What i saw during that time was nothing short of the most remarkable and awe inspiring movement of energy and hope in my lifetime. People of all ages, races, religions, status [...]
I am not in the NBA. I have not played competitive organized basketball since 1998 when i was a senior in highschool at Friends Select in center city Philadelphia. I attempt to play basketball a few times a week but alas, over the years i have had numerous injuries ranging from tendinitis in [...]

One laptop per child?
One laptop per child!
Huh…
How about one bottle of water per child.
How about one bottle of water per child per day.

I look in all the corner delis across NYC overflowing with Evian, Desani, Poland Spring, Aquafina. You mean to tell me [...]
