I'm on my annual global adventure and thus far have posted on:

- "Japan: Seven Months After the Cataclysm," and

- "A Simple Solution for Europe."

This current tour through Brazil, Argentina and Peru brought to mind an obvious future for the region south...

I'm on one of my regular global odysseys, and today leave London for Sao Paolo. My previous blog provided an ultimate solution for Japan, my first stop since leaving Honolulu.

I've traveled through Europe at least a dozen times over the years and have driven from Stockholm...

I leave Japan today for the Netherlands, exactly seven months after the Great Tohoku Earthquake, Tsunami and Nuclear Cataclysm. In a previous adventure, I flew into Narita on March 12, the day after that fatal 9.0 earthquake. There was only a sporadic and minor train system that left...

This is my 100th posting in the Huffington Post. I've had a couple of retrospective articles, as for example at the end of 2008 with "Simple Solutions for 2009," and on May 12, 2009 on "My Year with the Huffington Post."

I want to do more...

The recent news flash from Italy and Switzerland that Opera researchers had observed a neutrino particle exceeding the speed of light did not excite the world much. If true, though, this bit of information should totally change physics as we know it. The Huffington Post had several articles...

This past week I hosted a group from the Tokyo University of Science at a seminar on the Manoa Campus of the University of Hawaii. Two presentations, in particular, were provided as the optimal solutions for Japan: the Blue Revolution and Heavy Ion Fusion.

The future...

Agreement was reached on the debt ceiling crisis. Big deal, facetiously and, also, actually, for the Republicans actually agreed to cuts in the defense budget.

I worked for three years in Congress, and while that was a long time ago, even then they played that game of charades...

A recent front page article in the Honolulu Star Advertiser indicated that the people density for Hawaii was 211 per square mile. So I wondered how this compared to the world, which, it turns out, is 34.5 / square mile. Considering we can still expand to...

... is to, for now, continue to increase it! Huh? Yes, I'm serious, and let me tell you why.

First of all, most of you lean to the Republican point of view because you are equating our national debt to your personal debt. We are conservative in this respect and...

During the past two months, I have spent some time in Japan and, no particular surprise, they are in deep trouble regarding energy supply. The great Tohoku earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster set them back to square 1945, and they will need to reinvent the country again. I...

It's now just past a month since the Great Tohoku Earthquake, Tsunami and Nuclear Cataclysm, starting with "Hawaii Tsunami, Again" on March 11. I landed at Narita Airport (Tokyo) on Day 2 (March 12), and my life has been driven by what I call the Chicken and Chicken...

It took me five trains and 15 hours to get from Sapporo to Tokyo, checked into the Four Seasons at Tokyo Station, ordered an in room dinner, began eating at 11:34PM, and the whole room began to shake, for a couple of minutes. A lot of creaking, and five...

In the beginning, there was the Big Bang... 13.75 billion years ago. Humans first developed as long as 100,000 years ago. In a 24-hour clock, this is like we appeared with less than one second (0.63 seconds, actually) left until midnight.

To gain some perspective, do you...

A little more than two years ago, I wrote a post entitled, "Renewable Electricity is Our Only Viable Option." The bottom line was that nuclear power plants were just too expensive. The 9.0 Great Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami has totally changed the comparison landscape, initially covered in...

This is part two of my reportage on the Great Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, which began with my post, "Hawaii Tsunami, Again." To refresh your memory, a 9.0 earthquake struck off Tohoku (includes the Prefectures of Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima), Japan with an energy value 600 million times...

A little more than a year ago I wrote in The Huffington Post on the tsunami that struck Hawaii from the 8.8 Chile earthquake. People were disappointed when, at most, there was a 2 foot tsunami.

Well, at 7:46 PM Hawaii time tonight, a massive 8.9 (revised to 9.0)...

I've spent my entire life on education, and several years ago while writing a chapter on education for my SIMPLE SOLUTIONS for Humanity, I stumbled across Walter Mischel's "Stanford Marshmallow Test" of 4-year-old children. You can read what happened by clicking on that link, but to quickly...

I had the most incredible dream recently. It is rare for me to actually remember a dream. This one lasted for what seemed like hours, and I can still vividly recall details.

This dream, in many ways, was a composite of my life. Some of you have gone through the...

Many, if not most, of you are not satisfied with our kindergarten to 12th grade school system and will choose to disagree. Great! I'm open to comments below.

I warn you, though, that I have been in education virtually all my life, and chapter three (serialized in Planet Earth...

I remember more than half a century ago when a high school classmate of mine traveled to Moscow. He came back with an incredible tale. The people there were surprised to learn that they were a threat to world peace. They primarily were afraid that the USA would attack them!...
