Playing Cards that ask:
Do you know who killed me?

Offering at-risk youth an alternative to crime: Starting their own business!
NEW YORK-December 12, 2009: I know most people don`t want to think about crime and violence right now, as we`re deep into the month of December -- a month with great spiritual significance. But, I`ve got two topics on the show this week that I think you`ll find very positive.
In my first segment, I`ll be talking about a unique deck of playing cards, which, in addition to the usual clubs, spades, hearts and diamonds, also feature the pictures of victims of unsolved homicides, missing persons or wanted fugitives. Each card asks: Do you know who killed me? or Do you know where I am? or Do you know something about me?
They`re distributed to prisons all around the country (and even some in Canada) and, as the prisoners play card games the smiling faces of these unaccounted-for victims flash before their eyes -- with the unspoken hope that the prisoners will interrupt their game, take a closer look at a card...and call in a tip. The results have been amazing!
My guests for this segment are Robert Wagner, Operations Manager of Effective Playing Cards & Publications, which has produced more than 60 of these Cold Case Decks and M. Wayne Cross, Executive Director of the Heartland Crime Stoppers, part of Crime Stoppers USA organization which sponsors the decks nationwide.
In my second segment, I`m going to introduce you to Steven Mariotti. After being a mugged in 1981, Steven quit his job, changed his life and founded the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship which, to date, has taught entrepreneurial skills to more than 230,000 young people from low-income communities all over the U.S. and around the world. He`s considered one of the leading experts in education for at-risk youth and says, "If low-income youth are given the opportunity to learn about entrepreneurship, their innate `street smarts` can easily develop into academic smarts and business smarts."
IT`D BE A CRIME NOT TO LISTEN!
