Men do it better
When Jakki Chrysler wants to know why a guy hasn't called her, she does not consult her girlfriends. The 21-year-old knows they will be concerned, and would eagerly sit down to hash over the possible reasons why her love interest is not acting interested in return. But she usually opts to approach her male roommate, seeking out a perspective her female friends cannot provide. "My girlfriends will stay positive for me. They're more likely to say don't worry about it, he's probably really busy," said the currently single fashion student. "Whereas my guy friend will say you should just date other people and not be hung up on it." The notion that men give women more honest dating advice was famously introduced in an episode of Sex and the City, in which Miranda was informed by a male friend that a guy was "just not that into you." The line spawned a bestselling book called He's Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo that was then turned into a film, set for release this summer, starring Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore.
Gay matchmaking sites find a growing market
Growing up, Bethtina Woodridge heard all kinds of advice about dating, finding a husband and getting married. "You don't have those tips about meeting women," said Woodridge, 31. "How do I approach her, how do I know she is gay?" For Woodridge, finding that special someone turned out to be easier online. Several months after signing up for dating service Chemistry.com, Woodridge was matched with her partner, who was "incredibly honest and sincere, and she stole my heart." After online giant eHarmony made headlines last year by saying its psychological research is based exclusively on heterosexual relationships, a growing number of rival online matchmakers are using their algorithms to find same-sex love as well. "There are just not enough services for creating healthy relationships, and (it is) a major gap in the gay community," said matchmaker Patrick Perrine, founder of San Francisco-based Mypartner.com, which caters to "sophisticated, cultured and relationship-oriented gay men" and has more than 50,000 clients across the nation.

Click here for the first article on Democrats. Fundraising for the party, spreading the wealth around so that he can call in the chits later, is a strategy at which McCain is excelling. But McCain is not the only one; Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has been raising funds for candidates all over the map, and to a lesser extent, so have former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and Virginia Sen. George Allen. (Story continues below) .

Gilly's 100 in fairytale win
A FAIRYTALE, farewell century from Adam Gilchrist has seen Australia mark thier keeper's last game in Perth with a 63-run win in the tri-series. A sensible and at-times sparkling 118 from the 36-year-old Gilchrist was the perfect goodbye to more than 17,000 Perth fans, who booed him on debut for Western Australia 14 years ago, but afforded his curtain call the kind of reception reserved for the very special few. And while his batting colleagues failed to back Gilchrist up, resulting in a below-par total of 236, Hogg's two wickets in two balls and excellent spells from Nathan Bracken (3-21) and Mitchell Johnson (3-29) rendered Kumar Sangakkara's 80 meaningless. Gilchrist posted his 16th one-day ton, and the first since the World Cup final against Sri Lanka last year.
His grandfather's death imprinted on young Lincoln
The search for the 1780s Louisville gravesite of Abraham Lincoln's grandfather began in a brightly lit McDonald's in Middletown. The tour guide was Connie Guthrie, 78. She was dressed in the early 1800s period clothing of a grieving widow; long dark calico dress with buttoned sleeves; pale yellow shawl; black mobcap. As we spoke, Guthrie would drop in and out of the role of an original Louisville settler, Peggy Chenoweth, who along with her children and husband, Capt. Richard Chenoweth, landed in 1778 with George Rogers Clark on Corn Island -- where Louisville began. Six years later, the family moved to the complete wilderness, near what is now Eastwood. They got to know a man named Abraham Lincoln -- the former president's grandfather -- who had settled a few miles away near Long Run Creek with his wife and five children, one of them a young boy named Thomas.
