That's where the Arps' book 10 Great Dates for Empty Nesters comes in. It encourages couples to go on dates where, in lieu of small talk, they work through exercises in the book. (The original 10 Great Dates is being used at, among other places, North Carolina's Fort Bragg, where deploying soldiers are given a copy to help keep them connected to their sweeties, albeit via video-conferencing.) The dates are designed for couples to hash out hot-button issues - including money, sex and anger - or to negotiate new household roles that take into account chores the kids...
...defending both his new faith and religious liberty. In his 2006 book Rediscovering God in America, Gingrich lambasted what he calls the "secular effort to reject any sense of a spiritual life as mattering." And days before he officially joined the Catholic Communion on March 29, he was among the first to criticize the University of Notre Dame for inviting Barack Obama to speak, Twittering (of course): "It is sad to see notre dame invite president obama to give the commencement address since his policies are so anti catholic." (See TIME's 10 Questions for Newt Gingrich...

...Mousavi became the opposition front-runner in large part because he was the best-known reformist in the race, his popularity in Iran stems mostly from the fact that he is not Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. On the other hand, Karroubi, though less well-known, attracted a circle of advisers from among the country's most respected reformist technocrats, and ran on a specific program of reforms targeted at specific electoral groups such as women, students and the non-Persian minorities who make up close to half of Iran's population. Along with policies supporting fiscal restraint and strengthening the rule...
Perhaps, but if the government feels truly threatened, it's likely to lash out again - and Karroubi could be among its top targets. One of the leading generals of Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards has already called for his and Mousavi's arrest. Karroubi's newspaper was shut down on Aug. 18, and last week the government advised clerics all over the country to lambaste Karroubi during their Friday sermons. One leading hard-line cleric called for Karroubi to be beaten with a lash...
