Tuesday's Daily Brief

Tuesday, October 11, 2011 Arianna Huffington: Bonjour, Paris: HuffPost and Le Monde Announce Le Huffington Post! Arianna Huffington: Bonjour from Paris! It's 3 a.m. Tuesday morning here. This has been a really exciting day. Every time I come to Paris -- starting with my first trip outside Greece when I was 11 -- I love every minute here. But this trip was special, as I'm here to announce the upcoming launch of Le Huffington Post, in partnership with Le Monde and French media powerhouse Les Nouvelles Editions Indépendantes (LNEI). The new site, which will of course be in French, will be up and running by the end of the year, combining HuffPost's signature mix of news, blogging, community, and social engagement with our partners' unmatched local expertise. Le Huffington Post will be deeply rooted in French culture and run by French journalists. It will, like France itself, have a very distinct personality -- its own way of approaching the world. And to make that happen, we couldn't have found better partners.

Cyndi Lauper: Give a Damn Twenty to 40 percent of homeless youth identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, yet only 3 to 5 percent of the general population does the same. Shock was the first thing I felt when I heard this statistic, and then sadness. David Berri: NBA Owners to the Players: This Is a Stick-Up! Although it's unclear when the latest labor dispute between players and owners in the National Basketball Association will end, it's very clear that the owners will ultimately win. How can we be so sure? Eve Ensler: Ambiguous UpSparkles From the Heart of the Park (Mic Check/Occupy Wall Street) Occupy Wall Street is a work of art, exploding onto a canvas in search of form, in search of an image, a vision. Keli Goff: Did the Media Stumble With Steve Jobs Coverage? Last week America lost a man who changed the world. If you assume I'm referring to Steve Jobs, the Apple founder who passed away last week after a lengthy battle with cancer, you'd be wrong. I'm actually referring to Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth.
