You run and you run, and you don’t shed a pound. It’s one of the leading emotional pain points for people who exercise. All of that effort and so little reward, but why is that? Simple: Cardio is not the fastest way to lose weight, and it’s certainly not the only way. There is a solution, though, which will allow you to spend less time in the gym and see even better results.
You’ve Heard: You Can’t Burn Fat With Strength Training
Far too many people are focused on how many calories they burn while they’re in the gym, but this is

“The entire cosmos is a cooperative. The sun, the moon, and the stars live together as a cooperative. The same is true for humans and animals, trees, and the Earth. When we realize that the world is a mutual, interdependent, cooperative enterprise — then we can build a noble

There are times when the church makes you feel proud. Priests’ responses to 9/11, 10 years ago, is one of them.
This became evident as the U.S. Bishops’ Office of Media Relations interviewed and sought reflections from a few persons for “The Catholic Church Remembers.”
Cardinal Edward Egan, retired archbishop of New York, was one of the first responders that fateful

Next to lists of emergency phone numbers tacked to the inside door of her kitchen cabinets, Jennifer Grant has posted prayers to remind her that parenthood is both a labor of love and a sacred calling.
Inside the cupboard with the cereal bowls is a prayer from page 829 of the Book of Common Prayer: “Almighty God, heavenly Father, you have blessed us with the joy and care of children: Give us calm strength and patient wisdom as we bring them up, that we may teach them to love
whatever is just and true and good, following your example of our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.”
In the cabinet where coffee mugs are kept, resides a prayer given to her by a friend. “God our Father, you see your children growing up in an unsteady and confusing world.

This week, the continuing riots in London once again demonstrated the power of social media, for good and for bad: rioters used BlackBerry Messenger to organize their mayhem, but @riotcleanup on Twitter has drawn throngs of people to efforts to restore ravaged neighborhoods. In Wisconsin, voters gave walking papers to two Walker-aligned GOP state senators, but Democrats fell short of recalling the three Republicans needed to take control. In Iowa, all the GOP candidates indicated they would reject a hypothetical deficit reduction deal with a spending cut vs.

Study Shows Food Quality, Not Calories, Determines Your Fat-Burning Abilities
Remember that professor who lost 27 pounds on the “Twinkie Diet” and argued it didn’t matter how you lost weight if you just reduced your calories? A new study from Harvard University knocks that bogus theory on its poorly-supported head.
The study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, followed 120,877 men and women between 12 and 20 years to explore how multiple factors influenced weight loss or gain over a four-year period.
Let’s get the bad news out of the way first. Participants gained an average of three and a half pounds every four years, resulting in almost 17 additional pounds over 20 years time.
Some conclusions weren’t surprising. Non-exercisers, for instance, became fatter than

Sometimes Iowa picks ‘em — and some times not. Today NOT.
In the GOP-sort out straw poll held in Ames, Iowa, Tea Party diva Michele Bachmann bested libertarian favorite Ron Paul as the winner. But more importantly, no one in the top 5 had any real chance of leading a 2012 GOP

Never in my lifetime has the disconnect between Washington and the nation been so great. Americans are crying “jobs, jobs, jobs.” Their leaders are saying “deficits, deficits, deficits.” Whether we’re heading toward another recession, we’re facing an ongoing employment and economic crisis that shows no sign of abating. And, unbelievably, folks in Washington — or at least those with the power to make a difference — seem willing or resigned to letting the crisis continue.
As an academic who’s examined how deeply the Great Recession has affected Americans lives and expectations, I often wonder what it will take to prompt a course correction. Clearly more studies aren’t going to rescue us, and ultimately I’m convinced the pressure will have to come from people joining together to press for

Mitt Romney got a lot of press for telling a heckler at the Iowa State Fair that “corporations are people.” He did not go on to sing that Patti Smith song, People Have the Power.
But corporate “people” certainly do. Their power was on display this week, both in Washington and among the Republicans campaigning for the nomination.
Ordinary People
Here’s Romney’s quote in context:
“Corporations are people, my friend… of course they are. Everything corporations earn ultimately goes to the

Imam Khalid Latif is blogging his reflections during the month of Ramadan, featured daily on HuffPost Religion. For a complete record of his previous posts, click over to the Islamic Center at New York University or visit his author page, and to follow along with the rest of his reflections, sign up for an author email alert above.
Living in New York city, it’s hard to find a time when the city is asleep. I love living here for that reason — because it makes those few hours when it is asleep that much more meaningful. The tranquility of the streets of New York in the late, late, late night and early morning is really a beautiful thing to

No Somali mother should have to choose which child to pick up and feed, and which toddler to lay down and “leave him behind to his God on the road.”
The world has food and resources enough that no parent should be forced to face such a “Sophie’s Choice.” This dilemma is triggered by the worst drought the Horn of Africa has faced in 60 years. This crisis is affecting 12 million people in Kenya, Ethiopia, Djibouti and my home country of Somalia, which is the epicenter.
Somali people are suffering and dying not just because the rains failed, but also because the policy of the U.S. and the larger international community toward Somalia has failed.
Somali people like me are angry, frustrated and heartbroken, but we don’t give in to despair. Somalia’s problems are systemic, complex and interwoven, not susceptible to easy, instant

After confessing to his wife last year that he’d had flings with numerous women–he wasn’t sure how many but guesstimated “about 10″ in their five-year relationship — Mark Owen, a member of the Brit pop band That That, did what a lot of guys might do to make things better: He tried to buy her back.
Not with Tiffany diamond earrings or a sleek new Mercedes, but the promise of a $3.6 million house.
It must have worked. Although they’re still looking for the house of their dreams, they’re still together and That That is out with a new double CD and a tour. No surprise the 39-year-old singer’s two kids and wife Emma Ferguson are along for the ride.
It isn’t all that unusual for a couple to want to try to reconcile; the devil you know is often better than the one you don’t, says Arlene Dubin, author of “Prenups for Lovers.”
Says Dubin: “Reconciliation is not uncommon, especially today. When people go through the process, they take a fresh look at themselves and their partners, and they often decide that the good outweighs the

Can you remember those precious moments in your life when you felt so ecstatically whole and in balance that it brought tears to your eyes? The great poet Kabir once wrote:
At rare and precious times in each of our lives, we catch a glimpse of the exquisite balance we call “grace.” If you are an athlete, you might describe this experience as being in “the zone.” For others, such an event is regarded as a “peak experience.” And for those with a more spiritual orientation, such rapturous moments of unity and wholeness may be reverently regarded as “moments of grace” or as “spontaneous communion with the sacred Source” — by whatever name you call it. These are times when balance is realized in its fullness across all dimensions of our being.
Kabir saw this for fifteen seconds, and each of us in our own ways — in the rare and precious moments in our lives — have also caught a glimpse of unity and wholeness beyond description. In one of our favorite accounts, Mary Austin remembers:
Can you remember a time when your tiny bubble of self cracked open, dissolved or expanded, when your inner and outer worlds touched, communicated and unified? Can you remember the exquisite moments of love, peace and wholeness, when boundaries dissolved, and you beheld yourself and your world as radiant and alive with a sacred Presence?
Remembering those moments of profound balance and grace in your life:
What stands out to you when you recall them?
What qualities of being were most alive for you then?
What inner or outer factors seem to make you receptive to this sublime balance?
What inner or outer factors seem to reduce your availability to such grace?
How have these timeless moments lived on for you or influenced how you have chosen to live your life?
How did those experiences influence how you relate to other people or other living creatures?
Grace is found in both intense peace and activity. Polls tell us that a third of us — your friends, family and coworkers — have had a profound or life-altering religious or mystical

When our younger daughter came home from college one year, she presented me with a coffee mug. The motto on the coffee mug read: “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”
“Isn’t that your philosophy in a nutshell?” she laughed. She was exactly
