For CEO, Coke Needs the Real Thing
By Dean Foust
In an age where being the CEO of a well-known company confers celebrity status, Douglas Daft never seemed to be all that comfortable as the man heading Coca-Cola (KO ). Ever since the soft-drink giant's star-studded board -- led by billionaire investor Warren Buffett and investment banker Herbert Allen -- named Daft to succeed the embattled M. Douglas Ivester in late 1999, the longtime Asia executive seemed ill at ease in the position. As the search for his successor intensifies, Coke's board likely won't soon forget Daft's uneasiness.
For the first year-and-a-half at Atlanta headquarters, Daft often lamented to confidants that he had never sought the CEO job and, more important, that he had never been groomed for it. Having risen through the ranks of Coke's business in Asia, he never much cared for Atlanta as a city -- or for headquarters politics, for that matter.
Insiders say he mused in private that he wasn't sure which other executives he could trust -- and which ones might be intent on undermining his bold efforts to redo much of Ivester's handiwork. Ex-accountant Ivester focused on core brands like Coke Classic, Sprite, and Fanta, with a goal of building an efficient distribution network that optimized profits.
Daft wanted to tear down this finance-first mentality and build a leaner company that would simply give consumers whatever it was they wanted to drink. Headquarters was "a hall of mirrors," says one former executive. "There were a number of warring camps, and it wasn't always clear who was on your side."
When the board decided in late 1999 that Ivester had to go, Daft looked like an appealing candidate: His success at pumping out alternative drinks such as canned coffees in Asia was appealing at a time when consumers in the U.S. were starting to shift away from soft drinks toward bottled water and New Age juices.
And the board believed that Daft had the mettle to carry out the heavy downsizing that Coke directors felt was necessary to reduce the bureaucracy that had developed under Ivester. But over time, Daft's lack of preparation began to show. With his professorial style, the Australia native didn't always project leadership at a time when Coke was battling against a never-ending series of crises -- including a lawsuit by a whistleblower, an Securities & Exchange Commission investigation into its accounting, as well as stiff competition from a host of feisty competitors ranging from Red Bull Energy Drinks to archrival PepsiCo (PEP ) that left Coke struggling to meet its profit goals. Coke stock has been trading for months at around $50, off its 52-week high of $66.80 last June.
Daft preferred to spend his weeks jetting around the globe to meet with large customers, Coke bottlers, and regulators. That helped mend relations with key players that had been ruptured under Ivester. But it also meant the CEO was rarely around when his management team needed him to approve decisions.
"It's fine to play roving ambassador," notes one former Coke executive. "But when you've got a CFO, chief marketing officer, and a chief technical officer back at headquarters waiting to push the button on important matters, then you've got a problem."
In Daft's absence, some of these other executives began calling Coke's star-studded board to vet decisions -- a trend that only increased the board's concerns over Daft's management, sources tell BusinessWeek Online. As these concerns escalated, Daft announced on Feb. 19 his plans to retire by yearend.
Still, his departure only creates a new problem for Coke: Who should succeed him? Daft's efforts to transform Coke led to an exodus of executives. Some were downsized out of their jobs in restructuring, while others didn't see eye-to-eye with Daft.
As a result, Coke now has a much thinner bench that it had when Daft took over. And sources say Coke's board has concerns that the only real internal candidate, President Steven Heyer, may not be ready to assume the job. The major worry: Heyer has an aggressive, impatient management style that made him a good complement to Daft, but he may not be well suited to the challenges ahead, according to sources close to the board. (Daft and Heyer both declined to comment for this story.)
So who succeeds Daft? The sell-side analysts who cover Coke are lobbying it to simply anoint Heyer -- and avoid the inevitable months of uncertainty that could drag down the stock. Shortly after Daft announced his plans to depart Coke, Andrew Conway, beverage analyst at Credit Suisse First Boston, told clients in a memo that Heyer "is ideally qualified for the CEO position," noting that he "has built tremendous goodwill with the global bottling system" that an outsider can't match.
Coke insiders worry, however, that if the board ultimately selects Heyer after having looked outside for a successor, that might weaken Heyer's credibility by suggesting he wasn't the board's first pick. And if Coke's directors learned anything when they selected their last CEO, it's the importance of having an executive who not only wants the job but has the confidence of everyone -- employees included -- in the vast Coke machine. This head hunt could take awhile.

Tom Engelhardt : Neocons Playing at WarRoundup: Historians' Take
[T]he neocon utopians who dreamed up our distinctly unpeaceful Pax Americana in deepest, darkest Washington and out of whole cloth seem to have imagined global military domination as something akin to the board game Risk. They too were, after a fashion, Risk managers, seeing themselves rolling the dice for little weapons icons (most of which they controlled), oil-well icons (which they wanted) and strategic-country icons (which they needed). They were consummate game players. It just so happens our planet isn't a two-dimensional gameboard, but a confusing, bloody, resistant, complex place that exists in at least three dimensions, all unexpected.
I mean if you think I'm kidding -- about children playing games -- just remember that we have a President who, according to the Washington Post's Bob Woodward, keeps a"scorecard" in his desk drawer with the names/faces and personality sketches of al Qaeda adversaries (and assumedly Saddam) and then X's them out as they're brought in"dead or alive." Think tic-tac-toe here.
The president and his men, in short, have been living in a fantasy world that makes The Lord of the Rings look like an exercise in reality. Even before the Iraq war, this was worrisome to the adults who had to deal with them. This is why there was so much opposition within the top ranks of the military before the war; this was why there was no Pentagon planning whatsoever for the post-war moment (hey, you've just won the Iraq card in your game, now you fortify and move on); this was why, for instance, General Anthony Zinni, Vietnam veteran and former CentCom commander, who endorsed young George in the 2000 race, went into opposition to the administration; this is why a seething"intelligence community" has been in near revolt after watching our fantasists rejigger"intelligence" to make their"turn" come out right; this is why our great"adventure" in the Middle East pitched over into the nearest ditch.
2004 should be a fierce holding action for them. The question is -- as with Richard Nixon in 1972 -- can they make it through to November before the seams start to tear. They might be able to. But here's the thing: Sooner or later, the children will leave the stage and some set of adults will have to start picking up the pieces. If the 2004 election is theirs, however… well, sometimes there are just things, our planet included, too broken to fix.

While I am not a fan of our current president or the war in Iraq, I am disgusted with immature dismissals of the administration's goals and the intellectual capacity of its leaders. First and foremost, your commentary belittles the administration and paints the leadership of our country as children, unable or unwilling to see the consequences of their actions. Rather than attempting to *gasp* understand a viewpoint other than your own, you simply dismiss it as childish, stupid and ignorant. This you-don't-agree-with-me-and-therefore-you're-dumb logic masquerades as intelligent commentary when, in actuality, it's nothing more sophisticated than the logic of children. Ironic.
In a larger issue, why does the academy ignore its pre-war ramblings that the government needed to do more to intervene on behalf of Afghani women? Why do we ignore the fact that Saddam Hussein was actually a horrible dictator and the Iraqi people are undeniably better off now that he's gone? Why do we simply dismiss the administration when they are clearly acting out a logical agenda, albeit one we may disagree with?
On a side note, the term neo-conservative implies that the person in question was, at one time, a liberal. Used first in the 1930s and popularized in the 1960s, neo-cons are socially liberal folk who support war. Attaching the label neo-con to the administration devalues the term, as 90% of conservatives would be transformed into neo-cons.

Carlyle aiming for pan-alternatives outsourcing
The Carlyle Group LP is bulking up to capitalize on what it sees as a growing trend — outsourcing alternatives portfolios.
Carlyle Group is the first alternative investment manager to set up a group to invest across multiple asset classes using third-party funds in addition to its own.
Other alternative firms such as The Blackstone Group LP, Apollo Global Management LLC and KKR & Co. LP are investing sizable discretionary separate accounts for institutional investors, also called strategic accounts and separately managed accounts. But Carlyle is the first to span multiple strategies and managers.
Carlyle's offering will be much broader than a typical fund of funds that invests only in third-party funds in a single asset class or strategy. This puts Carlyle at the vanguard of firms invading consultants' turfs.
This one-stop-shop strategy "plays off the trend of outsourcing," said David Fann, president and CEO of TorreyCove Capital Partners, San Diego, a private equity consulting firm.
"The first wave was outsourced CIO; it is logical that the second wave of outsourcing will be the alternative investments as it requires expertise, access, and a harder to recruit skill set," Mr. Fann said.
In its new business unit, dubbed Carlyle global solutions, Carlyle executives say they are getting ahead of a wave in which investors will be handing over large chunks of their alternative investments portfolios. Carlyle will have discretion to invest across private equity, real estate and hedge funds — in Carlyle funds and third-party funds. (Carlyle executives would not identify the firms with which they plan to invest.) Coming soon, Carlyle expects to add energy and infrastructure to that mix.
"We are one of the very few asset managers that combines private equity, real estate and hedge fund-of-funds capabilities," said Jacques Chappuis, managing director and head of Carlyle global solutions in New York. "The advantage (for the client) is to manage a portfolio with a common objective where we have the ability to manage across asset classes."
To build its new solutions group, the Washington-based alternatives investment firm went on a buying spree. Just last month, Carlyle announced it was acquiring Diversified Global Asset Management, a hedge funds-of-funds firm, and closed on its acquisition of Metropolitan Real Estate Equity Management, a real estate funds-of-funds firm, that was announced in September.
"One of the reasons we wanted to have all three capabilities … was to structure a portfolio that is geared to meeting an investor's objectives," said Mr. Chappuis, who also serves on Carlyle's management and operating committees. "You have one entity that manages the entirety of the portfolio with a single set of goals."
And it's not done yet. Carlyle is shopping for energy and infrastructure investment management executives who will build out a real assets unit to be part of AlpInvest Partners, the private equity funds-of-funds firm it acquired two years ago and serves as is the cornerstone of its new group.
Earlier this year, the $28 billion Indiana Public Retirement System, Indianapolis, committed $150 million to Carlyle for an in-state portfolio that will invest across private equity funds, real assets and credit investments.
Not all buying
But not all investors are buying the thesis.
Bob Jacksha, chief investment officer, of the $10.4 billion New Mexico Educational Retirement Board, Santa Fe, said his initial response to the idea of outsourcing a large chunk of the pension fund's alternative investment portfolio is "not interested."
"We prefer to control asset allocation ourselves," he said.
The one portfolio in which the pension fund does allow managers wide latitude is global tactical asset allocation, but those investments tend to be more liquid, he noted.
"I do not see us ceding control of strategic asset allocation decisions to outside parties." Mr. Jacksha said.
One concern would be conflicts of interest, particularly if the firm is investing in its own funds, he said. "Would they be allocating to high-fee funds? Funds that are having a hard time raising capital?" Mr. Jacksha asked, adding that other potential conflicts likely would exist.
Carlyle's offering will be broader than many other firms offering strategic accounts, in that it will be offering more asset classes in a single portfolio. It is most similar to the tactical opportunity accounts of New York-based Blackstone Group, but even there Carlyle is setting itself apart.
Blackstone's tactical opportunity investment vehicles are separate accounts for large institutions to invest across Blackstone's four major investment businesses: real estate, hedge funds, credit and private equity. But to avoid conflicts of interest, Blackstone's tactical opportunity separate accounts only invest in strategies that don't fit Blackstone's other investment vehicles because of size, return thresholds or other restrictive criteria, Stephen A. Schwarzman, founder, chairman, CEO and director of Blackstone, said in a Pensions & Investments interview last year, at around the time the strategy was launched.
Blackstone had raised $3.52 billion in commitments for tactical opportunity accounts as of Sept. 30, according to its third-quarter report filed with the SEC.
Some of Blackstone's multiasset class mandates have been relatively narrow. For example, in November, the $160.7 billion New York State Common Retirement Fund, Albany, committed $500 million to a Blackstone tactical opportunities separate account that will focus on alternative credit.
Carlyle, however, is not only investing in its own funds but is also making investments on the secondary markets and in co-investments alongside other managers' funds.
By offering other managers' funds in addition to its own, Carlyle appears to be trying to clear one of the hurdles that has stopped some investors from hiring a single manager for a large portion of their alternative investment portfolios: If investors outsource their entire alternative portfolio to a single general partner, they risk either losing access to a number of other general partners or making the wrong choice, consultants say.
This new outsourcing wave is occurring at a time when managers are seeking more discretion from investors in exchange for lower fees within the strategic account context.
In the alternatives investment world, a lot of different types of offerings are being grouped under the headings of separate accounts or strategic accounts, said Mario Giannini, CEO of alternative investment consulting and money management firm Hamilton Lane Advisors LLC, Bala Cynwyd, Pa.
"Many of the ones that we've seen ... appear to be an umbrella structure to put money in the (general partners') funds, but have the umbrella structure essentially to provide discount pricing," he said. "The (limited partner) gets a cheaper price and the GP gets larger capital amounts and, often, the ability to 'seed' new products or products that don't otherwise sell as well."
Discretion to invest across asset classes and segments is a key components of Carlyle's strategy.
"The significant advantage of the model is we can move capital around to where we see the greatest opportunities," Mr. Chappuis said.
Investors have the final say on the program's design.
"There are several ways to structure the portfolios. Investors can put in parameters … The portfolio can be structured so we have bounds, but a mechanism is set up in case we want to move beyond those bounds," Mr. Chappuis said.
These portfolios do have their allure. Aside from attractive fee breaks, they give investors exposure to investments that don't fit neatly in their alternative investment categories.
"The thesis for tactical opportunity investment programs is to allow investors to move nimbly across multiple asset classes and exploit opportunities that proprietary trading desks of commercial banks used to invest in, but could no longer, due to the Volcker rule," TorreyCove's Mr. Fann said.
"Most of these investment opportunities do not directly fit or overlap with their main private equity or real estate fund vehicles."
While many of the limited partners considering these broad investments are large investors, Mr. Fann said these "one-stop solutions" are best suited for smaller investors with constrained resources and tight investment budgets.
"Properly executed, it should allow the investor to benefit from the best thinking of a firm and respond quickly to mispriced investment opportunities," Mr. Fann said.

Breckenridge, Colorado rides high on a great combination of rolling mountain backdrops, an exhaustive list of activities and a cozy ski town atmosphere. Located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Breckenridge Ski Resort was once a booming mining town of the Old West. However, it's not all snow and skis in the wider area every season of the year offers family-friendly events, from film festivals to its very own Oktoberfest. There are also numerous ways to step into nature, and tours through the stately Breckenridge Historic District. From hot air ballooning to white water rafting, you'll never run out of activities in this slope-side resort.
With around 25 feet of snow in the colder months, Breckenridge can't help but look and feel especially atmospheric in the winter, and whether you're into ice skating, dog sledding or straightforward downhill skiing, the town has much to offer. The snowy backcountry is peppered with Mountain Division Huts, which intrepid vacationers can use to plan a snowshoe hike or cross-country ski. Don't neglect the après-ski either: 75 restaurants run the gamut from fine sushi dining to Alpine-style coffee houses, as well as classic pub fare. Many of the hotel resorts, like Beaver Run, also offer a number of late-night hangouts.
Come in the summertime to see that sweeping Rocky horizon in full color. Breckenridge Summer Fun Park offers power trampolines, mountain biking, rock climbing walls, a human maze and a miniature golf course, while Country Boy Mine Tours gives visitors a glimpse of the town's mining history. The fast-paced action continues with summer dog sledding, whitewater rafting and zip -lining. In addition, the Breckenridge Beaver Course is a championship-designed golf course for those craving an 18-hole adventure.
This festival is a wild ride through Viking and Norse culture, on the other side of the Atlantic. From comedy night, parades and a bonfire to the crazily-themed Ullympics, the laughs keep coming during this memorable January week.
In an ode to all things German, Breckenridge celebrates Oktoberfest with beer, sausage, polka music, traditional German apparel and Bavarian dancers. This is also a great time to see vibrant autumn colors in the area.
Christmas and the surrounding holidays are a big deal in this postcard-perfect mountain town. The holidays begin with the Race of the Santas, when scores of Santas run down Main Street. During the Lighting of Breckenridge, streets are aglow as Santa greets children from his sleigh. The Dew Tour, seen on nationwide television, showcases the best in snowboarding and skiing talent. New Year's is rung in with a parade, a concert and fireworks.
This summer event celebrates everything about cycling, and includes children's lessons, backwoods biking, group rides and free bike tune-ups. With dozens of trails, there is a lot of terrain to explore.
Situated deep in the Rockies, Breckenridge does not have its own airport. Instead, most visitors fly into the Denver International Airport (DEN), which is an hour and a half drive to the east. There are plenty of buses to transport visitors from the airport to Breckenridge every day. Another option is the smaller Colorado Spring Airport, also a 90-minute drive. Visitors who choose to arrive entirely by driving can easily find Breckenridge just 15 miles south of Interstate 70.
The high-alpine climate in Breckenridge is what gives the town so much snow throughout the winter, and cool, dry air during the summer. In fact, the town gets over 150 inches of snow on average each year. At nearly 10,000 feet above sea level, Breckenridge is definitely in the midst of the mountains, yet it is low enough to have beautifully wooded areas as well. Summer highs never get above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, with mid-summer averages hovering around 70. The average low during winter nights is zero; however, winter days typically warm up to around 30 degrees, creating ideal skiing weather.

The Juneau School Board has selected Lisa Worl to finish out the term of Kim Poole, who recently resigned.
The board Tuesday night voted for Worl, who was among six candidates for the seat, including two who had run in the fall municipal election.
All six were interviewed by the board on Monday. At Tuesday's meeting, members cast two secret ballots – the first for their top three choices, then a runoff ballot.
Worl competed against Myrna Gardner, Janice Hotch, Jennifer LaRoe, Michelle Johnston and Will Muldoon. Johnston and Muldoon were among five candidates who ran for the board in the October election.
Worl has been on the Auke Bay Elementary and Floyd Dryden Middle School site councils, a substitute teacher and classroom volunteer. She also served two years on the school board's Budget Advisory Committee.
She will be sworn in at the first meeting in January, as the new budget committee begins its work. Worl says the work of the expanded committee – which includes members from each school site council – is crucial to the budget process.
"It's really important to get that input throughout because the decisions are going to be very difficult," Worl says. "We've had to cut so much – nearly $4 million last year and it's getting very, very challenging and it will be a painful process. Nobody wants their programs cut and they're all very important."
Worl says it is likely she would run for the school board seat next fall, when her short term is up.

Biden: How wonderful to have a job where I don't do anything!
posted at 8:48 am on February 26, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
God love ya, Joe Biden. You make it so easy to lampoon you — and by extension the man who chose you — that pundits really should demand a Biden Appreciation Day. Yesterday, C-SPAN microphones picked up the Vice President off camera outside the health-care summit explaining the virtues of Vicing (via Jammie Wearing Fool):
Just moments before the afternoon session got underway, C-SPAN's cameras picked up audio of Biden chatting casually with participants.
"It's easy being vice president — you don't have to do anything."
Whomever Biden was chatting with said, "It's like being the grandpa and not the parent."
"Yeah, that's it!" replied Biden.
Biden's spokesperson later insisted to Politico that the Veep was "obviously joking," and talked about Biden's speeches and travels, as well as his report to Barack Obama on the first year's successes with Porkulus. That last task would have easily fit into the President's coffee break, and traveling and speaking don't mean a whole lot in terms of actually governing.
The one destination mentioned, Iraq, is more a reminder of why we should be thrilled that Biden doesn't actually do anything. If Biden had been in charge in 2006, he would have pressed to partition Iraq into three autonomous enclaves, a solution that the Iraqis refused to even consider. We're all better off with Biden as Grampa rather than Dad.

Round-Up: Gov. Romney visits CO; Portion of State Highway 67 closes due to bridge damage

Governor Mitt Romney unveiled a plan for middle class America today in Jefferson County. Romney used the speech to fire back at President Barack Obama, who has made Romney's personal wealth a front and center issue in the race to the White House. Bente Birkeland reports…
A stretch of State Highway 67 between Florence and Wetmore remains closed after heavy rains this week damaged a bridge near Wetmore. Colorado Department of Transportation spokesman Bob Wilson says engineers have been out to the site, where the bridge sank about five feet below the actual roadway.
"The supports under the bridge loosened up with the heavy rain activity that we had. They were already a little bit on the loose end, but not to the point where it raised any red flags for us, or a situation where we needed to close the highway in advance."
Wilson says thru traffic will need to use a detour, but local traffic can still access most of the highway.

text: Greetings to all. I am about to jump into a whole new area for myself - performance modifications on a fuel injected, computer controlled vehicle. I have a great deal of experience on carb'd motors, but I will be looking for advice on this one. I have acquired an all original, mint condition 1995 Chevy 2500 2w.d. pickup with a 5.7 automatic, and 49,000 original miles, in victory red, no less. The interior still smells new, and it has never been parked outside. I live in the rust belt of New Hampshire, and you can still see the grease pencil marks on the inner body panels from the factory. Couldn't pass it up. Anyone out there who has done anything similar and who can tell me how the computer works with cam changes, etc. and is willing to pass it on, i would be grateful. I will be posting pics.of the truck as soon as I can figure out how to do it. Thanks in advance

Hundreds take the plunge
Story and photos by JEFFREY POWELL
A stiff southeast wind, high surf conditions and cool temperatures did little to detour the spirits of approximately 200 area visitors and locals alike that started off 2011 by taking a plunge in the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday morning, Jan. 1. The fourth annual Polar Bear Plunge was sponsored by Watercolor Inn and Resort and was held just behind the facility. As the 9 a.m. start time approached swimmers shed their sweat shirts and prepared to take the plunge in the 55-degree water. Most of the participants did not dally long in the gulf and returned to their towels and warm clothing with great haste. There were as many reasons for participating in the day's event as there were people involved but Oxford, Miss., Dr. William Henderson explained it this way.
"Why do men climb mountains, because they are there. That is the reason I took this swim, because it is here," he said. "It did take your breath away but it was not as bad as I thought it would be. It is also a bit of friendly competition with my friend. Mostly though it is just fun."
After the swim, most of the participants flocked around containers filled with hot chocolate provided by Watercolor. Many of the swimmers also purchased a T-shirt proving they had taken the plunge.
"We are very excited with today's turnout," said Watercolor Director of Sales and Marketing Jennifer Haynes Williams. "This is a unique way for people to start out the new year together. It brings people together on the beach."

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Saxon Mortgage company, have no real interest in helping homeowners stay in their home. Their goal I believe is to create barrriers to helping homeowners achieve success with remodification or refinance, threaten foreclosure and force home owners to file for bankruptcy and lose their homes. Is there any government agency, politicians, consumer advocate, legal group or the president who could truly help homeowners fight against these predatory lenders? I am currently going through the threat of foreclosure and have done everything they asked, including providing documentation and payments. Payments they had accepted until recently. I have even worked with advocacy agencies like NACA and attended foreclosure workshops and spoken to their representatives. I have spoken to multiple telephone reps every week I make at least 4 calls.The telephone reps are for the most part robots and debt collectors whose job only is to tell you to pay with threat of foreclosure. The "ghost" individual who is assigned your case is never available, do not return calls. This person is always "travelling" on business, and never available when she states she will be in the office. Oddly, her extension X207727 I was informed is the same extension for the "Hope Now Dept.", this is a joke I would find funny, if it was not a serious situation. This person I believe does not exist!!! I believe the actions of this mortgage co. is a big "scam" and home owners suffers. Unfortunately, it appears that our politicians really do not care. Many of us are hardworking honest homeowners who are not looking for hand outs or "bailouts". WE WANT TO PAY OUR MORTGAGE AND STAY IN OUR HOMES. IS THERE ANY TRUSTWORTHY, GENUINE, HELP OUT THERE FOR HOMEOWNERS? PLEASE HELP! (Frustrated homeowner.... for now.)

Matt Damon is up against his "Behind the Candelabra" co-star, Michael Douglas, for the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie Emmy this year.
Despite his own nomination, the "Elysium" star says he's rooting for Michael come Emmy night.
"[I want] Michael [to win]. Really. I swear to you!" Matt told Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson at the "Elysium" junket in Los Angeles on Friday, when asked if he's hoping to win the Emmy himself for his role in the Liberace biopic, or if he wants Michael to take home the statue. "I really want him to [win]."
Not only does Matt believe Michael's performance as the flamboyant pianist deserves recognition, but the actor said the fact his co-star delivered such a powerful portrayal after defeating throat cancer is also award-worthy.
"It's just such a great story and given his recent years, to come back from [cancer] and to whoop cancer's ass, and then do that?" he explained. "He should have some kind of trophy, right?!"
PHOTOS: Hollywood's Hottest Dads & Their Little Ones
Matt and his wife, Luciana (as well as the couple's four daughters), moved to Los Angeles this week and the 42-year-old dad is happy he'll once again be living near his longtime friend and "Good Will Hunting" co-star, Ben Affleck.
"[We're on] the same street," he said. "I tried to get him to come back East for years and finally I just gave up and I was like, 'All right.'"
See Matt in "Elysium" - in theaters on Friday.

A large rockfall near Mount Aspiring has closed State Highway 6 south of Makarora until at least midday tomorrow.
NZ Transport Agency senior network manager John Jarvis said the 2000 cu m rockfall came down at 6am this morning about 15km south of Makarora.
The rockfall was roughly 50 metres long and 4-6m deep.
"We currently have a helicopter using a monsoon bucket to sluice away any remaining loose rock from the top of the rock fall site.
"This rock fall is larger than one two years ago about 100 metres further north."
The speed of the clearing work would depend on the size of the rocks, Mr Jarvis said. There were indications large slabs of rock were buried in the debris.
"We understand our customers will be inconvenienced by this situation and are making every effort to get at least one lane of the highway open as soon as it is safe to do so," Mr Jarvis said.
There was enough equipment and personnel on-site to begin removing debris as soon as it was safe to do so, he said.
Recent heavy rain was believed to have caused the rock fall.
There would be a further update on the highway closure at midday tomorrow.
The road also remained closed further west on the highway, at the Diana Falls slip site near Haast Pass, until at least tomorrow morning.

Hi, I'm a 25 year old Asian male. I had moderate - severe acne a few years back, took 1 course of accutane and haven't had a problem with acne since I was 22. My concern is with discolorations and acne scars (or both in the same place on my right cheek). I've seen a few different dermatologists and have gotten lots of different responses ranging from fraxel restore, subciscion, to filler injections etc. Based on these 4 pictures, what would be the right option for me to explore? Thanks
Best Method to Treat My Acne Scars? (photo)
Doctor Answers 3
Acne Scars and Treatment Options
Fraxel DUAL is a good option to look into for you. It's a non-ablative treatment that induces collagen remodeling. This will address both your acne scarring and discoloration for skin rejuvenation. It targets deeper layers of the dermis with the Erbium fiber component of the laser, which uses a 1,550-nanometer wavelength to normalize the collagen density. To refine the skin, the 1,927-nanometer Thulium fiber component is used. You can also it on darker skin tones.
Web reference: http://www.finetouchdermatology.com/acne-scars-and-treatment-options/
Asian American Skin-Consider Mixto fractional CO2
Combining the effectiveness of Carbon Dioxide lasers long known to be the GOLD STANDARD in wrinkle removal with an innovative "quadrant" fractional technology and a more tightly focused beam, the MiXto SX® laser delivers uniform tissue ablation to the dermis causing immediate contraction and tissue tightening. A secondary effect is the production of new collagen over the next 6-12 weeks. This advanced technology delivers powerful results without the harsh side effects and downtime of traditional CO2 resurfacing.
Web reference: http://foreveryoung.net/mixto-fractional-co2-laser.html
Acne Scars
For the rolling atrohpic scarring seen here, I would suggest a mix of CO2 fractional laser and fraxel laser through the FAST program. The program consists of treatments with both lasers in a 2-step progression helping with resurfacing the skin and rebuilding collagen. The CO2 would focus on indivial scars and the fraxel would help resurfae the entire face. With only a few days of downtime for each, it has permanent results. See the link for more information.

Its wet, windy, i'm tired, really not in the mood to go for a run. Just finished week 5 of the c210k programe so the runs are getting longer. I need motivation
I have just started week 8 of C210km I was tired tonight when I got home but I find that putting on my shorts and getting outside is the hardest part, once I'm on the move its fine! you also need a power tune on your playlist!
Agree with powertunes. Also I like the Zombies, Run! app for iPhone/Android - great for keeping you interested plus interval running. And podcasts are good too, Marathon Talk is very entertaining.
Thanks everyone, just back from doing 4 miles and i must say it was the most comfortable run i have had yet. loved the rain and felt like i could of run forever.
Best feeling in the world isn't it? Hope you continue loving the runs
the hardest part really is the first 5 feet, getting out the door.

Nora, there's no problem sending these bulbs within the US, except,
possibly to CA who have very strict plant moving laws because of the
danger of Med fruit flies and other ag. pests, as I understand it.
Don't think they monitor mail, but do know they have some checkpoints
at the borders of the state - at least I've heard that. If you are
concerned, you can probably find a list of prohibited plants on some
California gov't. site or other somewhere on the web:-) I think
there are some other states that have rules about plants having to be
sent bare root or something - the list of states that a lot of
nurseries won't ship to because they are such a pain to deal with.
Personally, I prefer Priority Mail for small packages of plants as
it gets there fast and is least expensive of the alternatives for 3
day delivery.
As far as I am aware, at this time, it is only illegal to send listed
noxious weeds around and those are listed on the USDA web site -
basically agricultural weeds, plant police idiocy notwithstanding.

Ice skaters, park visitors defy bitter cold temperatures
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - With school and a highly anticipated basketball tournament canceled due to the bitter cold, a group of five girls did the first thing that came to mind: they went ice skating.
"It's fun and it's for Devin's birthday party," said Caylee Dewitt, a sixth grader who was excited to use the ice rink despite single-digit temperatures.
On Wednesday, when the cold front first arrived, the temperatures closed the ice rink. It was open Thursday, but saw just six visitors. By Friday, the skate park saw close to one dozen in just a 30-minute stretch.
Many were ready to get out and do something fun, despite temperatures hovering around 0 degrees.
"I like school being canceled, but I like ice skating, too," said Carlee Redd.
The girls were some of many people out Friday. A handful of people tried visiting what is normally a tourism hot spot, Garden of the Gods Park.
"I think its good to be spontaneous," said Anna Rangel.
She's visiting Colorado Springs and decided to take a walk in the park to snap photos with her friend Felix Kovlyov.
"It is very different," said Kovlyov of the park. "I think a place like that you should be visiting all different times of year, rediscovering it over and over again."

Wisconsin Proposes Impeachment, Joining MN, IL, WA, CA, TX, VT, NM, MO

Boyle calls for Bush impeachment
Madison -- State Rep. Frank Boyle (D-Superior) wants to see President Bush impeached and will introduce a joint resolution saying that Bush has violated his oath of office.
Boyle said passage of the resolution would create "good cause" to launch impeachment proceedings; legislatures in six other states have introduced such resolutions, he said.
"President Andrew Johnson was impeached for firing someone and President Bill Clinton was impeached for lying about sex...President George W. Bush is guilty of far more reprehensible actions," Boyle said in a statement.
The resolution accuses Bush of spying on U.S. citizens without warrant, manipulating intelligence data to start the war against Iraq and leaking classified secrets to advance a political agenda, among other charges.
In Tuesday's elections, voters in Stoughton rejected a referendum question asking whether impeachment proceedings against Bush should begin on a 55% to 45% margin.

I need clarification. If there are seven States querying for impeachment, who and why are they being rebuffed? Are there any references in the Constitution that empowers the public majority to override the Speaker of the House or any Committees which may block the query? This is certainly a serious crevass which needs to be looked at. These resolutions ,and rightly so, appear and quickly are extinguished. Can someone enlighten me? Certainly our Forefathers had to have had the forsight to forsee a corruption or monopoly in Government process....
If there are seven States querying for impeachment, who and why are they being rebuffed?
Rebuffed because apparently people do not realize the war crimes implications. BOth parites are making excuss not to put the Constitution first; and putting their party agendas before the Constitution. Arguably, this is illegal and a violation of their oath of office.
Are there any references in the Constitution that empowers the public majority to override the Speaker of the House or any Committees which may block the query?
There is nothing in the Constitution which specifically addresses proclamations. However, Grand Juries can prosecute the Speaker if she refuses to fully assert her oath and blocks efforts to protect the Constitution or denies the states their right to an enforcement mechanism.
Short Answer
Yes, Grand Juries may prosecute the Speaker for war crimes if it is their view that she has blocked enforcement of the laws of war; or has not fully asserted her oath to fully protect the Constitution, or ensure the States are ensured their right to an enforcement mechanism. These are issues of alleged war crimes and 5 USC 3331 violations which all Members of Congress could be prosecuted. There is no statute of limitations; and the evidence of blocking state impeachments on proclamations could be admitted eternally for universal jurisdiction against all American civilians, leadership, Members of Congress, and prosecutors and attorney generals who refuse to fully do all they can to protect the Constitution and enforce the laws of war.
You asked who might be rebuffing these proclamations calling for impeachment. It appears the leadership in both the DNC and GOP are doing it. Kind of makes one wonder who at the local level is serious about their oath of office.
In my view, even if the GOP-DNC leadership block state level impeachments, the goal will have been met: The public will get the chance to see -- or, in this case, not see -- their government at work. Regardless what happens, the voters at the local level are going to get information on which local and federal officials are or are not fully asserting their oath; and this will give people at the local level information on who they can trust to do their business in government.
Efforts by the DNC and GOP leadership to block this impeachment proclamation effort may block the proclamation, but it will not do much good to stop the public from discussing what needs to be done to find more responsive leadership. It cannot be argued that leaders have "more important" things to do when the number one duty is to protect the Constitution.
American citizens are getting important information with this proclamation stonewall: Who is or is not serious about using all means to protect the Constitution. Local citizens can put pressure on their state attorney generals saying, "Hay, Congress and the State legislature are not acting; please prosecute the President as is permitted outside the impeachment process. Talk to Jonathan Turley, Prof of law at Georgetown how state attorney generals and grand juries to prosecute a sitting President outside Congress."
In the end, history will know: American citizens, not the US or state governments, ultimately took the bull by the horns and forced the leadership to go on the record: "Are they are are they not willing to put their oath of office before their loyalty to party or the President." Both the DNC and GOP leadership are sending a clear signal with the efforts to block the state proclamations calling for impeachment: "We are going to complain about the abuse of power, but do nothing to provide leadership to conduct investigations, impeach, or hold the President to account."
Whether Congress does or does not impeach is meaningless: The President does not get immunity from Congress, he remains subject not to Congress, but to the law. Congress, even if it decides to do nothing, cannot immunize the President from his oath compelling him to answer to only the law. The national and state leadership are pretending that if Congress does nothing, then all other things are irrelevant. Wrong. The National and state leadership have not looked at the other side of the equation: "If the leadership refuses to act, what options does the state and local citizenry have to protect the Constitution."
The choice is not between RNC abuse of power and DNC inaction; but between the Constitution and the President's illegal rebellion. The final answer is not what happens in 2008, but from this moment on: How will future generations -- including the electorate in 2008 -- choose to reconsider whether their leadership is or is not fully asserting their oath; and has the leadership really done all it can do to protect the Constitution.
The answer is clear, in my mind: Despite many options to protect the Constitution, both the GOP and DNC leaders at the federal and local levels have not done all they can. Arguably, this is a violation of their oath of office, 5 USC 3331. The way forward is to broaden the accountability and force the legal community to choose: Are they withe President; or are they with the Constitution. Those in the legal community -- especially Members of Congress who are members of the attorney bar -- who refuse to act, have an eternal problem: War crimes have no statute of limitations.
If Congress and the local leadership refuses to act on the state proclamation for impeachment it means going forward -- because there is no statute of limitations on war crimes -- state officials could as well be prosecute for having failed to enforce their oath of office and the attached Geneva Treaty obligations to ensure the Conventions are enforced.
More broadly, the sate proclamation effort to impeach also gives the public information on whether state officials are willing to act if there have been violations of the Constitutional guarantee to an enforcement mechanism. For there to be a Republic, the law must be enforced; yet, the Constitution, when it is not enforced, is not linked -- as it should -- with the required obligation to the sate to provide that enforcement mechanism. Again, the issue isn't the list of abuses that are not being addressed, but the list of fair warning that state officials need to act, but are not doing what they should to fully assert their oath.
Regardless what happens with the proclamations on impeachment, the way forward is to broaden the discussion and open the issue to the voting public in your local community: "Give the clear abuses, options, and possibility to do something, what do we as citizens need to discuss by way of finding new leaders, and holding the legal community responsible, when they have duties to act, but they refuse to do what they should." The way forward is to review the attorney standards of conduct, oaths of office, Geneva obligations of US officials, and explore the situations at Nuremberg where civilians refused to act to enforce the law.
Civilian leaders can be prosecuted for war crimes, especially when there are tools, options, and legal mechanisms to enforce the laws of war. The way forward is to again consider the larger issue: If these state proclamations are blocked by the DNC and GOP leadership, how can that active effort be documented,a and forwarded for purposes of adjudicating war crimes against state and federal civilian government officials. Because there is no statue of limitations, the efforts of the DNC and GOP in 2006-9 to blocking impeachment efforts and state proclamations on impeachment could be admitted into evidence as a fair showing of what the leadership knew their duties were; what they refused to support; and what they actively blocked.
Also, taking it one step further, in light of the DOJ e-mails in re the US Attorney firings, we've leaned the orchestrations behind the scenes to do things. Just as these e-mails were subpoenaed, so too can the GOP-DNC e-mails in re blocking the impeachment proclamations. Just as the DOJ e-mails were deleted, so too, my implication, are the e-mails showing the GOP and DNC blocking efforts to enforce the law, Geneva conventions, and the Supreme Law.
Because the GOP has -- as it appears -- destroyed evidence in re the GOP and DOJ e-mail efforts in re US Attorney firings, the same problem areas with the war crimes issues: To what extent e-mails showing the GOP and DNC leadership have blocked efforts to pass these impeachment proclamations to ensure the Conventions are not enforced. In so many words, the US Attorney e-mail deletions isn't just about US Attorneys, but about the larger evidence destruction linking US civilian officials at the state and local level to alleged evidence destruction in re war crimes and Geneva. Again, given Terr is no statue of limitations on war crimes, the issue with the state proclamations for impeachment and the DNC and GOP efforts to block those efforts, it means the e-mails documenting those planned stonewalling -- or the evidence of their destruction -- is further evidence in re alleged war crimes.
The question will be whether the US public decides to put this on the table, and -- outside Congress -- simply vote in 2008 saying: "Even if you block impeachment proclamations, we still expect the Grand Juries, DOJ, and US Attorneys and State Attorney generals to protect the Constitution, provide and enforcement mechanism, and ensure that all efforts to block accountability for these war crimes are also entered into evidence." I think the public is smart enough to put this together and make it clear to the civilian leadership and the state and local levels: "IF you don't support the Constitution, don't expect any sympathy from any Grand Jury reviewing alleged efforts to block enforcement of the Geneva Conventions." Nuremberg reminds us that even civil an leaders can be prosecuted and lawfully executed for failing to enforce the laws of war. The lines of evidence are broad, wide, and even state officials implicated in this alleged effort to block enforcement of Geneva could result in lawful executions -- after trial, of course -- of civilian party officials at the state level. It will take time; but the e-mail destruction, planning, and efforts to block enforcement of Geneva through the impeachment proclamation is a fair case to be made as was done at Nuremberg.

Apple Maps Calgary: Downtown Buildings Labelled As Gas Stations (PHOTO)
Someone in California took Alberta being the hub of oil and gas a little too literally. A recent post on Reddit, shows that Calgary's downtown office buildings, such as Petro-Canada and Enanca are labelled as gas stations.
"I had no idea how easy it was to get gas in downtown," user jpodster joked. Apparently we fill up our trucks right at company headquarters in Calgary.
Hopefully when Walt Wawra of #NoseHillGentlemen fame visits again, he doesn't drive into the Bow Tower looking to refuel his car. Cause that will really upset him.
Who knows, foreign investors might just be more attracted to Alberta if they're using Apple Maps. We seem to have an unreasonable amount of gas stations in the downtown core.
And this is hardly Apple Maps first mistake. In fact, they seem to be gaining a reputation for bloopers.
Here Are Some Apple Maps Bloopers From Around The World:
Apple was just as distraught as you when Woolworths shut down. So they brought it back. Our Price, Electronics Boutique and other defunct stores are also listed.
Apple removed public transport search from its new Map app - but included Aldwych Station which has been closed since 1994. And was never in Lincoln's Inn. Also, the Sir John Soane museum is not located in the Fields, but around the edge of the square.
Apple's new maps seem to not know that Shakespeare's birth place exists.
Apple has decided to stay out of the whole Falklands/Las Malvinas debate by removing all directions, roads and towns from the islands.
Apple has turned the ancient spires and colleges of Cambridge into a wasteland with its recent Maps app. And has moved Downing College from the outskirts of the town into the centre - miles from its actual location.
This greengrocers is listed on Apple's maps - but has been closed for 15 years.
This man's 35-acre city farm is named Airfield. It is not an Air Field - but Apple has decided otherwise.
The Apple store in Sydney is listed as being on the other side of the road than it really is. Oops.
The marina of St. Katherine's Dock is now filled with cement, according to Apple.
The town of Hagley is listed as being the town of Dudley - at least seven miles away.
The town of Uckfield is almost entirely missing from Apple's Maps.

Henry Vega, Flushings notorious drug dealer, last week was given the maximum sentence of 25 years to life for the 1996 murder of a Middle Village man after several members of the victims family rebuked the killer.
State Supreme Court Judge Randall Eng in Kew Gardens imposed the sentence on Vega, 35, for killing Tommy Hill in Kissena Park. On Nov. 5, 1996 Vega had lured Hill, 29, into the park, robbed him and killed him in a drug-related dispute over money, the Queens district attorney said.
It was Vegas fourth felony trial in as many years, and he is already serving a sentence of 92 years to life for selling more than a pound of cocaine to undercover police officers. Prosecutor Brad Leventhal called Vega a career criminal.
Before Eng handed down his sentence, members of Hills family were allowed to take the stand and speak directly to Tommy Hills killer.
Hes an animal, Robert Hill, the brother of Vegas victim told the court. Hes a predator. And thats all he is.
Robert Hill said he deserves every minute, every day, every minute you give him.
Tommy Hills father, John Hill, took the stand and stared at Vega.
I notice your mommy is here, he said, referring to Vegas mother who sat in the courtroom with some of his other relatives. You made a baby. Tom didnt have a chance to make a baby.
Vegas attorney, Jonathan Latimer III, objected to John Hills address to his client. But after conferring with Eng, John Hill was allowed to continue.
The father chastised Vega as a coward, referring to the prosecutions assertion that his son had been shot from behind.
Whos the tough guy who shot him in the back? asked John Hill.
Leventhal described the sequence of events that led to the death of Tommy Hill on Nov. 5, 1996. He said Tommy Hill, who was drunk, was lured into Kissena Park by Vega along with Alfred Augugliaro. Vega, whom Leventhal described as being familiar with Tommy Hill, told him to come into the park so that they could urinate.
The defendant used that trust, used that familiarity to kill Tommy Hill, said Leventhal.
Latimer was then given the chance to speak on behalf of his client.
Whatever the reason you choose to accept, law enforcement officers were out to get him, he said. I have never seen a weaker case in the prosecution of a homicide.
Leventhal called three witnesses who testified that Vega had told them that he had killed Tommy Hill. But Eng said he did not think Latimers argument was relevant.
The quality of the proof is something in the hands of the jury, the judge said.
Eng said the jurys guilty verdict differed from the outcome of Vegas trial for the 1987 murder of Police Officer George Scheu. Although Leventhal had shown a videotape in which Vega was shown confessing to the crime, the jury acquitted him in May 2001.
Vega declined to make any comments on his own behalf. The only time his voice was heard in the courtroom was when he quietly answered several yes or no questions.
The trial marked the second time Vega had been tried for the murder of Tommy Hill. In January, a trial in which the same witnesses appeared resulted in a hung jury, and Eng declared a mistrial.
Augugliaros trial for his alleged connection to Tommy Hills death was scheduled to begin Monday.
