Unlike Chopra's previous novel Soulmate, which dwelt at length on specifically Eastern ideas like karma and reincarnation, Daughters focuses on a figure long popular in Western myth and legend, and among contemporary New Agers as well: the Wise Woman. Its slim plot revolves around Jess Conover, a young reporter at a Boston newspaper. Confused, adrift and emotionally anemic, Jess stumbles, seemingly by chance, on a classified ad in a newspaper: "Love has found you. Tell no one. Just come...

...Called Quest, Q-Tip contributed to albums like “The Low End Theory” and “Midnight Marauders”—full of loping bass lines, crisp percussion, clever rhymes, and a whole lot of good vibes. Q-Tip was the buttery-smooth, laid-back voice on some of the best tracks that hip-hop has to offer.

Since September, Podesta has been quietly working with current White House chief of staff Josh Bolten and Bolten's deputy, Blake Gottesman, to make sure the transition is as smooth as possible. Bolten and Gottesman have been offering advice on which posts need to be filled quickest and making their personnel available to Obama advisers. More than 100 interim security clearances have already been granted to Obama aides. "If a crisis hits on Jan. 21, they're the ones who are going...

...boredom caused by endless repetition—unfortunately, calling the vegetable candy roaster versus spaghetti does not change its essence—but it does not end there. Squash is not a magical food. As an additional vegetable or starch, squash provides an option to students who enjoy its smooth texture. It has no place, however, as a consistent replacement entree for vegetarians. A student who eats butternut squash soup at lunch does not necessarily want to consume red kuri squash with curry for dinner but is left with few alternatives.
