Green Business Awards 2010: Waste Reduction and Recycling - Winner Leyland Trucks
Landfill is one of the least environmentally friendly methods of getting rid of our waste.
It produces toxic liquids which can pollute waterways and methane gas which contributes to climate change. It's also becoming a lot more expensive as companies and public authorities have to pay steadily increasing landfill taxes.
Leyland Trucks, like many businesses, had already taken steps to reduce its waste to landfill and over a 10-year period had cut the percentage going to landfill from 75% to 34%. In 2008, the company set itself an altogether more ambitious goal: to eliminate all waste to landfill by the end of the year.
The approach taken was to set up a Six Sigma process management project, with the team carrying out a detailed audit of the different categories of waste being produced on the site and then identifying recycling methods for each of the waste types. Some of the ideas came from assembly operators who were the ones used to handling the materials and saw the opportunities.
The objectives of the project were publicised in weekly employee briefings and shop-floor and office teams held meetings to discuss what sort of waste was being generated in different areas of the factory Suggestions were submitted through the company's ideas generation scheme, Every Little Counts.
The audit found the biggest source of waste was paint sludge, accounting for 65% of all material sent to landfill. General waste made up 29%, wood waste 4% and canteen waste and glass each contributed 1%.
Overspray from the paint booth is now sent to a plant where it is used to make cement. Packaging foam was put to a variety of uses, including making new household products and road building, treated wood was taken as a bio-fuel and general waste was sent to an Energy from Waste plant supplying electricity to the National Grid. …

RequestLogging service is an instance of
atg.reporting.datacollection.RequestLogging. This interface defines methods that generate a request log entry and send it to an assigned set of Data Collection listeners. In addition, the ID of the log entry is returned and associated with the request by the
get/setRequestId methods. This request ID allows content viewed log events to associate what content is extracted from a Content Management System with a specific request. A centralized event handler listens for Page Events and then generates the request log entry. These Page Events are, by default, fired for every HTTP request that is serviced by the ATG server. Obviously this may generate more data than is required. You can reconfigure the
RequestLogging service to generate page events only for the pages in which you are interested. For more information, see the Personalization Module Tracking chapter in this manual.

If We Don't Measure Leverage, We Risk More CrisesMark Buchanan
Dec. 10 (Bloomberg) -- You can't control what you don't measure.
In engineering, control theory is all about using information gained by measuring a system to plan and carry out intelligent actions that will control it. Ideally, it leads to desirable outcomes, such as a nuclear reactor that doesn't melt down, or a robotic arm that does precisely what it is supposed to do.
In the case of the economy, we might not be measuring everything we need to achieve control.
For at least half a century, policy makers seeking to control inflation and unemployment have typically focused on managing interest rates. The U.S. Federal Reserve lowers its target rate if the economy stalls, and raises it if inflation appears on the horizon. The recent financial crisis, however, had more to do with the amount of borrowing people did and the way such leverage fueled a bubble in the housing market.
Where does leverage currently fit in the equation of macroeconomic stability? Surprisingly, the answer seems to be that it doesn't.
For 15 years, Yale economist John Geanakoplos has argued that policy makers should pay more attention to leverage. Prevailing interest rates determine the cost of borrowing, if a borrower ultimately repays the loan.
Independent Quantity
Leverage -- reflected by how much collateral people or firms need to put down to borrow and might lose if they fail to pay the loan back -- determines how much someone can buy with a given amount of starting capital. It's an independent quantity that also influences what happens in the economy, whether borrowing is easy and attractive or not.
Importantly, leverage isn't a fixed quantity. It changes over time as people get more or less optimistic and lenders more or less confident of being repaid. Geanakoplos makes a convincing case that such changes in leverage can and routinely do drive major economic booms and busts, and that managing leverage should be as much a part of the Fed's activities as managing interest rates.
The core of his argument rests on a common-sense insight: An increase in leverage generally leads directly to an increase in prices. Consider the housing market. At any moment, you'll find that some people are more optimistic than others, more convinced that prices will go up in the future and hence eager to invest on that belief. If banks change their practice to require only a 5 percent down payment, rather than 20 percent, these optimists have more to spend. They can purchase up to 20 times the value of their own funds, rather than just 5 times, hoping to profit when things go well. As more money chases the available houses, prices go up, which makes the optimists even more bullish.
In a series of papers and presentations, Geanakoplos has documented how the leverage effect operates in the real world (see further discussion on my blog). From 2000 to 2005, for example, down payments on home mortgages fell from about 15 percent to 3 percent. Leverage increased similarly for banks and hedge funds borrowing to buy mortgage-backed securities. Housing prices rocketed up, spurring home-building and all kinds of other economic activity.
The boom also set the stage for collapse. As markets grew more volatile, and everyone more uncertain, lenders of all kinds naturally wanted to preserve their money, so they increased collateral demands accordingly. By 2008, investors could buy only $1.20 in mortgage securities for each dollar of their own money, compared with $15 in 2006. The down payments required on new mortgage loans rose to as much as 30 percent.
Leverage Cycle
Geanakoplos argues that this dynamic is not a one-off peculiarity of the latest financial crisis, of modern banking, deregulation and derivatives. He sees it as a natural cycle -- the leverage cycle -- that is fully able on its own to drive an economy up and down even if interest rates stay the same. He suggests we've had three crises linked to the leverage cycle in the past 20 years: in 1994, in 1998 and in 2008.
If you take his view seriously, it looks as if economic theory, and the Fed policy based upon it, hasn't been paying attention to the right variables. Some economists are working to include leverage in the basic models that central banks use, and we can hope they will succeed. The Fed is beginning to collect data of the kind that would be useful for identifying leverage changes and their effect on economic activity, but how far leverage control will enter practical policy and regulation on banking and investment firms remains unclear.
Crises incur real damage, in the form of lost jobs, credit-starved companies and people who can't borrow to buy a car or fix their house. Banks wouldn't be in such precarious condition, and so many homeowners wouldn't be underwater, if leverage had not reached such extreme proportions before falling back again. To avoid such outcomes in the future, we need to find ways to manage leverage as well as interest rates.
Since the crisis, there have been myriad proposals for new measures to detect systemic risk. The mathematics and data used are getting ever more complex. Yet one of the most important measures may be one of the simplest. We've understood the benefits and potential dangers of leverage for a long time. Now we need to start measuring it.

LGBT Fraternity Sues Upstart Chapter For Trademark Infringement
California – A collegiate fraternal organization dedicated to the interests of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students filed a trademark infringement lawsuit on Wednesday against a new fraternity at the University of California at Santa Cruz that it says is using a confusingly similar name.
Delta Lambda Phi National Social Fraternity was founded in 1986, and has used the trademark for its name in commerce since at least as early as 1988 and the acronym DLP trademark since 2001, according to its complaint in Oregon federal court. The fraternity currently has thirty chapters located across the U.S. and Canada.
In 2005 a group of unaffiliated gay students at UC Santa Cruz attended a conference focusing on gay issues, where they were exposed to Delta Lambda Phi. The students then formed the defendant fraternity, Delta Lambda Psi at UC Santa Cruz that same year.
Shortly thereafter, Delta Lambda Psi began using its name and the acronym in the Santa Cruz area to promote and identify itself as a college social organization aimed at gay, bisexual, transgender, and progressive students. Although Delta Lambda Phi has chapters at several other California universities, it does not have a presence at UC Santa Cruz.
"Defendant's use of a name that differs by only a single letter from plaintiff's name has already caused many examples of actual confusion," the complaint says. "This confusion has been compounded by defendant's use of DLP to identify itself on Twitter, MySpace, and in its founding documents."
Delta Lambda Psi has also shown that it intends to expand its use of the infringing trademarks at other universities, by opening at least one new chapter at the University of Oregon in Eugene.
"This use and expansion has caused and will cause immediate and irreparable harm to plaintiff," the complaint says.
Delta Lambda Phi is seeking an injunction prohibiting Delta Lambda Psi from using the infringing trademarks or any others that are confusingly similar to the plaintiffs' trademarks in connection with its Greek social organization, as well as to indicate membership within its Greek social organization. It is also seeking damages, costs and attorneys' fees.

In the present internet marketing world, article marketing is considered as one of the most successful ways of driving traffic to any website. In an article marketing campaign, relevant articles are distributed to website owners, editors, publishers, throughout the Internet. The work of article distribution to the appropriate place is a tedious task that must be executed by experienced professionals of this field. These professionals first consider your targeted audience and then distribute your articles to the related, genuine publishers. This step is imperative to achieve pre-sold traffic that converts into customers.
Let us now talk about the affects of this marketing on page rank. As an extremely important aspect of internet marketing, article marketing campaigns ensure that your links will receive wide and thorough distribution across the Web with the support of efficient article submission and SEO services. In fact, it goes without saying that for this purpose, it is completely mandatory for you to join hands with a proficient article distribution service provider who has gained qualitative experience in this concept and allows unlimited article submission. In addition to this, the widest exposure for those valuable links nestled in your author's resource box should also be guaranteed. After all, those links are the base of generating quality traffic to your website.
Another significant requirement of any competent Internet marketing campaign is continuous processing. Similarly, with article marketing plan too, you have to make sure that your professionals are continually distributing your articles.

This chronic process will eventually result in increased number of links propelling a higher page rank for you. On the other hand, you must remember that better the relevancy and information your articles carry, the more publishers they will attract, assuring higher page ranks with leading search engines.
Search engines will love your website if it has its articles posted on popular article websites. They then consider you as a relevant source of information for their users. Therefore, a good number of back links can be obtained with heavy participation in article submission through a quality article distribution service. On publication of each of your article, a back link is obtained. Same can be done through reprinting of same articles. As you make efforts to build fresh, relevant links, your page rank with a search engine will develop exponentially. For this reason only, acquiring back linking to your website becomes important for your SEO services. The volume of the traffic a site receives gives a clear indication of the relevancy of the website on the Internet. If you are relevant and informative, nothing can impede you from gaining the top most positions on the SERPs.

An efficient article marketing plan ensures both much coveted SERPs and improved page ranks. In fact, in order to check the productivity of an internet marketing plan or creditability of a website, one must analyze the website "hits" and "sales conversions" before and after such campaigns.

Dinner Tonight: Asian-Inspired Corn, Avocado and Sesame Salsa Recipe
Healthy and delicious recipes from Serious Eats
I didn't mean to shake things up; I was just being resourceful. Here I was with a perfectly ripe avocado and not a lime to be found. When I usually face such draughts of product, I make do. But messing up the perfect duality of avocado and lime felt like a sin. I couldn't just let that avocado sit there and turn brown on me. It's hard enough finding ones that are ready to eat.
I did have some frozen corn. So into the depths of Google I went searching for some kind answer. I came out with this rather novel asian-inspired guacamole that replaced the acid of the limes with vinegar and added depth of flavor with toasted sesames seeds and sesame oil. It's certainly not a replacement for the perfection that is guacamole, but it is an interesting change. If I had to change anything, I would have left the sesame seeds out—they messed with the consistency of the creamy product. I think a toasted sesame oil would be perfect. Anyway, just like the Mexican standby it was eaten very quickly.
- 1-2 cups frozen corn, thawed
- 3 teaspoons sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 3/4 teaspoon hot chili paste
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and diced
- Salt and pepper
Quickly cook the corn in a skillet with about a teaspoon of the sesame oil over medium heat. When it slightly blackens, pull it off the heat and let cool.
Gently toss the rest of the ingredients together, adding the corn once it is cool. Season to taste with salt and pepper

For decades, the Italian isle of Capri has been known as a playground for the rich and famous…a resort even back in the days of the Roman Republic.
It's the same today we discovered when we stopped there on the cruise we took with many of our website viewers. Definitely fun people watching!
Designer shops line the sidewalks, but I think the real gem in Capri is the food. We had lunch at a charming restaurant that's nestled along the narrow winding sidewalks called La Capannina. I'm told many 'Hollywood' types dine there when in Capri. Everything was fabulous, but the pasta with artichokes was incredible.
I told the owner about my website and asked if I could share the recipe with all of you. To my delight, he said yes. I have it posted on my website goodtastewithtanji.com. We paired the pasta with a wonderful Greco di Tufo wine from Campania.

Bella offers quality in out-of-the-way location
Published 4:00 am, Thursday, September 3, 2009
One meal at Bella quieted my concerns about the restaurant's awkward location in a mall 7 miles off the freeway. Pretty plates countered the impersonal ambience of Clayton Valley Shopping Center, while gutsy food and a warmhearted waitress dissolved the melancholy born from my long drive.
I wouldn't have made the trip at all if I hadn't been duly impressed by owner Abdel Redouane's 2000 venture - Luna - also in Concord. Here he had set himself apart from the countless suburban Italian restaurants by enforcing standards learned from a long cooking career in Rome, Belgium and San Francisco.

Redouane, who is Moroccan, has since raised the standards in this town, one he had never visited before stumbling upon Luna's location.
Bella, at its best, exemplifies the robust flavors of Italy. Clean-tasting veal saltimbocca ($17.95) is fork-tender and not too rich, topped with delicately crisped prosciutto. A fish special of whole roasted branzino ($18.95) is enlivened with lemon, olives and cherry tomatoes. Perhaps the best example of Redouane's classic-modern style is the lasagna ($14.95), a tower of thin, homemade pasta sheets and delicate meat sauce with just a little cheese, the tender pasta providing a rich mouthfeel. Creamy pesto, bechamel and red sauces surround the lasagna, with squirts of reduced spiced balsamic and basil oil adding flair.
Many main courses, however, were less successful. The broth in the cioppino ($17.95) lacked depth, while specials of gnocchi ($14.95) and lobster ravioli ($16.95) were heavy. A cherry port sauce was too sweet for the beef (filet mignon, $20.95), and the seafood risotto ($17.95), while full of tender prawns, salmon and mussels, also contained grit. I would be happy if Redouane skipped the fried sweet potatoes garnishing nearly every dish. Only one of my four visits found them crisp.
Our appetizers, however, were consistently good. Carpaccio ($9.95) is served under lively greens, and a simple plate of olives ($3.50) proves deeply satisfying with shavings of Asiago and pool of balsamic-spiked olive oil - a great dip for Bella's warm, crusty bread. A dramatic roasted beet salad ($8.95) with oranges, goat cheese, and arugula is fresh and balanced. A lush bowl of carrot soup ($4.50) comes lightly scented with ginger and fennel, and the minestrone ($4.50) is both straightforward and hearty. Bruschetta, lightly broiled with cheese, are crunchy and garlicky - try the fungi (wild mushroom, $6.95) or pomodoro (tomato, $5.95).
Bella's simple, square dining room is handsome, with banquettes on two sides, two elevated tables and lively Italian posters that produce a bistrolike effect. Lightweight silverware and paper place mats are too casual for the chandelier-lit room, but black cloth napkins add a little class. And the outdoor patio is perfect for lunch or summer dinner. Located in the far corner of the sprawling mall, it feels like an oasis.
The wine list, evenly divided between California and Italy, is small, with twice as many bottles under $50 than over.
Desserts are very good, if not particularly original - such as a pear tartlet ($6.50) and molten chocolate cake ($6.50), both painted with the same raspberry and custard sauces. Ricotta cheesecake ($6) was marred by a raw flour taste.
It's a long parade of stoplights to Bella Ristorante, but if you know what to order, it's well worth it.

Ireland 6 was spent in County Sligo, which is Yeats country. the scenery was absolutely gorgeous: mountains and hills, fields and valleys, waterfalls, and islands, including the famous Lake Isle of Innisfree. Our visit was wonderfully punctuated with Yeats poetry read aloud by our guide, Damien. A huge dinner overlooking the lake – what a day.
The APM baseball cap made it to the waterfalls, of course:
But the next day, arriving in Dublin to sing for the American ambassador to Ireland, Dan Rooney, for the first of his two 4th of July parties (this one on the 3rd). After some vetting we entered the palatial grounds for a sound-check with the microphones and sound system. Then we had to wait around and eat and drink until the ceremonies began (it was a difficult task, but…).
After the Irish and American flags were presented by Color Guards and the anthems sung, Ambassador Rooney, formerly the owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers, spoke briefly. He looks frail but the Irish told us he's been an absolutely great Ambassador, visiting as many areas of the country as he has been able to in one year, meeting many people and making many appearances.
Here's a picture of us singing for the former Mayor and his wife of Westport, Ireland:
After a wonderful Navy jazz quintet performed, we sang America the Beautiful and then 4 other American songs: Ev'ry time I Feel the Spirit, Over the Rainbow, Blue Skies, and Ride the Chariot. And then we ate and drank some more, and had lovely conversations with Irish, including the mayor of one town who invited us back for St. Patrick's Day. And of course we had our picture taken with Ambassador Rooney.
A lovely day, as the Irish say!
We all met the Ambassador

Moff Tiann Jerjerrod is an Imperial Moff in the Galactic Empire and the commander of the second Death Star. He appears in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi as a major antagonist.
He was portrayed by Michael Pennington.
He is in charge of overseeing the construction of the second Death Star. However, Darth Vader arrived and told him that Emperor Palpatine was displeased with his apparent lack of progress in completing the Death Star on schedule, leading to Palpatine coming over to personally oversee the final construction of the Death Star. When he heard that the Emperor was coming, Jerjerrod told Vader that he would double their efforts.
He was killed when Lando blew up the Death Star. A scene shown only in the book depicts Jerjerrod being ordered by Palpatine to blow up Endor in the event that the Rebels managed to knock out the Shield generator. Jerjerrod was reluctant to do so, noting how many of the Empire's troops were still on the Moon but nevertheless prepared to do so. However, the Death Star is destroyed before Jerjerrod can do so.
- The Expanded Universe portrays Jerjerrod a bit differently than the movies, as a Moff rather than a commander, although it makes no attempt to ret-con his death as it does with other characters such as Boba Fett.
- Jerjerrod is the last character to die in the course of the six movies, outlasting Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader.
- Many scenes featuring Jerjerrod were ultimately cut in the final release of the film, though some of them were included in later releases of the movie as well as made canon by Expanded Universe material such as the novelization.
- In one deleted scene, it is revealed that Jerjerrod has standards when Palpatine orders him to destroy the Endor moon if the rebels destroy the shield generator. Jerjerrod responds by saying that there are several battalions of Stormtroopers on the moon. Palpatine replies with "You WILL destroy it!". Jerjerrod is ultimately to intimidated to rebel and reluctantly accepts the order, but ultimately his hesitation buys to fire buys enough time for the Lando and Wedge to destroy the shield generator.

Red tape is strangling closings on homes
Mortgage firms' increased scrutiny is killing deals, delaying the sales process
Published 5:30 am, Thursday, July 9, 2009
The days of being able to sign a contract on a house and then pick up the keys in a matter of weeks — or even days — are fading.
From start to finish, the time it takes to close a home has gone from less than 30 days to upward of 45, according to real estate brokers, who blame the delays on more rigid mortgage standards and new rules governing appraisals.
"The whole process is being more scrutinized by the mortgage companies. Attorneys are reviewing closing documents; surveys are being looked at in more detail; everything along the process is being more carefully watched. It's not this feverish pace we experienced a year ago," said Julie Greenwood of Greenwood King Properties.

On May 11, real estate agent Karen Carlton wrote a contract on a condominium in The Woodlands for her client — a single woman with good credit and a 20 percent down payment.
Almost two months later, the sale still hasn't closed.
Carlton said it's been held back because of extra scrutiny from the lender, as the property is a condo, and some information on the appraisal had to be corrected.
A domino effect
"We should have been there the 20th of June if everything would have moved smoothly," she said. "But it has not."
For some, the delays are causing a troubling domino effect. Carlton's condo buyer needs to move out of the home she's in now because it's already sold. And the couple she sold it to needs to move soon, too, because they're in the same predicament, Carlton said.
New regulations are causing some transactions to be called off altogether.
A buyer under contract on a house near the medical center priced at $565,000 walked away from the deal when an appraiser valued the property for almost $100,000 less than what the buyer agreed to pay.
"The deal fell out two days before closing," said Realtor Ed Wolff who was representing the seller.
The delays primarily are the result of changes in the appraisal industry that went into effect May 1, said Vicki Fullerton, who chairs the board of the Houston Association of Realtors. A lawsuit filed by New York's attorney general over inflated home valuations resulted in a settlement that took the ordering of appraisals out of the hands of real estate brokers, loan officers and mortgage brokers.
The change falls under the new Home Valuation Code of Conduct, the result of an agreement among Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the New York state attorney general to enhance the independence and accuracy of the appraisal process. It's having widespread impact because it applies to lenders that sell single-family mortgage loans to the government-sponsored entities.
Some properties are being undervalued because appraisal management companies who now handle much of the appraisal business are in some cases hiring inexperienced appraisers who aren't familiar with the neighborhoods where homes are being valued, said Fullerton.
"It's causing great delays and added expenses for the consumers," she said.
Another new set of guidelines that go into effect July 30 have the potential to delay closings even more.
The Federal Reserve has revised disclosure requirements for mortgages that say a lender must wait seven business days after providing estimates of loan costs before closing a loan. Lenders must also wait an additional three business days after providing new disclosures with a revised annual percentage rate if one is needed.
"A lot of these things get put in place to protect the consumer," said David Jackson, branch manager at Flagstone Lending Group in Houston. "It just makes everyone realize in the real estate industry it may take a little bit longer to make a transaction happen."

Spent our last night in Vienna out on the town. Met up with our previous drummer (who lives here now), reminisced about old times, drank too much beer & got locked in the palace gardens in the dark.
We ended the night at a "Würstelstand" (translation: sausage stand) outside the opera house. Ate some "Käsekrainer" cheese-filled hotdogs (best drunk food ever?) under an old statue and said our final farewell to Austria. Till next year, that is!

CITY ROOM; Child Star of '40s Ads for Sofa Beds Is Pulling Out a New Line
By JAMES BARRON
Published: June 12, 2012
-She did the demonstration in the front hall, where a hunter's trophy - a large antlered head mounted on a square of dark wood - once stared down from a landing above the stairs. Surely that animal would have recognized her as the girl from the sofa bed commercials of the 1940s. And the 1950s. And the 1960s.
-But by the time Bernadette Castro's father bought this Long Island mansion in the 1960s and brought in 15 Castro Convertibles, somebody had taken the animal head with the antlers away. The previous owner had been an air-conditioner tycoon, and all but one of his through-the-window machines had also disappeared.
The Castro Convertible that Ms. Castro, 67, pulled open was not one of the old ones. This was a convertible ottoman that opens into a single bed. She is reviving the brand that she made famous as a child on television, but without its own retail stores. She sold the original company in the 1990s, but the buyer has since gone out of business.
Now she is selling on the Internet and - where else? - on television, specifically on the Home Shopping Network, which did not exist when her father called Channel 5 and said he wanted to put a commercial on the air.
That was in the late 1940s, when television was tiny. There were fewer than 200,000 sets in the New York area at a time when newspaper circulation was setting records year after year. Television screens were tiny, too. Ms. Castro remembers watching a set so small, you could buy a giant magnifying glass to place over the screen.
It was in a place far different from this, with its 25 rooms and 13 bathrooms, give or take a few. ''We lived in a two-family house in the Bronx, around the Throgs Neck Bridge,'' she said, ''and my father had invented the dual-purpose sofa the way we know it today. The cement bench goes back to King Tut. My father got the idea when a woman brought in davenports. He said, 'I can make this beautiful, but I have to take out the bed.' She said, 'No, no, no.'''
And the television commercials?
-''This, I'm telling you secondhand,'' she said.
She was about 4 and it was a Sunday afternoon in the Bronx. ''I'm lying down on a Castro Convertible, watching TV,'' she said. ''My parents walked in and said, 'Who opened this? Did you open this?' It hadn't been open the last time they were in the room. Then my dad looked at me and said, 'Honey, did you open this?'''
Her father, Bernard, shooed her off the sofa, closed it and told her to open it. And she did.
He realized that television was the perfect medium to show that. But Ms. Castro remembers hearing that officials at Channel 5 were puzzled as to how they could broadcast a local commercial over and over. ''They finally said, 'Mr. Castro, go make a film, 16 millimeter. You bring it to us, we'll set it up.'''
-Some details have faded in her memory - where they filmed the commercial, for example. This much is certain: She did not go to Hollywood. ''I believe we filmed it in one of our showrooms,'' she said.
-But she acted like a star, demanding a star's perk: nail polish. This was noticed. ''Dorothy Kilgallen'' - a sharp-tongued celebrity columnist with The New York Journal American newspaper - ''wrote, 'Shame on you, you hired a midget. It's obvious from the nail polish that's not a real child.'''
-Ms. Castro said her father was thrilled with the attention, just as he was thrilled when Milton Berle and Jackie Gleason called, wanting to parody the commercials on their comedy shows. ''They said, 'Can we go out and hire a look-alike?''' she said. ''My father was so thrilled, he said yes. I remember watching it and thinking, 'Darn, I wish I were there.'''
-He had bought 13 weeks of commercials. ''In the 12th week, he said, 'This isn't working,''' she recalled. ''The 13th week, women started coming in and said, 'We want to see what the child opened.' And I became the most televised child in America.'' The commercial was shown some 40,000 times in various forms. It was one of the first local advertisements on television in New York. Some say it was the first to feature a child.
-She went on to record as a singer in the 1960s, and in 1994 she ran unsuccessfully as a Republican against Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. (She later agreed to pay a $22,000 fine for neglecting to file reports for $352,810 that she lent her campaign shortly before the election.) Gov. George E. Pataki named her commissioner of parks, recreation and historic preservation in 1995.
But the memories of those commercials never faded to black.
-''When I'd be at a state park and somebody would walk up with a big smile,'' she said, ''I could finish their sentence: 'Yep, I'm the little girl.' I was part of their life.''
This is a more complete version of the story than the one that appeared in print.

1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint, a photo by scurvy_knaves on Flickr.
Text by Scurvy Knaves - "Last summer during the Allure of the Automobile exhibition, Portland Art Museum helped organize a "side-show" that was held on the weekends. It was called Cars in the Park. The day of Italian Cars was probably the best. There were many beautiful cars on display that day, some truly rare and amazing, not to mention all those arrogant Ferraris. But in the end Alfas were my favorites."

So who wouldn't want to see a comedy starring Jack Black, Steve Martin and Owen Wilson that's based on a best-selling book?
Apparently everybody.
The bird-watching comedy "The Big Year" has been out less than four weeks, and it already qualifies as one of the year's biggest flops. With an estimated $41 million production budget, it has earned a beyond-paltry $7 million since its Oct. 14 release.
How bad is it? Consider these factoids:
1. It moved to second run theaters last week, in only its third week of release, which is unprecedented for a big-studio release with three marketable names.
2. Its opening weekend box-office take ($3.2 million) was bad enough to crack one of industry tracker BoxOfficeMojo's all-time worst lists. It landed at No. 29 on the site's list of worst-performing opening weekends for movies that opened on more than 2,000 screens nationwide.
3. The only mainstream release to do worse this year was "Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star," which earned a scant $1.5 million over Labor Day weekend. But it had no stars, a $10 million budget and a marketing campaign that tried to avoid talking about the movie itself, which was seen as an admission of how bad it was (Tomatometer rating: ZERO!)
BoxOfficeMojo analyst Ray Subers called "The Big Year" "a big disaster." And it wasn't necessarily a disaster anyone saw coming, since director David Frankel had a couple of certified hits on his resume — "Marley and Me" and "The Devil Wears Prada."
None of this gives me any pleasure, since I like all three co-stars, Martin especially. So what happened, exactly?
Analyzing its opening weekend, Subers wrote:
"The Big Year" received a half-hearted, late-to-the-game marketing effort from distributor 20th Century Fox that failed to identify a premise beyond the fact that the three lead characters were all going through some kind of personal crisis. It's understandable that the potentially boring bird-watching elements were largely sidelined in the campaign, though it's hard to imagine the movie doing much worse if they had been incorporated.
Tepid reviews didn't help. "The Big Year" scored a 40 on the Tomatometer, which reached this consensus: "Though made with care and affection for its characters, 'The Big Year' plods along, rarely reaching any comedic heights."
Yes, it's a real head-scratcher. Who knew that there was no audience for a comedy about competitive bird watching?

Pope angered by VIP banquet held during canonization ceremony
May 23, 2014
Pope Francis was angry when he learned that a Vatican agency had organized an expensive VIP dinner during the canonization ceremonies for Popes John XXIII and John Paul II, the Catholic News Agency (CNA) has reported.
About 150 guests ate a "sumptuous" meal on a veranda of the building that houses the Vatican's Prefecture for Economic Affairs. The banquet—with a cost that reportedly exceeded $25,000— ran counter to the Pope's frequent admonitions that the Church should embrace the virtue of poverty.
"I can't reveal what he said," said Cardinal Giuseppe Versaldi, the head of the Prefectures for Economic affairs, "and I can only say that he was not pleased."
Cardinal Versaldi, who was not present at the banquet, said that he was not aware the event was taking place. "Like many of you, I was also surprised and outraged by this," he said. The cardinal said that he is now investigating how the event was organized.

Good, that's what we need in our shepherds: a bit of righteous anger. Christ didn't shrink from overturning the tables of the moneychangers when they got too close to the temple, nor should our bishops and popes hesitate to confront all the corruption in the church and among those who profess to be a part of it.

Diagnosing an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is often a two-stage process. The first stage involves general developmental screening during regular well-child checkups with a pediatrician. Children who show some developmental problems during a checkup are referred for additional evaluation. The second stage involves a thorough evaluation by a team of doctors with a wide range of specialties. After further evaluation, a child may be diagnosed as having ASD or another developmental disorder.
Children with ASD can typically be diagnosed by age 2, though recent research suggests that some screening tests can be helpful at as early as 18 months or younger. Many people—including pediatricians, teachers, and parents—may minimize signs of ASD at first, believing that children will "catch up" with their peers. While you may be concerned about labeling your child with ASD, the earlier the disorder is diagnosed, the sooner specific interventions may begin. Early intervention can reduce or prevent the more severe disabilities associated with ASD. Early intervention may also improve your child's IQ, language, and everyday functional skills.
As recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, a regular well-child checkup should include a developmental screening test, with specific ASD screening at 18 and 24 months. Screening for ASD is not the same as diagnosing ASD. Screening instruments are used as a first step to determine whether a child needs more testing. If your pediatrician does not routinely screen your child for ASD, please insist that it be done.
Types of ASD screening instruments
Often the pediatrician will ask parents questions about the child's symptoms to determine screening for ASD. Other screening instruments combine information from parents with the doctor's own observations of the child. Examples of screening instruments include:
- Checklist of Autism in Toddlers (CHAT)
- Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT)
- Screening Tool for Autism in Two-Year-Olds (STAT)
- Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ)
- Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales (CSBS).
To screen for mild ASD in older children, the doctor may rely on different screening instruments, such as:
- Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ)
- Australian Scale for Asperger's Syndrome (ASAS)
- Childhood Asperger Syndrome Test (CAST).
Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation
The second stage of diagnosis must be thorough in order to find whether other conditions may be causing your child's symptoms.
A team that includes a psychologist, a neurologist, a psychiatrist, a speech therapist, or other professionals experienced in diagnosing ASD may do this evaluation. The evaluation may assess the child's thinking skills, language level, and adaptive behavior (age-appropriate skills needed to complete daily activities independently, such as eating and dressing).
Because ASD is a complex disorder that sometimes coexists with other syndromes or learning disorders, the comprehensive evaluation may include brain imaging and gene tests, along with in-depth memory, problem solving, and language testing. Children with any delayed development should also get a hearing test as part of the comprehensive evaluation.
Although children can lose their hearing along with developing ASD, common ASD symptoms (such as not turning to face a person while calling their name) can also make it seem that children cannot hear when in fact they can. If a child is not responding to speech, especially to his or her name, it's important for the doctor to test whether a child has hearing loss.
The evaluation process is a good time for parents and caregivers to ask questions and get advice from the entire evaluation team. The outcome of the evaluation will assist in devising a plan for treatment and interventions to help your child.

Olympic Speedskating 2014: No Explanation for US Disappearance in SochiFebruary 13, 2014
America has disappeared from the world of speedskating.
At least that's how it looks in Sochi.
Brittany Bowe went into Thursday's 1,000-meter event as the world-record holder. She came out an eighth-place finisher, badly beaten and never really in contention for the gold medal, which was surprisingly taken by China's Hong Zhang.
Not surprisingly, two Dutch skaters, Ireen Wurst and Margot Boer, won silver and bronze. The Dutch have won 12 speedskating medals already in these Games. If we're keeping score, it's 12-0 Netherlands over the U.S., the one-time world power.
A day before, the USA's Shani Davis was only eighth in the 1,000, an event he was hoping to win for a third straight time. In the men's 500, Davis' 24th-place finish was the best the Americans could do.
"I honestly couldn't tell you what it was," Davis said (via The New York Times). "There's no excuse. Nothing physically went wrong."
That seems to be the consensus: No excuse, no good explanation.
Not that people aren't reaching to find explanations. Three sources told the the Wall Street Journal that the high-tech Under Armour suits are partially to blame.
"I would like to think that it's not the suit," Davis said. "I would never blame the suit. I'd much rather blame myself. I just wasn't able to do it today, but other people were."
Regardless, these desultory performances are alarming for a winter sport where the U.S. used to assume it would gather up medals and put up flag-waving performances.
Now, Dutch men and women have become an army in orange who are so full of confidence that they might as well congratulate themselves before they even get on the ice.
Once upon a time that was the U.S., a speedskating power. Can you remember?
American women won the 500 five times between 1972 and 1994. Stars were made. Bonnie Blair, Sheila Young, Anne Henning. As recently as the Salt Lake City Games, Chris Witty and Jennifer Rodriguez were first and third in the 1,000.
On the men's side, Eric Heiden is still famous for his Olympics in 1980, when he won an unprecedented five gold medals. Heiden, who is the USA team doctor now, was followed by the Dan Jansen era, giving American fans the overwhelming storyline for three Olympics.
It seemed Jansen, who set eight world records during his career, was always heading into the Olympics as a gold-medal favorite in the 500 and 1,000, always having emotional traumas or unlikely falls. He had one Olympic Games when he was speaking over the phone to his sister who was dying of cancer.
In his last-ever Olympic event, Jansen pulled out a goosebump-raising win in the 1,000 in the 1994 Lillehamer Games after he fell in his signature 500-meter event and was reduced to tears.
The crowd was wild for the young man who had raised the profile of the sport, and Norwegian fans were waving American flags for Jansen.
Jansen's torch eventually was passed to Shani Davis and Chad Hedrick. Hedrick captured three medals in Turin in 2006, winning gold in the 5,000, silver in the 10,000 and bronze in the 1,500. Davis, who became the first African-American Winter Olympian, won gold in the 1,000 at Turin in 2006 and silver in the 1,500. Four years later in Vancouver he replicated those results.
But that was then. When the U.S. had innovative skaters.
You can search far and wide and won't find a reason that no longer is the case. The state-of-the-art facility that skaters now benefit from, built in Salt Lake City for the 2002 Olympics, should have put skaters in a position to be better than ever.
Instead, speedskating is now all about the Dutch, the Canadians, Chinese and Koreans.
There were high hopes for the U.S. in Sochi. Maybe Davis would find magic in his two favorite events, the 1,000 and 1,500. Bowe, with her world record earned just a month ago, and teammate Heather Richardson, who won a gold medal at the 2013 World Championships, certainly could find their way to a medal of some sort.
But it hasn't happened. Not yet.
So far, these Olympics have been a disastrous blank for U.S. skaters.
There should be no excuses.
Maybe Davis can salvage something from these Games in the 1,500—but that will seem as if it's too little, too late. The U.S. has just disappeared from the speedskating radar, and there is no good reason.

Pflugerville seventh-grader wins 'Chopped Junior' cooking show
Not many 12-year-olds can say they've been on television, and even less can say they've competed on a reality TV show. Pflugerville's Caroline Coleman has done both — and came home victorious.
Mayor Pro Tem Omar Peña declared Oct. 11 as "Caroline Coleman Day" in Pflugerville after the young chef won an episode of the Food Network's "Chopped Junior" culinary competition show.
The Kelly Lane Middle School seventh-grader was brought to the podium at the Oct. 11 Pflugerville City Council meeting and Peña asked her about the experience. Caroline said she couldn't believe she was really competing on the show. "We got there and it was exactly like on TV, just 10 times smaller," she said. "It was really fun."
Peña said the city council was excited to learn Pflugerville would be mentioned in a nationally televised show. He said food competition shows are tough and praised Caroline for her work.
"We're delighted that someone in our community would be so motivated and thrilled to go up and do something like that," he said.
The show filmed for four days in New York City in May and the episode aired on Sept. 27.
Despite numerous cameras pointing at her, Caroline said she kept her cool and had fun, even if the bright lights in her eyes made her have to drink a lot of water.
"The experience was one of the best. I didn't think it would be like that because it was a reality show, but it was really awesome," she said. "When I heard that (I won) I was like, 'Whoa. Is this real?' "
Caroline competed against three other young chefs with one eliminated after every round of competition. Judges eliminated the first competitor due to an appetizer, and the next competitor was eliminated after judges tried the entrée. Finally, after the dessert tasting, Caroline was crowned the winner.
Caroline said her fellow kid chefs were pretty awesome. "I got to be close friends with all of them," she said.
Jennifer Coleman, Caroline's mother and librarian at Murchison Elementary, said the trip was Caroline's first time in New York. Caroline's aunt Jocelyn Brandt and her dad Brett Coleman, Pflugerville Middle School assistant principal, accompanied the budding chef on her trip.
"It was also a few days before her 12th birthday, so Aunt Jocelyn surprised her with tickets to 'Wicked,' which they didn't tell her about till Saturday when they had wrapped everything," Jennifer Coleman said. "So she had quite the amazing (trip)."
Jennifer Coleman said the show's staff and judges liked Caroline because of her down-to-earth personality. "She really talked about Pflugerville a lot when she was there," she said. "She was so proud to represent our little town."
Caroline has big plans for her culinary future. After graduating high school, she plans to move to New York and attend the Culinary Institute of America. She said that could follow with opening restaurants in Texas and then moving back to New York to open even more restaurants.

This is a good and gentle product. The cream is really like an emulsion and gets obsorbed pretty , so it could be used as day and night cream. I used it initially as a night cream and didnt find it soo helpful, so started using it for morning and night. This is my second step of skincare routine after applying some face serum. As u spread the emulsion you can see small white patches coming off - i guess this is the exfoliation that it is performing to removing the dead skin. So dont worry about it, i cleansed my face thoroughly , did an air dry and even then observed it. However it could really control my breakouts so well. Its a good gentle product but i would look for some thing else that can work on my acne scars and also prevent my acne zits formation.

My dermatologist recommended the acne care range from Avene.
I have recently started using this one and already seeing some positive results: smoother skin, less pimples...
I am using it along with the Cleanance gel as a cleanser and Cleanance mask once in a week.
I finally found my perfect ritual to manage my acne prone skin !!

"Ho ho ho' Rise and shine my deary. Its Christmas eve."
"What so merry about this Christmas?"
Kria snorted as she tried to grab back the pillow which Sharon took from her to wake her up.
"Everything is merry about the Christmas except for u. Now come on wipe that sulk away or u won't receive any gift from St. Nicholas babes."
Sharon winked leaving a highly annoyed Kria behind her. Kria willed herself out of the bed so that she could begin the day. She had become this fussy old lady who cribbed at any occasion. She hated this but just couldn't help it.
What had happened to her? - she often thought.
And the next second she knew the answer - Reyansh Singhania happened to her.
God - how she hated him'
But who was she kidding - every freaking thing reminded her of him and she felt so embittered about it.
Her fashion house - The Opulent - had been his making.
He was the mastermind behind the marketing of the clothing range she had launched.
He was the sole reason that she had such a competent staff.
So how the hell was she supposed to just forget about him?
It had been 5 years and she still wasn't over that wretched existence. She still would mope about him. They were 2 strong headed individuals - so when they announced their love in public everyone was wary. Their close friends pointed it out to them but they believed they could work it out but in the end it didn't. When their interests started clashing neither of them relented and then it ended.
She just wished that he wasn't having an easy life. If she couldn't then he didn't have any right to.
She was so right about it - Reyansh Singhania himself wasn't having an easy life and he was wishing the same for her.
Rey just banged the file shut. He was hell frustrated. It was Christmas and he was reminded about her as he was going through the events his company was gonna organize on the occasion of Christmas. He owned an Event Management Company - not just any - the leading one which was spread worldwide. Everyone appreciated how he had single-handedly did everything but he knew better.
The maneuver of his success was someone else.
It wasn't his idea to include festivities in the prospectus.
Neither it was his plan to enroll people from all walks of life to garner the ethical applaud.
Nor it was his design to make a team just responsible to authenticate the festive celebration.
And he hated this feeling that he owed it to her and that she still was and will remain an integral part of his life.
"Seriously Shar... Mistletoes???"
Kria looked at her best friend as if she was an alien. Sharon had come to decorate her house and had stayed overnight for the work. She didn't want her friend to skip the occasion so she hadtaken upon the job to get her all set for the Christmas. Kria couldn't believe that the decoration was gonna include a bunch of mistletoes and this irked her. Mistletoes had memories attached which made her all the more fuss about the Christmas.
"Stop giving me the looks and just help me with the decorations."
Sharon stated ignoring her friend's snorting.
"U have gotta be kidding me."
Rey said as he looked flabbergasted over the surroundings. This time the church had chosen a specific decorating item for the festival as the theme - Mistletoes and the entire Town Square was elegantly decorated using it. It opened his old wounds.
Kissing under the Mistletoe - a ritual which ensures a long happy life for the couple. They had shared their first kiss under it. It was beautiful and magical - a reminiscence but now a reason for Christmas aversion.
Rey shook himself out of the memory flashes and indulged himself in the atmosphere that bloomed around him.
Kria brushed the memory away and started putting the trinkets over the tree.
Everyone gathered around the town square for the celebration. The place was beautifully lit. A big mistletoe bush was held over in the center while everyone was in the Christmas mood. Kria walked amongst the crowd looking for Sharon and bumped into someone. As she faced him she got the shock of life - Rey was standing there in front of her. She was flabbergasted but couldn't help noticing the manly features that had enhanced over the 5 years. He had grown muscular but still maintained the aura. The flicks that covered his forehead gave him an appealing look. The chest that showed off from the top of the shirt invited her. She hated how he was still able to just dazzle her away.
As Rey moved in the crowd he bumped into someone rather some girl to say. As he faced her he stood rooted there at the spot. Kria Ghai stood in front of him looking as radiant as ever in that red silky flawlessly cut dress that reached till her knees. She was wearing a red and white fur coat with the santa hat on that made her look like a cute yet sexy santa. The coat was open and he was able to see how the dress complimented her curves and appealed him. Those straight raven black locks made her look more delectable. Rey chided him out of his reverie irritated over how his eyes were treating themselves.
"How are u?"
Both asked at the same time as the silence was getting awkward for them. They looked at each other in disbelief. Rey gestured her to speak.
"I am fine. U?"
"Me too. Hows business?"
"Great. We r the leading fashion house. U?"
"Same here."
The silence returned. They couldn't just walk away after being aware of the other's presence. Soon the clock struck 12 indicating the arrival of the day. Everyone rejoiced and wished each other with zeal and enthusiasm. Soon it was announced that according to the Christmas tradition people standing under the mistletoe had to kiss. The spotlights started flashing over the couples standing under it and before either of them could comprehend anything a spotlight was focused on them. They never realized that they were standing in the center and before they could move everybody had turned their attention towards them. They looked at each other clearly awkward due to the situation coz nevertheless they had to do it. Rey hesitantly moved his hand to hold her waist. Kria wasn't able to meet his eyes and was constantly avoiding his gaze. Rey held her close and coyly she looked in those hazel pair of eyes that had charmed her always and didn't fail to do so this time too. Rey cupped her face by his other hand and slowly brought her face closer to his and slowly their lips met.
It was a soft kiss through which their emotions penetrated. It was a gentle and a soothing one mixed with the soft caress and concern that had once lived in them and now was locked in some corner. As they broke the kiss and stared in each other's eyes they found the same emotions that defined them 5 years back and now hovered over them. Both of them realized what it meant and decided to start over. They didn't need words. They understood the other's heart. As Kria took hold of his hand Rey grasped hers firmly reciprocating the gesture and Kria guided him to her place. As they got inside Rey quickly gathered her to give a heated kiss as they moved inside. As Rey parted away both of them mumbled together.
They laughed as they spoke out loud and then kissed each other slowly savoring each moment. Rey spoke then.
"So'. Under the Mistletoe?"
"Definitely under the Mistletoe."
Kria answered chuckling as they realized that they were again standing under the bush.
Kria shifted in her sleep as her phone buzzed. She adjusted not disturbing Rey as she took the call.
"Merry Christmas."
Sharon chirped.
"Merry Christmas to u too."
"Looks like St. Nicholas gave u ur Christmas present."
"Yes babes. Nicholas definitely did give me my present."
Kria chuckled before switching off the phone.
"Whose Nicholas?"
Rey asked sleepily as he woke up while Kria was talking.
"My secret Santa."
Kria answered winking before taking his lips into hers.
"So will he give me a present too?"
Rey asked as Kria laid across his chest facing him.
"Ask and see."
"Okay then'. So will someone do the honor of gracing my life forever and ever?"
Rey slowly asked gauging her expression.
"Well' that someone can do the honor if'."
Kria said slowly as she moved towards his ear.
Rey asked.
"If that someone is promised to be kissed under the Mistletoe always on the Christmas Eve."
"Well that can be done."
Rey twitched his nose before taking Kria into a kiss to mark the promise.
