Monday's Daily Brief

Monday, October 3, 2011 Arianna Huffington: A Grand Slam of New Sites: Introducing Huff/Post50, HuffPost High School, HuffPost Gay Voices, and HuffPost Weddings Arianna Huffington: I am delighted to announce four new additions to the Huffington Post. Huff/Post50 covers the challenges, complexities, and joys faced by those of us who are part of the so-called "baby boom" generation, while HuffPost High School (launching tomorrow) is devoted to teens and the issues they care about -- everything from college prep to high school sports to proms and beyond. HuffPost has long covered LGBT news and opinion; HuffPost Gay Voices provides a platform for all these stories to live in one place -- making it easier for readers to find, share, and discuss them. And since we've always done things unconventionally at HuffPost, one year after launching our popular Divorce site, we've decided to bring you the latest news and opinion on getting -- and staying -- married: HuffPost Weddings. These four sections are part of our continued effort to provide content, community, and a platform for self-expression for as many of our readers' interests and passions as we can. GAY VOICES Lady Gaga Weighs In On Her Male Alter Ego As A Transgender Man FIFTY Levittown: The Baby Boomer Story As Told By The Children Of America's First Suburb NEW YORK PHOTOS: Occupy Wall Street Protesters Remain Defiant After Brooklyn Bridge Arrests GREEN Keystone Pipeline Lobbyist Had Cozy Relationship With State Department Staffers, New Emails Show WORLD Panetta Issues Warning On Israel, Urges Peace Talks BLOG POSTS Rita Wilson: Welcome to Huff/Post50 Many of you are looking to your future and creating a vision for the next few decades. Whether your future is Calgon clear or as grey as the hair you dye, life for Post50 Boomers is probably nothing like what your parents' was. Bill Maher: On Being Over 50 The thing about your fifties is, you're not nearly over -- in fact, lots of ambitious people are peaking -- but it is the first time in your life that you can see over the crest of the mountain and down into the Valley below -- you know, Death. Christiane Amanpour: To Thine Own Self Be True -- And Other Eternal Truths Love what you do in order to be good at it. Make sure to maintain the purpose and sense of mission. That is an eternal truth, but the older I get, the more urgent it becomes. Like many I miss my hormones, but I do think being older brings the gift of wisdom. Margaret Cho: 'Queer' I don't know why it's a difficult concept to understand. Most of the people I know have had sex with more than one person, and many have sex outside marriage. I just happen to have had it with people all along the gender scale. Lori Leibovich: Indiebride 2.0 I am thrilled to announce that as of today, Indiebride will become part of Huffington Post Weddings, a new site that embodies the spirit and mission of Indiebride -- a commitment to focusing not just on the wedding day, but the years of marriage to come.
