LaToya Jackson has claimed her brother Michael was murdered because he was "worth so much more dead than alive".
Speaking during a TV interview, the singer demanded what she called "the truth" surrounding the star's death in June 2009.
She said: "He was murdered for his catalogue and they knew that."
Tomorrow (25 June) marks the one year anniversary of the Thriller singer's death with fans organising tributes around the globe.
'No' accident
Earlier this week music trade magazine Billboard reported that the royalties accumulated since the star's death had earned the Jackson estate $1 billion (£677 million).
In an interview with GMTV she said: "Personally I think it is a slap in the face, not just to Michael but to the entire family. It's totally unfair, it's wrong and it was not an accident."
Asked whether she believed the star was murdered, she added: "I never had a doubt.
"You must remember from the day that I found out that Michael was no longer with us, when my mother screamed 'he's dead' on the phone, I just went into this, 'Who did it?"'
Michael Jackson's personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray has pleaded not guilty to a charge of involuntary manslaughter and is currently awaiting trial.
LaToya's not the only member of the Jackson family talking ahead of the first anniversary of Michael's death.
His brother Jermaine's claiming converting to Islam might have saved his life.
"I felt that if Michael would have embraced Islam he would still be here today," the former Jackson 5 member told the BBC World Service.
I don't know whether the claim LaToya Jacksom is making is true or not, but....

Few ideas to celebrate all the Moms in your life this Mother’s Day. Mother's Day ideas is a way to celebrate all of the influential women in your life - from your mother, to your wife, your mother-in-law, grandmothers, sisters and aunts.
Any special plans or ideas do you have for Mother’s Day?
Given below are some ideas to keep you occupied on the Mother's day:
Wake up early and buy your mother fresh flowers.
Buy her something she really wants, buy/make her a card, say "I love you!" a million times, oh, and give her a HUGE hug!
Gave your mom breakfast in bed- fresh berries and other fruits, and sang to her. If by any chance she's out of town for business, you can still call and sing her a song (a conference call, with everyone together). sweet cards and small gifts for tokens of love.
Contact your parents all past and present via phone, e-mail, remembrance etc. just as long as you don't forget them they will know you still love and care for them.
Everyday is a new day, and you should be celebrating all the mothers day by showing love and respect.
It's funny, how people trash their parents and then once a year shows little bit of love.
There should be mother/daughter generation photo shoot so it would be your mom, you, and your son/daughters. Yeah! sounds pretty cool!
This mother's day, take your mother out to eat to a fancy restaurant. She's only been there once (expensive!), and she says its her favorite. I can't wait to surprise her by taking her there!!! (I've been saving up my allowance for weeks!!)
I know its cheesy.. but I also wrote her a card! Hope she likes it! Love my mom! She's my best friend! Been planning this for months!!
Plan to write, and read, an essay to your mom during service. I am kind of afraid because I know I will cry. haha
Every day we need to love our Mother's and show them respect and care as tokens of love. Not just one day out of the year and to make up for the rest.
Silly how we think we can fit everything into one day, no, it should be all the time. Every day is Mother's Day.
My brothers & I will be going out to dinner with my daughters and my mom, and two sisters and their kids.
If you are a Mom yourself and little older, then you think about the kids, who've given you beautiful grandchildren, and that will make you smile. That's all you need for mothers day. Then you'll finish cleaning...
My friend says, "I think I'm gonna give my mother another chance, and start looking at her as somebody who's capable of doing right, so she can do better in the future. I'm tired of all the bickering and I just wish me and her were on the same page sometimes. And of course we always get up and bring her breakfast in bed and I come up with some new tea or juice concoction for her since she's a health freak".
Make her breakfast, clean the house the day before, and give gifts like every year.
Do a bit more around the house and make sure she gets to put her feet up. Give her presents and breakfast in bed and take her out for lunch. If it's a nice day she'll probably want to go for a walk somewhere.
Every year take your Mom and MIL to a champagne brunch for a totally decadent meal and understand and appreciate each other, it's a real treat.
The only influential women in my family that is around to celebrate is your mother, so take her out for breakfast. Buy her a gift and a card and of course, some flowers! you should spoil your mum because for the rest of the year she spoils you!
My mom writes notes so i'm going to buy a notepad and on the top of every page, write something nice about her/as a note to her. I hope you guys find this article, Mothers Day Ideas, helpful in celebrating this great day!
When is Mothers Day and how come we ought to celebrate this sacred day every year!
Well, the earliest Mother's Day Date and the celebrations can be traced back to the spring celebrations of ancient Greece in honor of Rhea, the Mother of the Gods. During the 1600's, England celebrated a day called "Mothering Sunday". Celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent (the 40 day period leading up to Easter*), "Mothering Sunday" honored the mothers of England. *(For more information on Lent/Easter check out - Easter on the Net) During this time many of the England's poor worked as servants for the wealthy. As most jobs were located far from their homes, the servants would live at the houses of their employers. On Mothering Sunday the servants would have the day off and were encouraged to return home and spend the day with their mothers. A special cake, called the mothering cake, was often brought along to provide a festive touch.
As Christianity spread throughout Europe the celebration changed to honor the "Mother Church" - the spiritual power that gave them life and protected them from harm. Over time the church festival blended with the Mothering Sunday celebration . People began honoring their mothers as well as the church.
When is Mother's Daywas first suggested in the United States, well that was in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe (who wrote the words to the Battle hymn of the Republic) as a day dedicated to peace. Ms. Howe would hold organized Mother's Day meetings in Boston, Mass ever year.
In 1907 Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother's Day. Ms. Jarvis persuaded her mother's church in Grafton, West Virginia to celebrate Mother's Day on the second anniversary of her mother's death, the 2nd Sunday of May. By the next year Mother's Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia.
Ms. Jarvis and her supporters began to write to ministers, businessman, and politicians in their quest to establish a national Mother's Day. It was successful as by 1911 Mother's Day was celebrated in almost every state. President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother's Day as a national holiday that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May.
While many countries of the world celebrate their own Mother's Day at different times throughout the year, there are some countries such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which also celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May.
In Mothers Day Crafts, usually jewelry is always cute..and you can add so much personality into that. Beaded is easy..and you can buy some beautiful glass beads in her favorite color. If she's not into jewelry type stuff...what about coffee or hot chocolate stuff? You can buy some really cute little glass canister type things and put a drink mix in it, and some shakers type stuff in even smaller cute canisters.. (aka: cinnamon-sugar mix for topping hot chocolate and coffee/ vanilla sugar(recipe found on allrecipes.com) that way she can use the premixed stuff and have cute containers to use over and over again.. combine that with some candles and you have a "relaxation kit"
Mothers Day Crafts For Kids
1) You could decorate a picture frame or make a frame out of a file folder and decorate it. Puzzle pieces can be painted and made into decorative things too. Maybe a collage of pictures from magazines decorated like a poster with the other stuff you have available with each kids handprints traced on there too with a message to mom.
2) Fold a piece of construction paper in half and trace the shape of half a heart on the crease and then cut it out.it forms a heart when u open it. Put swirls of glue on it and set out the paint, glitter, beads and stickers, and rip up the tissue paper into small pieces and let them go to town decorating!!! they'll have a blast,
Different countries celebrate Mother's Day on various days of the year because the day has a number of different origins. One school of thought claims this day emerged from a custom of mother worship in ancient Greece. Mother worship — which kept a festival to Cybele, a great mother of gods, and (mythology), the wife of Cronus; was held around the Vernal Equinox around Asia Minor and eventually in Rome itself from the Ides of March (March 15 to March 18). The Romans also had another holiday, Matronalia, that was dedicated to Juno, though mothers were usually given gifts on this day.
In the United States, Mother's Day was copied from England by social activist Julia Ward Howe after the American Civil War with a call to unite women against war. She wrote the Mother's Day Proclamation. In the UK, the day now simply celebrates motherhood and thanking mothers. According to the National Restaurant Association, Mother's Day is now the most popular day of the year to dine out at a restaurant in the United States.
Mothers Day In UK
In most countries, Mother's Day is a new concept copied from western civilization. In many African countries, the idea of one Mother's Day has its origins in copying the British or Mothers Day UK, concept, although there are many festivals and events celebrating mothers within the many diverse cultures on the African continent that have been there centuries before the colonials arrival. In most of East Asia, Mother's Day is a heavily marketed and commercialized concept copied straight from Mother's Day in the USA.
Julia Ward Howe wrote the Mother's Day Proclamation in 1870, as a call for peace and disarmament. Howe failed in her attempt to get formal recognition of a Mother's Day for Peace. Her idea was influenced by Ann Jarvis, a young Appalachian homemaker who, starting in 1858, had attempted to improve sanitation through what she called Mothers' Work Days. She organized women throughout the Civil War to work for better sanitary conditions for both sides, and in 1868 she began work to reconcile Union and Confederate neighbors. In parts of the United States it is customary to plant tomatoes outdoors after mother's day (and not before.)
When Jarvis died, her daughter, named Anna Jarvis, started the crusade to found a memorial day for women. The first such Mother's Day was celebrated in Grafton, West Virginia, on May 10, 1908, in the church where the elder Ann Jarvis had taught Sunday School. Grafton is the home to the International Mother's Day Shrine. From there, the custom caught on — spreading eventually to 45 states. The holiday was declared officially by some states beginning in 1912. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson declared the first national Mother's Day, as a day for American citizens to show the flag in honor of those mothers whose sons had died in war (with specific reference to The Great War, now known as World War I). Nine years after the first official Mother's Day holiday, commercialization of the U.S. holiday became so rampant that Anna Jarvis herself became a major opponent of what the holiday had become. Mother's Day continues to this day to be one of the most commercially successful U.S. holidays.
Mothers day UK is Sunday in Britain Main article: Mothering Sunday Mothering Sunday, commonly called "Mothers' Day" in the United Kingdom, has no direct connection to the American practice. It falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent (exactly three weeks before Easter Sunday). It is believed to have originated from the 16th century Christian practice of visiting one's mother church annually, which meant that most mothers would be reunited with their children on this day. Most historians believe that young apprentices and young women in servitude were released by their masters that weekend in order to visit their families.[1] As a result of secularisation, it is now principally used to celebrate and give thanks for mothers, although it is still recognized in the historical sense by some churches, with attention paid to Mary the mother of Jesus as well as the traditional concept 'mother church'.
Mother's Days in various parts of the world The definition used in this table allows "Womens day" to be treated the same as "Mothers Day".
Mother's Day is celebrated on different days throughout the world. Examining the trends in Google searches for the term "mothers day" shows two major blips, the smaller one on the fourth Sunday in Lent, and the larger one on the second Sunday in May.[2]

There are a number of differences between this strain of influenza and the Spanish 1918 flu epidemic.
First, the primary reason the 1918 Flu Epidemic was so wide spread was partially because so many people were in military camp barracks, where disease can spread rapidly.
Second, healthy individuals had an over-reaction of their immune system, causing excessive secretions in their lungs. This caused secondary bacteria infections, and it is very likely that more people died from bacteria pneumonia than influenza.
Last, that epidemic hit in the middle of winter, when influenza tends to spread faster because people are more confined due to cold weather.
The swine flu of 2009 is a far milder infection than the 1918 Flu Epidemic, and the late spring onset means less chance for a more virulent second wave later in the season.
The symptoms of swine fluin people are similar to the symptoms of regular human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting associated with swine flu.
In the past, severe illness (pneumonia and respiratory failure) and deaths have been reported with swine flu infection in people. Like seasonal flu, swine flu may cause a worsening of underlying chronic medical conditions.
These are the main symptoms of the Swine flu:
Fever
Muscle aches
Lethargy
Coughing
Headache
Sore throat
Runny nose
Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Lack of appetite
People with Higher Risk:
Age of 65 years or older
Chronic health problems (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease)
The measure of how much how deadly is the Swine flu 2010 H1N1, actually is, consider following:
About 17000 people died this year from a sickness that everybody knows very well. Guess what it is... yeah its the flu. And thousands of people die from the regular flu every year but yet the news stations make a huge deal out of the swine flu that has killed like 180 people. Its just the governments way of getting peoples attention off of the real problems at hand like the economy going in the crapper. If you asked me people need to open there eyes and realize they are being doped.
About 100 Mexicans have died. The one person that died in the US was a Mexican who came here for treatment.
It is no worse than the normal flu and it is VERY likely that you won't die from it if you get it.
The challenge of global warming is a reality and can not be ignored; and if somehow it isoverlooked then our future generation will have to face the inevitable disaster.
It is widely accepted & expressed in the conferences at United Nations - U.N, New York, Paris, London and all around the world that our climate actually is in crisis and it happened due to the industrial hazardous exhausts wastesand other chemical emissions into our atmosphere. True, but the real question is what can be done about it right now?
World leaders (people in power) who are supposed to take care of this problem mainly because that’s their job and partly because it’s the moral duty, but they are simply not taking responsibility and keep on shying away from the disaster which is right before our eyes. They have got many excuses to run away from this fact, well they would say, we are now used to the status-co and what’s done is done. It does not pose any clear and present danger right now.
Ironically even though apparently this problem appears to be a very complicated and impossible to solve;
But the Good News is:
It CAN be cured and repaired quite quickly provided there must be a complete realization of the following facts:
A) it is a great problem
B) it can be solved and
C) community of the nations (world) have the capability & capacity to address this mess effectively and efficiently right now.

why is it called earth day? aren't we all on earth everyday , and why do we have to care about earth for just one day , it is just weird.
Exactly. Good question & good response by dripmail. We should do the right thing everyday. It doesn't hurt, however, to have a day to remind us of what is right & focus our attention back to it.
I guess that it is called Earth Day because it is to remind us to do help out the Earth. Well, I guess that if you have Earth Day everyday, not like I am complaining or anything, most people would forget that it is a day to help the Earth, because that's at the same time, Earth Day is hope for future our generations, It might be better if there was more than one day or even every day!
The Bolsa Chica Project (EARTH DAY 2010)
22 April will be Earth day: this event is celebrated since 1970.
The purpose of this day is to remember our world is in danger (just recently ago a group of British scientist in the Artic, proved the North Pole ice will be all melted in the 2019, if we don't do nothing about pollution!
So my question is: How do you gonna celebrate, like start doing something to help the environment? (i'll start go to work by bus)
Welcome to the Happy Easter 2010 celebrations. Its the victory of Jesus Christ over 'death' and at the same time 'hope'for the human beings as a whole for eternal and immortal life. The outline of the 'Happy Easter' background include Christ's apparent crucifixion on the cross, the story of His burial and, lastly, rather most significantly, Jesus' rising from death or in other words resurrection from the planet earth.
Easter Date 2010
Easter Holiday celebrations, the happiest and greatest holiday in the Christian way of life calendar, on that day the Christians all over the world celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
I see many people ask one common question where ever I go, especially amongst the 'Catholic faith' gatherings, and that question is; When Is happy Easter clebrations fall in 2009? or What day is Easter?
The reply to this query is Easter Sunday falls on April 12, 2009. Enjoy!
Jesus' account of trial and subsequent 'death plenty' (execution) is describe in length in the Gospels under historical records. Basically Jesus teachings were rejected and he was condemned by Jewish religious gurus.
The Jews objected and subsequently, rejected the Jesus' claim to be their 'Messiah' - (the future King of Israel from the Davidic line, who will rule the people of united Jewish tribes of Israel, and herald them into Messianic Age of global peace).
The religious authorities of Roman government sentenced Him by death plenty. In the Gospel it is stated that Jesus was apparently tortured very brutally to death by nailing his both hands and feet in the shape of a cross.
In the Gospel records the account of Jesus shows that; three days after His apparent death some local women and His loyal disciples found His tomb empty. To their astonishment, the Jesus appeared in front of them alive, talking and eating fresh honey corn besides them. The disciples couldn't believe, after all that brutal torture He can still talk with smiles and eat food like a alive human being. They thought this was one of His another miracles that he used to present by help of God, as He said in the Bible "I can't do nothing, but, by the help of Almighty God".
The disciples were in shock and full of doubts, thinking may be God have mercy upon him and kept him unharmed and alive somehow. But still they wanted to 'check-him-out', one of the disciple actually touched him to see if He is the spirit or a man with flesh and bones who is standing in front of them unharmed after all that brutal punishment and torture.
The following next forty days, tens of hundreds of people witnessed by their own eyes the Jesus who was able to returned from death until He ascended to Heaven. Jesus had promised his people the eternal life to those who follow his teachings. If he wouldn't had showed himself off after his death, Jesus Christ would have been no more than just a religious scholar with a finite time period.
But the as a matter of fact he rose from death, is a clear demonstration that he had the power over death, and therefore, only through his teachings people can hope for eternal life and would pass for Haven admission.
