Thank you to everyone already helping out with the relief from Hurricane Sandy. In Queens in Long Island there is a place called the Rockaways that has been devastated. Unfortunately because of geography, local politics, damage and debris, clean up is not happening as efficiently and with a sense of urgency as it needs to. Temperatures are [...]
A while ago a friend of mine introduced me to this website where people answer basic questions of life. What is the meaning of life? What makes you happy? When do you feel most authentic? These are all questions that I could really relate to since I began Project Kinect. This website gives you an opportunity to read and [...]
Last week, in the matter of just a few days we experienced as many tornadoes as we sometimes see in an entire year. This takes a lot of help and organization to clean up and so I wanted to set this Monday toward getting some of this information out there. In the next few days [...]

At age 31, Chelsea Clinton is taking a brave step forward to go in front of the camera, not as a public figure in the White House, but as a delivery woman of the news. Today it was made public that Chelsea Clinton, the same young woman that we all watched grow up while her [...]
I thought for this Monday Spotlight it would be great to get away from the Occupy Wall Street movement, the American Jobs Act, and the Republican candidate race and focus on something I saw on Fox News last week. I am not a normal viewer of Fox News, but as I was passing through the [...]
