor or clinic will be happy to provide you with a Personal Immunization Card. It is very important that you keep this record of your child's shots. Bring the card with you when you take your child to the doctor\, hospital\, and make sure the doctor or nurse signs and dates the card any time a shot is given.

The music that came out of that part of the world is a part of who I am\, and it’s the biggest inspiration for what I do and why I do it.”So for the Kennett\, Missouri native\, calling the disc 100 Miles From Memphis is a statement of purpose\, both musical and emotional. It also marks a long-awaited return by the nine-time Grammy winner to the sounds that first drew her to making music.

The Red River was discovered by DeSoto while exploring the Mississippi for riches. Bienville followed its route to explore north Louisiana. St. Denis spent years searching its shores for gold and silver. Early settlers and farmers used it to ship cotton and other goods to New Orleans. The Confederate Army used it to move food and troops south. The Union Army used it to move food and troops north. Steamboat lines from St. Louis\, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati roamed its waters. Today\, the gifts of the waterway continue to support the River community. Under the guidance of the Red River Waterway Commission\, the River provides both recreational and commercial opportunities to Louisiana residents. The Red River is a vital source for economic development essential to the future of the state as well as offering some of the very best bass fishing. Many National Tournaments have been held on the waterway and it will be the site of the 2012 Bassmaster Classic. Practice days are Sunday\, Monday\, Tuesday\, Wednesday and Thursday\, October 9-13. Competition tournament days will be Friday and Saturday\, October 14 and 15. Weigh-in will take place at Red River South Marina at 3:00 pm on these days.

Maggie Lee Henson Celebration of Caring When: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday\, April 21 Where: Barnwell Center\, downtown Shreveport riverfront\, 601 Clyde Fant Parkway What: Free picnic lunch\, live music\, games for children\, and much more How much: Free Information: 318-425-3222 The fun event brings area residents and organizations together from many neighborhoods to celebrate our common bond of caring. Activities include a free picnic lunch\, live music\, games for children\, face-painting and much more. The celebration begins at 11 a.m. and runs through 2 p.m. on the riverfront\, outside the Barnwell Center\, 601 Clyde Fant Parkway. One person in the community will be honored with the Caring Angel Award\, to recognize their caring for and service to others. Nominations are being accepted through April 6. Visit www.communityrenewal.us for more information. Entries in the Celebration of Caring coloring contest will be displayed at the Barnwell Center. The coloring contest is open to ages 4-8 and has fun prizes for the winners. Visit www.facebook.com/communityrenewal to download a copy of the picture. Send it back to CRI by April 18. The annual event is named in honor of Maggie Lee Henson\, one of two young people who died after a bus taking youth from First Baptist Church Shreveport to a summer camp crashed in 2009. Only 12 when she died\, Maggie Lee had a profound impact on those around her with her caring and generous spirit. Maggie Lee from a young age was very demonstrative with her faith. She heard Jesus' words about loving other people and did it\,” said her mother\, Jinny Henson. Caring is contagious and there are opportunities everywhere for us to practice loving others as we love ourselves. The Celebration of Caring Event will hopefully spawn even more good deeds\, becauseonce you give sacrificially\, expecting nothing in return\, you are never the same. And that change can't help but change our city\, country and world." One purpose of the Celebration of Caring is to reinforce our common bond of caring for one another. When caring persons get connected with one another\, we raise our own perception of our community as a good place to live. The more we become connected\, the better our community becomes\,” said TomWatts\, director of the Renewal Team for Community Renewal. Sponsor Red Ball Oxygen funds and provides personnel who work with other volunteers to make the Celebration of Caring the best event it can be. Community Renewal International is a nonprofit effort to restore safe and healthy communities through caring relationships. Founded in 1994\, Community Renewal reaches at-risk youth through Friendship Houses built in impoverished neighborhoods\, strengthens education through the Adult Renewal Academy\, partners with The Fuller Center for Housing and connects caring partners who turn their neighborhoods into safe havens of friendship and support.

It wasn't just the fact that her rich\, powerful vocals were remarkably similar to Patsy Cline -- it was the fact that Rimes was only 13 years old. Like Tanya Tucker and Brenda Lee before her\, she had a hit with her debut single and was barely a teenager at the time. It was quite an auspicious way to begin a career. Born in Jackson\, Mississippi\, but raised in Garland\, Texas\, Rimes (born August 28\, 1982) began singing as a child\, performing at local talent contests. At the age of 11\, she released her first album on an independent record label called Nor Va Jak. That same year\, Bill Mack\, a Dallas disc jockey and record promoter\, met Rimes\, and impressed by her talents\, he took her under his wing and began cultivating a plan to break her into the mainstream. The cornerstone of Mack's plan was a song called "Blue\," which he had written in the '60s. Mack claimed that he had written the tune for Cline\, but she had died before she was able to record the song.

[caption id="attachment_114315" align="aligncenter" width="630"] Mosman Council/Flickr[/caption] Bring your dog to find out if they can be a life saver! Stay for the Halloween Party at Petco! Donate blood with Lifeshare Blood Centers and be a life saver yourself! All canine donor applicants will receive a goodie bag! A Lifeshare bus will be available for owners wanting to donate. Volunteers will be on hand to assist owners wanting to donate blood. Why do dogs need blood? Dogs need blood transfusion for many different reasons. The most common conditions are trauma (i.e. hit by a car)\, rat poison or other toxins\, anemia\, bleeding problems\, severe illnesses (like liver disease or cancer). Even dogs with severe intestinal parasites may need blood transfusions. Do dogs have the same blood types as people? No. Dogs have at least six well defined blood types\, also known as dog erythrocyte antigens (DEA). The universal blood type for dogs is DEA 1.1 negative. This blood type can be given to any dog\, so it’s the blood type that we look for first. Other blood types are used when necessary. Can my dog donate blood to save another dog’s life? Your dog could be a life saver if he/she is: Between 1-6 years old Between 50 and 100 pounds Happy and healthy Current on vaccinations and takes monthly heartworm prevention and flea and tick prevention Spayed or neutered. (And has never had a litter of puppies.) How do I sign my dog up? 1. Fill out the necessary forms about you and your pet. 2. Your dog will have a preliminary physical examination and behavior assessment at the Canine Blood Drive or during an appointment at SVIM. 3. If the basic requirements have been met\, an appointment will be scheduled at SVIM at 7013 Sand Beach Blvd for blood typing and other screening tests. How does the canine blood donor program work? There is a two year commitment to the program. You must be able to bring your dog in for blood donation every 4-8 weeks. You may be asked to bring your dog in for an emergency donation.

The progress\, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted\, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50\, with at least two to three times more women as men being diagnosed with the disease.  MS affects more than 2.1 million people worldwide. About the National Multiple Sclerosis Society MS stops people from moving. The National MS Society exists to make sure it doesn’t. The Society addresses the challenges of each person affected by MS by funding cutting-edge research\, driving change through advocacy\, facilitating professional education\, collaborating with MS organizations around the world\, and providing programs and services designed to help people with MS and their families move forward with their lives. In 2011 alone\, through its national office and 50-state network of chapters\, the Society devoted $164 million to programs and services that assisted more than one million people. To move us closer to a world free of MS\, the Society also invested $40 million to support more than 325 new and ongoing research projects around the world. The Society is dedicated to achieving a world free of MS. Join the movement at nationalMSsociety.org. Early and ongoing treatment with an FDA-approved therapy can make a difference for people with multiple sclerosis.

Acknowledged master of the short story Richard Bausch has been selected to receive the 2013 John William Corrington Award for Literary Excellence. This February award ceremony\, which will include a reading by the author\, is free and open to the public. What: Corrington Award for Literary Excellence When: Monday\, February 25\, 7:00 p.m. Where: Whited Room\, Bynum Commons “One of the things that has so impressed this department about his stories\, besides the quality of the telling\, is that they embody the meaningfulness of life by taking seriously\, without the imposition of an ideological bias\, the predicaments in which people find themselves\, even when those predicaments could invite ridicule\,” said Dr. David Havird\, Professor of English. “To put the matter a little differently\, there is the stories’ infinite inventiveness\, itself a manifestation of the author’s empathetic curiosity about the lives of others—his profound appreciation of the ambivalences that people wrestle with—and the complementary conviction that those lives signify.” Bausch is the author of eleven novels and eight collections of stories\, including the novels Rebel Powers\, In The Night Season\, Hello To The Cannibals\, and Peace and the story collections Spirits\, Rare & Endangered Species\, The Stories of Richard Bausch\, and the recently released Something Is Out There. His novel The Last Good Time was made into a feature-length motion picture\, released in April 1995. Bausch's stories have appeared in The Atlantic Monthly\, Esquire\, The New Yorker\, The Southern Review\, The Best American Short Stories\, O. Henry Prize Stories\, and The Pushcart Prize Stories. His stories have also been widely anthologized. The Modern Library published The Selected Stories of Richard Bausch in March 1996.

Breaking the Silence though Creativity - Outreach's Maker's Fair DESCRIPTION:The National Day of Silence is a day of action in which students across the country vow to take a form of silence to call attention to the silencing effect of anti-LGBT bullying and harassment in schools. Outreach - Centenary College of Louisiana's QSA is celebrating breaking the silence by holding a Maker's Fair and Art Show at Jones Rice Field at Centenary College. Below is information for vendors: How to Draw People to Your Maker's Booth SMILE!Seems silly but I see it happen every time- a Maker sits behind their booth waiting for someone to approach them. Your smile is just as important as your product.   DEMONSTRATE!Customers love to see Makers in action and Makers who are able to demonstrate their craft draw in more customers. This doesn’t have to be complicated. Try to avoid anything that will not let you work with potential customers.   SIGNAGE! Your space should have a sign. Draw people to your area with an easy to read sign. Since you will be bringing your own table\, you can test your sign before the day of the fair. Make sure potential customers can see the sign from at least 10-15 feet away.   TOOLS FOR REPEAT CUSTOMERS! The following are suggestions to help you stay connected to your customers after SHOUT! • Your business cards • A clip board with a pen and paper to collect client addresses and email addresses • Information that includes any websites\, online stores\, or blogs where your work can be found.   What will you need the day of the fair? DON’T FORGET YOUR CHAIRS! BRING PLENTY OF CHANGE ATMS is not nearby and not every bank is open in Saturday. Make sure you have plenty of change for your customers. Outreach is not able to make change for any Maker.   KNOW THAT A WIRELESS INTERNET CONNECTION IS SPOTTY AT BESTif you are depending on any type of wireless connection\, it is very unreliable. Please have a back up plan.   CALCULATOR\, PEN\, PAPER If you are not going to build in the applicable sales tax to your items\, a calculator will help to calculate taxes.

The protest will take place at the IRS office located at 3700 Knight Street\, Shreveport\, LA. In April of 2010 The Red River Tea Party became one of many conservative groups across the nation targeted by the IRS. The RRTP was seeking a tax exempt 501c4 status. In response to the RRTP request\, the IRS sent a 9 page document requesting compliance with dozens of detailed reports including receipts and documented sources for fundraising; standards\, criteria and procedures for other sources of receipts\, and the nature of other contemplated expenditures. In addition\, they expected a listing of all of the RRTP past activities\, the percentage of time spent conducting each activity and the percentage of funds spent conducting each activity. Another question demanded to know: “all issues that are important to your organization….and indicate your position regarding each issue.” Other questions involved seeking materials for every educational event conducted by the RRTP\, including date of and location of the event\, nature of the event\, revenue and event expenses; whether any candidates for public office had ever spoken to our group\, who\, when and what they said-- as well as any video or audio recordings of our event; specifics about voter education activities\, voter guides—publishing and distributing\, etc. The Red River Tea Party is a small\, grass roots\, not for profit organization composed of concerned community volunteers. Fundraising is unsophisticated and usually involves the periodic passing of a hat.
