Owen Armstrong, Caring Kidpreneur
I try to leave the work-week on a high note. Our news/talk morning show receives a constant stream of texts and if we get a terrific one near the end of the show on a Friday, I’ll close the text window and just soak it in like a mental bubble bath.

The Ice Bucket Challenge
Bill Gates has done it.  So have Oprah, Ricky Gervais, Martha Stewart and a host of other internationally famous people. Finally, ALS – Lou Gehrig’s Disease – is getting some much-deserved attention and donations.  And it’s all through a bucket of cold, icy water that has gone viral, quickly. …

More than 500 workers at Kellogg’s are losing their jobs in 2014 but they continued a tradition of generosity.  Good people.  Great story.  And worth a randt. …
