Lili Estefan, Candela Ferro, Ana Maria Conseco, Lourdes Stephen and Real Housewives of Miami Lisa Hochstein and Marysol Patton joined press and digital influencers in Miami on Thursday to help raise awareness of the dangers of skin cancer. Hosted by beauty brand L'Oreal Paris at the Mondrian, the event took on special meaning when members of the audience and L'Oreal's brand representative shared their personal and family battles with skin cancer. L'Oreal was celebrating their public education campaign, "It's THAT Worth It", and encouraging participants to sign up for the Thunderclap.
As part of the event, Miami dermatologist Dr. Flor Mayoral discussed the importance of sun safety and sun care myths. One of her top tips, "The best anti-aging cream there is is sunscreen." In addition the following statistics were shared:
- Melanoma claims the lives of 10,000 people every year
- 58% of Hispanic women believe they should wear sunscreen daily but only 35% do
- Florida has the highest number of melanoma cases in the world
- 1 in 8 people will be diagnosed with melanoma
Using Eva Longoria as a spokesperson and launching an event in Miami with a focus on the Latino community was especially important to the L'Oreal team as Hispanics are making up a growing majority of melanoma diagnosis. The public health call to action campaign titled "It's THAT Worth It" asks women of every skin color to prevent melanoma by wearing sunscreen daily.
To spread the word further, L'Oreal Paris invited the digital influencers to sign up for the ItsThatWorthIt.org Thunderclap. The Thunderclap will send out a message on May 20th via the digital channels of all who have signed up reflecting each person's commitment to stopping melanoma. L'Oreal Paris has committed to donating up to $250,000 to the Melanoma Research Alliance as part of the campaign. With the Thunderclap exceeding it's goal of 2,000 influencers, it looks like L'Oreal Paris will be doing just that.

April 30, 2010
Representatives from more than 30 companies recently set up displays in Café Cagnone to showcase a variety of products, services and technologies to the school community. The Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry's American Student Dental Association (ASDA) organized the April 14 exhibitor fair as a way to educate students about some of the products in the marketplace while also raising money to support student activities.
Students, faculty and staff enjoyed complimentary appetizers, wine and other beverages while exploring the vendor tables and mingling with the exhibitors and each other. Raffle prizes including local restaurant gift certificates and dentistry-related items were given out at the end of the evening.
Vendors included Apple Computer, Brasseler USA, California Dental Arts, Colgate, Crosstex International, Designs for Vision, Health Professionals, Henry Schein Dental, Hu-Friedy, Indian Health Services, Jostens, Kerr Corporation, Kool Smiles, Matsco, Medical Protective, Mitchell & Mitchell, Ocean Dental, Orascoptic, Pacific Dental, Patterson Dental, Perioptix Inc., Philips Consumer, Premier Dental, Proctor & Gamble Oral, Q-Optics/Quality Aspirators, Inc., San Francisco Dental Society, SS White, SurgiTel/General Scientific, Suter Dental, Ultralight Optics and the U.S. Navy.
The money raised from this event assists the school's ASDA chapter in funding its various activities throughout the year, including a day to meet with state representatives in Sacramento and a trip to meet with members of Congress in Washington, D.C., as well as a visit to Baltimore for the annual ASDA meeting.
"Thank you to all of the companies involved in this year's Vendor Fair for showing their support," added Erin Kane, member of the DDS Class of 2011 and one of the main student organizers of the event. "The Vendor Fair exposes students to a variety of different companies and services available to them and it also brings members of the school together."
"We get a great education here at University of the Pacific," said Michael Rice, member of the DDS Class of 2012 and current president of the school's ASDA Chapter. "Vendor fairs and "lunch-and-learn" events give us information about products and companies so we can decide for ourselves what we like and how we want to practice. We're fortunate to have a supportive administration that encourages us to enrich our learning experience."
ASDA is a national student-run organization whose mission is to protect and advance the rights, interests and welfare of students pursuing careers in dentistry. More than 87% of all dental students nationwide join the association. At the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry, 100% of DDS and IDS students are members of ASDA.

BACKGROUND: Aging is closely related to the onset of chronic diseases, such as coronary artery disease, diabetic nephropathy or different types of malignancies, reflecting the demand for novel biomarkers to manage theses diseases. OBJECTIVE: The analysis of the human proteome for biomarkers has made considerable advances in the last years. METHODS: We describe the main technological approaches taken, their advantages and disadvantages. RESULTS: We will review the different clinical sources of material and attempt to highlight the different challenges and approaches associated with these. Age-related changes in the proteome have been described and were found to be highly similar to changes associated with chronic diseases. We will give several examples on the successful application of proteomics in the diagnosis, prognosis and therapy of these chronic diseases. CONCLUSIONS: A boost in disease-related proteomic information is expected in the very near future, and will also result in its broad clinical application. However, this view appears to be dependent on the strict adherence to proper technological/analytical parameters, correct statistics, and large databases that allow comparison of datasets provided by different scientists. Clearly, the proteome is by far too complex to be tackled by one laboratory on its own.

New Age Business Advertising Strategies in Alexandria LA
Alexandria, La- This is without a doubt the age of technology. Alexandria Louisiana is a great place, but a lot of businesses are folding because they are not advertising like they could be.
The traditional advertising methods are good, but they are not what will keep your business thriving in 2014-15 and beyond. It is time to evolve into a whole new world of advertising in the technological age. This will open your business to a much larger audience that you couldn't have otherwise reached.
If you do not have an online presence then you are losing revenue, and that is the bottom line. You must target your audience. Most people are going online to find their goods and services, and this means you need to be easy to find on all major search engines. Content marketing can get you on the first pages of those search engines.
How do you do that? The answer is easy. It is a little trick called keyword saturation and utilization or SEO (Search Engine Optimization). SEM (Search Engine Marketing) is another key to getting the best ranks. You need a professional freelance writer who you can count on to get you in the game and keep you there.
You want to create a blog for your business. All businesses need a blog and a social media business page that is strictly for business. Remember, these are oftentimes a client's first and only impression of your company.
You will need to update your blog and social media pages using the keywords that are specific to your business. Updates should be done at least five times a week with a blog post of no less than 400 and a maximum of 1,500 words. Your social media pages need to be updated with a 100 word minimum 5 days a week, and you will need to respond to the followers there daily as well.
If you have high demand keywords then you may need to use long tail SEO. Contacting a professional writer experienced with SEO will get you the answers that you need. Finding out the best methods available on your budget for your business to get the recognition it needs on the World Wide Web is an email away.
It sounds a lot easier than it is though. Google and the other major search engines are constantly updating and changing their requirements. This means that you need a professional freelance writer who knows what is going on in the content marketing venue at all times. Otherwise you could get banned from the major search engines altogether, and that is bad news for your business.
You can go through a third party platform like Textbroker, O-Desk or Elance to find a freelance writer to promote your business through content marketing, but many times you get what you pay for (if you are lucky). Or you can hire a writer who has already done all of those platforms and grown into their own business, like ACC Writing Services.
ACC Writing Services is based in Alexandria, Louisiana, and it is privately owned and operated. You can rest assured that you are getting the best content marketing advertising for your business while maintaining your budget. Each client is treated as an individual with open communication and personalized services. Prices are based on the 2014 Writers Market pay scales, and no job is complete until the client is 100% satisfied.
At Alexandria Content Communications (ACC Writing Services) each project price will be negotiated to meet the needs of the client. This is the perfect place to get blog posts for your business, status updates for your social media pages, Meta tags and descriptions, flyers, business card designs, newsletters, business or product reviews and press releases just to name some. The goal is to get your company name out there.
Business hours are Monday through Friday from 7am until 3pm CST with the exception of US holidays. While local clients in Alexandria do get a discount, Alexandria Content Communications does serve clients on a global scale. This type of marketing literally pays for itself. Contact ACC Writing Services through email at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information on advertising your business in Alexandria Louisiana through content marketing services.
You can also contact ACC Writing services through their webpage by following the link: http://www.seocontentandwritingservices.com/

Is this the Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 (or Galaxy Camera NX)?
Mere hours ago news first broke that Samsung is going to unveil a mirrorless successor to the Galaxy Camera from last year, essentially a pretty high-end camera that runs Android. And now we have what is said to be the first ever image depicting this upcoming device (see below).
It's still unclear whether it will be called Galaxy Camera 2 or Galaxy Camera NX. NX is the branding that Samsung has used so far for its mirrorless cameras, so in a way this makes more sense – adding that to the Galaxy brand that signifies a product is powered by Android. On the other hand, 'Camera' is more descriptive of what the hardware actually is, so that may be what's chosen in the end. There's no way to know right now.
TechTastic, the source for the image above, seems to vote for the 'Galaxy NX' option, and says its model number will be EK-GN120. Despite the image, we don't yet know much about this camera. Its sensor could have 20 MP resolution, and the lens is interchangeable. And… that's it. For now. More details are sure to get leaked soon. And if they don't, we'll find out everything there is to know next Wednesday, when Samsung has already confirmed that it will announce this device.

Minutemen looking to secure No. 1 seed in upcoming CAA Tournament.
April 21, 2012
No. 1 UMass Looks For Regular-Season CAA Title Vs. Hofstra at New England Lacrosse Classic • As the regular-season comes down to the home stretch, the No. 1 UMass men's lacrosse team (11-0) has a chance to wrap up the CAA Regular-Season Championship and earn the No. 1 seed in the upcoming CAA Tournament as the Minutemen face perinnial rival Hofstra on Saturday at Gillette Stadium in the 3rd Annual New England Lacrosse Classic. For the Minutemen, ranked No. 1 in this week's USILA Coaches Poll, a win today or a win next Friday at Delaware could lock in UMass for a home game in the CAA Semifinals which starts Wednesday, May 2. • UMass and Hofstra have met on the lacrosse field a total of 36 times in the history of the two programs. UMass holds a slight 19-17 advantage in the series, however, the Pride came out on top 14-5 in 2011 at the ESPNU Warrior Classic at Rentschler Field. The series has been close over the last six seasons which the teams alternating wins. Out of the 36 prior meetings, 10 have been decided by a goal with four games seeing overtime.• Saturday marks the 3rd time UMass has played in an NFL Stadium. In the magical 2006 NCAA Tournament run, the Minutemen after defeating Maryland in the NCAA Semifinals before falling to Virginia in the National Championship Game (L, 7-15).• A live video stream of home games and select road games will be available during the year through UMass All-Access which is a subscription based service. The streaming video works best on a high-speed internet connection. Monthly packages begin at $9.95 which includes all games from sponsored CBS College Sports-affiliated schools.
Last Time Out: 8-6 Win Over Drexel At Bethpage• In the second annual Battle for Bethpage, No. 2 UMass and Drexel put on a show for the 4,000 fans in attendance as the Minutemen used a big four-quarter to narrowly edge the Dragons 8-6. Tim McCormack (14 saves) was named the game's MVP as both teams received excellent defensive play throughout the day. Drexel took an early 2-0 after the first quarter, while Steve D'Amario and Will Manny cranked up the offense in the second to tie the game 2-2 midway through. The teams traded goals to go into halftime tied 3-3. UMass locked down defensively in the third to shutout the Dragons, while Greg Rushing scored his second goal in as many games giving the Minutemen a 4-3 lead going into the fourth. Back-to-back tallies from Colin Fleming and D'Amario gave UMass a two-goal cushion that proved critical as the Minutemen held off Drexel late for the 8-6 win.
Up Next: Regular-Season Finale At Delaware• UMass will head to Delware next Friday, April 27 for a 7 PM regular-season finale. The game will be broadcast live on 100.9 FM KIX. A win vs. Hofstra on Saturday means UMass could post its first 2nd ever undefeated league season. The Minutemen's last undefeated league season was in 2002 with a 5-0 mark in the ECAC. Wins vs. Hofstra and at Delaware would also mark the Minutemen's first undefeated regular season since 1969.
Minutemen Garner Highest Ranking Ever• At No. 1 in the USILA Coaches Poll and No. 2 in the Media Poll, the UMass men's lacrosse program has achieved its highest national ranking ever. Prior to being ranked No. 2 for three weeks (Mar 27-Apr 9), the previous high for a national ranking was No. 3 which the Minutemen did this season, in 2003 and in 2001. At 11-0, UMass and Loyola remain as the lone unbeaten squads in the NCAA.
Manny Added To Tewaraaton Watch List• After a blazing start to the season, Will Manny was one of three players to be added to the Tewaraaton Watch List in March. Statisically one of the top offensive players in the country, Manny leads the Minutemen in goals and assists showing his ability to set up others just as often as his own ability to score.
Biscardi Named To Tewaraaton Watch List• Anthony Biscardi was named one of 73 players on the 2012 Tewaraaton Watch List which was announced in mid-February. This is the second straight year the midfielder has been on the Watch List for college lacrosse's highest honor.
Minutemen Picked 2nd In CAA• On the heels of a 10-5 season in 2011 which saw the Minutemen advance to the CAA Championship game, UMass was picked to finish 2nd in the CAA Preseason Coaches Poll - just one point behind favorite Delware which won the league title last season. Hofstra was picked third - just one point behind UMass in what could shape up to be a terrific CAA season.
Manny Picked As CAA Preseason Co-Player Of The Year• Junior attack Will Manny was named the CAA Preseason Co-Player of the Year alongside Penn State goalie Austin Kaut. Manny is UMass' top returning scorer from last season where he earned All-CAA Second Team and NEILA All-New England First-Team honors.
Biscardi, Celentani Haul In Preseason Accolades• Entering the season, Anthony Biscardi and Tom Celentani have both been in the forefront of preseason accolades from various outlets. The duo were both named to the CAA Preseason All-Conference Team alongside Will Manny. Both were also named to the Inside Lacrosse Preseason All-America Team. In the Major League Lacrosse Draft, Biscardi was taken by the Ohio Machine in the 2nd round, while Celentani was picked up by the Denver Outlaws in the 4th round.• Biscardi was UMass' third leading scorer a year ago with 20 goals and 10 assists. Of those 20 scores, three served as game-winners, while four came in man-up situations.• A close defenseman, Celentani started all 15 games last year causing 22 turnovers while picking up 34 groundballs. As one of the top defensive players in the CAA, he earned second team honors.
Offensive Firepower• Junior Will Manny has points in 39 of his 40 career games and cracked the 100-point barrier with his three-goal, four-assist effort against Bucknell this season. Manny enters the Hofstra game with 81 career goals and 63 career assists in 40 games. He had scored in the first 25 games of his career to mark the longest streak on UMass among all active players before the streak was ended vs. Hofstra (4/23/11) in the ESPNU Warrior Classic. • Junior Kyle Smith scored a career-high four goals in the win at Army including a pair of critical fourth quarter goals to seal the win. He had another great game against Bucknell with 3 goals and an assist. Against No. 19 Towson, he posted a six point game with 4 goals and 2 assists in the win. In 2011, he had at least one goal in eight of the last nine games -- that includes his two game-winners in overtime. He finished with 11 goals and 4 assists in his second college season.• Senior Art Kell has been on fire lately with 19 goals and 13 assists over his last eight games after starting the year with 1 goal and 3 assists.• Junior Anthony Biscardi had points in 12 of 15 games last year with 10 multiple point games. Biscardi was third on the team in points with 30 on 20 goals and 10 assists. He had eight games with at least two goals in 2011.
Tough Defense• After posting a stout 8.33 goals-against-average last season, fifth-year senior Tim McCormack is backstopping the UMass defense to another outstanding campaign. In 11 games, the Minutemen have yet to yield double-figure goals to opponents and have forced more turnovers in every game but three. For the year, UMass is forcing opponents into an average of 15.3 turnovers per game.• Fellow close defenders Tom Celentani (19 groundballs, 13 caused turnovers) and Greg Anderson (17 groundballs, 3 caused turnovers) and Jake Smith (17 groundballs, 6 caused turnovers) anchor the nation's 3rd-best ranked defensive unit.• UMass' man-down defense was strong in 2011, allowing just 21.2 percent on the year. Opponents had just 11 goals on 52 opportunities. That ranked 10th in the NCAA. UMass ranks 25th this year allowing opponents to go 13-for-43 (30.2) on man-up advantages.
Face-Off Aces• UMass' tag-team duo of seniors Greg Rushing and Anthony Toresco were stellar on face-offs in 2011 winning 51.7 percent of of its draws to rank 21st in the NCAA. The pair continues to be successful for the Minutemen in 2012. Toresco leads UMass going 82-of-128 (64.1%) with 44 groundballs. Rushing is 33-of-53 (62.3%) on faceoffs with a team-best 52 groundballs.• Toresco leads the CAA in faceoff win percentage and ranks 6th nationally. As a team, UMass ranks 5th in the NCAA in faceoff win percentage (59.8%).
Lucky Numbers 10, 11, 13• When scoring 11 goals or more, UMass has won 64 of its last 66 games, a 96.9 win percentage. Last season, UMass had six games with 11-plus goals, all wins. The Minutemen had at least 11 goals in the first eight games of the 2010 season with a 6-2 record.• UMass had won 45 games in a row when scoring 11 or more goals until falling at Yale, 13-12 on March 5, 2010. The Minutemen also lost to Harvard, 14-13 last season on March 13, marking the most goals UMass scored in a loss since a 16-15 defeat to Delaware on April 15, 1995. UMass had won 67 games in a row when scoring 13 or more goals.• UMass is 55-3 in its last 58 games when scoring double-figures, (95.3 win percentage). UMass was a perfect 7-0 last year when reaching 10, with wins over Hartford, Ohio State, Providence, Saint Joseph's, Drexel, Delaware and Penn State. In 2010, UMass posted an 8-2 record when scoring 10 or more. UMass had won 29 games in a row when scoring 10 or more goals, but that streak was snapped with a 11-10 loss to Hofstra on Feb. 21, 2009. The Minutemen were 29-0 when scoring 10 or more goals from 2004-09. Prior to the loss at Hofstra, the last loss when scoring 10 goals came on May 1, 2004, a 17-10 loss at Syracuse.).

Technically, the authority to take applications for U.S. Park Police (USPP) jobs expires at the end of January. But since the National Park Service (NPS) still hasn't officially gotten approval from the Office of Management & Budget to continue using it or an updated version, USPP can and will continue to use the old form.
NPS is announcing in the Federal Register of Monday, Jan. 27 that it is opening another comment period on a revised form. For details, see http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-01-27/html/2014-01455.htm. NPS proposed a revised form for public comment last August. For details, see the story linked to below.
The new public comment period lasts until Feb. 26.
Applicants for officer positions with the force must complete USPP Form 1 (USPP Personal History Statement). USPP gets about 2,500 applications a year.
NPS proposed no changes to the form but seeks suggestions once again. Nobody wrote after the call last August. It takes about eight hours to fill out the application, so now's the last chance to suggest ways to streamline it, clarify it or drop unnecessary questions.

Canada's Monetary Policy & Fiscal Policies
Original post by Walter Johnson of Demand Media
Canada is one of the more fiscally successful industrialized countries in the world. Its external debt is low, and it regularly has a surplus, both at the federal and provincial level. Canada's commodity production, such as oil and metal, has much to do with this success. It also does not need to maintain huge military forces around the globe as the U.S. does, and hence, has far more freedom in its fiscal policy than the U.S.
Public Works
Canada has long stressed public investment in infrastructure. In 2008, the Ministry of Finance announced that it was putting more than $30 billion into infrastructure and other public works. At the same time, given increasing concern about the dollar, the Ministry of Finance also announced a massive set of tax decreases on small businesses, the sales tax and personal income taxes. The point was to free up domestic resources for productive investment.
Because Canada has substantial budget deficits, and its external debt is the lowest among the G7 countries, cutting taxes is a fairly easy project for the country. It is clear, however, that the slow recovery of the American economy means that the Canadian government may have to run small, temporary deficits in order to finance the infrastructure and tax cuts required to jump start the Canadian economy. If the Canadian economy continues its growth, then the tax cuts will easily pay for themselves through increased economic activity. Therefore, the basic fiscal policy of Canada is expansionist in that it wants to increase domestic spending, but to do so in an environment that does not increase deficits. Only a growing economy can accomplish both of those things.
Like most central banks, the Bank of Canada has controlling inflation as its main, almost singular, policy goal. In general, the Bank of Canada wants to see inflation consistent at 2 percent each year, with only a 1 percent change either positive or negative in the event of an economic emergency. The goal is for the inflation rate to not go higher than 3 percent, and never lower than 1 percent.
The proper allocation of domestic resources is the more general goal of the Bank of Canada. If firms need to incorporate threats of higher inflation into all their contacts, this means that capitalization of industry and banking must increase. Under normal circumstances, this capitalization is wasteful, especially in an economy that is basically optimistic about its future. Even with this clear policy goal, however, the Bank of Canada has assisted the Canadian government in restructuring any investment that is not backed by any capitalization measure. Learning from the mistakes of the American and European banks, the Bank of Canada has refused to permit risky loans to be under-capitalized. In other words, the only time when high capitalization requirements are necessary is for loans that are risky, the same type of loans that damaged the American financial establishment.

> Taxes
With the increasing size and complexity of Canada's tax code and
accounting standards' manuals, it's almost impossible for ordinary
Canadians to stay abreast of the rules that underpin their financial
While almost half of all Canadians still manage to
fill out their tax returns themselves, there's no guarantee they
do so in a way that minimizes the tax they pay. As a result, more
and more of us use accountants to help out.
But finding a good accountant is easier said
than done. A good one can cost a fortune -- ranging from $30 to
$400 an hour -- and there are so many designations, it's hard to
figure out who specializes in what. And because of the complex work
accountants do, it's hard for a non-professional to evaluate their
performance. That means learning how to choose the right person
is crucial.
The country's three professional accounting bodies
-- the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants, the Society
of Certified Management Accountants of Canada and the Certified
General Accountants Association of Canada -- are in a never-ending
turf war, often trying to be all things to all people.
The good news is that to be a member of any one of
the three professional bodies, you need at least one university
degree, including numerous accounting courses, and to have completed
rigorous professional exams. Tax training is also typically included.
But each organization interprets the capabilities and competencies
of its members broadly, so the qualifications you seek will depend
on what you want your accountant to accomplish.
Chartered Accountants (CAs)
As a group, chartered accountants are arguably the best trained of all the accounting professionals. Although almost any accountant or bookkeeper can prepare a set of financial statements for an individual or small business, CAs have traditionally been the only accountants who are allowed to audit and sign those statements, certifying that they have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (GAAP). But in recent years, certain provincial bodies, notably Alberta, have given greater flexibility to CMAs and CGAs to audit financial statements, the vast majority continue to be handled by CAs. CAs also develop the nation's generally accepted accounting and auditing standards.
That said, although all of Canada's CAs have completed
an apprenticeship in public practice, only about 40 percent of them
work with the public; the rest work either in the private sector,
government or education. Because of their training, CAs are, as
a rule, the most expensive of all accountants. If you are thinking
about hiring a CA, you should make sure he has a lot of recent experience
dealing with the public, especially with smaller accounts.
Certified Management Accountants
Canada's 37,000 certified management accountants generally work
within large organizations such as private businesses, government
departments and not-for-profit groups. They monitor, interpret and
communicate operating results, evaluate performance, control operations
and make decisions about the strategic direction of an organization.
While CMAs don't generally work in private practice,
most of them should have the basic training to help a self-employed
person or small business owner handle his books, prepare his returns
and complete regulatory filings.
As with CAs, don't hire a CMA for her designation
alone. Make sure she has experience working with people like you,
and try to get at least three references.
Certified General Accountants
Certified General Accountants are a bit of a mixed bag, with many
working in business, education and government. That said, a significant
portion of Canada's CGAs work with the public, mostly with individuals,
the self-employed and small business owners.
Ask your friends, get referrals
For most Canadians, an accountant's reputation and the rapport you
have with him are far more important to establishing a beneficial
relationship than a professional designation.
Even the best-trained accountant can't perform well
if he considers you too small a customer to be worth his while,
so look for someone who deals with individuals, not big businesses.
A good flow of information between accountant and
client is crucial to ensuring the relationship works. Look for someone
who will take the time to listen to and answer your questions, rather
than the guy who grabs your shoebox full of receipts and rushes
you out of his office.
If your affairs are not overly complicated, your best
bet is to ask your friends who they work with. Your friends will
likely have many of the same needs as you, and a good reference
gets you halfway there.
That said, talk to at least three accountants before
choosing one. The mere act of shopping for an accountant will give
you the opportunity to get lots of free advice because accountants,
like most businesspeople, will never have as much time for you as
when they are trying to sign you up as a client.
Take a bookkeeping course
The best advice for any Canadian is to try, as much as possible,
to be your own accountant. Learn the bookkeeping, budgeting and
record keeping basics. Read at least enough about taxation to able
to ask your accountant the right questions and to do a quick verification
of your tax returns to make sure he made all the basic deductions.
Research and anecdotal evidence shows that people
who understand finance and manage money well -- even if they don't
have a lot of it -- are happier than those who don't. So go out
and hire an accountant to perform tasks that you can't. But also
take a little time to learn how to manage your own financial affairs.
It'll be the best time investment you'll ever make.

A "mini-Eaton Centre" is planned for the fashionable King West district in Toronto, according to a source familiar with the development.
The source confirmed to BNN that Riocan, Canada's biggest Real Estate Investment Trust in partnership with Allied Properties REIT, are close to finalizing a deal for the purchase of "the Globe lands," prime real estate at the corner of Front Street and Spadina Avenue.
The plan is to build "about 500,000 square feet of fairly unique and high end" retail. The source said the stores wouldn't be quite as exclusive as Bloor Street West, but more tony than Toronto's Queen Street West.
The King West area has rapidly become one of Toronto's most sought after addresses, with restaurants and condos targeted to a young and prosperous demographic.
According to the source, the retailers interested in leasing space in the new development are those from the United States and Europe, as well as Canadian. The project will also include office and residential buildings and possibly a boutique hotel given the success of the nearby Thompson Hotel. Zoning and plans are not yet in place, but the source says "they will both unfold next year."
The Globe and Mail reported earlier this week that Riocan and Allied Properties were in talks to buy the property after Mattamy Homes pulled out of an agreement to buy the lands, which had been targeted for a condominium development.
The Globe is moving to a new building being constructed nearby.
