So yesterday was my daughter, Sarah the author and Young Pro's leader's birthday. She has reached the age I was when she was born...28 years ago.   Reflecting back it's hard to picture myself at that age. I can remember feeling nervous, scared of the unknown, excited and in a state of wonderment all at the same time. The events of that year aren't

Go organic...or else

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) put out a list last month of the "dirtiest fruit and vegetables." Those that contain the most pesticides. As the shopper in the family this piqued my interest.   Here's the top 12 "dirtiest" conventionally grown: Apples Strawberries Grapes Celery Peaches Spinach Sweet Bell Peppers Nectarines (imported) Cucumber

As Todd read the confidential document put in front of him he felt his neck tense and his hands slowly start to clench. It seemed like an eternity ago when he had committed himself to the movement. They had put him in the town of Candido Godoi monitoring all the twins to see which had potential. It was boring work but he wanted to be a part of some

How old?
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

Got up, got out of bed and dragged a comb across my head. Before going downstairs to have a cup I stopped short in front of the mirror. I was staring in total disbelief and thought "who is this guy?" His beard is "frosted" and he looks much older than I thought. I eventually realized that the image in the mirror was me but I was expecting to see so

New justice
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

An Ohio judge came up with a unique solution to punish a 62-year-old man who was found guilty of harassing his neighbors over the course of a 15-year feud.   As a punishment, Edmond Aviv will be forced to stand outside on Sunday for five hours with a sign that reads: "I AM A BULLY! I pick on children that are disabled, and I am intolerant of those

Really?
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

Last Thursday was an office day. Banging away at my computer I was getting a bit wigged out and it was only 3. I had a bad case of the afternoon doldrums. So I took a break and decided to go outside. I stood there without a coat on, my eyes closed, soaking up the sunshine and warm air. It felt a little strange but quite exhilirating. Then I realize

Garbage in - power out
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

Do you think it's possible? It sounded incredible to me. I remember, in the movie Back To The Future, the unit that powered Doc Brown's cool DeLorean car/time machine. It was called Mr. Fusion and was powered by organic junk.   Well hello McFly...a guy named Jim Mason is building gasification machines he calls the Power Pallet that turns garbage in

Malaysian flight MH370, as I write this, is still missing after one week and the stories are flying (pun intended:).   Hijacked, crashed, aliens...you name it, it's been written and diseminated on the most trusted news source we have - the internet.   The search now involves 13 countries and more than 100 ships and aircraft. This morning, the Prime

What's the beef?
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

"U.S. and Italian researchers tracked thousands of adults during nearly two decades and found that those who ate a diet high in animal proteins during middle age were four times more likely to die of cancer than contemporaries with low-protein diets — a risk factor, if accurate, comparable to smoking. They also were several times more likely to die

Solar City
Posted By : Mitch Tobol

The world's largest solar farm is fully operational. Called Ivanpah, it has almost 350,000 mirrors the size of garage doors that tilt toward the sun with an ability to energize 140,000 homes covering over 5 square miles of the Mojave Desert. All those mirrors are focused on tubs of water to make steam. That cost 2.2 Billion dollars of which Googl
