Glenn Nichols, city manager of Benson, Ariz.
NPR NEWS INVESTIGATIONS
The state's new law could send hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to prison. An analysis of fund-raising documents, lobbying records and corporate reports shows that the private prison industry helped draft and pass the measure.
EDUCATION
Find a quiet location. Keep a routine. Focus on one subject at a time. It all seems like sound advice for students who need to study, but new research indicates the conventional wisdom is all wrong. New York Times reporter Benedict Carey shares a list of ways to make the most of your study time.
FITNESS & NUTRITION
"Bonking" or "hitting the wall" is that awful moment when marathoners run out of gas.

Now a marathoning Harvard-MIT student has figured out how to calculate that point.
MUSIC INTERVIEWS
The guitarist opens up about his music, his legendary journeys on the road with The Rolling Stones and his occasionally contentious relationship with lead singer Mick Jagger in a new memoir called Life.

IT'S ALL POLITICS
Christine O'Donnell appeared not to know that the First Amendment requires the separation of church and state. She revealed this lack of knowledge at a debate with rival Chris Coons at before an audience of law professors and students.
MEDICAL TREATMENTS
Shock-wave therapy for plantar fasciitis is beginning to catch on around the U.S., partly since this stubborn type of foot pain is so common -- and so difficult to treat. But studies show conflicting results, partly because there's no standardized method.
POP CULTURE
A little Muppet girl has started a sensation. The brown doll with a beautifully kinky mop of hair sings "I Love My Hair." The song was written by Joey Mazzarino, Sesame Street's head writer. He wrote the song to help his adopted daughter celebrate herself and, of course, her hair.
