Arianna Huffington recently appeared at a Yale Political Union debate centered around whether blogs are good for democracy. Several Yale students gave speeches at the debate, and we have highlighted some of them on the Huffington Post. Read all of the published speeches by clicking here . Surely everyone has had the experience of getting up from a theater seat or shutting a back cover of a book with their chest stirred or warmed. But a few months ago I had a strange experience as I was walking out of a theater with a couple of friends. As I dwelled on the soaring landscapes and intricate plot, they picked apart and intellectualized the beauty in the movie until the gestalt that could please the eye or tug at the heartstrings or stir one to action completely disintegrated. Blogs are much the same way. It's not that blogs are driven by sensationalism like the mainstream media, but uniquely by a need for originality. In a universe of millions of blogs - in this free marketplace of ideas - one is noticed for saying something new; demand is for new answers and new questions like: What's the take or interpretation that no one else has thought of? What's the real motive? What's lurking behind the surface? This necessarily involves picking apart - de-spinning if you will - the stories told to us.

Japan's kimono market has shrunk to about $4 billion in annual sales, according to Tokyo-based research firm Yano Research Institute. (For example, on a formal occasion, fine patterns are a no-no.) Modern thinkers -- fewer in number, though growing -- shrug at the do's and don'ts and encourage kimono wearers to use accessories, paint their nails or even wear high heels -- something long considered taboo. ...

9th Annual Conference. A Showcase for Delicious Traditional Food A Unique Opportunity for Health Professionals and Laymen interested in Diet and Health *********************** The Weston A. Price Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt charity founded in 1999 to disseminate the research of nutrition pioneer Dr. Weston Price, whose studies of isolated nonindustrialized peoples established the parameters of human health and determined the optimum characteristics of human diets. Dr. Price's research demonstrated that humans achieve perfect physical form and perfect health generation after generation only when they consume nutrient-dense whole foods and the vital fat-soluble activators found exclusively in animal fats. The Foundation is dedicated to restoring nutrient-dense foods to the human diet through education, research and activism. It supports a number of movements that contribute to this objective including accurate nutrition instruction, organic and biodynamic farming, pasture-feeding of livestock, community-supported farms, honest and informative labeling, prepared parenting and nurturing therapies. Specific goals include establishment of universal access to clean, certified raw milk and a ban on the use of soy formula for infants. The Foundation seeks to establish a laboratory to test nutrient content of foods, particularly butter produced under various conditions; to conduct research into the "X Factor," discovered by Dr. Price ( ...
