Yorktown Patch:
Chemotherapy, radiation and cancer medications save peoples’ lives, but take a toll on their bodies. Today, Kerry Kourie, who lives in Garrison, knows cancer treatment affects people psychologically and physically and wants to do her part to help ease the pain.
She aims to address one side effect of these life saving treatments by offering unique oncology spa treatments at her new business Skinchanted in Peekskill.

Connecting Drivers With Available Parking for $$$
May 24, 2012 by Dane Carlson | Ideas
Sydney Morning Herald:
Some people hate banks, some hate their telcos and others have it in for insurance companies. Daniel Battaglia’s pet hates are excessive parking fees and council parking inspectors. But unlike most of us, he’s turned his particular dislike into a business, despite having almost no financing assistance.
Battaglia had been travelling around the world after five years in the finance industry and was mulling over a few ideas for start-ups.
“When I got back to Sydney I went to visit a good mate in Paddington and couldn’t find any street parking,” he says.
“I noticed a few empty driveways and as it turned out my mate’s garage was empty as well. That’s when it all came together for me.”
Battaglia spoke to some people about the idea of a website that matched drivers in need of parking with people who had a driveway or garage to spare and wanted to make a bit of extra cash out of it.
For months later, Battaglia had launched Parking Made Easy.

Today in Entrepreneurial History: May 24
May 24, 2012 by Dane Carlson | History
You can read more about the Judgement of Paris in the book Judgment of Paris: California vs. France and the Historic 1976 Paris Tasting That Revolutionized Wine.
The Paris Tasting of 1976 will forever be remembered as the landmark event that transformed the wine industry. At this legendary contest — a blind tasting — a panel of top French wine experts shocked the industry by choosing unknown California wines over France’s best.
George M. Taber, the only reporter present, recounts this seminal contest and its far-reaching effects, focusing on three gifted unknowns behind the winning wines: a college lecturer, a real estate lawyer, and a Yugoslavian immigrant. With unique access to the main players and a contagious passion for his subject, Taber renders this historic event and its tremendous aftershocks — repositioning the industry and sparking a golden age for viticulture across the globe. With an eclectic cast of characters and magnificent settings, Judgment of Paris is an illuminating tale and a story of the entrepreneurial spirit of the new world conquering the old.
