Murphy's Law: Elaine Benes might have thought she was getting lucky when she dated Keith Hernandez of the New York Mets -- until she took one look at sexy Daniel Murphy, who you'd definitely wanna get beyond first base with. (Star-Ledger)

Gay Youth: The San Francisco Unified School District is strengthening its program to combat discrimination against gay and lesbian students. The school board on Tuesday night approved a resolution to guarantee $62,000 in funding for its anti-discrimination program, even though the district faces a $113 million budget shortfall over the next two years.

Tustin Time: I didn't even realize Lt. Dan Choi was from Orange County, but I see my old paper caught up with him to hear about his training for a possible deployment to Afghanistan -- something that did not even seem possible about a week ago. (OC Register)

Tatt for Tot: OK, Florida: you dodged a bullet on this one. Police say an Ohio man tattooed the letter "A" on the butt of a 1-year-old girl visiting his home. Lee Deitrick, 20, of Louisville, was arraigned Wednesday on a felony child endangering charge in Canton Municipal Court. Most disturbing is that it was not even clear what the letter "A" stood for.

Home Plate: My interest in fashion is negligible at best, yet this article about the history of New York's fashion week being held in Bryant Park was rather fascinating. (NYT)

Black Luminaries: New York City plans to honor its own hallowed ground of jazz as it prepares to designate the neighborhood of Addisleigh Park in southern Queens a historic district for its role as home to some of the nation's greatest African-American musicians. The bucolic enclave near St. Albans, just north of Linden Boulevard, was once home to Count Basie, Lena Horne and Ella Fitzgerald, among dozens of other jazz greats. Superstar athletes also laid down roots there, including Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella and Joe Louis. (NY Post)

For Amelie, Wherever I May Find Her: It was hard not to love Amelie Mauresmo. She always reminded me of the Martina Navratilova who lost the 1981 U.S. Open final to Tracy Austin. Big, strong and domineering, she came across as a bully -- until her nerves got the better of her and she became a scared, sobbing little girl. I'm happy she finally was able to hold it together long enough to win two Slams and (deservingly) hit No. 1 on the computer. I've read retirement suits her well -- so it was nice to see the players honor her this week at the Paris Indoor. I miss her unpredictable ways already. (Yahoo)

Dear Sheltered: It's hard to believe that a parent in this day and age wouldn't believe that a 13-year-old child isn't aware of his or her own sexuality, but it's true. (WaPo)

The Player: Robert Evans, one of Hollywood’s more colorful producers, is becoming the subject of a play being prepared for a Broadway debut in the next year. If it's half as good as "The Kid Stays in the Picture" then it will be a must-see. (NYT)

Singing Her Praises: While I'm likely the only person who is sad that "Kath & Kim" isn't coming back, I'm surely not alone in being thrilled that Molly Shannon is joining the cast of "Glee" -- and as Sue Sylvester's archnemesis, something she proved she was REALLY good as Val v. Grace! (EW)
