Saint Joseph's Day, 19 March, the Feast of St. Joseph or Solemnity of Saint Joseph is in Western Christianity the principal feast day of Saint Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is a Solemnity in the Roman Catholic Church, a feast in the provinces of the Anglican Communion, and a feast or festival in the Lutheran Church. Saint Joseph's Day is the Patronal Feast day for persons named Joseph, Josephine, etc., for religious orders, schools and parishes bearing his name, and for carpenters. It is also Father's Day in some Catholic countries, namely Spain, Portugal, Belgium and Italy.
This date was already dedicated to Saint Joseph in several Western calendars in the tenth century. It was accepted in Rome in 1479, and in 1621 it was inserted into the General Roman Calendar for celebration throughout the Latin Rite. Since it always falls within Lent, Episcopal Conferences may, if they wish, transfer it to a date outside Lent.

Studying the obvious
Do you forget where you parked the car? Do you search for words? Well, we’ve got bad news for you: New research shows that mental abilities peak at age 22 — and start to decline by age 27.
University of Virginia researchers tested more than 2,000 men and women between the ages of 18 and 60, over the course of seven years, asking them to solve puzzles, take memory tests and spot patterns. They discovered that in nine of the 12 tests, the 22-year-olds came out on top.
By the age of 27, peak scores started to go south for tests of reasoning, speed of thought and spatial visualization. By 37, memory was starting to diminish.
The silver lining? According to the Daily Mail, the report states that "abilities based on accumulated knowledge, such as performance on tests of vocabulary or general information, increase until at least the age of 60."

West Virginia Lawmaker Jeff Eldridge Seeks Barbie Ban
Now that she’s turning 50, Barbie may find herself an outlaw in West Virginia!
Democratic Delegate Jeff Eldridge proposed a bill Tuesday that would ban the iconic doll and all of her plastic clones. The measure, creatively entitled the "Barbie Ban Bill," claims such toys perpetuate unhealthy, unrealistic stereotypes for young girls and women: "I just hate the image that we give to our kids that if you’re beautiful, you’re beautiful, and you don’t have to be smart."

Hard times for Hogan?
2 days ago
CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — Hulk Hogan's lawyers have asked a judge to grant the former professional wrestler access to some of his funds that were frozen while his pending divorce is resolved.
Attorneys for Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, filed documents Monday asking that he be given $300,000 from the frozen assets. In December, Linda Bollea was granted $400,000 to pay attorneys' fees.
Hogan claims back surgery he had last month will keep him from working for a time. The motion said he has nearly $411,000 in his bank account and his bills top $312,000.
A hearing is scheduled Thursday on the issue.
