STAY TUNED FOR VALENTINE'S DAY EVENTS... Want to give your special someone a unique message for Valentine's day? Send a dozen roses consisting of 11 red roses and 1 white one. On the note: "In every bunch there's one who stands out, and you are that one." Or how about giving them a lottery ticket with a note saying: "I hit the jackpot when I found you." You don't need to spend a fortune to show how much you care.

The history of Valentine's Day is shrouded in mystery. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. While some believe Valentine's Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine's death or burial, others claim that the Christian church decided to celebrate Valentine's feast day in the middle of February to "christianize" celebrations of the pagan Lupercalia festival. By the middle of the eighteenth century, in Great Britan, it was common for friends and lovers in all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes. By the end of the century, printed cards began to replace written letters due to improvements in printing technology. The first commercial Valentine's Day greeting cards produced in the U.S. were created in the 1840s by Esther A. Howland. Howland, known as the Mother of the Valentine, made elaborate creations with real lace, ribbons and colorful pictures known as "scrap." According to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated one billion valentine cards are sent each year, making Valentine's Day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year. (Christmas being number 1.)

IOC launches Young Ambassador Programme for the Youth Olympic Games With fewer than 150 days to go until the first Youth Olympic Games (YOG), the International Olympic Committee (IOC) launched its Young Ambassador Programme in Singapore today. The new initiative engages 30 young people nominated by their National Olympic Committees (NOCs) to help promote the YOG in their regions and communities and support the athletes before and during the Games as well as during their participation in the Culture and Education Programme (CEP). The CEP aims to educate, engage and influence young people in sport and the Olympic values, inspiring them to play an active role in their communities, and the Young Ambassadors will help facilitate this goal. The programme also gives athletes advice on careers in sport, social responsibilities and other lifestyle choices. The Young Ambassadors are between the ages of 18 and 28, come from a variety of backgrounds -- from former Olympians to scholars -- and represent countries from Australia to Zimbabwe. Sixty per cent are female. The Ambassadors are in Singapore to take part in an action-packed week of seminars and workshops in preparation for the inaugural edition of the Youth Olympic Games this August in Singapore. The workshops and forums will focus on societal issues of particular relevance to young people. Reports of their activities will be updated regularly at www.olympic.org/yog.

DID YOU KNOW: The first representation of Saint Valentine appeared in the Nuremberg Chronicle, (1493); alongside the woodcut portrait of Valentine the text states that he was a Roman priest martyred during the reign of Claudius II, known as Claudius Gothicus. He was arrested and imprisoned upon being caught marrying Christian couples and otherwise aiding Christians who were at the time being persecuted by Claudius in Rome. Helping Christians at this time was considered a crime. Claudius took a liking to this prisoner -- until Valentinus tried to convert the Emperor -- whereupon this priest was condemned to death. He was beaten with clubs and stoned; when that didn't finish him, he was beheaded outside the Flaminian Gate. Various dates are given for the martyrdom or martyrdoms.

IN FROM ONE ORGANIZATION. I'm a ONE member, an evangelical minister, and strong believer in protecting this world and its inhabitants. In 2007 and 2008, I had the honor of working with Rabbi David Saperstein and a bipartisan group of senators over comprehensive climate change legislation to help the world´s poorest people overcome terrible suffering threatened by a changing global climate.

That's why I'm taking action and adding my name to ONE's petition calling on our senators to correct this injustice. Click the link below to add your name to ONE's petition:

(LAUSANNE SWITZERLAND) IN FROM THE IOC. The Olympic Museum presents the Olympic Short Film Contest. The Contest is organised in cooperation with Base-court, an association based in Lausanne Switzerland involved in the promotion and the diffusion of short films in Switzerland. The idea is to propose an event to the young people allowing them to express their vision of the Olympism by means of a media they like. The contest is intended for professional and amateur directors, in the audiovisual field, aged at least 18. Every person interested to participate in the competition has to contact one of the partner institutions until 15 May 2009 to be integrated into the preselection phase. The Olympic Short Film Contest operates on the elimination principle, in two stages: the first round and the final. In every stage, the selected candidates realize a short film of a maximum length of 5 minutes, based on a theme imposed by the organizing committee. The first round will start in June 2009 with eight directors competing. Each of the four partner institutions will put forward two directors, who will compete against each other. The films will be posted on the official competition site http://www.olympicshortfilmcontest.com for internet users to vote on, from 1 to 13 July 2009. For the final in August 2009, just four directors will remain in contention, one per partner institution. The candidates will do their filming in Lausanne, Olympic Capital, and will have just one week to produce and edit their film before presenting it on the internet. Internet users will be able to vote on the films between 9 and 21 September 2009 on the official competition website http://www.olympicshortfilmcontest.com. Three prizes will be awarded.

IN FROM ONE. USAID, has partnered with the owner of a coffee bean “washing station.” This station purchases coffee beans (“cherries” actually) from local farmers and then they process the bean through a washing cycle that separates the beans by quality, ready for export. Rwandan coffee farmers are more prosperous than they were before, because their product fetches a higher price on the world market, employing thousands. These specialty coffee beans are sold to Starbucks and specialty coffee shops across America. To accommodate the burgeoning specialty coffee market, these washing stations hire about 200 women to separate and process the beans. These women’s salaries are double what they made before. They use the extra income to pay for medical care and more nutritious food for their children, school supplies, better clothes, and livestock. This is economic development targeted at the poor—a hand-up, not a hand-out.
