Nonprofit Helping to Bring Fresh Foods to the Inner City
By Dave Thier - AOL NewsWalk into any corner store in an inner city and you'll probably see a similar sight: some chips, candy bars, maybe cleaning supplies, lottery tickets, cigarettes and a few other sundries. Romano's Grocery in Philadelphia, however, is a little different. There are fresh fruits and vegetables, glistening meats, fish and healthy bread. And perhaps most importantly, there's Juan Carlos Romano himself, a grocer who's there to help the customers work their way through his offerings. Romano was the first client of Urbane Development, a group that helps inner-city bodega owners transform their ...
Bernie Williams, Going to Bat Against Hunger
By Chris Epting - AOL News"It was great. I mean, I play different stuff than rock 'n' roll, but they made me feel right at home up there. It's what I love about music. I can adjust to other situations than I'm used to being in. That's music. Whatever the groove, it's fun to adjust."

Hospital-Gown-Hating Cancer Survivor Invents Her Own
By David Moye - AOL NewsThere's an old saying: "Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door." It should apply to hospital gowns. Although many doctors and nurses now have the option of wearing scrubs in all sorts of fun patterns and colors, hospital gowns haven't benefited from any sort of fashion update. Nope, they are still paper-thin, still short-sleeved with a tie in the back that does little to cover the backside. Although many patients grumble at wearing these flimsy excuses for clothing, one New Jersey woman got so angry that she decided to make a hospital gown she could wear ...
Sixth-Grade Philanthropist Offers Grant to Encourage Gardening
By Susanna Baird - AOL NewsSixth-grader Katie Stagliano knows how multiply. She turned a 40-pound cabbage from her garden into part of a meal for 275 people at a Charleston, S.C., soup kitchen.

Dead Drops: The New Peer-to-Peer File-Sharing Network
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News(Nov. 1) -- This brings new meaning to plugging your computer into the wall. "Dead drops," a new social initiative devised by German architect and artist Aram Bartholl, creates an offline peer-to-peer file-sharing network through "injecting USB flash drives into walls, buildings and curbs."

I had planned to write a quick post discouraging donations to big, bloated, bureaucratic charities with overpaid CEOs and marketing budgets more appropriate for multinational oil companies than nonprofits. ...
Non-Profit: Not Going To Save Newspapers
By Tony Romm - Politics DailyAnimated disagreement between coworkers is a venerable tradition often denied to Bright Hall's far-flung, break room-less staff. Advise & Dissent is an attempt to fix that. Click here for past debates, and click here to read Matt Negrin's first post on non-profit newspapers. Perhaps some journalists will head to work tomorrow (assuming they still have a job) rather relieved: A new bill, introduced on Tuesday by Sen. Benjamin Cardin, D-Md, would allow struggling broadsides to declare themselves as "non-profit," pursuant to the U.S. Tax Code's guidelines for 501(c)(3) organizations. In English: ...
