...them is Dr. Laurie Jacobs, vice chairman of the Department of Medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center in New York City. Jacobs, who has been a practicing geriatrician since 1988, talked to TIME about why end-of-life counseling is important, when it should start and how to talk to patients and families about planning for death.

...compound was being used to launch attacks on government forces. Later that same afternoon, the priests received orders from the bishop to remove the sacred relic and take it farther north, deeper into Tiger-held areas, rather than risk heading for the front.

...start with the porn shop. Lion's Den is an Ohio-based chain of adult toy stores often found at tired freeway interchanges in empty parts of the country.

...billionaire George Soros announced a $35 million donation to the state of New York for a "Back to School" program that - coupled with $140 million of federal stimulus funds - would give each child on public assistance and food stamps $200 to start the school year. More than 850,000 families woke up the next day to find an extra $200 automatically added to their public-assistance debit account. Not a huge windfall, but enough for impoverished students to buy pencils, notebooks, protractors, a backpack and maybe some new school clothes. (Read an interview with George Soros...
