Can you spot articles about BHUZers?

With just a quick look, I found articles about our own Gia al Qamar
http://www.northjersey.com/page.php?...Y3dnFlZUVFeXk3
Sami and Robin Shumays of Zikrayat
http://www.timesledger.com/site/news...d=542408&rfi=6
and sadly, the obituary for Serena Wilson
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/24/ob.../24wilson.html
Worth reading! What an amazing dancer - she came from a fascinating background and was still dancing professionally at age 73. And, coverage of a belly dancer in the New York Times -- that means something.

and there's lots more!
If you find articles about BHUZers, or articles of special interest, post the link in this thread. This is going to be fun !

Thanks Rosey, this is cool.

I wanted to just mention that whenever I see the work "Sticky:" in the list of new posts, the first thing my mind thinks is "oh - Rosey wants to alert us to a sticky situation?" no matter how many times I see it. I think if it was the word "Post-it" or "Quick note" I wouldn't have that reaction. Just a thought...not a terribly important one!

I will research this. The other News sources besides Dance Wire, are from Google News RSS. Perhaps there is something you need to configure in Google News news.google.com

You need IE version 7 to read the RSS feeds on the news page.
