Limelight America will soon introduce NTR, National Teen Radio, a network and a vocal platform designed exclusively for teens (no adults allowed) who will be invited to call in to voice their opinions followed by a Q & A discussion. The only ground rules: No screaming to make a point - the policy is to let cooler heads prevail - and there will be zero tolerance for bad language. Its a radio show that will let the adults tune in and learn something about what's on their own kids' minds.

Henry Luce was one of - if not the most prolific publishers of the 20th Century having created Time Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Fortune and perhaps the most successful of them all, Life Magazine. Luce was one of the most influential Americans  of his day. He was so powerful that he could impact Congress and the Federal Reserve. With revenue of $37+ Billion annually and growing and 35,000 locations in 80 countries, Starbucks is unique in many ways but amazingly you will never see a Starbucks commercial because Starbucks does not advertise. They rely on word-of-mouth alone to grow their company.
