Melinda Gates: From Farms to Family Planning: Investing in Women on World Contraception Day Today is World Contraception Day. I am celebrating by visiting a cassava farm in Tanzania.

Tuesday's Daily Brief: Welcome To HuffPost Italia!

Tuesday, September 25, 2012 Arianna Huffington: Benvenuti a L'Huffington Post! Arianna Huffington: Ciao from Rome, where I'm delighted to announce the launch of L'Huffington Post, bringing HuffPost's signature mix of news, blogging, community, and social engagement to Italy. I've always had a great fondness for the boot-shaped country and as a Greek, I feel a kinship with a fellow Mediterranean land where someone is always trying to get you to eat something and nothing starts on time. L'HuffPost will celebrate Italy's vibrant culture, from its cuisine, operas, and art to its traditions, ancient history and legendary cities. Please join me in welcoming Italia to the HuffPost family. And as always, let us know what you think!
