- My name is Charles L. Chatmon, a poet and author of two books, The Depths of My Soul and The Voices of South Central.

I’m also a co-host on an internet show called Mixed Matters at the North Bay Media Review website. I'm quiet most of the time but once you get to know me, you'll find I have a lot to offer in a conversation, no matter the subject. I love to write, read and enjoy the simple things in life. Thanks to my friends who've supported me thus far. 2007 was a great year but I plan to kick it up a notch for 2008. Take care.

Fun? In Baghdad? A Theme Park Seeks A Comeback

Joe Hauser lives in La Crosse, Wis., where nearly 100 percent of older adults have signed a directive outlining their end-of life plans.

Now author Michael Belfiore has profiled the agency in a new book.Arlington Ladies Pay Tribute To Fallen Soldiers
The Arlington Ladies believe that no death should go unmourned. How do they make sure that happens? The group of women attend people's funerals, even though they don't know them. NPR's Petra Mayer caught up with a few of the ladies at Arlington National Cemetery during this week's Veterans Day celebrations.Television Writer David Lloyd Dies At 75
