July 9, 2013

by Kent Sterling Today, sports columnist Bob Kravitz hosted his first annual golf outing to benefit the ALS Association, and I gave myself the afternoon off to play in it.

June 25, 2013

by Kent Sterling LinkenIn is a social media website with a huge stock valuation and millions of members.  I am sent invitations to network with people, join groups, and endorse those I know.
