5) Today Your Love, Tomorrow The World: Here's our lineup of weekly features that run each Tuesday on Melrose Patch:

• RETIRED—: With The Week Ahead running every Sunday and our on Wednesdays, we figured there's more than enough events roundups, so we bid adieu to our Kids Planner. But remember, you can always check out calendar for everything that's happening.

• Police Log: I usually get the log on Mondays from the Melrose Police Department and bring you a recap on Tuesdays.

• NEW DAY AND TIME—Poll Results: Every Wednesday we run a poll about a timely issue on Melrose Patch, and the following Tuesday, we'll bring you the results and invite you to continue the conversation.

As always, check our calendar for the full slate of events—and add your own!
