Today, Consider One Day Without Shoes
By Jane Healey - AOL NewsIn developing countries, being unable to afford shoes is an unfortunate fact of life for many children. Children often have to walk barefoot for miles to get to school, to get clean water or to find medical assistance. And being barefoot in all sorts of weather and terrain puts these children at risk for diseases and infections that could be prevented if they simply had shoes on their feet. In 2006, American Blake Mycoskie was biking in Argentina and witnessed this problem firsthand. Wanting to help get shoes on the feet of children in need, he created TOMS Shoes. TOMS' business model is ...

Naked Pianist Proud of His Organ
By Chris Epting - AOL NewsOn a dusty stretch of I-10 in Arizona, near the California border, sits the tiny town of Quartzsite. It's a mecca for RV snowbirds along with gem and mineral rock hounders. But there's another attraction along the main strip that's fascinated folks for more than 20 years: the Reader's Oasis bookstore. Why is it so popular? Well, it might be the thousands of rare, interesting, well-priced books and magazines crammed into every bit of spare space. Then again, it might be the bookseller himself, a rail-thin, leather-tanned storyteller named Paul Winer. Chris Epting for AOL ...

By Torie Bosch - AOL NewsEveryone's a media critic.
