Volandes's team has also prepared videos of patients suffering from heart failure, late-stage cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - other leading causes of death in America. These will be used in a series of future studies: "We want to show what real disease looks like. We want to make sure we are on the same page when we use words like "CPR" and "dementia" with patients. End-of-life conversations are important, but so is making sure they are communicated in a clear and meaningful...
...nature of their placement, atheist advertising is not new. In 2007, the American Humanist Association, a Washington-based group of roughly 11,000 members that questions the existence of one God, any god, the supernatural or an afterlife, bought ads in publications like the Nation and the Progressive. Then, late last year, the group splashed its first bus ads in the U.S., buying space in Washington, D.C., with the line, "Why believe in God? Just be good for goodness sakes."

His mission, Gates said, was "to put Iraq in a better place," which is a spectacular understatement. Iraq was falling apart in late 2006, and Gates found the Defense Department in paralytic denial. His nonstop effort to reform the institution - abetted by military rebels who had been cast into the outer darkness by the powers that were - is a great untold story of the war on terrorism...
...Birthler Agency has come under hefty criticism from politicians and researchers who claim that the late disclosures showed it wasn't researching the Stasi files thoroughly. "We always assumed Kurras was some kind of right-wing extremist, and now it turns out he was a Marxist," says Hugo Diederich, deputy head of the Association of Victims of Stalinism. "If we'd known that earlier, it could have changed the student protests and the course of history." Diederich advocates a thorough investigation of "all politicians, police officers and members of the intelligence services now, to see if any of them were...
