	Jared Bernstein: The VEEP Debate I understand the Republicans are calling it a draw, which should tell you that Vice President Biden did very well Thursday night against Representative Paul Ryan in their first and only debate.
	Mark Cuban: My Opinion On The Governor Romney Tax Plan After watching interviews of Governor Romney and the debates, both Presidential and VP, I'm starting to fully get my arms around how Governor Romney works and the details of his tax plan.
	Cecile Richards: Teens, Sex and Why Talking Matters If we want to help our kids to make healthy decisions, we have to be clear about our values and about the information we give them on how to stay safe. Nowhere is this truer than those seemingly awkward conversations with teens about sex.
	Marlo Thomas: Women and the 2012 Vote: It's Our Year! The economy may be sagging, the unemployment rate may be dispiriting, and the presidential candidates may be at each other's throats, but here's the good news: Women can decide the fate of the nation.
	Mehmet Oz, M.D.: The HPV and Cancer Stats You Can't Afford to Ignore The scary truth is that many women don't know they have HPV. You may believe you aren't at risk anymore if you're married or in a monogamous relationship. This simply isn't true.

	Robert Reich: The Politics of Fear and the Party of Non-Voters Republicans are well practiced in the politics of fear and the logistics of the big lie. The challenge for Obama and Biden and for the rest of us over the next four weeks is to counter their fearsome lies with the truth.
	Dean Baker: Social Security: President Obama's Biggest Failure in Last Week's Debate President Obama had a bad night when he faced Governor Romney in Denver for the first presidential debate. However, for many listeners the worst moment was when he quite clearly told the country that there was not much difference between his position on Social Security and Governor Romney's.
	Paul Rieckhoff: Big Bird Gets a Mention, Vets Left Out Entirely. Will VP Debate Be Any Different? No veteran should come home to an unemployment check. Candidates need to do more, and all Americans need to demand answers on how they plan to support new veterans and their families -- on jobs and other critical issues.
	Alicia Keys: Against Our Will: Poetry From Survivors of Human Trafficking Modern-day slavery is real. Whether it's sex trafficking or labor trafficking, in which people are being made to work brutally long hours with no pay, it's happening right in our backyards and it's heartbreaking.
	Muhammad Yunus: A Global Conversation to Join In addition to expanding the global dialogue, we also need to expand access to technologies -- giving more people the tools that will help them shape their own destinies. Each of us has the ability to unleash our creativity to find solutions that lift up people and communities.
