In 2002, Jennifer Lynne was 35 and the mother of two young boys. An avid jogger, she began to feel out of breath and shaky at the slightest exertion. She felt a tightness in her chest and was cold and clammy. Aware of her family’s history of heart disease, Lynne thought she was dying. A trip to the emergency room and heart tests, however, showed Lynne’s heart was fine. “The doctor told me I had the heart of a 16-year-old!” said Lynne. “I couldn’t believe it. What was going on?” Two years and five trips to the emergency roo...
Eating disorders are complex, serious health problems that affect seven million women and girls in the United States.

FALLBROOK — Flushing the toilet just took on new environmental meaning. A plan to recycle sludge into fertilizer has become a reality for the Fallbrook Public Utility District (FPUD). The district has begun recycling its nutrient-rich, organic sludge from the wastewater treatment plant into a safe and renewable resource: organic Class A fertilizer. The equipment that recycles the sludge is now installed, up and running at FPUD’s treatment plant off Alturas Road, and is worth more than $1 million. But the machinery will save F... Full story
San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) power is about to be installed next door to my house, so I’m having to think about the pros and cons of increasing my small off-grid system versus going on the grid.

The densely packed canary yellow flowers are followed by equally showy yellow, orange and red berries. The silvery foliage compliments the warm colors of its blooms and fruit and makes Nevin’s barberry a handsome shrub in...
