First published in 2002, On The Street Where You Live tells the story a woman who is haunted by two grisly murders separated by more than a century, yet somehow inextricably linked.

Praise be to God! Bank Information.

Though I have a million things that I SHOULD be doing, I kept thinking about that scam message I got today. I created an email address and wrote him back:

Brother Attah,

I have spent the last twelve hours weeping joyfully and in deep prayer. I could hardly believe it when I received your message. How could such a bright beacon of hope shine from a place so far from the blessings of our Lord Jesus Christ?!?

You see Brother Attah, the depth of the miracle taking place here is deeper than you...

"Barbara Ehrenreich, renowned for her exposés of America's grueling blue- and white-collar job markets (i.e., Nickel and Dimed, Bait and Switch), is out to cement her role as our nation's reality checker. Her new book, Bright-Sided: How the Relentless Promotion of Positive Thinking Has Undermined America, was initially inspired by her resistance to the cancer-gives-my-life-meaning trope, which was inflicted on her when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000. She found that insistent, bl...

What's the most popular video game these days? If you think it's Halo: ODST, Batman: Arkham Asylum or Wii Fit, think again. While high profile console games are hogging the consumer spotlight, Zynga's FarmVille - a free-to-play Facebook game about tiling soil and tending crops in a virtual farm - has quietly amassed more than 58 million active players.

For anyone counting, that number easily surpasses the sales figures of the best-selling console video game of all time: Nintendo Wii...

"I think it's going to happen sooner than most people think," said Doug Creutz, video game analyst for Cowen & Co. "Console makers dig it. Publishers have some fear about what happens when they break away from retail model, but at end of the day, they can cut out the retailer and cut down on used-game sales and piracy. There's lots of reasons for them to like it."

He added: "For retailers, it's a disaster."
