Actually, the speed of the glacier toward the sea has slowed in recent years - but that's not because there's more ice. Paradoxically, because so much ice has melted away in central Greenland, there is less pressure on the coastal glaciers to move...

TIME chatted with the popular author about how ordinary folk can commune with deceased relatives, what it's like on the Other Side, and other supernatural insights from her book Do Dead People Watch You Shower?

...former McCain adviser, John Weaver, also expressed worry to the Atlantic Monthly that the spot would make McCain look "childish" and "diminish the brand." On the other side of the argument, Republican strategists worry that the new approach may not be enough to take down Obama, especially in the absence of a third-party group, like the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth in 2004. "They have managed to scare off outside groups," said one veteran party strategist of McCain's, who, as a longtime supporter of campaign finance reform, is opposed to such third-party spending.
