...they are and what's important to them. When you talk to family members when a patient cannot participate in the conversation, it's even more difficult. If it was for themselves, they might say, "Gee, I don't want to go through that," but they are afraid to limit options for family members, and I can understand that.

...idea as much as a geographical area," says Chris Wood, who took on the role of the ALR's editor in chief in 2007. "We asked ourselves, Can we actually call ourselves the Asia Literary Review?

On this trip, I will get a hotel room for less than the upkeep on the room, eat a meal for near what it costs to serve it and - at least according to a sign in the Cheetahs dressing room berating the strippers for undercharging - get some kind of deal in the VIP room...

Seth Unger, press secretary for the CDCR, says they will appeal any final ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court. "Congress passed the Prison Litigation Reform Act to limit the power of the federal courts to take control of state prison systems and to order population caps or early release of inmates and we certainly believe the court has overstepped its bounds in this case," says Unger...
