When I got married, a green wedding meant attendants in mint-colored dresses or guests tossing bird seed instead of confetti at the happy couple. These days, eco-conscious brides are seeking earth-friendly alternatives in all elements of their ceremonies and celebrations — from sustainable favors to recycled gowns to organic caterers to paperless invitations.

And it’s not just crunchy-granola types who are looking to lessen their satin high-heeled carbon footprints. In a recent David’s Bridal survey, 78 percent of all respondents said they would take steps to make their weddings more environmentally-conscious.

In other words, when it comes to weddings, green is the new white and earth-friendly wedding services are sprouting like wheat grass.

Like GreenBrideGuide.com, a New Haven-based website that connects about-to-be-marrieds with local and national green resources. The site features more than 1,300 vendors, a green gift registry with free carbon neutral shipping and a green wedding shop.

Founder Kate L. Harrrison doesn’t just talk the green talk, she walked the green walk right down the aisle at her own wedding a few years ago — eco-friendly invites, green gown, carbon offsets as favors, grass-fed, pasture-raised beef on the menu and locally sourced flowers…Continue Reading

The numbers are daunting: Construction jobs peaked at 127,500 in Riverside and San Bernardino counties in 2006, then plummeted as a result of the recession and housing downturn to 56,100 in February.

That’s a loss of 71,400 jobs in five years, the California Employment Development Department reported.

As the construction sector looks to rebuild, there are some positive signs despite completion of several high-profile Interstate 10 overpass projects, industry experts said Thursday during Desert Valleys Building Association’s economic update dubbed “Cut to the Chase for 2012: Our Economic Future.”

Several panelists said there may be some relief, though not immediate, in an unlikely place — the housing sector.

Developers are buying up residential lots at stalled or foreclosed housing projects, and inventories of resale homes in some communities are low enough to begin spurring new-home building…Continue Reading

This week on The Broke and the Beautiful, Lenny Dykstra gets prison time and the owners of the New York Mets must pay up. Also, a judge wants the Los Angeles Dodgers and Bryan Stow to settle their dispute.

One, two, three strikes, you’re out? Former New York Mets player Lenny “Nails” Dysktra last week sought to plead no contest in his grand-theft auto case. But as the Los Angeles Times reported, a judge on Monday wouldn’t grant Dykstra’s request, instead sentencing the baseball-player-turned-financial guru to three years in state prison. The Times also noted this week that Dykstra is facing trial on 13 criminal counts, including bankruptcy fraud and obstruction of justice.

The owners of the New York Mets have been locked in a tussle with Bernard Madoff trustee Irving Picard for a year over allegations they ignored warning signs of Madoff’s massive scandal. As The Wall Street Journal reported this week, Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz have to pay up to $83 million they withdrew from Madoff’s firm, Bernard Madoff Investment Securities LLC. Though the ruling from U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff was a blow to Wilpon and Katz, it’s much less than the $1 billion they were sued for a year ago. A trial set to being March 19 will determine whether the two could owe more than $300 in principal investments, plus the $83 million…Continue Reading

Justice is blind. The iconic statue of the goddess shows Justice, her scales swaying, the sword at her side ready to strike and her eyes masked by a blindfold. The scales are there to represent the balancing of the facts and the law, the sword for the punishment and the blindfold for impartiality.

The law divides itself into two basic divisions, the civil and the criminal. Criminal law is the subject of TV dramas and legal thrillers and deals with the state or the government enforcing laws against the individual. Civil law deals with disputes between individuals that need to be resolved through the court system.

So when you get the traffic ticket for going too fast down the hill on U.S. 89, this is the criminal system: South Weber V. You.

If you rear-end someone because you are driving too fast, then that person could sue you in the civil system: Person With Bumper Dented V. You…Continue Reading

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — General Motors reported a record annual profit Thursday, just two years after the nation’s largest automaker emerged from bankruptcy with the help of a federal bailout.

With rivals Ford Motor (F, Fortune 500) and Chrysler Group having already reported profits for last year, 2011 marked the first time since 2004 that all three major U.S. automakers were profitable at the same time. Chrysler also filed for bankruptcy and received federal assistance in 2009.

Overall, GM reported full-year net income attributed to common shareholders of $7.6 billion, which comes to $4.58 a share. That’s up from the $4.6 billion it earned in 2010.

GM’s results show the impact of changes made during the bankruptcy process in the summer of 2009, when it closed plants, won changes in labor contracts, and shed weaker brands and dealerships. The moves allowed the company to be far more profitable even though sales levels are still below pre-recession levels.

Overall global sales volume rose 7.6% to 9 million for the year, enough to allow it to recapture the global sales title it held for 77 years before it fell behind Toyota Motor (TM) in 2008. Revenue… continue reading

Local pro Katy Harris, who played in this year’s U.S. Women’s Open after taking nearly a decade off from competitive golf, has qualified for the LPGA Tour.

Harris, who plays out of Redstone Golf Club finished 39th at the LPGA Tour Qualifying Tournament last week. Her 1-under-par performance at Plantation Golf & Country Club in Venice, Fla., earned her 20 tournament exemptions for the 2012 season. The top 40 players receive varying degrees of exemptions.

The former Louisiana State University American said she was hoping for better status but was pleased with how she played and excited about taking the next career step. She plans to try Monday to qualify for events in which she doesn’t get an exemption.

“And my status can be improved through good play in LPGA events throughout the year,” said the 32-year-old mother of two.

Harris, who works with teacher Justin Hill of Little Rock, said she went into tour school confident.

“Leading up to the tournament, I spent a lot of time working around the greens, and that work paid off in the event,” said Harris… continue reading
