By Gilles Castonguay MILAN (Reuters) - Pity the Alfa Romeo. Despite its status as an icon of Italian style and speed, its sales are mediocre, it struggles to exceed a one percent market share in its main European market, and it is losing money. Even though it has had the culture of motor-racing coursing through its valves and pistons since its inception nearly a century ago, years of poor-quality parts and service have deprived it of the premium status enjoyed by Volkswagen's Audi and BMW. "While it tries to pitch itself as a premium brand, it doesn't quite make it," said Jonathan Pusket, an analyst at J.D. Power. When the Fiat group, best known as a maker of cheap, small cars, bought Alfa in 1986, its factories were empty of ideas, with no investment in technology or product development. Sergio Marchionne, Fiat's chief executive, last year told analysts Alfa "is the hardest asset that we have that we have to work (on)". Now rising to that challenge is Luc
As an AdSense publisher, you've probably put a lot of effort into making your website the best it can be -- optimizing your ads, building good content, and driving high quality visits. But there's one crucial step left: to see just how effective these things are. How many visitors are you getting each day? What pages are they visiting? Where do they come from, and which keywords brought them to your site -- both from pay-per-click efforts and from natural search?Many website owners push their site live, and then leave it at that, remaining in the dark about all these questions. Google Analytics can enlighten you. We think it's much more fun to have the answers to these burning questions, and that you owe it to yourself to know for sure. After all, this is the payoff for all the hard work that's gone into creating your site. When you launch or make a change to it, there's that initial excitement of wondering who's going to check it out. And Google Analytics can help you with all of this
Larry Cox, executive director of Amnesty International USA, issued the following remarks in response to today's sentencing of Jose Padilla to 17 years and 4 months for terrorism conspiracy charges:"While the Bush administration hailed Jose Padilla's conviction as a victory in the 'war on terror,' (sic) Mr. Padilla was denied his fundamental rights. Regardless of the verdict, accountability for Mr. Padilla's three and a half years of detention without charge or trial and allegations of torture and ill-treatment still have not been addressed."Amnesty International believes that there are troubling questions surrounding the fairness of Mr. Padilla's trial including the presumption of innocence, the right to a speedy trial and the defendant's effective ability to assist in his defense.Rubbish...

Kiehl's Creme de CorpsLightweight SPF 30$26.00Available at: nordstrom.comI know I'm supposed to wear sunscreen all over my body everyday. I know that the décolletage and hands are among the first places to show signs of aging and are prone to developing pre-cancerous growths because they are so often exposed to sun. I've seen the huge cosmetic difference sunscreen makes, thanks to a solid 4 years of wearing face cream with SPF daily. So why don't I wear full-body sunscreen everyday?Two reasons. First, I'm lazy and slathering on a layer of sunscreen over a layer of lotion is a lot of effort first thing in the morning. Second, I love luxurious, decadent body lotions and ruining the aesthetics of applying a rich body lotion by adding a layer of utilitarian sunscreen is painful. But, that's all in the past now. I have found the ultimate pairing of luxe body lotion and SPF protection in the new Kiehl's Creme de Corps Lightweight Lotion with SPF 30. This fabulous new offering from the high-

Davines "Momo" Anti-Frizz Fluid$15.99Available at: Drugstore.comMy hair has issues. Big, fluffy, frizzy issues. It wasn't always this way. In high school I had waist-length, super straight hair the color of spun gold. By my early 20s I developed a funny wave in my hair, which my doctor assured me was the result of natural hormonal fluctuations. Yes, I was so disturbed by my suddenly curly hair that I consulted my doctor. It didn't end there. In the spring of 2005, in a fit of anti-SoCal rage, I dyed my naturally golden locks a deep auburn. Three years and four hair colors later, my curls have turned to uber-damaged kinks that frizz if you so much as look at them with a glass of water in your hand. Like I said, issues.I spend an inordinate amount of time looking for new anti-frizz treatments. I've tried dozens, but they have been band-aid solutions at best. Then I stumbled upon Davines. I'd like to pretend that my Davines purchase was completely pre-meditated. In reality, I was seduced
THE YEAR 2007 marks the 65th anniversary of a bold experiment: the launch of the Little Golden Books during the dark days of World War II. At a time when the literacy rate was not nearly as high as it is now - and privation was felt by nearly all - quality books for children would now be available at a price nearly everyone could afford (25 cents), and sold where ordinary people shopped. Golden Legacy is a lively history of a company, a line of books, the groundbreaking writers and artists who created them, the clever mavericks who marketed and sold them, and the cultural landscape that surrounded them.

As reported by The Beacon, last week’s Colorado papers reported that Matthew Murray, the young shooter who killed a bunch of churchgoers, had been raised according to the teachings of Chicago evangelist Bill Gothard.
Narrated Sayyidatna ‘Aisha (Rady Allahu Anha): Hind bin Utba bin Rabi’a came and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! By Allah, there was no family on the surface of the earth I liked to see in degradation more than I did your family, but today there is no family on the face of the earth whom I like to see honored more than yours.” Hind added, “Abu Sufyan is a miser. Is it sinful for me to feed our children of his property?” The Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alayhi wa Sallam) said, “There is no blame on you if you feed them (thereof) in a just and reasonable manner.

Mr. G brought home his mother's 37" screen tv and what a change from our old 21 incher. My COPS looked suh-weet on that big screen. These guys are way more handsome than I even realized!

One of my co-workers said she started drinking ginger tea because it helped with arthritis. I started drinking it and while it took a little getting used to the taste, it does work well. I only had a problem with my finger joints--my knuckles would be stiff in the morning--and it's made a big difference. It's weird but ginger always makes me think of my dad's mother who used to give us Ginger Snap cookies all the time. I used to think they were incredibly crunchy. Turns out she was feeding us the stale ones. I started looking through the Christmas toy books with the offspring so they can pick out their toys. Sure, it's early, BUT the

So, exactly how fabulous do you have to be for Chanel to rip off your designs? Just as fabulous as Jessica Kagan Cushman. Her now famous scrimshaw bracelets were unceremoniously knocked off by Chanel in early 2007. Although Chanel can typically do no wrong in the eyes of the fashion press, no one was letting them get away with stealing the witty, inventive designs of such a fresh new talent in jewelry making.Good thing Jessica doesn't give up easily, because the second season resin reproductions of her fabulous scrimshaw bracelets recently hit the stores and they are even better than her original designs. The combination of elegant, meticulously reproduced scrimshaw design and witty sayings such as "Does this bracelet make me look fat?" and "Are you a good witch or a bad witch?" make these little works of art absolutely irresistible. Style so inventive that even Chanel tried to copy it for a mere $130... truly fabulous.Jessica Kagan Cushman Bracelet$130.00Free ShippingAvailable at: Si

For some reason I LOVE solar decorations and I've always wanted some for my yard. The solar colored balls always seemed too expensive, so when I saw this solar pumpkin, I HAD TO HAVE IT. If you've never seen these sorts of decorations, you put them outside and they soak up the sun rays, then glow at night. I've never seen solar holiday decorations like this. (I can't wait to see what they have for Christmas now!) So needless to say, I was thrilled when it arrived. Lordy, it's bad enough that I'm eating vicariously through FHB, traveling vicariously through Mushy and cutting my grass with a lawn tractor vicariously through Bruno. Now I'm estatic about a damn plastic pumpkin. This is what happens when you don't have a life and you don't get enough sex. You get giddy over Halloween decorations. Wheeeeee!Anywho, back to the point of this post. (Yes, for a change, I have one.) I have thee most heartless offspring. I have found this poor little pumpkin glowing in the apple tree, the hyacint

Origins Modern Friction Scrub$36.00Available at: Macys.comMy recent post proclaiming my unending love for Origins Never a Dull Moment face scrub had been up and running for all of seven hours when I got a response from Stiletto Jungle Music Editor and Girl Talk panelist Pearl C. What prompted this quick response? Pearl's equally strong devotion to another Origins scrub: Modern Friction. Here's what Pearl had to say:"Okay, okay, so you love the Never a Dull Moment scrub. I get it. I know ya do. I think I bought it on YOUR rec actually! But... I have stumbled upon something better. I freaking LOVE this stuff," Pearl starts in a tone that, even via e-mail, sounds whipped into a beauty product-induced frenzy. A link to the amazing product in question follows, and Pearl continues her excited testimonial."Modern Friction. Holler. It's a scrub made of rice starch. This stuff is awesome. In fact, I was in love with something similar made by Dermalogica, but it was too pricey-- like, 50 bucks a

Origins Never a Dull Moment Scrub$23.50Available at: Macys.comI'm not sure at what point my formerly youthful, gleaming skin took a turn for the dull side. It was somewhere in my mid-twenties, after one too many law school classes and a few too many post-class alcoholic beverages. One day I just woke up with tired looking skin. Nothing dramatic; just a little more tired than I was used to. Determined to nip that nasty little trend in the bud, I set out to find the best scrub I could get my hands on. After much researching and testing, I found my holy grail of scrubs: Origins Never a Dull Moment. I've used this exact same scrub ever since.Origins Never a Dull Moment Cleanser$17.50Available at: Macys.comI can't live without this stuff. The combination of manual scrubbing grains and exfoliating fruit enzymes makes my skin glow like nothing else I've ever tried. I use it faithfully three times a week and my face loves me for it.

At a recent Meligrove Band show, I was talking with bassist, Michael Small. He told me that I should check out his girlfriend's band, Laura Peek & The Winning Hearts.At first I was shocked. Why would their label/management allow Michael to divulge that he's "spoken for"? Wasn't this like a Beatles' thing?Then I was sort of offended. You see, we've been playing Laura for months.My umbrage turned quickly to concern. Do Laura and Michael not speak? I mean, sure they live a few provinces apart, but when they do talk certainly Laura's airplay on R3 is the main topic.So I'm dedicating this pick to Michael and Laura.

Banana Republic Sweater$58.00Through 9/3: $43.50Available at: BananaRepublic.comAlthough I am always up for trying the next big thing in fashion, I also have a soft spot for classic, go-with-anything items. When I find one of those classics that fits just right, I buy in multiples. My most recent classic find? The Cotton/Silk 3/4-Sleeve Crewneck Sweater from Banana Republic.This basic crewneck is incredibly soft thanks to a healthy dose of silk spun in with the easygoing cotton. It also fits just right. The sweater is cut slim and hem is a little longer-- about hip length-- but the sleeves are 3/4 length. The overall effect is of an updated classic. I just purchased the dark brown that is pictured and absolutely love it. I'll definitely be going back for more colors soon!This timeless sweater is available in Creeks Bed Brown (shown), Dark Burgundy, New Bamboo, Rich Ginger, Tickle Pink, Rich Cream, New Cedar Pink, and Black-- a color to match just about anything in your closet.

Philosophy "The Supernatural"$35.00Available at: Nordstrom.comAirbrushing. A term we have all come to know well. It is the magic word that makes less-than-flawless starlets look better than any women ever has in real life. *cough* Faith Hill *cough* Too bad it only exists in Photo Shop.I've found the next best thing. Philosophy "The Supernatural" Airbrush Canvas SPF 15. This stuff is amazing. Yes, it's one of those super trendy "mineral" makeup products that claims to be foundation, powder, concealer, and sunscreen all in one. But, unlike those other mineral makeup products out there-- well, at least the ones I've tried-- this one really does work miracles. I first tried "The Supernatural" as a sample. A tiny vial of "that new powder" that I tested out on a whim. The results: indescribable. Instead of coating the skin in a thick powder in order to camouflage imperfections, this light as air anti-powder gently buffs away discoloration and enlarged pores and then fades away. Really. N

MANAGEMENT GURU‘The science of today is the technology of tomorrow’, a cliché apt for the tech-savy world we live in. To add to it all, the merging of wireless world and telecommunication has taken ‘communication technology’ to higher highs at dizzying speeds. And just when we were getting accustomed to the term, loud announcements of the entry of 4G was made.It’s no-brainer that planning for the next generation must be done while the previous phase is being implemented. And the generations differ from each other on various aspects – right from their primary focus and speed of data transfer, to the degree of mobility. The initial stages, particularly 2G became an instant hit because it revolutionised the way we communicated, making it ‘wirefree’, while focussing on the quality of voice transmission. Then an advanced generation (3G) caught on us, coupled with telecom operators heralding its entry with impressive promises of delivering various web-enabled services and mu
