I recently interviewed David J. Alwadish, who is the CEO of ItsEasy.com and arguably founded the passport expediting business decades ago. If you watch the interview below, you will see that David is a Yankees fan like myself (we were both wearing our NY Yankees caps). He was wearing his because after our interview, he was heading out to Yankee Stadium to watch the game and deliver an expedited passport to one of the executives. So you know he's the real deal. RELATED: 12 Passport Tips That Will Save You Time, Money and Headaches I asked David a lot of passport-related questions, including where people can get one in an emergency.

(Yonhap Feature) SK-plastic recycling cluster(Yonhap Feature) 'Waste to resources': SK gets ball rolling in high-tech plastic recycling By Kim Seung-yeon ULSAN, Sept. 17 (Yonhap) -- The process of recycling plastics is most widely known to be about breaking used plastics into little pieces, washing, sorting and drying them before turning what's left of them into new plastics. Chemical recycling, the more sophisticated method, involves extracting raw materials from used plastics or significantly changing the chemical structure of the waste; hence, there is no need to sort by color or condition of contamination.

This once-mighty river is where humans first developed agriculture, writing and the wheel. But now the lifeblood of the ancient world is under threat. Reaching the source of the Tigris is not an easy task. Where a dirt road ends, a small path leads over the shoulder of a jagged mountain whose peaks are gnawed like fingernails. The path becomes a goat track, treacherously narrow, winding around the hillside until it is halted by a tumble of springs. These form a torrential stream that disappears into a vast, arched tunnel.
