It is our collective impact in the city that counts and we do this by taking small steps. This has inspired me to work even harder.” In addition to his many years of service on the JBFCS Board of Trustees, Mann also served as chairman of Kaplan House, an urban residential facility for twenty-five adolescent males that provides an extensive independent-living skills program and therapeutic and support services. Last year, he launched the JBFCS Hudson Valley Ride,...

Shakira first went for help back in 2001 because she was unhappy with her looks. And she is insisting it has changed her life. Shakira told UK's Fabulous magazine, "It helped me so much with every aspect of my life, from body image to relationships.

**** Sweet revenge: In this weeks Steppin' Out magazine, Alessandra Torresani, who stars in the new Syfy drama "Caprica" tells Chaunce Hayden what happens when a guy cheats on her...... It ain't pretty. **** Alessandra Torresani I'm not that bad ass. But I'm Italian and Jewish. It's a bad combo. I've actually beaten down ex-boyfriends! Nobody f**ks with me. Let's just say that. I'm crazy. When a guy who I'm dating doesn't respect me and would rather be with other girls, I quickly make it known I don't take that. I've had boyfriends leave me for models. So the best revenge I can think of is being on billboards on every street in New York and Los Angeles. I hope they see that the girl they left me for don't have posters all over major cities just about them. I don't need any Karate skills. My show ["Caprica"] speaks for itself.
