...solo album, Way to Normal, he knew it would get leaked to the Internet, so he went ahead and did it himself - well, sort of. This summer, Folds released six "fake" songs on the Internet and pretended that they were tracks off his album. The fake songs bore the same titles as tracks on the album, but contained completely different lyrics and music. The real Way to Normal dropped on Sept. 30; the fake versions are available wherever music is freely downloaded. Folds talked to TIME about his divorce, writing songs about diapers, and his recent reunion with the other...
...year-old student killed 11 people, including himself, at a trade school in the town of Kauhajoki, some 180 miles (290 km) northwest of Helsinki, in the world's deadliest school shooting since gunman Cho Seung-Hui massacred 32 at Virginia Tech in April 2007.

Some participants had cancer; some were survivors. And most of those who rode by bore on their backs the names of dead relatives, a rolling graveyard passing through the placid Pennsylvania countryside...
...December strikes near U.N. offices in Algiers bore a similar Al Qaeda earmark, experts say: while targeting foreigners, it maximized the death toll by claiming as many people from the local Muslim population as possible. By contrast, while the eight people killed and 19 injured in the August 10 suicide car bombing in the coastal town of Zemmouri el Bahri were all Algerian, AQIM claimed responsibility for the attack by describing its victims as "the sons of France and the slaves of America". The message being that anyone not supporting the AQIM cause - foreign or Muslim - represent the same enemy...
