...decided that there was a voluminous amount of studies that focus solely on media and violence. So they wanted to stay away from that. Now, with our report, there are two important words to distinguish between: correlation and causation. This report doesn't say, nor would Common Sense ever suggest, that media is the cause of all society's ills, or the sole cause of childhood obesity or risky sexual behavior or smoking or alcohol use among teens. But it is a significant contributing factor. That's different from saying it's the sole cause. And a very important thing...

It did not work when Reagan first proposed it, it does not work now, and there is nothing to suggest that it will work in the future.

This is a revelation that will surprise few Indians and provide fresh political capital to others. Already, the Shiv Sena, a Hindu nationalist group based in Mumbai...

Indeed, the city's packed yoga classes overflowed with believers, instructors who started class by venerating the Prophet Muhammad on his birthday, Ramadan classes where everyone was fasting and went all noodlely by the end. Most seemed sensible enough to realize you could lower or raise the spirituality volume of yoga as you pleased, and that doing downward facing dog didn't make you a bad Muslim. One of my girlfriends even attended a Sufi yoga class where the teacher played...
