Monday's Daily Brief

Monday, April 16, 2012 Arianna Huffington: GPS for the Soul: A Killer App for Better Living Arianna Huffington: Just over two years ago, at the 25th anniversary of DotCom in Washington D.C., I was asked to predict what the game-changing inventions would be in the next 25 years of the Internet. Mine was less of a prediction than a hope -- that one day someone would create an app that would gauge the state of our mind, body, and spirit, and then offer us the exact steps we would need to take to realign all three aspects of our beings. At the time, I was just thinking out loud. But today, I'm delighted to announce that HuffPost is at work on an app we call "GPS for the Soul." I hope it will be just the beginning of our journey to reconnect with ourselves, our creativity, our intuition, and our wisdom.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: Stop the Nuclear Industry Welfare Program If the nuclear industry believes so fervently in its technology, then it and Wall Street investors can put their money where their mouth is. Let's let them finance it, insure it, and pay for it themselves. Tony Blair: In Favour of Philanthropy This is absolutely the right moment for government to do all it can to promote philanthropy; and certainly nothing to harm it. Leo W. Gerard: Titanic Tax Shirking by Those in First Class The 99 percent must insist Congress pass the Buffet Rule. They must render tax shirking by those in first class as unacceptable as driving with a pet dog strapped to the car roof. The survival-of-the-richest attitude is bad for the country and antithetical to democracy.
