Tina Brown: The Price of a Photo - Newsweek
Tina Brown: The Price of a Photo - Newsweek: "The deaths of the brave and brilliant photojournalists Chris Hondros and Tim Hetherington ripped the hearts of all those who care about bearing witness to the truth. At a time when it’s harder and harder to get attention for what’s happening in the dark places in the world, we leave it to talents like theirs—often unsupported by any news organization—to go on risking their lives to send us proof. NEWSWEEK regularly published the astonishing images recorded by both of them, and we do so again starting on page 38, along with veteran war correspondent Joshua Hammer’s account of their lives and work."
Dumped to die, this orphan is now a Gates scholar - The Times of India
Dumped to die, this orphan is now a Gates scholar - The Times of India: "She was just three days old, when she was left to die in a lonely alley in the temple town of Haridwar. Dumped to her fate, she lay by the roadside sobbing and gasping for breath amidst the ebb and flow the Ganga nearby. But destiny had something else in store. Soma Sharan was picked by a good Samaritan. That was 1993. And from an orphanage in Haridwar to heady Los Angeles to being the prestigious Gates Millennium scholar - it's been a giant leap of fate for the 18-year-old girl."

How to handle an office romance, especially after a messy breakup - The Economic Times: "Romantics may not agree. But before embracing coupledom, it helps to do a risk assessment. What happens if you break up? If you are next door neighbours, one might have to move house. Gym partners must look for different personal trainers. And if you share the same tax lawyer, investments must be immediately disentangled. These are painful, but workable decisions. What do you do if you work in the same office?"

Prepared 4 Life: Inspiring Entrepreneurs, One Lemonade Stand at a Time - AOL Small Business
Prepared 4 Life: Inspiring Entrepreneurs, One Lemonade Stand at a Time - AOL Small Business: "Michael Holthouse, the Houston-based entrepreneur and philanthropist behind National Lemonade Day, says his idea for a day centered around teaching youth about business all started with a turtle. Several years ago, his then 10-year-old daughter asked for a turtle, but Holthouse was against buying it for her. When she came up with the idea to do a lemonade stand to make money (and unbeknownst to him, to buy herself the turtle), Holthouse was excited to help his daughter out. He recalls that day being 'one of the most amazing days [they] ever spent together,' because it gave them an opportunity to talk about everything related to business -- a topic Holthouse was quite familiar with, having started, grown and sold his network services company Paranet to Sprint in 1997."
