Dr. Madan Kataria, an Indian doctor and student of Yoga, began research on the health benefits of laughter in 1995. Dr. Kataria was impressed by Norman Cousins' book Anatomy of an Ill …

Contra dance is a kind of social dance with live music where a caller teaches the figures.  You don't need to come with a partner, and while there is a short lesson before each of our dances it's optional.  Most people learn contra dancing by doing it. It looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beOFeIIk4KY You should wear comfortable clothes that you can move easily in.  High heels don't work well.  We'll have water but if you'd like to save cups bringing a water bottle is good.

When that happens, which it will, very soon....there should be a celebration. The citizens of Boston have shown the country just how united we are after Monday's bombings. I am heartbroken over the tragedy this has caused so many people and their families. Instead of cowering or letting this level of evil affect us, let us gather together to celebr …
