THIS week's re-election of Sepp Blatter as FIFA president brought to light two basic truisms: not just of football, but of politics, media and governance.
The first essential point is that the amount a country cares about allegations of corruption is directly proportional to how much it felt screwed by FIFA in recent months and how recent that "screwing" was.
England, still furious at not being awarded the 2018 World Cup, led the way with its holier-than-thou indignation, with the US, another aggrieved party, not far behind.
Italy and Spain, still smarting from perceived refereeing injustices in 2002, were more contained in their anger, while Germany and Brazil, who had very little to complain about, FIFA-wise were more muted still.
Cynical as it may sound, it's like images of children dying of starvation. When they're at the end of your block, you spring into action and run out the front door to help. If they're in another part of the country, you grab the phone or jump online.
But when they're half-way around the world, you're saddened and angered but, heck, charity begins at home.
In 2002, FIFA was embroiled in allegations which, in many ways, were as bad as they are now. In fact, when you consider the clout certain FIFA bigwigs put behind their attempt to unseat Blatter, the situation was far more volatile than last week. You had FIFA's general secretary, Michel Zen-Ruffinen, releasing a 21-page dossier filled with allegations of mismanagement and corruption, suggesting that in excess of US$100 million (A$93.7 million) could not "be accounted for". You had five of seven vice-presidents demanding Blatter's ousting and rallying behind the other candidate, Cameroon's Issa Hayatou. And you had Farah Addo, a former delegate with the Somali FA, alleging Blatter had paid him a cash bribe.
What was the media coverage like? Relegated to the inside pages and "politics-of-football" columns. No parliamentary inquiries, no Prince William making proclamations, no general outrage of indignation. So make no mistake about it. We heard about this because we live in an anglo-centric world, at least when it comes to media coverage.
While it's right and just to make an ethical stand, the fact of the matter is that for most soccer fans or, indeed, clubs, what happens at the highest echelons of FIFA scarcely matters. You could have the love child of Tony Soprano and Kim Jong Il running the world's game and, odds are, few would notice the difference.
Why? Because apart from the odd discussion about video technology and the occasional quadrennial rant about referee appointments at World Cups, FIFA actually does very little to annoy its core constituents most of the time.
This means that, while in most of the developed world the image of FIFA has never been particularly good, in real terms they do very well to help the game's core constituents - clubs and fans - on a regular basis. And in much of the developing world, FIFA is actually moderately well-liked, partly because of Blatter initiatives like the "Goal Project" which hands out money to fund football-related development initiatives in cash-strapped corners of the globe. If you're a kid in Samoa or Benin and, thanks to FIFA, there's now a soccer pitch in your village, you'll likely be happy and grateful, without wondering whether people handed each other envelopes full of cash thousands of miles away. (Of course, a cleaner and more "transparent" FIFA would still deliver development money - probably more of it, in fact, and more efficiently and fairly - but the current patronage system ensures the "right" people at the "right" troughs continue to back the status quo.)
When people ask "how do they get away with it?" the answer is because most of their alleged "crimes" are victimless and because many see them as benefactors.
FIFA generates enormous amounts of money, partly by strong-arming other parties (the most glaringly obvious practice is to demand of host nations that they exempt FIFA activities and those of their official sponsors from taxation … a perk which, of course, allows FIFA to charge their sponsors even more) and partly by "owning" a commodity that everyone wants a piece of.
And most folks, unless they feel their nation has just been somehow screwed - whether it's hosting a World Cup or getting a referee they don't like - really don't care enough to kick up a fuss. Awarding 2022 to Qatar is a case in point. Yes, the other host nations - Australia, Japan, South Korea and the US - were angry. So too, presumably, were the minority of supporters who travel to every World Cup. And maybe some players or clubs annoyed at having to play in 40-degree heat.
Beyond that, it's hard to get the rest of the world excited. Most football fans watch the games on TV and - guess what? - the matches all look the same, whether they're in Doha, Dallas or Dakar. So too do the sponsor logos, the studio panels, the media coverage - basically all the ingredients that make up a World Cup experience.
Without wishing to sound too cynical, it shouldn't surprise anyone that things went the way they did last week. The system is flawed, unjust and in need of reform. But the harsh reality is that Blatter's "base" is happy enough the way things are.

Leading apparel retailer Michael Kors Holdings Limited (NYSE:KORS) is trading lower by $2.64 to $91.23 a share. It should be noted that Kors is now trading below the important 50-day moving average -- an important level for technical traders.
Near-Term Weakness
Often, when stocks trade below their 50-day moving average it is a sign of weakness in the near term. Many money managers will not buy stocks that are trading below this key moving average. Day traders can now watch for intra-day chart support around the $90 level, an area where day traders can expect an intra-day bounce.

LTPP: The Next Decade
Understanding "why" some pavements perform better than others is key to building and maintaining a cost-effective highway system. That's why in 1987, the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program — a comprehensive 20-year study of in-service pavements — began a series of rigorous long-term field experiments monitoring more than 2,400 asphalt and portland cement concrete pavement test sections across the United States and Canada.
Established as part of the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) and now managed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), LTPP was designed as a partnership with the States and Provinces. LTPP's goal is to help the States and Provinces make decisions that will lead to better performing and more cost-effective pavements.
To this end, early in the program, LTPP developed pavement monitoring, materials testing, and equipment standards and calibration procedures. More recently, LTPP has developed a new/refined set of tools, such as the improved procedures for the design of jointed concrete pavements that were adopted by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in 1997.
Today, as it enters its second decade, LTPP is providing open access to the data it has collected during its first decade. Introduced in 1998, DataPave is a new software package that presents LTPP data on an easy-to-use CD-ROM. DataPave unlocks the potential of LTPP data for the development of products by the States, Provinces, and FHWA.
However, DataPave is only one of a variety of efforts underway. LTPP data are also playing an integral role in the development of the AASHTO 2002 Pavement Design Guide. Although these efforts illustrate the enormous value of the LTPP program, the program also faces a significant challenge.
To address this challenge, FHWA has initiated several efforts that require the support and active participation of the States and Provinces. The intent of this document is to describe the challenge LTPP faces and explain the efforts underway to address this challenge.
The ChallengeUnderstanding pavement performance is a complex task. It is a task that requires not only gaining a knowledge base on "how" pavements perform, but also understanding "why" pavements perform as they do.
What's the difference between understanding "how" pavements perform and "why" pavements perform in a certain way, and why is that important? Simply put, knowing how pavements perform usually enables us to duplicate past successes and avoid recreating past failures. It does not, however, provide enough information to allow us to correct the underlying causes of failure or build upon our successes. Understanding why pavements perform as they do will provide the tools that engineers and managers need to deal with an ever-changing world and more effectively manage the risks inherent in highway design, construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation.
Over the past decade, LTPP has developed a solid knowledge base for understanding how pavements perform. LTPP's challenge throughout its second decade is to build on this foundation — to further the understanding of why pavements perform as they do.

If your goal is to be at the centre of downtown Winnipeg's urban revolution, here's your chance.
At long last, a condominium development -- a joint venture between Toronto-based Urban Capital and Winnipeg's Longboat Development Corp. -- is poised to sit at the centre of all the city's downtown sector has to offer.
Standing 21 storeys high -- and featuring floor-to-ceiling walls of glass for panoramic city views -- the development is fittingly called Glasshouse Skylofts.
"So far, the reception to the concept has been nothing short of excellent," said Longboat Development's director of commercial development, Doug McKay. "We already have 1,200 registered to come to our launch to learn more about the building, and all that it will have to offer."
The concept, said McKay, is all about a streamlined urban lifestyle that's simple, clean and open -- capped off by spectacular views and a host of amenities on site or nearby 309 Hargrave St.
"Access to downtown and all its amenities is what people are looking for," he said. "Glasshouse will be at the centre of it all, offering stunning, uniquely modern lofts that fuse style and sophisticated design in the heart of downtown Winnipeg."
The most significant feature of Glasshouse is the floor-to-ceiling windows that will afford spectacular vistas of not only downtown, but the rest of the city. No matter what unit you choose, there will always be a view to take in.
"Sightlines will be clear and quite panoramic," said McKay. "Corner units will have some of the best views, as they'll have two sides that have glass. One of the best elements of the design is that walls don't run into the glass. That will make for clear, unobstructed views."
Correspondingly, the layout of the lofts - there will be 195 of them, ranging from 435 sq. ft, one bedroom units to 1,080 sq. ft., three bedroom units - will be open-concept to maximize both flow and views. Finishes will be modern, with an emphasis on glass, exposed ductwork, metal and concrete. That industrial-style look will then be offset by warm finishes such as wood and stone.
"It's going to be urban living at its best," said Urban Capital's David Wex. "The suites' cubic footage is going to be maximized by high ceilings and the huge, floor-to-ceiling windows. Even in the smaller units, there will be a real sense of space. Features such as open kitchens and sliding doors will give spaces a fluid feel, and will maximize flow. The feel will be a mix of industrial and traditional. Concrete ceilings and aluminum finishes will be combined with warmer tones that come from using wood and stone."
Stantec Architecture's Michael Banman said the suites are going to be spectacular.
"When you combine the materials, such as exposed concrete columns, with the windows -- light is just going to flood in, and views are going to be amazing -- the result is a leading-edge, urban residence," he said.
Glasshouse not only promises to be leading-edge in its looks, but also in the amenities it will offer its residents, said McKay.
"There will be both a well-equipped gym and theatre on the second floor," he said. "Residents can reserve the theatre to hold movie nights or watch a Jets game with friends, and there's no need to drive somewhere to work out -- you can do it right on-site."
The top-most portion of the building will contain the most spectacular amenity of all, he added.
"First of all, there will be a glass pavilion with a kitchen and space to entertain. Then, outdoors, there will be a terrace with fire pits, cabanas and a large dining table where you and 20 friends can sit down to a gourmet meal," he said, adding that the amenities have been designed to be an extension of each unit. "Of course, the view will be spectacular."
With units starting at an affordable $169,900 and 14 unit designs to choose from, Glasshouse - which will also be attached to a 400-car parkade and will have a second-floor bridge that connects it to the Centrepoint development (Alt Hotel, Milestones and China Libre restaurants) - is poised to revolutionize living in downtown Winnipeg.
"It's unlike anything Winnipeg has seen before," said McKay.
"Anyone who buys a unit is going to get a lot for their dollar, from the views, to the central location and all the great amenities."

Minister congratulates the Taumarunui Community Kokiri Trust
Hon Tariana Turia
Minister for Whanau Ora
Media Release
21 February 2014
Minister for Whanau Ora congratulates the Taumarunui Community Kokiri Trust
Minister for Whanau Ora Tariana Turia has congratulated the Taumarunui Community Kokiri Trust for its delivery of Whanau Ora initiatives. The Taumarunui Community Kokiri Trust has just celebrated 25 years of service to the community. The organisation has been operating since 1989 delivering a range of services with a focus on the holistic development and wellbeing of whanau, hapu and iwi including an early childhood centre, smoking cessation, aged care, mental health and tamariki ora.
"The Trust has always had the people's interests at the forefront of its programmes and services. Their philosophy to improve the wellbeing of whanau underpins everything they do. They have consistently empowered their people through an approach that allows the people to have their own aspirations, to take control of their own lives and make decisions on their own health and well-being which also recognises who they are and where they have come from. This is at the very heart of Whanau Ora," says Minister Turia.
"The Trust, its staff and its services recognise that strength comes with unity and working together. Taumarunui is based in the rohe of Hinengakau, an ancestor of the Whanganui river region. Those that descend from her are described in the metaphor Te Taura Whiri a Hinengakau – the many strands of Hinengakau. The taura whiri is a powerful metaphor. It conveys the idea of diversity, unity and collective strength – where the people and their culture are inseparable. The whanau and hapu are bound together by ties of blood, ties that are recognised and recorded in our traditions. The Trust is an excellent example of an organisation that recognises the benefits of collective strength and unity within whanau, hapu and iwi."

Gluten Free: Fad or Here to Stay?November 27, 2012 by Amy Leger | G+ Amy Leger
I can't tell you how awesome it is to have a good selection of gluten free products at my local grocery store. After years of store managers looking at me like I was CRAZY simply asking for them to carry a gluten free pretzel, it is nice to feel like the not-so-unpopular kid on the block.
In the last few years the selection of yummy gluten free foods has been awesome (although much of it is highly processed). But even though we're not eating highly-processed foods often, it is sort of comforting to know they exist. Let's be honest, it is possible some of the newer gluten free treats wouldn't be around if the so-called gluten free food fad never existed. But are the gluten free foods we have come to know and LOVE, here to stay??
A new article from seekingalpha.com looks at two potential food fads: gluten free diet foods and stevia (sweetener). It questions whether either of them here to stay or are they something that will be the "next health food fads to find their way to the discount aisles?"
We won't be delving in the stevia side of the article today, but the writer talks about how the Atkins diet came and went– hurting Krispy Kreme and General Mills' low-carb line with it. So General Mills moved into the gluten free market. It mentions even Kellogg's didn't want to do gluten free, but eventually came around and created the Brown Rice Gluten Free Rice Krispies. That's the power the gluten free trend has had.
According to research by Mintel, gluten free sales could be between $8-9 billion dollars in 2013. But because more companies are creating gluten free products and more people are buying them, the writer says it, "does not mean that it is not a fad." He delves into Annie's products, which makes a few gluten free foods. He questions whether Annie's could be at risk if the gluten free "fad" goes away. If the trendy diet folks abandon gluten free food to turn to the next health craze, the author points out, 3 million people who have celiac disease is "hardly enough to turn gluten free anything more than a fad for those other than Celiac sufferers."
While that's a relatively undecidedly negative look at the "fad", on Monday, the Wall Street Journal website had RBC saying Smart Balance is a bit of a rising star in the stock market. Smart Balance is apparently considered a "Top Pick" for investors because the company focuses on gluten free and plant-based packaged foods which are two of the "stronger growth categories" right now according to RBC. Smart Balance owns Glutino and Udi's; leaders in the gluten-free marketplace.
So it is clear that gluten free products, and the companies that make them, are definitely making Wall Street take notice. But they seem to be undecided about what the future holds.
Does the thought that gluten free products could fade away with a "fad" ever cross your mind or make you nervous? What would our options look like in a post-gluten-free-fad environment? Would they go back to the "olden days" of few and tasteless choices? Or do we think there still would be a place for gluten-free foods on mainstream store shelves?
What do you think? Feel free to post your comments below.

Mitch Gordon is president and co-founder of GoOverseas.com, a startup that helps people find academic, volunteer, internship, and other programs abroad. It's no surprise that he's putting in long hours to help get the company off the ground. The shocker: He's simultaneously enrolled in highly competitive MBA program.
Gordon (pictured) isn't the first entrepreneur to start a business while juggling other responsibilities, such as parenthood or a second job (one that pays the bills, at least temporarily), but his experience and insight could help others managing multiple demands.
The Intuit Small Business Blog recently talked with Gordon about his life as a "student CEO," the unique challenges he faces, and what he thinks other small-business owners might learn from his experience.
ISBB: Describe the "student CEO."
Gordon: I'm currently completing my MBA at the University of California, Berkeley's Haas School of Business while working 80-hour weeks as the co-founder of Go Overseas. I have a few classmates in the same position, starting companies and doing all the many things that go along with it: developing products and business plans, raising money, hiring, doing the books, paying the bills, et cetera. Juggling two life-altering pursuits at the same time is a definite challenge.
What are the ups and downs of that juggling act?
There are a number of significant challenges. First of all, being a student and founding a company are both full-time jobs in and of themselves. How do you decide what comes first, priority-wise? Do I write my paper first or call a potential client? There are a ton of trade-offs. There is one thing that will definitely suffer: your personal life. The last two years for me have been 100 percent focused on finishing school and starting my company. There hasn't been much time for anything else. That can be difficult, and you'll need family and friends to be understanding. At the same time, one great benefit is that I can take what I learn in class and put it into practice in the office immediately.
How do you deal with those challenges?
Sometimes you can be at your best when you have too much going on. It can force you to focus and manage your time more efficiently. It helps crystallize what's most important. I know I'm working hard to squeeze as much productivity as I can out of my workday. At the same time, you need to set aside some personal time to recharge. I've seen people completely burn out by just taking on too much for too long.
What can other entrepreneurs learn from a "student CEO"?
One thing people can learn is not to be afraid to make the leap to entrepreneurship. From my observations, I'd say aversion to risk-taking is the main reason many people don't make the leap to start their own companies. Going to school is a great way to force some change in your life. That change may be the catalyst to make you comfortable enough to take the next leap and start your own company. For me, making the decision to get my MBA at Berkeley was the first step toward starting Go Overseas.
One other thing I've learned to do: prioritize. It's easy to come to work and check your email first thing in the morning. I force myself to look at the three most important tasks I have in my day. I tackle those three items before the email. That may sound simple, but when you have too much to do in any one day, prioritization is really critical.

Just days after the Pittsburgh Steelers hired special teams coach Danny Smith to bring their opening total to one; Mike Tomlin is left with another opening on his coaching staff. This position opened up when wide receivers coach Scottie Montgomery left to become the offensive coordinator for the Duke Blue Devils.
Montgomery was a key contributor to the coaching staff. He was widely praised with his work in 2010 and 2011 with Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders, helping Wallace and Brown reach the Pro Bowl.
While the receiving corps as a whole saw a drop off in 2012, much of that was due to injuries to quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and Brown. Yes, injury is not an excuse and the unit seemed to regress, some of that could also fall on the development of roles within Todd Haley's new offensive schemes.
This will be a homecoming for Montgomery, as he was a standout wide receiver for the Blue Devils, as well as spending four seasons as their wide receivers coach before signing on with the Steelers. In all, Montgomery spent three seasons as the wide receivers coach.

The Aidan O'Brien trainee was coming off of a second place finish to Nijoom Dubai in the Albany Stakes (Eng-III) at Royal Ascot last time out, where she had been installed as the heavy favorite. You'resothrilling and jockey Mick Kinane endured an eventful trip, however, and could get no closer than 1 1/4-lengths to the winner that day.
The 2-year-old full sister to champion Giant's Causeway again was heavily backed, and this time did not disappoint her fans.
Breaking alertly from the gate, You'resothrilling was kept on the stands' side rail by Kinane, running second in her group of four. The field had broken into three separate groups as they raced down the straightaway, with Francesca D'Giorgio leading the entire field for the first half-mile of the six furlong event.
You'resothrilling overhauled the pacesetter with a furlong left, and had plenty in the tank as she powered away to win easily.
Festoso, racing in the middle group, ran on well to capture second. Elletelle, winner of the Queen Mary Stakes (Eng-II) at Royal Ascot last time out, got up for third, just a neck behind Festoso.
Time for the six furlongs over a good turf course was 1:11.66.
Kinane told reporters after the race, "She's nice, a lovely filly, and when she steps up in trip she's going to get better."
You'resothrilling is a 2-year-old daughter of Storm Cat out of Mariah's Storm, by Rahy. She was bred in Kentucky by Pacelco.

By Nancy Haught, Religion News Service
PORTLAND, Ore. It was a quiet Sunday afternoon in 1938 when something went terribly wrong near young Bill Hamilton's house. His teenage friends had been building pipe bombs. One, an Episcopalian, was dead. Another, a Catholic, lay on the grass fatally injured. And the third, the son of an atheist, emerged without a scratch.
How, Hamilton wondered, could a just God allow this? Why do the innocent suffer? Does God intervene in human lives?
"Theodicy came to dwell in my 14-year-old head that Sunday," he says.
The questions haunted Hamilton at his friends' funerals, at school, in the Navy, at seminary and in his years as a theology professor in upstate New York. By 1966, he had an answer, and it landed him in Time and Playboy magazines: God was dead.
Now, some 40 years later, a new atheism is surging. Best-sellers bash religion, Christianity in particular. Published excerpts from Mother Teresa's private journal reveal her doubts. The Golden Compass, drawn from a trilogy of novels in which a key character wants to kill God, is a blockbuster movie.
For Hamilton, 83, who lives here with his wife, it's too late. God's already gone. His own health is fragile; his hands shake and he moves slowly. It's hard to imagine that this gentle man once shook the world of theology.
Hamilton grew up a "bland, very liberal" Baptist, in a middle-class Chicago suburb. "As soon as I was able," he says, "I left it." He graduated from Oberlin College and joined the Navy in World War II. "I may have been the only guy on my ship with a copy of The Nature and Destiny of Man in my duffel," he says. Its author, Reinhold Niebuhr, was the leading U.S. theologian of the day.
After the war, Hamilton went to Union Theological Seminary in New York City because Niebuhr invited him. It didn't matter that Hamilton wasn't sure he was a Christian. Niebuhr thought Union, a bastion of liberal Protestantism, would be a good place to figure that out. The two became lifelong friends.
Hamilton graduated in 1949, got married and earned his doctorate in theology from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. The family returned to the U.S., where Hamilton taught theology at Colgate University in upstate New York.
Hamilton spent those years reflecting on his fractured faith. The image of God as an all-knowing, all-powerful solver of problems couldn't be reconciled with human suffering, especially in the wake of the Holocaust.
Hamilton wrote out his two choices: "God is not behind such radical evil, therefore he cannot be what we have traditionally meant by God" or "God is behind everything, including the death camps — and therefore he is a killer."
Hamilton didn't see an active God anymore. But the theologian was not an atheist. And he didn't want to let go of Jesus, as the example of how humans should treat one another.
"The death of God is a metaphor," he says. "We needed to redefine Christianity as a possibility without the presence of God."
He stopped going to church, but because he wanted his children to know the Bible and understand how Jesus lived, he taught them Sunday school at home. "All of us appreciate the teachings of Jesus Christ, what an extraordinary figure he was," says his son, Ross.
Hamilton redefined Christianity without God, other theologians speculated: God died long ago, perhaps at the birth of Jesus; or science and technology killed the deity. Hamilton, Thomas J.J. Altizer at Emory University and Paul Van Buren at Temple published a few articles in theological journals. Newspapers picked up the story in 1965. On April 8, 1966, Time's cover declared that God was dead, and christened the movement "radical theology."
By the time Hamilton's essay appeared in Playboy four months later, alongside topless photos of Jane Fonda, he was frustrated with the public perception of his work. Some didn't understand his argument or care about its subtleties. The response was hostile. "Institutions were upset, trustees perplexed, colleagues bewildered," he says.
Hamilton doesn't like to talk about what happened. "There were death threats," his wife, Mary Jean, says. "There were letters to the editor," remembers his son, Don, who watched his father walk past faculty friends and no one spoke. There were unofficial calls for Hamilton's resignation. He kept his job, but the divinity school yanked his endowed chair in 1967.
Critics dismissed the death of God movement as a blip, a passing fad. But Hamilton helped pave the way for other radical theologians: feminists, who dropped patriarchal descriptions of God; and liberationists, who saw God in poverty and suffering.
Hamilton left Colgate to teach religion at New College in Sarasota, Fla., where an avant-garde and freewheeling atmosphere attracted bright students. But after a few years, he and his wife decided it wasn't where they wanted to raise their five children.
They moved to Oregon in 1970, where Hamilton taught at Portland State University for 14 years. His classes covered topics from literary criticism to death and dying, even a little religion.
Hamilton still rises every day at 6 a.m. to write. He writes by hand, and progress is slow. He hopes, however, to get his novel off to a publisher soon. He still reads avidly — Shakespeare, politics, some theology and the new atheists. It's their attitude that annoys him most.
"These are blanket indictments of religion in general, or Christianity in particular," he says. "There is a self-righteousness, a glibness in their writing. They are too sure of themselves. They've backed themselves into a fundamentalist mode."
He remains a Christian who doesn't go to church. And faced with his own mortality, he doesn't think much about God anymore, except when asked.
"The death of God enabled me to understand the world. Looking back, I wouldn't have gone any other direction. I faced all my worries and questions about death long ago."
Nancy Haught writes for The Oregonian in Portland, Ore.

Do you feel that you got the birth experience you wanted?
I think that my last birth was pretty close to my dream experience. I have always felt that my earlier births could have gone a lot better. Many people do not understand how someone could be disappointed with a birth experience that ended in a healthy, happy baby and mom. It happens though, millions of women leave their birth experience with feelings that they do not have have a word for; carrying around a type of disappointment that is hard to discuss.
What are your thoughts on this? Do you all feel that you had the birth you wanted? Could it have gone better? How will your feelings affect any future births (if you plan on having more children)? How did/do you deal with residual disappointment, if you have any?

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn today announced that they will travel to Belfast, Northern Ireland to attend the US-Northern Ireland Investment Conference on May 8th, 2008. The Mayor will speak at the landmark conference, which is being held on the first anniversary of the St. Andrews Agreement, along side Gordon Brown, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom; Dr. Ian Paisley, First Minister of Northern Ireland; and Martin McGuinness, Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland. The Mayor and Speaker were invited to attend the conference by First Minister Paisley and Deputy First Minister McGuinness when they visited New York's City Hall last December. This will be Mayor Bloomberg's first trip to Northern Ireland as Mayor and he will be joined by his liaison to the Irish community, radio host Adrian Flannelly.
"The future of Northern Ireland has never been brighter, because the commitment to peace has never been stronger," said Mayor Bloomberg. "With peace and stability come economic opportunities. This conference will not only give leaders in Northern Ireland an opportunity to showcase their economic potential, it will give us an opportunity to discuss with business leaders in Northern Ireland how New York can offer them investment opportunities they won't find anywhere else. I was honored to be asked to attend, and I look forward to going."
"Good jobs and economic development are critical components to moving the peace process forward," said Speaker Quinn. "New York City and Belfast are proud partners in peace and it is a distinct honor to participate in this important conference."
"The US- Northern Ireland investment conference will provide a jumpstart for solid investment opportunities for Americans and Irish alike and Mayor Bloomberg's participation lends tremendous credibility and support to this undertaking," said Adrian Flannelly, Chairman and CEO of Irish Radio Network USA. "The conference further solidifies the great bond between New Yorkers and the island of Ireland."
The US-Northern Ireland Investment Conference marks the first year of Northern Ireland's new executive administration, which is focused on ensuring peace, prosperity and stability in the region. The conference provides a unique opportunity to highlight the dramatic transformation Northern Ireland has seen in recent years, while also exploring the growing opportunities for businesses in Northern Ireland and the U.S. to tap into each other's markets. The conference will be held in Belfast, which is becoming an increasingly vital center of international commerce.
Close to 500,000 residents of Irish descent live in New York City's five boroughs. The strong connection between the Irish and New Yorkers has helped strengthen and encourage trade, investments and tourism for many years. Last year, Mayor Bloomberg celebrated the securing of the first direct flights between the United States and Ireland West Airport Knock at a ceremony at the airport in County Mayo, Ireland. During his visit, the Mayor also unveiled the City's international marketing campaign in and around Dublin encouraging Irish residents to visit New York. The campaign was coordinated out of NYC & Company's tourism office in Dublin, which opened in July 2006. In August 2006, the Mayor visited County Sligo, Ireland to dedicate the memorial to the Fighting 69th Infantry Regiment of New York. While he was in Sligo, he also spoke with local business leaders.

Shia LaBeouf Explains Alec Baldwin Beef
By JACKIE WILLIS
April 02, 2013
After being booted from the Broadway play Orphans, posting private emails from the play's cast and crew on Twitter and then sitting front row at the show this past week, Shia LaBeouf is finally addressing the "tension" between him and his former co-star Alec Baldwin that led to his dismissal from the play.
On Monday night's Late Show With David Letterman, LaBeouf described his beef with 54-year-old Baldwin, saying, "We had tension as men. Not as artists, but as men. I think in a room, that became a hard thing to deal with, and I think that when you have tension as men, that's tough til July."
Letterman had another suggestion as to what led to the 26-year-old actor's departure from the show: "Alec went to the producers and said, 'I can't take it another day, fire him.'" LaBeouf agreed, saying, "I think that might have been what happened."
Explaining why he showed up front row to the show, LaBeouf joked, "It was the only ticket I could get actually. ...I've been part of the play for three years, and I showed up as a fan."
RELATED: Shia's Most Controversial Quotes
He added, "[Baldwin's] a good dude, and the show is terrific. I got nothing bad to say." When asked if LaBeouf would consider a reconciliation with Baldwin, the actor answered, "I think that'd be a tough one to pull off. I mean I'm all for it."
LaBeouf added to camera, "Alec, I think you're awesome. That's it."
Speaking of getting the boot, the Lawless star showed up to the Late Show wearing a walking boot on his left side. Hear how he got his broken foot in the video, below:

The area between the upper lip and the nasal channel has a slight depression (not the nasolabial folds). Which would be the best filler for this area? Radiesse or Juvederm Ultra Plus?
Best Filler for Area Between Upper Lip and Nose?
Doctor Answers 4
Fillers around the lip
The best fillers for around the lip are usually the HAs or the Hyaluronic acids. This includes restylane, perlane, and juvederm. Radiesse is not usually recommended around the mouth because of the risk of lumps.
Restylane and Juvederm are the BEST fillers for around the Lip
I agree with Drs. Placik and Rand. Restylane and Juvederm are the best and safest fillers to be used in and around the lips. Radiesse is best used in the deep nose to corner of mouth lines and to augment the cheek areas.
Dr. P. Aldea
Fillers for the lip
I also persoanlly prefer to use hyaluronic acid fillers for the lip, using Restylane and Juvederm. These are soft and can fill fine lines nicely and can be placed superficially more than other products that are intended for deeper use like Radiesse.

Use the hyaluronic fillers i.e, Restylane around the mouth
I generally prefer the Hyaluronic fillers such as Restylane for this purpose. The use of Radiesse around the lip area is not popular due to the possibility of visibility or palpable nodules.

WASHINGTON – Advocates of rewriting the USA Patriot Act (search) are claiming momentum after the House, despite a White House veto threat, voted to restrict investigators from using the anti-terrorism law to peek at library records and bookstore sales slips.
Wednesday's 238-187 vote came as lawmakers ramped up efforts to extend the Patriot Act, which was passed quickly in the emotional aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. When Congress passed the law, it included a sunset provision under which 15 of the its provisions are to expire at the end of this year.
White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Thursday that weakening of the act could draw a veto from President Bush, who pressured Congress to renew all provisions of the law during a visit with Ohio police in Columbus last week.
"There's still a long way to go in the legislative process and as he indicated last week, the president is going to continue urging Congress to renew and make permanent all provisions of the Patriot Act," McClellan said. "They are all vital tools in our efforts to protect the American people and disrupt plots from happening."
Since the Patriot Act passed, liberals and libertarian-oriented conservatives have pressed for changes, citing privacy and civil liberties concerns.
"No question, this is a real shot in the arm for those of us who want to make changes to the USA Patriot Act," said Rep. Bernard Sanders (search), I-Vt., sponsor of the provision that would curtail the government's ability to investigate the reading habits of terror suspects. He said the vote would help "rein in an administration intent on chipping away at the very civil liberties that define us as a nation."
The vote reversed a narrow loss last year by lawmakers concerned about the potential invasion of privacy of innocent library users. They narrowed the proposal this year to permit the government to continue to seek out records of Internet use at libraries.
The House is debating a $57.5 billion bill covering the departments of Commerce, Justice and State. The Senate has yet to act on the measure, and GOP leaders often drop provisions offensive to Bush during final negotiations.
The Justice Department said in a letter to lawmakers that as of March 30, federal investigators had not used the Patriot Act to obtain library or bookstore records but that the authority provides "an important tool for investigating and intercepting terrorism."
"It bodes well that the first vote Congress has taken on the Patriot Act this year has been in favor of liberty and freedom," said Gregory Nojeim, a lobbyist for the American Civil Liberties Union.
Supporters of rolling back the library and bookstore provision said that the law gives the FBI too much leeway to go on fishing expeditions based on what people read. Innocent people could get tagged as potential terrorists based on what they check out from a library, critics said.
"If the government suspects someone is looking up how to make atom bombs, go to a court and get a search warrant," said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y.
Supporters of the Patriot Act countered that the rules are potentially useful and argued that the House was voting to make libraries safe havens for terrorists.
"If there are terrorists in libraries studying how to fly planes, how to put together biological weapons, how to put together chemical weapons, nuclear weapons, ... we have to have an avenue through the federal court system so that we can stop the attack before it occurs," said Rep. Tom Feeney, R-Fla.
Last year, a similar provision was derailed by a 210-210 tie after several Republicans were pressured to switch votes.
In the meantime, a number of libraries have begun disposing of patrons' records quickly so they won't be available if sought under the law.
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales (search) told Congress in April that the government has never used the provision to obtain library, bookstore, medical or gun sale records.
But when asked whether the administration would agree to exclude library and medical records from the law, Gonzales demurred. "It should not be held against us that we have exercised restraint," he said.
Authorities have gained access to records through voluntary cooperation from librarians, Gonzales and FBI Director Robert Mueller said.

The 4th of July is a great holiday. It's a time for reflection. A time to remember freedom and all who fought for it. It's also a time to commemorate those who currently defend our freedom.
Each year we explain to the Yahoos, in burgeoning language, how the Revolution was about freeing our founding fathers and their posterity from the tyranny of Taxation Without Representation. (We also explain how we're on our way back there... 'cause we're sugary-sweet-stab-'em-with-reality kind of parents.)
The best part of the 4th of July is not the crowded parade, the fun-run or the fireworks. It's not even the barbeques and watermelon. The best, most entertaining, most thrilling, most fulfilling element of The Fourth is the Tour de France.
We celebrate The Fourth by watching the Tour de France. I know. know. It's Sacrilege. Blasphemy. Heresy. Impiety.
Irregardless of my unpatriotic behavior, this year's Tour has many surprises. That clever and conniving Johan Bruyneel has stacked Team Astana with Alberto Contador, Levi Leipheimer, Andreas Kloden, Yaroslav Popovych and that poster child for narcissism, Lance Armstrong. The GC (General Classification) contender for team Astana is still undecided. It's a toss-up between Contador and Armstrong. Both are strong and worthy of that Yellow Jersey in Paris. But again, that cunning Bruyneel won't say who is the team captain. It could also be Leipheimer (who took 3rd in 2007) or Kloden (24th place in 2007) or even Popovych (White Jersey in 2005)!
That team is stacked. Someone from that team will win.
Will Bruyneel let Armstrong and Contador battle it out within the team? Is it another one of his secret weapons... to not tell the press his intentions for the overall winner?
It's a good thing that team isn't full of women. Can you image the drama? The cat fights? I wanna be the GC contender! NO! She's too old and 'sides, she's already won, like, 7 times... IT'S MY TURN TO WIN THE TOUR DE FRANCE THIS YEAR!
Yeah. That kind of Drama.
Another great part of the Tour? The dresses for le Models de Podium. Fantastic! Check out the Polka Dot Jersey dresses for this year:
This isn't the last you'll hear of the Tour. Thanks to that lovely bike race across France, the month of July is the most wonderful time of the year! HOWEVER, as reported previously, the end of le Tour brings with it the doom of P.T.D.F.D. or Post Tour de France Depression.
I will need hugs, kisses and well wishes on July the 27th. You could also take me to lunch or send me music through iTunes.

* Dollar, euro fall from multi-year highs versus yen * U.S. retail sales unexpectedly fall in March, hits dollar * Yen heads for weekly losses, weakness trend intact By Wanfeng Zhou NEW YORK, April 12 (Reuters) - The dollar declined from a four-year peak against the yen on Friday after an unexpected fall in U.S. retail sales last month reinforced expectations the Federal Reserve will keep its monetary policy loose to support the U.S. economy. But any rebound in the yen should be short-lived after the Bank of Japan unveiled aggressive monetary easing last week to fight decades-long deflation. Traders said it's only a matter of time before the dollar rises above the 100 yen mark. U.S. retail sales fell 0.4 percent in March, the Commerce Department said, contracting for the second time in three months and a sign the American economy may have stumbled at the end of the first quarter. "It is the latest in a growing list of economic numbers that will likely keep the dollar pressured and the Fed in no hurry to normalize policy," said Omer Esiner, chief market analyst at Commonwealth Foreign Exchange in Washington. The Fed's bond-buying program, which equates to printing money, has been a major headwind for the dollar in recent years. But minutes from recent Fed meetings suggested some Fed policymakers expected to taper the pace of asset purchases sometime this year. The dollar fell 0.6 percent to 99.05 yen. It had earlier risen to a session peak of 99.80 yen, near a high of 99.94 set on Thursday, the strongest since April 2009. On the week, the dollar rose about 0.9 percent against the yen, its second straight week of gains. It was on track for its largest two-week gain versus the yen since early 2009. The dollar had gained 7 percent against the yen since the BOJ pledged Thursday to inject about $1.4 trillion into the Japanese economy in less than two years. But its rally has slowed near the psychologically important 100 level, with traders citing hefty option barriers and dollar selling pressure from Japanese exporters. "There is a correction taking place in the wider yen selloff that we have seen," said Chris Walker, currency strategist at Barclays. "But drops in the dollar/yen have been shallow and are good levels to short the yen. We forecast dollar/yen to rise to 103 yen in a month's time." The BOJ's steps have prompted many analysts to revise up their forecasts for the dollar's strength against the yen. Societe Generale analysts now target an eventual rise to 110, up from 103 previously, while Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ forecasts dollar/yen at 109 yen in the next 12 months. The euro slipped 0.7 percent to 129.65 yen, retreating from 131.11 yen set on Thursday, its highest in more than three years. CAPITAL FLOWS On Friday BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said he had taken all necessary steps to meet its 2 percent inflation target in two years and will try to minimize volatility in the Japanese government bond (JGB) market caused by its massive bond buying. Fund managers and analysts say once the volatility in the bond market settles, Japanese investors are likely to reallocate money overseas in search of higher yields. "With the BoJ now a major buyer of JGBs, expectations are that Japanese investors in JGB's - mainly banks, insurance companies and pension funds - will start to allocate part of their money to foreign assets," said Jaco Rouw, fund manager at ING Investment Management. "This might partly be on an unhedged basis if the BOJ successfully creates expectations of a weaker yen. As almost all yen weakness so far has been driven by the international financial community, this Japanese flow should be the next leg of further yen depreciation." The data shows no such flow yet but analysts expect that may change quickly. Against the dollar, the euro was down 0.2 percent at $1.3075 . Reported option expiries around $1.3000 could likely keep the currency pinned around that level. Strategists said markets will focus on a meeting of European Union finance ministers starting later on Friday, expected to approve a 10 billion euro bailout package for Cyprus. Ministers will also likely discuss revisions to the terms and conditions of bailouts for Portugal and Ireland.
