Women treated to Mother's Day makeovers from Dress for Success
The women, who were selected by Dress for Success, will have their hair done by Larry's Barber College and Restore 3:16, makeup from The Kiki J. Experience, and clothing from Meredith Jaye. They're also being treated to brunch by The Protein Bar.
Dress for Success helps unemployed and underemployed women access programs, developmental tools and professional clothing to find and progress in their jobs and lives.
Larry, the founder of the barber college, joined the Mother's Day makeover and explained how he made history in Illinois. He was the first and only accredited barber school to be in the Cook County Jail.
"I wanted to give an opportunity for young men and women in there to kind of do something different with their lives," Larry said.
He ensures that formerly incarcerated people find jobs when they are released.

West Virginia athletic department agrees to partnership with local mulch company
On the same day Kansas received a record-breaking $300 million donation, one of the Jayhawks' Big 12 counterparts secured a deal of its own. West Virginia has agreed to a multi-year partnership with Grant County Mulch that makes the company the official mulch supplier of the Mountaineers' athletic department, the university announced August 13. Based in Petersburg, West Virginia, about 90 miles southeast of West Virginia's Morgantown campus, Grant County Mulch is the largest bulk mulch supplier in the country, according to the Mountaineers' release. As part of the newly inked and undeniably unique agreement — after all, how many colleges have an official mulch supplier? — Grant County Mulch will be racing a West Virginia-themed truck in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at the Richmond Raceway in Virginia on August 15. The truck is owned by CR7 Motorsports and will be driven by Grant Enfinger. Beyond the company's logo being displayed on LED boards at football and basketball games, as well as on the outfield wall at baseball games, the Mountaineers' post-game radio show for football and men's basketball will award a 'Tough as Mulch' player of the game. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. "Both of us — and our parents — were born and raised in West Virginia, so this partnership means more than business to us," Larry and Janie Berg, founders of Grant County Mulch, said in a statement. "It's about honoring our roots, supporting our home state, and being part of something that represents the pride and spirit of West Virginians everywhere."

Jim Cramer Says 'GE Aerospace is Going Much Higher'
GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer put under the spotlight. When a caller inquired about the company, highlighting the institutional support for CEO Larry Culp, Cramer said: 'Yes, he does, but what should we do? Do you want to know what we think it can do going forward?… I think that… General Electric, now GE Aerospace, is going much higher. Will it go much higher right now? No, but this is one where you must, must, must stay the course. And I'm going to throw in another one for club members to know this, I think that GE Vernova is even better. Sorry, Larry. I really think GE Vernova is even better.' Sergey Kohl / GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE) designs and manufactures aircraft engines and related systems for commercial and defense use, along with providing maintenance and repair services. The company's products include jet engines, power systems, and specialized components. During a July episode, when a caller inquired about the stock, Cramer replied: 'Oh, GE's fabulous. GE is fabulous, and I want you to hold it. Now, I mean, look, the temptation would be to cut some off because it just had a giant move. If you want to trim a little, that's fine, but I think that Larry Culp is going to tell a great story. It doesn't mean it can't come down. The stock is up in a straight line, up 53%. So, any stock can be vulnerable, but I think it is one of the best in the book.'
