As a travel writer, I'm always looking for new tools I can use to help plan my trips. Lately, there's been lots of talk about a social media site called Pinterest, a free online photo bulletin board that's popular with designers, foodies and crafts people.
But could you use it to plan trips? Well, yes. It turns out that the travel industry, as well as individual travelers, are starting to use this visual social platform with interesting results.
The photos make it easy for a traveler to quickly scan a destination's food, architecture or historic sites. If you're intrigued by a picture, a click on it will take you to more content.
For instance, the Pinterest page of Westchester-Frederick Country, Va., (www.pinterest.com/winchesterva) has a category called "Events & Attractions." Click on the photo of singer Patsy Cline, and you'll be taken to details on touring the house where she lived from ages 16 to 21, as well as a video of her music.
The Pinterest page of Savannah, Ga., (www.pinterest.com/visitsavannah/) also is pulling in traffic, with boards such as "Haunted Savannah," "Shop Savannah" and "Savannah Hotels" (with some photos linking to online reservations).
Search tips
Look for the red Pinterest button on travel websites you visit; a click on it will take you to their Pinterest profiles.
Use the site's search box (next to the magnifying glass icon).
Do both a "Boards" and a "People" search (below the regular search box) for keywords such as resorts, hotels, tourism, CVB (conventions and visitors bureaus), visits, vacations, etc. You'll often get different results.
Pinterest pages
Tourism offices. To find the Pinterest pages of tourism offices from Australia to Wyoming, go to http://www.pinterest.com/annehornyak/cvbs-on-pinterest.
Magazines. Check out Budget Travel — I like its "Travel Deals to Get Now" board at http://www.pinterest.com/budgettravel — or Travel & Leisure Asia and its "Food & Drink in Asia" board at http://www.pinterest.com/travleisureasia/.
Television. The Travel Channel — its "Travel Bucket List" board is great for ideas at http://www.pinterest.com/TravelChannel/.
Travel agencies and consultants. I enjoy Croft Global Travel's "Travel Apps That Rock" board at http://www.pinterest.com/CGT/.
Even government agencies are getting in on the action: The Army Corps of Engineers features water-based "Recreation" ideas on its page at http://www.pinterest.com/usace/.
Travel writers also are signing up. Peter Greenberg, travel editor for CBS News, said he's "using it for my travel photos as well as travel food and hot destinations" (www.pinterest.com/petergreenberg). His boards include "One Tank Trips" and "Where to Travel in 2012."
Then, too, there's John DiScala, a.k.a. Johnny Jet, who runs a popular website on travel resources. DiScala wrote in an email that he's "been on Pinterest for a couple months now." For trip ideas, check out his board "Travel Style," showcasing the likes and dislikes of some of the industry's celebrated travelers, at http://www.pinterest.com/johnny_jet/.
More uses
Arranging a family trip? Make a Pinterest page with boards such as "Eateries to Try," "Museum Must-Sees" or "Hotels to Consider." Invite family members to add their two cents by "pinning" their photos and comments to the boards. Then, devise an itinerary on which everyone can agree.
Let's say you're looking for great sunglasses, flip-flops or an offbeat backpack. Plug in the keyword and you're presented with a picture gallery of your travel must-haves. Compare offerings and find faves; you can often click to buy.
Keep in mind that Pinterest pages vary in their helpfulness in travel planning. It's a new platform, and the travel industry is still figuring out how best to use it. Even Pinterest itself is trying to figure things out, especially concerning copyrights. Check its terms of service for more information.

An all-over strengthening and shaping program that new moms can do with their babies
Now that your baby has arrived, you may be wondering which you'll regain sooner: your prepregnancy shape or a sense of control in your life. Thankfully, an exercise program could be the solution to both. "A lot of postpartum women tend to get swamped with 'just baby,'" says Michelle Mottola, Ph.D., director of the Exercise and Pregnancy Lab at the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada. "Every postpartum woman needs to take time out for herself. Exercise is a good way to do that because you feel you've done something for yourself."
Many medical practitioners advise waiting until after your first postpartum examination (typically six weeks after delivery) to resume an exercise program. But a new mom can begin walking and doing strengthening moves for her abdominal, lower-back and pelvic muscles day one after delivery, as long as she had a normal vaginal birth.
"The exercises done at the early stages of the program help lay the foundation for exercises done later on," says Lynn Allen, a certified aerobics instructor in Lawrence, Kan. Allen has trained many new moms and is a mother herself of an infant and toddler. She also is the former corporate fitness director for Universal Gym Equipment and current adviser to the Fitness Products Council.
Once you feel energetic enough to start doing mild- to moderate-intensity exercise like walking, swimming or low-impact aerobics, you'll begin to build and tone your muscles, increase endurance, release stress and gain energy. You then can move on to our recovery program on page 106, an at-home option that most women can begin six weeks after delivery. It's a total-body strengthening workout that targets areas new moms say they need to work: gluteals, abdominals and legs.
Allen acknowledges that as much as you need time to yourself and want your old bod back, it may be hard to leave your baby. Therefore, her routine includes four exercises you can do with your baby and four without. And remember Allen's been-there-done-that advice: "Be patient in getting your shape and form back. It will come. It's been there before; it will be there again."
Getting-It-Back Basics
The purpose of these exercises is to rehabilitate muscles most stressed by pregnancy and delivery — those involving the pelvic floor, abdominals, and upper and lower back. These exercises will increase functional strength and prevent injury to vulnerable muscles and connective tissue. Child-rearing tasks, such as lifting children, can strain muscles in the torso, shoulders and lower back.
day 1 to week 3
You can begin the following gentle exercises and stretches the day after delivery with your physician's approval.
1. Kegels Contract the muscles around the vagina (imagine you are stopping a stream of urine) and hold for 10 seconds, then slowly release. Aim for 5 sets of 10 reps at a time; do 3–4 times during the day. Strengthens pelvic-floor muscles.
2. Standing Shoulder Blade Pinches To work on posture, stand with your feet hip-width apart, legs straight but not locked, arms relaxed by your sides. Contract your abdominals to bring your pelvis into neutral alignment. Keeping shoulders relaxed, squeeze your shoulder blades down and back as if trying to hold a pencil between them. Begin with 10–15 reps, building to 2 sets of 20 reps. Strengthens upper-back muscles.
3. Cat Back Stretch Begin on all fours, knees under hips and arms under shoulders, back straight and in a neutral position. Inhale, then exhale and round spine up toward the ceiling, tucking tailbone underneath and relaxing your head and neck. Inhale and return to just past the neutral position, slightly arching spine, head up. Do 4–6 reps. Stretches back muscles and strengthens abdominals.
4. Belly Breathing Lie on your back in bed or on the floor, knees bent, feet flat. Inhale and expand your abdomen, then contract abs as tightly as possible, pulling navel in toward your spine. At the same time, tilt pelvis upward, bringing hips toward lower ribs. Begin with 10 reps and aim for at least 15 reps per day. When you can do 15 reps, begin to lift head, neck and shoulders up with each ab contraction. Strengthens abdominals.
5. Hamstring Stretch Lying flat in bed or on the floor, bend your right knee in toward your chest, and wrap a towel around arch of the right foot. Holding an end in each hand, straighten leg in the air until you feel a stretch in the rear of the thigh. Hold for 20–30 seconds, then point and flex your foot 10 times to begin to loosen calves. Repeat with other leg. Stretches hamstrings and calves.
(You also can include any other light stretching for major muscles: quadriceps, upper and lower back, chest and shoulders.)
weeks 3–6
Continue with exercises 1–5; add or substitute some of the exercises listed below as you are ready.
6. All-Fours Belly Breathing Begin on all fours, knees under hips and arms under shoulders. Inhale, then exhale as you contract abs and release. Do 10 reps, building to 20. Strengthens abdominals.
7. Opposite Arm and Leg Lift Begin on all fours, knees under hips and arms under shoulders. Lift and then straighten left leg to hip height and right arm to shoulder height without arching back. Lower and repeat. Work up to 8–10 reps per side, then switch sides. Strengthens back, abdominals, legs, buttocks, rear of thighs and shoulders.
8. Split Lunge Stand with right foot in front of left, the length of a long stride, feet hip-width apart, left heel lifted. Hold a chair for balance. Bend both knees so your right knee is directly over your right ankle and your left knee points down. Straighten legs. Do 10 reps and switch legs; build to 15 reps for each leg. Strengthens quadriceps, hamstrings and buttocks.
9. Wall Sit Lean against a wall with feet hip-width apart, pointed forward. Bend knees and lower thighs to parallel position. Hold for 10-15 seconds; build to 30 seconds. Strengthens quadriceps and increases torso stability.
six-week recovery program
(with baby)
Do the following exercises either holding your baby or with baby placed in a front carrier on your chest.
1. Bent Knee Good Mornings Stand with your feet hip-width apart, knees bent. Hold your baby to the middle of your chest with both hands. Support her head with 1 hand and forearm and her bottom with the other hand and arm. Contract your abdominals and squeeze your shoulder blades together, shoulders relaxed. Keeping your abs tight and back straight, bend your knees a little more as you bend forward from your hips until your back is almost parallel to the floor, still holding your baby close to your torso. Keeping knees bent, raise torso to standing position; repeat. Strengthens mid- and lower back.
2. Bent-Over Row Stand with your feet hip-width apart, knees bent. Cradle your baby, face up, lying across forearms, palms up. Keeping abdominals contracted and back straight, bend forward from your hips until your torso is at a 45-degree angle. Straighten your arms as much as possible, still cradling baby. Using your midback muscles, bend your elbows up and back toward your waist, bringing baby toward you. Slowly straighten arms and repeat. Note: Once your baby can support her head, do this movement holding her vertically with both hands under her arms. Strengthens biceps, and mid- and lower back.
3. Sit Squats Stand with your back to the seat of a chair, feet hip-width apart, legs straight but not locked. Hold your baby to your chest either with your hands or strapped into a front carrier. Contract abdominals so your tailbone points toward the floor; squeeze shoulder blades together. Keeping your back straight and body weight back toward your heels, bend knees, lowering torso into a squat as if to sit down into the chair. When the backs of your thighs just barely touch the chair, straighten legs to starting position; repeat. Strengthens quadriceps, hamstrings, buttocks and calves.
To progress: When you can do this move comfortably, lift up on toes as you return to standing position.
4. Chair Dips Place your baby in a front carrier on your chest, then sit on the edge of a sturdy chair or bench. Place hands on the front edge of the chair close to your buttocks, arms straight and fingers curled lightly over the edge. Walk your feet out in front of you so knees are at a 90-degree angle, thighs parallel to the floor; remove your buttocks from the seat so you're supported by your arms and your buttocks are close to the edge of the seat. Your back should be straight, abdominals contracted. Bend elbows to lower torso vertically toward floor; don't let elbows flare outward. Look straight ahead, keeping buttocks and back close to the seat as you lift and lower your body. Straighten arms to starting position without locking your elbows. Strengthens triceps.
To progress: Walk legs out and away from you so you're balanced on your heels.
(without baby)
5. Push-Ups Begin on your hands and knees, arms straight and directly beneath your shoulders, knees behind your hips. Contract your abdominals so your head, neck, spine, hips and knees form a straight line. Inhale, bend elbows, and lower yourself toward the floor until your elbows are even with your shoulders. Exhale, and push yourself back up to the starting position in a straight line without collapsing your torso; repeat. Note: If these push-ups are too difficult, place knees under your hips, or do them standing with your hands against a wall. Strengthens chest, front shoulders and triceps.
6. Basic Crunch Lie on the floor, knees bent and feet a comfortable distance from your buttocks. Place hands behind your head, fingertips touching but not clasped. Contract your abs inward toward your spine, buttocks relaxed so your back is as close to the floor as possible. Inhale. Exhale, contracting abs toward your spine as you lift your head, neck and shoulder blades off the floor. Slowly lower and repeat. Note: if you still have a diastasis after pregnancy, you may need to splint. Strengthens abdominals.
7. Alternating Lunges Stand with feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent, hands on your hips. Take a step forward with your right foot, bending both knees so your right knee is in line with your ankle and left knee is pointing toward the ground, heel lifted and torso erect. Push off the ball of your right foot, straightening legs; return to starting position. Repeat, alternating with the left leg. Note: If necessary, hold a chair for support to start. Strengthens quadriceps, hamstrings, buttocks and calves.
To progress: Hold a 3- to 8-pound dumbbell in each hand, arms hanging by your sides.
8. Partial Clean Stand with your feet hip-width apart, legs straight but not locked, and weight centered. Contract your abdominals so pelvis is in a neutral position, tailbone pointing down. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with an overhand grip, arms hanging naturally by your sides. Squeezing shoulder blades together, bend elbows out to your sides to pull dumbbells upward. When elbows reach shoulder height, rotate arms forward so elbows point toward the floor and palms face forward, all in a smooth, fluid movement. Swing elbows backward so knuckles face the floor, and lower arms to starting position; repeat. Begin with 2–3 pounds and build to 5–8 pounds. Strengthens upper and middle back and shoulders.

For a faithful GetReligion reader such as myself, joining the team of contributors is like a baseball fan invited to sit in the press box and share his opinions during the World Series. Although it's not quite in the same league as my beloved Texas Rangers, I'm a big fan of this weblog and its endeavor to pinpoint and expose the religion ghosts in the secular news media.
A bit about me: I'm a journalist with 20 years of experience as a reporter and editor for secular and religious media ranging from The Associated Press to The Christian Chronicle. My baptism into the exciting and complicated world of religion writing -- baptism by fire, you might say -- came in 1999 when top editors at The Oklahoman assigned me to cover Pope John Paul II's visit to St. Louis.
After nearly 10 years in the newspaper business, I knew how to chase fire trucks and police cars and burn the midnight oil with city councils and school boards. But my knowledge of the Roman Catholic Church was scant. Honestly, I had no idea what a diocese was. I didn't know the difference between a bishop and a cardinal. I had heard of the pope.
Despite a mild case of fear and trembling, I researched the basics of Catholic faith and prepared to handle the assignment. I wrote three or four Page 1 stories the week of the pope's visit. My favorite focused on a youth event where Catholic teens jammed to the ear-piercing beat of DC Talk's "Jesus Freak" before welcoming to the stage a gray-haired pontiff who walked with a cane.
A Church of Christ preacher's son with a journalism degree from Oklahoma Christian University, I was pleased to discover that I could maintain the traditional standards of journalism, striving to treat the faith of others with respect while not compromising my own beliefs.
When The Oklahoman's religion editor position became open, I left the state desk and wrote about Mormons, Muslims and many other faiths full time. I covered the Southern Baptist Convention annual meetings and the Catholic clergy sexual abuse scandals.
In 2002, I went to work for The Associated Press in Nashville. I later transferred to the AP bureau in Dallas. At AP, I received what I would describe as graduate-level instruction in religion reporting from Godbeat pros Richard Ostling and Rachel Zoll.
With AP, I wrote about battling Baptists and Episcopalians too; about e-tithing, frequent-flier rabbis and potbellied preachers; about Joel Osteen, T.D. Jakes and the Ed Youngs; about how Jesus would vote and the Knights of Columbus too; and about a million different ways (I'm exaggerating) that religion touches our culture and lives, from Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ movie to two Holocaust survivors finding each other after 60 years.
AP photographer LM Otero and I joined a Pentecostal group from Texas for a week at an orphanage in violence-ridden Juarez, Mexico. The 2,300-word story of what compelled these charismatic Christians from hundreds of miles away to spend a week in a Mexican border town made the front page of several newspapers nationwide, including the Los Angeles Times' early Sunday edition.
Twice in my time with AP, I was named a national finalist for the Religion Newswriters Association's Supple Religion Writer of the Year Award.
I left AP in 2005 to become managing editor of The Christian Chronicle, an international newspaper for Churches of Christ. I cover national news and write the Inside Story column for the Chronicle, the top national newspaper in the 2009 "Best of the Christian Press" contest sponsored by the Associated Church Press. I also write freelance stories for Christianity Today, Religion News Service and other media. Given my Chronicle work, I'll refrain from any GetReligion posts related to Churches of Christ or other streams of the Stone-Campbell Movement.
I look forward to spending time with you at GetReligion and joining in this important conversation. In case you can't tell, I'm extremely excited about this opportunity -- even if it doesn't come with free hot dogs and peanuts.

Latin America/Caribbean: New Book Raises Awareness About Girls With HIV
The impact of AIDS on the lives of HIV-positive girls in Latin America and the Caribbean is the focus a new book published by the regional chapter of the International Community of Women Living with HIV/AIDS (ICWLHA), with support from UNICEF.
"Ynisiquierallore" ("And I Didn't Even Cry") tells the personal stories of infected young women in the region. "We decided to publish this book so that these girls would no longer be invisible and so that through their incredible experiences they can show us how they handle the diagnosis, which they do much better than adults, and can teach us a lesson about living," said Rosa Dunaway, a representative of the Honduran chapter of ICWLHA.
Considerable debate among the ICWLHA's Latina chapter preceded the book's publication, but in the end the group decided to go forward with the project, carefully balancing the desire to tell the stories with the need to ensure the girls' privacy. "The agreement was to fully respect [the girls'] rights and needs, to go at their own pace, without forcing them, and also listen to their demands, to what they need," said Patricia Perez, the group's regional secretary.
The book was presented at the recent Fourth Latin American and Caribbean Forum on HIV/AIDS and STDs, which attracted some 3,000 people to Buenos Aires, Argentina. At that meeting, conferees discussed ways to boost prevention and improve access to antiretrovirals. Pan American Health Organization chief Dr. Mirta Roses said AIDS kills 240 people in the region prematurely each day, and 450 more people become infected with HIV. The fifth forum is scheduled for 2009 in Peru.

MADISON, Wis.—The secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says a $500,000 grant to a politically connected sportsmen's group has been rescinded at the request of Gov. Scott Walker.
In a statement, Secretary Cathy Stepp said Walker canceled the grant to United Sportsmen of Wisconsin, which was to recruit sportsmen and women for hunting, trapping and fishing.
The grant came under scrutiny recently after questions were raised about United Sportsmen's federal tax-exempt status. President Andy Pantzlaff assured members of the grant committee that the group had secured tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service. But Wednesday, the group issued a statement saying Pantzlaff was mistaken.
The grant cancellation also came shortly after the Journal Sentinel ( http://bit.ly/17c8xTP) asked state officials about a 2005 case in which Pantzlaff was cited for hunting with an improper license.

C'mon now, Harden and KLove don't play any D either! I got Melo OUTSIDE of the top 10 picks. That's the steal of the round so far, IMO. Arguably the best scorer on the planet - certainly, the most versatile scorer - 4th in PER, 7th in EWA. I was toying around acting like I was gonna get him at #4, but at #11? Please. That's a no-brainer.

Post subject: Dried Mushrooms
I've never had to use dried mushrooms, because when I lived full time in Chicago, good mushrooms were a 10 minute car trip away.
However, when I am in the country and I need to grocery shop at TinyTown USA grocery stores (my name, not theirs), I find that WHITE button mushrooms are the ONLY type they carry.
The only "experience" that I have with dried mushrooms is reading about them in a Willa Cather story, and the person who received them, not knowing what a delicacy they were, promptly threw them out!
My grocery DOES carry dried: morels, shittake, wood, enoli?, and other sorts, but before I hand over the cash, I need to know:
*Do they taste AS good as fresh?
*Do they "all taste the same" when re-hydrated?
*Do they taste/feel rubbery?
And....HOW do you rehydrate them, as the packages don't include ANY instructions.
I am expecting a HUGE crop of morel mushrooms in my back yard this Spring, so if you know, I'd also like to know how to dry morel mushrooms, or for that matter, any that I pick up in the market.
And I'm NOT interested in buying a commercial dehydrator! I did that 'gig' in the 70's....

I just cover them with boiling water for an hour or so, and sometimes I use the liquid in the dish. I have always gotten good results using dried mushrooms and have used morels, porcinis and chanterelle. I feel they all produced a strong final product especially the porcinis.
Have fun, they are easy to use!

Lucky you to have a variety of fresh mushrooms. I can only get morels & porchini dried so I couldn't compare the them to fresh but they are very nice cooked into sauces.
I rehydrate mine in a jar of warmish water. I strain out the liquid and use it too.

Hey, Erin and Rainey: thanks for the info! It's weird how my wee grocery stores will have such a plethora of dried mushrooms (exotic to be sure) yet they only sell icky button mushrooms as fresh.
Rainey: people kept roaming the woods that adjoin my cottage, in spring, and I couldn't figure out "what they lost". So, I finally went out and asked a Dad and Son, and they said that they were "Mushroom hunting!"
They came over to my place and found a pound of morels....I had NO IDEA at all that they were here, so I split it with them and they were thrilled. The wee boy continued to look at my property, found another pound under some elm leaves but gave me the entire amount. You should have heard this little tyke, all of about 9 years old: he was advising me the best way to saute them, to cook with them!
A chef in the making, to be sure!

I'm just going to emphasize what Rainey mentioned. STRAIN the juice you've rehydrated the 'shrooms in as they can often be a bit gritty.

i've had stellar dried varieties and horrible fresh ones (they weren't maintained very well at the shop). I think the dried ones are a safe bet. just let them steep in warm water until soft. and david is right, strain the liquid otherwise you're dish will end up kinda crunchy. the liquor is gorgeous, i would never throw it out. we used dried porcini in a mushroom risotto and saved the mushroom juices. we reduced it with a bit of barolo (not enough dough to buy more than a bottle, so every bit of your one counts) and drizzled that over and around the plate. talk about finger lickin' good.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
While Israelis from the right and left of the political spectrum argue over the future of Jerusalem, Palestinian leaders say the eastern half of the holy city is already in their hands.
In his weekly radio address last week, Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad announced that his government would soon resume administrative duties in eastern Jerusalem neighborhoods.
Fayyad noted that the PA had already allocated half-a-million dollars to altering the curriculum in Arab schools in Jerusalem, and that it would also bolster health and judicial services.
The move is a direct violation of the Palestinians' signed agreements with Israel, which prohibit Palestinian administrative activity in Jerusalem. It is seen as part of the new Palestinian Authority strategy of unilaterally seizing control of the lands it claims and winning international backing for sovereignty over them.
Of special concern are the changes to the curriculum in Arab schools. The new textbooks that Fayyad's government is bringing in deny the Jews' right to live in Israel and even contain excerpts of the infamous Czarist blood libel The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Fayyad claimed that with eastern Jerusalem in Palestinians hands, the city would become a symbol of peace and coexistence, but the schoolbook changes in particular show that the Palestinians are only interested in sowing the seeds of hate and continued conflict.

New Insights Gained About High-Risk Platelets from Diabetic Donors
Study identifies 122 proteins whose abundances differs in diabetic, non-diabetic platelets
A mass spectrometry-based proteomics study was performed on human plasma platelets collected from healthy (at left) and type-2 diabetics (at right) stored for transfusion. A proteomic approach by scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory identified changes in 122 proteins in type-2 diabetic platelets relative to the nondiabetic controls and 117 proteins whose abundances changed during a 5-day storage period. These are the first studies to characterize the proteome of platelets from diabetics before and after storage for transfusion. The identified differences allow researchers to formulate new hypotheses and experimentation to improve clinical outcomes by targeting "high risk platelets" that render platelet transfusion less effective or unsafe. Enlarged View
The following is adapted from a highlight that appeared on the American Chemical Society Office of Public Affairs' Weekly PressPac
Results: Amid emerging concerns that blood platelets donated for transfusion by individuals with Type 2 diabetes may be unsafe, scientists are reporting the first detailed identification and quantification of proteins in the platelets from diabetic donors. The study could lead to screening tests to detect and monitor these "high risk platelet preparations," say researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Washington State University-Tri-Cities, and the University of Rochester. Their study appeared in the May issue of the Journal of Proteome Research.
About 18 million people in the United States have type 2 diabetes, and the disease is spreading with the epidemic of obesity.
Why it matters: Thousands of patients receive potentially lifesaving transfusions of platelets each year to treat bleeding from trauma and for a wide range of medical conditions. Scientists have known that activated platelets in the blood of diabetics may predispose these individuals to heart disease. This led to the concern that platelets from these individuals stored for transfusion may be less effective and even unsafe. However, scientists know little about how diabetic platelets differ from those of healthy people.
In this study, Dr. David Springer, a biochemist at PNNL, and colleagues identified 122 proteins whose abundances differ in the platelets of individuals with diabetes compared to the platelets of non-diabetics. They also found that freshly collected platelets from diabetics show almost as many changes (more than 100) in protein abundance as healthy donor platelets stored for up to 5 days. These findings could lead to new tests for detecting and monitoring abnormal platelets to improve the outcome of blood transfusions from both diabetic and healthy individuals.
Methods: The researchers used mass spectrometry-based proteomics at the U.S. Department of Energy's Environmental Molecular Science Laboratory, a national scientific user facility at PNNL, on platelets from healthy and type 2 diabetics collected at the University of Rochester Blood Bank. They also investigated the role of transfusion storage, including diabetes effects on the platelet proteome. Their approach enabled highly sensitive detection of a variety of molecular species in platelets from diabetics.

The pageantry of the non-conference schedule was come to an end and conference play is blooming like a brand new flower. And that small flower has already rocked the national scene.
In a two parts, I will look at major college basketball and highlight all that is good and all that is bad. First to the teams that have been disappointing but with room to improve
When looking at the what has already taken place, everything must be taken with a "grain of salt". Strengths can only prove so much against lesser competition, but the weaknesses can show wholes in a prevouslt thought solid team.
Conference play is the great equalizer, everyone knows it. So UNC lose to Boston College should not be too surprised- I am most surprised it happen on UNC's home court. But what the "pre-conference season" does for the fans is give us an idea of how well your favorite team match-ups against cupcakes and the occasional meeting of powerhouses in the tournaments and challenges.
Or if you are Gonzaga you stuff your non-conference with tough games because there are only two teams that SHOULD give you problems in conference play. But they are have their own troubles losing four out of their last five game.
And now, the most disappointing teams of the 2008-09 College basketball season thus far.
Louisville Cardinals
I really don't know what to say. No team has underperformed like the Louisville Cardinals. Was this season's team and talent over-hyped? Or was David Padgent under-appreciated? The Cardinals are 9-3 and a 30 foot last second shot to beat Kentucky away from 8-4.
Louisville have dominated in their nine wins, only Kentucky and Mississippi lost by less than ten. In the three games they lost however, the Cardinals shot 32 percent from the field and 28 percent from behind the arc. Nowhere near their 43 percent and 35 percent averages.
The Big East is tough and this team was expected to compete for the conference title. They still could, but not in the current form.
Solution: Steady point guard play. Maybe after his game winning shot Sunday, Edgar Sosa has earned Rick Pitino's trust and can start dishing out assists. Two other players, both forwards, average more assists per game than Sosa; Terrance Williams with 4.7 and Earl Clark with 3 per game.
Gonzaga Bull Dogs
After years of being the tournament Cinderella, the glass slipper has been smashed to pieces this season as the Bulldogs were a Final Four pick by many of the experts. But 8-4 is not the start that shows you are now "a team to beat".
Gonzaga are infamous for playing a difficult non-conference schedule. This season they match-up with Tennessee twice, Arizona, UConn, Washington State, and Maryland.
At moments, The 'Zags look unstoppable. Other times, they look like a bunch a kids waiting for the teacher to tell them what to do. Mark Few needs to give direction to this offensive juggernaut and tell Austin Daye he does need to shoot EVERY TIME HE TOUCHES THE BALL. Just grab some more rebounds and block more shots. His draft status is fine.
Solution: Three point shooting. Six players have each taken over 20 three point shots totaling 227 and they have made only 77 for 34 percent. Best is center/forward Josh Heytvelt at 47 percent and worst is point guard Jeremy Pargo at 26 percent.
Tennessee Volunteers
I like Tyler Smith. His game reminds me of former Wake Forrest star Josh Howard, without the America bashing. But Smith cannot do it alone. This team needs a consistent second scorer. Wayne Chism, I am talking to you.
In a game against Marquette, Chism had one of the best performances of the season. He scored 21 points in the second half and finished with 26 points and 11 boards and was un-guardable. But against a much lesser team, Belmont, Chism only puts up six points and 12 rebounds in a Volunteer two point victory. Wayne, you are too good.
There are six players who average nine points are more. Smith leads with 17.3 and next is Chism at 12.3. Maybe Scottie Hopson can become that person, but he needs to find shots in the offense. This team can score, but it ends of games is seems that no one wants to take the shot.
Solution: Wayne Chism with a little bit more from the freshmen.
Memphis Tigers
So long Derrick Rose. Take care of yourself Chris Douglas-Roberts. Call us soon Joey Dorsey. The Tigers lost too much. The teams best playmaker, best offensive player and best banger.
Like Tennessee, Memphis cannot replace with dynamic talents that made them an extremely successful last season. While Tyreke Evans is a good player – he may end up a great player – he is not yet playing at the level people were expecting.
Evans is leading the Tigers in scoring with 16.9, but at times he forces the play when the offense becomes stale. Rose was able to get to the rim against any player. Evans struggles to get much more than jumpers and he is only shooting 28 percent from distance.
As a team, they are shooting 29 percent from three point range. With only two players – forward Robert Dozier and guard Roburt Sallie – shooting anywhere near 40 percent. And for a team whose offense is pretty much a glorified drive and kick, The Tigers need to shoot better.
Solution: Three point-shooting mixed with a little more toughness. They miss Joey Dorsey.
*Disclaimer – Memphis lost three games. But they to quality teams; Xavier, Gonzaga – yes I still consider them quality, and Syracuse.
USC Trojans
I had high hopes for the Trojans. I thought they would say goodbye to O.J. Mayo and move on. But with loses to Oregon State, Seton Hall and Missouri, I think my faith is gone.
Statistical they look good. Dwight Lewis leads the team in scoring with 16.1 ppg and Taj Gibson is averaging a double-double. They also have Daniel Hackett and DeMar DeRozan in double figure scoring as well.
But here is a stat that might tell the story. As a team, their assist to turnover ratio is 1:1.2. Hackett alone dishes out 6 assits per game and then loses the ball 4.1 times a game. USC gives the ball over 16 times a game which is most in the PAC-1o.
DeRozan is also shooting zero percent from three. He has taken 14 shots, just missed them all. As a team the Trojans shoot 33 percent from behind the arc. With the many missed threes and amount of turnovers, there are a lot of empty possessions.
Solution: Ball handling. There are a lot of weapons on this team, but there are useless if you can't give them the ball.
Dishonorable Mention
Michigan State – you give them the lose to UNC. But not to Maryland, not by 18.
UAB – have five losses against four good teams, but will still compete in C-USA.


text: Hello, I have myself an intel NUC with Mint Cinnamon (Gnome) running as a home theater computer. This machine is connected by HDMI to a home stereo system that has a built in HDMI switcher (there is only 1 HDMI input on my TV but I have 4 HDMI devices). I am finding that everything works beautifully if I booth the PC on the correct input (4th input) and do not change inputs on the stereo to another device. If I change inputs to another device and come back, I will get a snowy display (like back in the days of a channel being unavailable). My solution thus far has been to VNC to that PC from another PC, change the resolution down and then change it back. Then it works. But this sucks and absolutely requires a keyboard/mouse and VNC which isn't cool for a HTPC. Help me HowTO forge, you're my only hope! Ryan

The people of Henry County and the City of Eminence are fortunate to have chosen a group of their fellow citizens to take responsibility for the community's most precious resource and a key to its future – children and their educational opportunities.
Thanks for help with Nativity
We wish to thank everyone who had a part in any way with the Bethlehem Living Nativity this year.
It takes a lot of very dedicated people who give their time and talents to make sure this great tradition continues each and every year.
May you all be blessed with the love of our Savior Jesus Christ throughout this new year and beyond. Until next year!
The Bethlehem Living Nativity Committee
One of the hallmarks of the holidays is that there never seems to be a shortage of good food to eat. From turkey on Thanksgiving to homemade candy at Christmas, it's usually easy to find something to fill up a plate.
Increasingly, there's a strong chance that this food has a Kentucky connection as well, though that may not always be readily known when we reach into the pantry or the refrigerator.
I applaud the project to provide community opportunities to help with the upkeep on the Eminence cemetery. It is one of the ways that individuals can get involved to make sure that the cemeteries in the country are well maintained.
Hats off to a 14-year-old who single-handedly planned, acquired, organized and carried off a fun and festive evening for Light Up Pleasureville.
Many of us adults could learn from this young man's interest, zeal and determination for the betterment of our community. How extraordinary! Our out-of-town guests were in awe that it takes a 14-year-old to set the example!
And a big thank you to Santa (Tom Smith)! You certainly impressed my granddaughters with your wisdom!
Enjoy your Christmas gifts.
Christmas is the most wonderful day of the year because it celebrates the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ, but some of us think of it as a time to receive gifts. I would like to ask you a question: do you have a home, clothes to wear, food to eat, a job, and a family and friends that love you?
If you can answer with a yes, then you are enjoying the most precious gifts that anyone could ask for, so what else would anyone need if they have all those things?
These are two questions I have heard often during my three years' membership in the Eminence Education Foundation. Actually, many natives of Eminence are not familiar with the work of the Education Foundation.
The national resurgence of interest in the Lincoln era, the movie Lincoln, the book Killing Lincoln seems to coincide with the recent activity to renew our own Eminence Cemetery, which is also a Lincoln era creation.
The Kentucky Legislature charted the Eminence Cemetery in 1860. The first burial was in 1864. There are surely many incidents in the long history of the cemetery that are entwined in our state and national history.
As the debate in Washington rages over what the federal government should do to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff, there is some good news when it comes to state government budgets: Most are finally seeing their bottom lines stabilizing.

The LSU Tigers football team are the official Louisiana State University football team. The team played their first game on November 25, 1893, and won the first about a year later. By 1896 they adopted the nickname Tigers and had a perfect six wins and zero losses season under the direction of Coach Allen Jeardeau. They are sometimes referred to as the Fighting Tigers or Bayou Bengals. The Tigers compete in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) in the Western Division of the SEC. All of their home games are played at LSU Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The current head coach of the team is Les Miles and has been in the position since 2005. The Tigers are an extremely sucessful team and have been a top ten team consistently since the 1999 season. LSU began the 2011 season with 721 wins giving them the 12th most in NCAA history, and the 4th most of any SEC team. They also have the 14th best all-time winning percentage in the NCAA, and the 4th best in the SEC starting the 2011 season at 0.641. They have several rivals including Alabama Crimson Tide, Arkansas Razorbacks, Auburn Tigers, Florida Gators Mississippi Rebels (Ole Miss), Texas A&M Aggies and Tulane Green Wave. The team has played in numerous bowl games including the BCS National Championship Game in the 2003, 2007 and 2011 seasons and is the only team to have won multiple BCS national titles. Several coaches and players have been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and have won various awards including Billy Cannon with a 1959 Heisman Trophy and Glenn Dorsey with four individual awards for the 2007 season - Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Lombardi Award, Outland Trophy and Lott Trophy. The team colors are purple and gold and the tradition of them started on November 25, 1893, in the form of ribbons pinned to the players uniforms. The team mascot is Mike the Tiger and a live tiger has been kept as an LSU tradition since October 21, 1936, with a total of six different tigers (four Bengal tigers and two mixed breeds) representing Mike the Tiger having been kept since then, while the sideline counterpart didn't appear until the 1950s.

The sign advertising his show still looms over the NBC parking lot, and for a few more days throngs of fans will crowd the studio gates in Burbank before tapings. But Jay Leno says he's ready to leave — and this time, he says he really means it.
After more than 40 years, "The Tonight Show" is leaving Southern California and heading back to New York, with the 63-year-old Leno, who first became host in 1992, handing off the show to Jimmy Fallon, just 39.
Four years have passed since NBC botched a similar passing of the torch to Conan O'Brien. This time it's the passing of an era, and not just for Leno, one of the most polarizing figures in show business. It's also a sobering inflection point for the TV industry and Los Angeles generally, both of which are struggling to adapt to economic and technological forces that are threatening a cultural primacy that looked assured back in 1972, when Johnny Carson transplanted "Tonight" to what he jokingly called "beautiful downtown Burbank," the Los Angeles Times reports.
"I'm old enough to remember when I was in New York and I was a kid, it was, 'Oh my God, the "Tonight Show's" leaving New York and going to Los Angeles,'" Leno recalled, sitting in the green room next to his studio. "It seemed like the most glamorous thing in the world."
Things change. New York — a safer, more prosperous city than it was in the 1970s — has solidified its standing as the nation's media capital, with most of the major news and talk shows originating there.
"New York is the bustling city and blah, blah, blah," Leno said. "All the excitement's there, all the movie studios, they start their big campaigns in New York. So now it's going back."
Where once "Tonight" was part of a vibrant complex that was home to "Hollywood Squares," "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" and other shows, the studios will after this week become another symbol of the runaway production that has seen more than $3 billion in film and TV crew wages slip away from Southern California over the last decade. The "Tonight Show" move will cost more than 150 local jobs alone.
Leno understands that the loss of "Tonight" is a shock to the local system. "That's kind of sad to see happen," he said.
The sense of loss is palpable. " 'The Tonight Show' put Burbank on the map," said Burbank Mayor Emily Gabel-Luddy. "We stole the 'Tonight Show' from New York originally, and I guess they're stealing it back."
"The real impact is the loss of tradition," she said, "and that's what our community is feeling. We see Jay Leno around town, he participates in our car shows, he drives around our streets and he's been part of the community ever since he's been here doing the 'Tonight Show.' People really love that."
But it's more than a New York vs. Hollywood dynamic, many believe. Leno and his brand of gentle, easily digestible comedy is no longer the kind of fare that captivates the mainstream — if "the mainstream" still exists at all.
"Leno proved that comedy could be clean and square, and still be funny," said Marty Kaplan, a media professor at USC. "That kind of non-edgy humor once won a mass audience, but now it's just another niche."
Indeed, viewers these days must pick their way through more than 20 late-night talk shows on broadcast and cable, including O'Brien's TBS show, Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" and E!'s "Chelsea Lately."
"Tonight" has commanded just under 4 million nightly viewers this season, compared with 2.9 million for CBS' "Late Show With David Letterman" and 2.6 million for ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live," according to Nielsen. But "Tonight's" audience has been declining for years amid all the competition, following a now-familiar pattern seen by nearly every TV show. Once a cash cow for NBC, "Tonight" was forced to lay off about 20 staffers in 2012, and Leno took a 10% pay cut.
None of this was foreseeable 22 years ago, when Leno took over "Tonight" from Carson, who is still considered the gold standard of late-night talk show hosts nearly a decade after his death.
The backstage battle over who would succeed the retiring Carson was so fierce that it was chronicled in a bestselling book, "The Late Shift," which revealed how Leno hid in a closet so he could secretly listen to a conference call of executives discussing his future. The episode sealed the comic's image as a striver of considerable talent but perhaps even larger ambition.
Leno's first months as host were a disaster. The comic's then-manager and executive producer, Helen Kushnick, sent Hollywood into an uproar by seeking to blackball celebrities who appeared on other talk shows. David Letterman, Leno's rival for the "Tonight" desk, left NBC to start a competing program on CBS in mid-1993 that was soon beating "Tonight" in the ratings. On-camera, Leno seemed ill-at-ease, off his game.
"It was a shaky start," acknowledged Warren Littlefield, who was the NBC Entertainment president who greenlighted Leno's takeover of "Tonight."
But Leno, who grew up in the Boston area raised by Italian and Scottish immigrant parents, persisted. Kushnick was booted and the producers eventually scrapped the old Carson set and built a new one that allowed audience members to crowd the stage and high-five Leno at the opening, underscoring Leno's roots as a nightclub comic. A 1995 sit-down with British star Hugh Grant, then disgraced in a sex scandal, signaled the start of a ratings turnaround that sent "Tonight" to No. 1.
"The show was kind of rebuilt around Jay. And he flourished in it," Littlefield said. "He was flexible; he adjusted."
Maybe too flexible, according to some critics. As a young comic, Leno was known for his "What's my beef?" comic rants, but detractors say he relaxed into dumbed-down comedy for the masses on "Tonight." His best-known bit is "Jaywalking," which consists of an amused Leno quizzing clueless passersby on basic knowledge. Leno doesn't deny adjusting his humor for a big audience.
"You're dealing with just a broad cross-section of America," said Leno, whose worth has been estimated at $350 million by CelebrityNetWorth.com. "You're dealing with people who work really hard and they just wanna have a laugh before they go to bed.
"So is it not as cutting edge? Sure, probably. I'd cop to that."
Bill Zehme, who co-authored Leno's bestseller "Leading With My Chin," compares Leno to Bob Hope, another NBC funnyman forever tied to Burbank (the airport is named after Hope, who lived in nearby Toluca Lake). "Like Hope, Leno seems to fill a nationalistic need as America's Comedian," Zehme said.
But unlike Hope, Leno has sometimes been cast as a villain. In 2010, when he bombed with a 10 p.m. talk show, NBC returned him to "Tonight" amid intense pressure from local affiliates. The tortured maneuvers displaced O'Brien, who eventually quit. Leno was painted as a back-stabbing climber, with much of the toughest criticism coming from fellow comics and hosts, such as Letterman and Kimmel. "Shame on Jay Leno," Rosie O'Donnell told reporters.
Today, Leno laughs off those kinds of attacks.
"My favorite was, 'Jay Leno went back to NBC and demanded his show back,'" Leno said. "If I had that power, I wouldn't have been fired in the first place."
Many of his fans think it's still too soon for him to leave. Lining up outside the doors to Studio 11 in Burbank one day earlier this week were hundreds of Leno loyalists, mostly middle-aged and nearly all white, aiming for one last in-person peek of him on "Tonight."
"It is sad to see him go," said Megan Powers, 42, of San Diego. "It's like the end of an era.... There's a comfort about him. I feel about him like I think my parents did with Johnny Carson. He's always been there, like an uncle I like to hang out with."
"What's great about Jay Leno is that he's just a common, everyday guy that everyone can relate to," said Tom Nadal, 54, of Rancho Santa Margarita. "He's been fired twice, basically, and he's still No. 1 in the ratings."
Leno's own position on his "Tonight" exit can be hard to parse. "This feels about time," he said, even though his recent monologues have been studded with jokes about being pushed out and digs at NBC. Noting that Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr performed together at the Grammys, Leno arched his eyebrow and joked this past week: "So, I guess some people still enjoy the older entertainers." His studio audience whooped and applauded. On an earlier show, he quipped that the Olympics security situation in Russia was so dangerous that NBC wanted to send him there.
The next day after his "Tonight" stint ends, he'll be on the road, doing stand-up dates in Florida. But he's cagey about another TV show. Certainly his lifestyle would allow it: He and his longtime wife, Mavis, who live in Beverly Hills, have no children, and Leno's sole hobby is his collection of more than 200 cars and motorcycles, some of which he stows in a massive garage near the Burbank airport.
"You can't do this again," he said of the late-night arena. "I'm very flattered. There are a lot of offers. Everyone wants you basically to do 'The Tonight Show Lite.' I don't know. It'd be fun to do something."
But on one point there was no hesitation. Asked if it was worth it coming back to "Tonight" four years ago, only to be axed again, Leno replied immediately: "Of course.
"I've had a great time," he said. "It's the greatest job in the world."

- "At Dudley's fifth birthday party, Aunt Marge had whacked Harry around the shins with her walking stick to stop him from beating Dudley at musical statues."
- —Aunt Marge demonstrates her loathing of Harry[src]
Musical statues is a popular Muggle game in Great Britain. Those participating dance to music, but must freeze like a statue (hence the name) when the music stops. Those that do not are called out. Play continues until only one is left and is declared the winner.[1]
Harry Potter played musical statues at Dudley Dursley's fifth birthday party. He apparently possessed some talent for the game, as Aunt Marge, who was also attending, whacked him around the shins with her walking stick to keep him from beating Dudley.[2]

Mary Smallman Genealogical Collection
Mary Smallman Genealogical Collection
Mary H. Smallman (1919-2009) was daughter of Doris Jones Hadlock (1896-2000) and Perry Hadlock (1899-1983). Well known for her preservation work in the history of northern New York, she served as St. Lawrence County Historian from 1965 to 1981. Mary was also the town historian for the Town of Hermon, NY. After her first marriage ended in 1951, Mary lived with her parents in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and later moved to Ogdensburg, NY in 1960. Along with her late husband Walter, Mary dedicated her life to genealogical research. Mary and Walter settled in Hermon in 1978 where her ancestors were early settlers.
This collection consists mostly of family genealogy records of Mary H. Smallman. It contains genealogy charts, photos and writings by Doris Jones Hadlock (mother of Mary H. Smallman) recounting her childhood in Bigelow and Gouverneur, New York in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Doris also recounts her life with husband Perry in Rio de Janeiro Brazil from 1941-1957 while he was working at RCA Brazil.

Back to back games starting on Sunday for the Vancouver Canucks in Florida and then to Tampa Bay on Monday. Sunday afternoon was a hard game for many of the Canucks fans to watch. It was the first time in eight years the Canucks had to face Roberto Luongo as an opponent. Strange times in Canuckland indeed. Vancouver won the game in a shootout with a goal from Nik Jensen 4-3 . The next night the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Canucks by the identical score. Some of the happenings were definitely memorable and a few moments would have been left better off forgotten. So from the "Sunshine State", here is CanucksCorner's
Top 10.
1. Luongo may not be a Canuck anymore, but it would be hard to tell he wasn't, if not for that Panthers t-shirt.
2. Alex Burrows scored three goals and had three assists in the two games in Sunrise and Tampa. The winger became the ringer we have come to know and love over the years. After playing 30+ games without a goal, he is scoring in bunches. Now tied with David Booth with five goal on the season in about half the games. Here's one on the power play:
3. Nik Jensen has brought some youth and enthusiasm to the Canucks line-up. Scoring the shootout winner against Roberto Luongo and reviving his line mates, Henrik Sedin and Alex Burrows. The line looked good in both games. Jensen has good hockey sense and seems to just want to nothing more than score. Good. This team could use a little more scoring these days. Here's his goal on Luongo and the Haida hat winner video:
4. Love him or hate him, John Tortorella was the head coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning Stanley Cup wining team in 2004. He and a few other members of that team were honoured in Tampa Bay last night, and the usually aloof Torts, was gracious and embraced the moment at the Tampa Bay Times Forum from an appreciative crowd. The first 30 seconds of this reel sees Torts smiling and waving to the crowd.
5. Goat of the Tampa Bay game: Ryan Stanton doing his best Dan Hamhuis impersonation and scoring on his own goalie twice. Lack had no chance on those ricochets off Stanton's body and the Lightning were up 3-0. Burrows scores two to battle the Canucks back and Hansen brings it within one with a shorthanded goal but still fell short 4-3.
6. Great Save!:Kevin Bieksa makes the best save of the night against the Panthers on Sunday afternoon. Really? Bieksa?
7. Tweet of the Night:I think Jason Botchford said it best:
8. .500 Hockey: It's just not going to cut it with the Canucks playoff hopes dwindling. There are only 11 games left in the regular season. It would take a fall from the Dallas Stars, and an incredible and consistent resurgence from the Canucks to make the playoffs now. I don't see it happening but with the way the team has spiralled since January, many of the bandwagon has now found a new place to plant their behinds. Image courtesy of @CrownRoyal22
9. MIA: Ryan Kesler is rumoured to be missing action for about two weeks. This is not a good sign for the Canucks who are completely depleted down the middle. From the looks of it, Kesler won't be back until the last week of the regular season. The injury happened in Winnipeg and Kesler didn't complete the rest of the trip. He went back to Vancouver to have the extent of his injury assessed. The infirmary is still full. Kesler joins, Richardson, Daniel and Andrew Alberts.
10.Good-bye Sweet Bromance: Probably the saddest thing about this whole weekend is not realizing that Canucks aren't probably going to make the playoffs, but the Bromance between Roberto Luongo and Eddie Lack (at least as teammates) got some closure in that 4-3 shootout win over the Panthers. Thing 3 beats Thing 1 in a skills competition.
The road trip brought out some pretty good things and still glaringly bad things about the Canucks' play. The good is, they are scoring more than just one goal again. The bad is, they are playing .500 hockey. This team should be winning but their defensive lapses keep coming back to haunt them. Three goals for, usually means a victory, but the Canucks just can't seem to have a winning streak beyond one game. Let's hope the last 11 games turn up some better fortune for Vancouver.
Justine Galo
PS: Since the luck of the Canucks haven't been of the norm these days, I am going to do something out of the norm and attend the Canucks versus Predators game. For those curious as to why I don't attend such games, here's a little reminder to that very subject. [ The Curse of the Predators ]

10 Famous Male Bisexuals Who Aren't David Bowie
[Editor's note: For the next two Fridays, Flavorwire will be counting down our 20 most popular features of 2010. This post, which originally ran on June 24, 2010, comes in at position number 19.] You know what they say about male bisexuals: They don't exist, men just don't work like that, bisexual is only a transitional point on the pathway to gay… Anyway, we don't believe it. So, just in time for the final week of LGBT pride month (which, in our opinion, always tends to favor the "L"s and "G"s over the "B"s and "T"s), we're celebrating famous dudes who go both ways. For this list, we've tried to features guys who don't make a huge deal about their left-of-center sexual orientation. Because, come on: We know all about the notches on David Bowie's belt. Since unsubstantiated rumors abound, we've only listed men whose bisexuality has been confirmed by a publication we trust. The resulting top ten includes everyone from a legendary civil rights leader to a wildly controversial contemporary essayist — and many other surprises.
Christopher Hitchens
Controversy-courting writer, pundit, hater of God, and believer that women aren't funny
"We must also make what we will of his claim to have slept with two unnamed young men at Oxford who later joined Thatcher's government. Hitchens was exuberantly bisexual in his younger days – until his looks 'declined to the point where only women would go to bed with me' – and is quite candid on the matter, so his refusal to name the future ministers looks at best coy and at worst like teasing up a bit of publicity for the book." — Guardian, 2010

We are at the very beginning of our journey to become an environmentally sustainable school. Having recently installed solar panels, pupils, staff and parents are ready to grow our own produce and share the enourmous social and academic benefits of this project.
We need you to help us raise £170 which will enable our school to have a pack of 10 fruit trees, which we can plant in our school grounds and teach all our pupils the importance of growing our own produce.
It only takes 13 people to pledge on £10 and recieve a discount on a Woodland Trust membership to get us to our target and recieve trees to plant in the school. We can do this!
We believe this project is so beneficial to all our pupils, we will be able to educate on sustainable and local produce and by planting our own trees we will be able to do this with our very own produce. Just one pack will provide us with 10 fruit trees including four apples, two pear, two plum, one quince and one medlar. All trees are kindly donated by Otter Farm. The fruit trees are two years old and will fruit next year.
Our campaign is supported by Abel and Cole, The Woodland Trust and River Cottage, who are both kindly donating some amazing rewards.
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall said: "I find the idea that the next generation could be growing more fruit, eating more fruit and cooking their fruit in a much more creative way incredibly exciting. I want to do what I can to make that happen."
With your help we can get all our pupils involved with a great project and show them how much benefit 20 trees can make to our school. We can use the fruit in our canteen and allow children to eat it during the school day. This also promotes healthy eating.
Please support us and help our school start a sustainable project with real educational benefit. All trees are provided by Otter Farm.
Thank You
If we exceed our target, we will use all the extra funds for enviromental projects going on at the school, minus the 5% crowdfunder admin fee.

Armed men detained four UN peacekeepers on patrol on the Golan Heights in a tense area that separates Syria and Israel, the UN said Tuesday. A rebel group claimed it was holding the peacekeepers.
It was the second time in two months that unarmed UN military observers have been taken captive, and illustrated again the vulnerability of the UN peacekeeping mission amid the spillover from the war in Syria.
Kieran Dwyer, spokesman for the UN peacekeeping department, said the four peacekeepers, all from the Philippines, were taken by an unidentified armed group near Jamla on Tuesday. "Efforts are underway to secure their release now," he said.
A spokesman for the rebel group holding the four peacekeepers said in a phone interview with The Associated Press that at least three of the UN staffers are from the Philippines. He said the rebel unit holding them is called the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigades and the group is operating in the Golan Heights.
The man spoke on condition of anonymity because he is outside of Syria and is serving as a mediator on peaceful matters concerning the group.
In a statement that was posted on the group's Facebook page Tuesday, the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigades said the peacekeepers are not their hostages, but are being kept with them for their own safety.
In early March, the same rebel group held 21 Filipino UN peacekeepers for four days before releasing them unharmed after tough negotiations.
The rebel unit said that it suspects that peacekeepers are believed to be shielding Syrian President Bashar Assad's troops who the rebels said killed civilians during an army sweep of Wadi Raqat, a town in southern Syria.
The UN monitoring mission, known as UNDOF, was set up in 1974, seven years after Israel captured the Golan and a year after it managed to push back Syrian troops trying to recapture the territory in another regional war.
For nearly four decades, the UN monitors have helped enforce a stable truce between Israel and Syria.
But in recent months, Syrian mortars overshooting their target have repeatedly hit the Israeli-controlled Golan. In Israel's most direct involvement so far, Israeli warplanes struck inside Syria in January, according to U.S. officials who said the target was a convoy carrying anti-aircraft weapons bound for Hezbollah, a Lebanese militia allied with Assad and Iran.
