Scootched between Memorial Day (barbeques!) and the Fourth of July (bathing suits and beer pong!), Flag Day is kind of the red-headed stepchild of summer patriotic observances.

June 14th is Flag Day in the US- a holiday school kids are aware of, because it’s ripe for making construction paper projects and eating themed cupcakes (while teachers clear out the remainder of their lesson plans if school is still in session where you live.) Those who own a flagpole and a flag can set Old Glory out to mark the occasion, but users are increasingly turning to Facebook and other forms of social media to celebrate Flag Day and similar observances without having to follow a complex set of rules about rain, night and attacking Indians.

AllFacebook pointed us toward a Flag Day page called “Turn Facebook Red, White, and Blue for FLAG DAY!” sporting just under 6,000 likes. The page asks Likers to replace their profile picture with an image of the American flag for Flag Day on June 14th, and offers up some sample avatars for patriotic users to employ.

Do you mark observances like Flag Day on Facebook or other social networks? Or do you see these kinds of gestures and think “you are not a flag!”

Manchester United have confirmed that they have signed Phil Jones from Blackburn on a five year deal.

The teenager passed his medical last week and the deal has finally gone through today.

After Liverpool appeared to be the favourites to sign the young defender, who has already been tipped as future England captain, Sir Alex Ferguson secured a deal at the last minute. This didn’t stop Kenny Dalglish throwing an extra £6m at Blackburn in the desperate hope to get the player at Liverpool. However, the youngster made his choice, rejecting offers from Spurs and Arsenal too.

A statement from Blackburn Rovers read: “Much as we’d love him to stay on with us – and we made all efforts to convince him to stay – Phil has to finally follow his heart.”

In sad news, Jack White, frontman of the now defunct White Stripes and the mastermind behind The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather, is splitting up with his wife Karen Elson. White met the British model/singer when she appeared in the music video for the White Stripes single 'Blue Orchid.' The pair married in June 2005 in Brazil and went on to have two children, Scarlett Teresa and Henry Lee.

In an interesting twist, the news doesn't come across as particularly sad for White, 35, and Elson, 32. Instead of the high-priced lawyers, courtroom drama and custody battles that have become synonymous with a celebrity split, the quirky twosome has instead decided to throw a party celebrating their six-year anniversary and their impending divorce. The event, which is open only to close friends and family ("no plus ones or dead beats"), will take place tonight (June 10) at a secret location in Nashville, Tenn. The couple has lived in Nashville since they were married.

White and Elson released a statement regarding their upcoming joyous un-nuptials saying, "We remain dear and trusted friends and co-parents to our wonderful children Scarlett and Henry Lee. We feel so fortunate for the time we have shared and the time we will continue to spend both separately and together watching our children grow. In honor of that time shared, we are throwing a divorce party, an evening together in Nashville to re-affirm our friendship and celebrate the past and future with close friends and family."

According to the invitation, posted on the website for their PR reps Nasty Little Man, it promises to be a "positive swing back hum dinger" complete with "dancing, photos, memories, and drinks with alcohol in them." It invites their select guests to "celebrate together this anniversary of the making and breaking of the sacred union of marriage."

If only all divorces were this much fun.

Williams syndrome is a disorder of the neurodevelopment which is caused by a deletion of about 26 genes from a strain of chromosome 7. The disease is also known as Williams-Beuren syndrome or WBS. It was discovered by Dr. J.C.P Williams of New Zealand in 1961 and hence, has been named after him. Williams syndrome is extremely rare, in fact one out of 7,500 people have it and it occurs in one out of 20,000 births.

People with Williams syndrome come across as extremely pleasant, friendly and empathetic. The disorder is also characterized by a distinctive ‘elfin’ face appearance, a low nasal bridge and pointy teeth. People who have this disorder have no problem socializing with other; in fact they make friends with strangers within minutes.

On the last episode of 20/20, the host of the show Chris Cuomo, attended a camp for children with Williams syndrome and he got to learn more about the disease and the people who have it. When Cuomo got to the camp, he was greeted with lots of hugs, kisses and pats on the back. Then he was bombarded with questions like ‘what’s your favorite color?’, ‘what’s your favorite food?’, ‘where do you live?’, ‘what do you like?’ and so on.

The camp had children with Williams syndrome who belonged to different age groups. There were even small babies with the disorder and one could tell through their demeanor, that they were not like normal babies. "Little babies will come up to you, they will stare into your face, and it will be hard to actually disengage from that stare," explained Helen Tager-Flusberg whose lab at Boston University studies the social behavior of children with Williams. "When they're four or five...whether they know you or not, within about five minutes you're their new best friend."

It was found out through research, that people with Williams syndrome hold no racial bias. This is because the neural pathway that imprints for race bias is missing in children with this disorder.

As of yet, it has not been discovered that what causes Williams Syndrome, but the deletion of the genes occurs during the production of a sperm or egg cell. Research is already being done to find out why people become so friendly and congenial with the absence of those genes, but as of yet, the answers have not been uncovered.

People who have Williams syndrome, also suffer from physical ailments. They develop heart diseases later in life and most of them do not survive beyond 50 years of age.

Williams syndrome: A rare genetic disease

With the legal noose swiftly tightening around former Democratic Vice Presidential candidate John Edwards, it is likely many are having a hard time keeping his woes with the court separate from his manifold moral shortcomings. On ABC’s World News Tonight, George Stephanopoulos and Mediaite founder and ABC legal analyst Dan Abrams discussed how the court will likely sort out the illegal from the immoral, and what money transfers are in dispute.

The charges against Edwards stem directly from behavior associated with his affair with Rielle Hunter, money that may have been used to keep the affair silent. Two of the sources of these funds, Edwards campaign finance chairman Fred Baron and donor Bunny Mellon, are having their donations investigated in particular. Despite the fact that Edwards’ behavior towards his family has mostly been universally reviled, argued Abrams, it takes more than being a bad person to go to jail. Discussing the money, he explained that the intent behind donating said money is what will ultimately determine the case. “If it was clearly intended to further John Edwards’ presidential campaign,” Abrams noted, “he could be in big trouble.” The other possible situation is that the money was clearly intended as a gift, which falls into a different category than a campaign donation legally, or that it was deliberately intended as “an effort to prevent Elizabeth Edwards from finding out about [the affair'],” in which case “that might make him a bad person, but it wouldn’t make it a crime.”

Admitting that he had “not been honest with myself, my family and my constituents,” Rep. Anthony Weiner has confessed at a press conference that he sent via Twitter the picture that has captivated Washington for the past week — and that he lied about his account being hacked.

“I regret not being honest about this,” Weiner said in a tearful statement. “I was embarrassed, I was humiliated. I was trying to protect my wife. I was trying to protect myself from shame.”

He claimed to have tweeted the picture on May 27 to Seattle student Gennette Cordova “as a joke” but then “panicked” and removed the tweet from his Twitter account. Cordova, however, doesn’t understand what joke that would be. “Am I the only one still confused?” she tweeted during the press conference.

“Once I realized I had posted it on Twitter I panicked, I took it down and said I’d been hacked,” Weiner explained.

Weiner said he has had “cursory direct message contact” with Cordova and that she was not one of the women he was having an online relationship with.

Weiner said he has had online relationships with six unnamed women on Facebook and his wife knew about them in general — but she did not know until this morning that he had lied about his Twitter account being hacked. He said he had never met the women in person and the relationships had been entirely based on conversations on the Internet, conducted from his home computer rather than a government machine. All the women had received inappropriate photos from Weiner. He claimed not to know the ages of the women and they had all claimed they were adults.

“It’s always true in social media that you are relying on those characterizations, and I took them at their characterizations,” he said.

“This was me doing a dumb thing, doing it repeatedly and then lying about it,” Weiner said. His wife was not standing by his side, and he broke down several times when mentioning her.

Weiner insisted that he would not be resigning and would be “fighting very hard” to persuade his constituents that he should be re-elected in 2012.
