To win the coveted Car of the Year award, Fusion outperformed the competition - including the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan - in six new categories: design achievement, engineering excellence, intended function, efficiency, safety and value.

Stoneham Ford in Massachusetts says the Fusion is one of their best selling models. It is also among the nation's top 10-selling vehicles and the number 1-selling domestic car in America.

Boston Ford Fusion owners particularly love the Fusion's gas efficiency. With EPA-estimated 23 City/34 Hwy/27 combined mpg, Ford Fusion is at the head of its class in fuel economy. The new Fusion offers Boston residents more of what they love; power, class-exclusive technologies, such as Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) and Ford SYNC®; and more total passenger and luggage capacity than the Toyota Camry.

According to Mike Warwick of Stoneham Ford, the Fusion delivers the key attributes that midsize sedan buyers are looking for. 'With best-in-class fuel economy, more power than previous models and a significant leap in residual value, the Fusion can accommodate many different lifestyles and individual needs.'

According to the Associated Press, a September storm dumped historic amounts of rain that shut down Kellogg's Atlanta plant, and several production lines at the company's largest bakery in Rossville, Tennessee, are closed indefinitely for repairs. Company Spokeswoman Kris Charles said that it will take until the middle of 2010 before shelves around the country are stocked with Eggo waffles at pre-shutdown levels.

Already customers are noticing near-empty Eggo shelves on the freezer aisle at many grocery stores. On his website Wilbur writes, 'Fortunately, I was able to snag some of the last few boxes of several varieties of Eggos at a local Albertson's supermarket here in Las Vegas, and after a few hours in the lab I pounded out a brand-new clone recipe for all of you who will miss your Eggos.'

Todd Wilbur is the best-selling author of a series of cookbooks featuring copycat recipes of popular brand-name foods. He has appeared on several talk shows including The Oprah Winfrey Show, Today, and Good Morning America. His next book, 'Top Secret Recipes Unlocked', includes dozens of taste-alike recipes for brand-name products Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Stouffer's Macaroni and Cheese, and Starbucks Frappuccino. It will be in stores on November 24th.

Tarlov's mission was to grow wines to match those of Burgundy's best and Evening Land has been winning a developing reputation for making the outstanding Pinot Noir and Chardonnays outside the Côte d'Or. He set up the venture after managing to gain two of America's most important vineyards – the fantastic Seven Springs in Oregon, and Sonoma's famed Occidental in California.

He then persuaded Dominique Lafon, one of Burgundy's most reputable winemakers, to nurture the development of the Oregon vineyard. Peter Ahl, Managing Director of London-based Serenata Wines, which specialize in providing high-quality wine online, said: 'This is a major coup for Serenata Wines.'Evening Land Vineyards was set up by a late Hollywood film manager and there's no question its wine range has true leading quality.'

Serenata assured the Evening Land deal by connecting up with a companion which is the single UK importer of Evening Land Vineyards. Although Ten-Acre is a wholesaler, it has preferred to operate with Serenata on the retail side, making Serenata the single UK retailer. The wines of Evening Land, whose name was inspired by a wedding gift to Zeus, include the velvety 2006 Evening Coast Pinot Noir California/Oregon and the great 2006 Occidental Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast.

Serenata Wines is a UK one stop wine shop and a purveyor of top-quality wine online with a distribution system all over the UK. Its luxury gift-giving service occurs with quality packaging and super-fast wine delivery. The Serenata brand also specializes in online flower and chocolate delivery with its award-winning sister sites Serenata Flowers and Serenata Chocolates.

BELO HORIZONTE, Minas Gerais, Brazil - Winners for this week's Brazilian Fair Trade Certified coffee cupping competition have been announced. Sebastião Reguim of the producer association, Unipcafem, and Marcos Antônio Nali of the producer association, Pró-nova, won first place in the natural and semi-washed coffee categories. The competition, which is a specialized tasting process to assess quality, capped off several months of intensive quality training for farmers and was attended by high-ranking Brazilian and U.S. officials, representatives of the Brazilian coffee industry and international coffee buyers.

The event was sponsored by U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Walmart, TransFair USA and the Brazilian non-profit SEBRAE, as part of the Responsible Sourcing Partnership project to benefit farmers throughout Brazil. The project aims to expand and improve the quality of Fair Trade Certified coffee supply though investments in infrastructure, technical assistance with production and postharvest processing, as well as training in coffee quality management.

'The 2009 Fair Trade Cupping Competition is an important milestone of the Responsible Sourcing Partnership Project,' said Lisa Kubiske, Chargé d' Affaires a.i. for the U.S. Embassy in Brazil. 'The competition recognizes and rewards premium quality coffee and demonstrates how the Brazilian producers are taking advantage of the economic, social and environmental benefits resulting from the adoption of Fair Trade practices.'

USAID, Walmart, TransFair USA and SEBRAE have partnered together on a three-year, public-private responsible sourcing partnership program. From 2007 – 2010, program partners will commit $1.9 million in investments and technical support to help 5,000 famers from the Brazilian states of Sao Paolo, Minas Gerais and Espiritu Santo increase coffee quality, improve cooperative management and enhance marketing.

'We want to congratulate the farmers that participated in the competition and appreciate them for their tireless efforts to bring our members the highest quality coffee,' said Jill Turner-Mitchael, senior vice president of Merchandising, Sam's Club. 'We are proud that through this partnership, we are giving these farmers the opportunity to continue to improve their operations, compete in the global market and provide a better life for their families and their communities.'

Producers and their families benefit from increased employment opportunities, expanded access to new domestic and international markets, increased use of environmentallysound farming methods, better prices for their coffee beans and overall improvements in their quality of life.

'These coffee farmers have spent the past two years tirelessly working to improve the quality of their crops. They have participated in training sessions, attended specialty coffee conferences, and for the first time, many of their cooperatives have skilled, inhouse cuppers,' said Paul Rice, president and CEO of TransFair USA. 'Because of the Responsible Sourcing Partnership Project, some of the best specialty coffee in Brazil has been uncovered, and we are so proud to say that it is Fair Trade Certified.'

In 2008, imports of Fair Trade Certified coffee into the United States grew more than 30 percent. Fair Trade Certification provides higher prices, support for sustainable agriculture and funds for democratically-elected development projects. The Responsible Sourcing Partnership Project is an innovative public-private union designed to amplify the benefits Brazilian farmers gain from Fair Trade, increasing their incomes and capacities going forward.

In the case of the "Forgotten Australians", thousands of British children, some as young as three, were separated from their families or taken from care homes and sent across the world. Once in Australia the boys and girls were reported to be used as cheap labour. Many were sent during the blitz in World War II, some were told they were orphans when in fact their families were still alive. Today, 7,000 child migrants from Britain are still understood to be living in Australia.

Similar to the stories that Tracesmart has come across, it's reported that many of the 7,000 people are now eager to find relatives in the UK that they have lost contact with, in the hope of being reunited with family members long forgotten or even long thought dead.

Tracesmart's primary service to the consumer is the provision of an intuitive online people search facility to help find relatives and friends. Their powerful name and address search tools employ a variety of datasets, including the uk electoral roll, and since its launch, www.tracesmart.co.uk has grown to become one of the UK's leading web based people tracing portals.

Owen Roberts, Tracesmart's Communications Manager commented, "Tracesmart's online facility provides a comprehensive, up-to-date and easy-to-use resource for people such as the 'child migrants', that can help them trace long lost family using current UK data. I'm sure the facility we offer can provide the key to many successful Australian/UK family reunions and I hope we can help. We would love to hear from anyone who has used our system to find their missing UK family".

NEW YORK — Young adults are more likely to purchase a product or service based on the recommendation of a celebrity endorser than older shoppers, according to a new study by leading media agency Mediaedge:cia (MEC).

The report revealed that 30 percent of respondents aged 18-34 said they would try a product promoted by an admired celebrity compared to 14 percent of consumers in the 35-54 age group and 11 percent of respondents aged 55-plus. Additionally, the survey showed that the younger group was also almost 50 percent more likely than their older counterparts to recommend a celebrity-endorsed product to others.

Those were only some of the findings of the wide-ranging report, dubbed MEC's Celebrity Endorsement SENSOR™, which was conducted in early 2009 among a nationally representative sample of U.S. consumers aged 18 years and older.

Other survey findings included the following:

• The majority of Americans pursue celebrities via news outlets (58 percent), and information on the Internet (31 percent)

• Adults ages 18-34 and men are most likely to engage with celebrities via digitally related activities such as posting comments on blogs that cover celebrities, becoming a 'friend' of a celebrity on a social networking site, and forwarding a celebrity link, picture or video to others online

• Interest in celebrities declines significantly as consumers get older

The report also revealed that 35 percent of respondents believe celebrity endorsements improve a brand's awareness, help define its personality, and generate interest.

But the survey also revealed an important caveat about using celebrity endorsers that advertisers should keep in mind: More than half of those surveyed (53 percent) said they have trouble remembering which celebrities are endorsing which brands and only notice a brand if it's in a category they are interested in.

'Although 25 percent of all adults have had their purchase influenced, either positively or negatively, by celebrity endorsers, advertisers have to be selective in their choice of celebrities,' said Fran Kennish, Strategic Planning Director for Mediaedge:cia, who reported the study's findings along with MEC MediaLab Supervisor Ed Kavilanz. 'A careful match of the celebrity personality, the category and the brand they represent, and the consumer can magnify the value and the effectiveness of celebrities as a communication vehicle.'

The survey also showed that not all product and service categories are created equal as far as celebrity endorsements are concerned: fashion, beauty/fragrance, luxury goods and sporting equipment get the most benefit from celebrity endorsement

For most categories, celebrity endorsers ranked low against 23 other purchase influencers, losing out to other factors and touch points like pricing, TV ads and product reviews. But when viewed against fashion, beauty/fragrance, luxury goods and sporting equipment celebrity endorsements have a stronger influence, ranking in the top 10 purchase influencing factors.

'There's no doubt that celebrity endorsement can play a valuable and important role in today's complex marketing environment,' said Kennish. 'Celebrity endorsement drives brand saliency, can evoke closer consumer engagement with the brand and, under optimal conditions, drives purchase. But marketers need to remember that it resonates more with specifically defined audiences where an underlying connection between the consumer and the celebrity already exists.'

The survey was part of a larger, global study of celebrity endorsements by MEC MediaLab of more than 24,000 consumers across 25 countries. That study showed that while celebrity endorsement is still an effective marketing tool, consumer appetite for it is waning.

Almost a third of consumers (29 percent) across the globe said that celebrity endorsements influence their purchasing decisions and one in four (25 percent) have bought a product because a celebrity was promoting it. But the majority (65 percent) of respondents said they believe that too many products are promoted by celebrities in their country.

'While the impact of celebrity endorsement may be waning, it remains an important and effective marketing tool for many brands,' said Damian Thompson, global head of consumer insight at MEC . 'However, it appears that interest in celebrity culture has peaked in some countries and marketers need to be more strategic in their use of celebrity endorsements. They must analyze and understand the fit between celebrity, brand, and consumer—along with a celebrity's relationship with the media—to implement a well thought-through activation plan and measurable return.'

The star of the show was Fujifilm's FinePix REAL 3D W1, the world's first 3D digital camera. Not only did the 3D W1 pick up Innovation of the Year, but it was also Highly Commended in the Camera of the Year category. Commenting on the award Stuff said: "The W1 ticks all the 'proper gadget' boxes, capturing photos and videos in stereoscopic 3D by combining images from two separate lenses and 10MP image sensors." Launched earlier this month, Fujifilm's unique and pioneering 3D W1 has received some high-profile press coverage - Stephen Fry tweeted about it on Twitter and Queen's Brian May is among its many fans - and the fact that it has been recognised by one of the UK's leading gadget and technology magazines is a testament to Fujifilm's groundbreaking developments in 3D photography.

The FinePix F200EXR, Fujifilm's first camera to feature EXR sensor technology, was crowned Camera of the Year 2009, beating off stiff competition against competitors' models such as the Canon G10 and Sony's TG7. Stuff bestowed Camera of the Year to the FinePix F200EXR because it "got on with the job of taking excellent photos without fuss". This prize is yet another great result for Fujifilm's FinePix F200EXR, which has already won some of the industry's most sought-after awards.

Adrian Clarke, Fujifilm's Director of Digital Imaging, said: "To receive two Stuff awards is fantastic news. It reflects Fujifilm's commitment in bringing new and exciting products to the digital camera market, and with such an intense interest in 3D products, such as gaming, TV and film, Fujifilm are proud to be leading the way in 3D digital photography."

Displaysense, one of the UK's leading suppliers of retail displays and shop fittings has launched a brand new sister site, Inflatableeveything.co.uk, offering everything that could possibly be pumped, inflated or blown up, all from under one roof.

Inflatable Everything launched its website with a range of over 400 products and already there are plans to get this figure to over 1000 by January 2010 in order to truly be the home of everything inflatable in the UK. With inflatable costumes for parties and toys for children, through to inflatable canoes and promotional displays, the company aims to truly own the inflatable market.

To mark the introduction of this new business venture, Inflatable Everything is also offering an introductory 10% discount, in the form of a voucher code (IE1109PR), to customers who are looking to purchase any inflatable from its ever expanding range of products.

Steve Whittle the marketing manager at Inflatable Everything commented, "As a business, we are very ambitious and we are aiming to become a real household name that everyone will remember when they are looking to purchase anything inflatable, from inflatable party props to recreational inflatables. Amongst our range of inflatable products we also source a wide range of event and promotional inflatables such as giant inflatable blimps and merchandise giveaways that are suitable for advertising a product or service, which will appeal to all businesses including our existing Displaysense customers."

Although Inflatable Everything has only been trading for a couple of weeks, the company has already been receiving large orders and plenty of enquiries for its inflatable products. From office parties to customers interested in seasonal inflatables, it has not been a slow start for the business.

Inflatable Everything also provide customers peace of mind with their 28 day money back guarantee and a one year guarantee on manufacturing defects, which Steve believes will encourage greater customer confidence in the brand and their products from day one. Although the company is only a couple of weeks old, the team behind Inflatable Everything and Displaysense at the RCH group, have a wealth of experience. And because of the meteoric sustainable growth of the group over the past 10 years they have been able to acquire the services of over 30 suppliers to help develop their range to ultimately become the UKs true one stop shop for inflatables.

The directors and all the members of staff at Inflatable Everything are really pumped up, believing that the next few months will prove to be very successful for the business and that 2010 will be the year when the company will truly start to see their market share expand.

Bolstered by a brigade of brown-suited Santas and 102 years of experience, UPS (NYSE:UPS) is set to deliver another season of holiday magic.

UPS has circled Monday, Dec. 21, on the calendar as its busiest day of the year when the company anticipates delivering approximately 22 million packages worldwide. That's about a 40 percent increase over normal daily delivery volumes.

For the entire holiday peak season - stretching from Thanksgiving to Christmas - UPS will deliver approximately 400 million packages around the world, up slightly compared to the 2008 holiday season. And to support this holiday package volume spike, UPS expects to hire roughly 50,000 seasonal workers.

"Each holiday season, UPS delivers more packages than anyone in the world," said Alan Gershenhorn, UPS senior vice president of worldwide sales and marketing. "Our customers know our shipping process is fast, easy and convenient and our team is dedicated to smoothly delivering the holidays."
