Thus, for example, rather than teaching children to speak by drilling sounds and words, Denver Model therapists begin with what they call "talking bodies" - the nonverbal communication of smiles, gestures and eye contact that normally precedes speech but which toddlers with autism have missed. While therapists use ABA techniques to chart progress toward specific goals, the therapy itself "looks like play," says Rogers, a co-author of the study. "If you saw it, you would say, 'That's what I do with my own baby.' " (Read "For the First Time, a Census of Autistic Adults...
...player as well as a sexual one. Though just 18, Noemi Letizia - whose relationship with Berlusconi spurred feverish speculation in the Italian press this summer - knows how the game works. "[I want to be] a showgirl," she told an Italian newspaper. "I am interested in politics, too ... I'd rather be a candidate for the Chamber of Parliament. Papi Silvio would take care of that." Last year, Berlusconi formalized the politics-showgirls link, appointing Mara Carfagna, 32, a former velina and topless model, as his Minister for Equal Opportunities.

"It's good that governors from other provinces are [saying], 'Must have a REDD project' rather than 'Let's log it all and convert it into oil palm.'" In partnership with the Australian investment bank Macquarie Group, FFI has six other REDD schemes: three in Indonesia and others in Cambodia, Ecuador and Liberia. Last month, governors Irwandi and Schwarzenegger joined 30 other subnational leaders - including a dozen other...
...Agencies aren't necessarily trying to reinvent the wheel. Rather, they see themselves as leveraging their experience at building brands. "That's what our core strength is," says Munn, who spent most of his career working for consumer-products giant Unilever. "We're an idea-generating powerhouse." Munn says agencies can find success developing and promoting "high-concept, low-tech" products "where the role of the brand is a very, very important part of the overall offer." Agencies typically enlist partners to handle manufacturing, distribution and, sometimes, financing. To launch the Ila Dusk, for example, Zag teamed with Locca Tech...
