IT could be my imagination. But I swear that since Christine Lagarde came to prominence, Theresa May has upped her game. Not in political terms, necessarily. But I've noticed her embracing the grey in her hair, streamlining the tailoring, and sidelining the leather jackets and spiky shoes that were just that little bit too young for her.

What the Home Secretary chooses for her wardrobe obviously has nothing to do with me, and it won't make any difference to her policies. But it's good to see a high-flying fiftysomething woman confident in her own skin, especially in Britain. Because for far too long this particular gender, at this particular age, in this particular country, has been more or less invisible to the public eye.

So it has taken the appointment of an especially stylish and charismatic Frenchwoman to head the IMF to make us step back and think about it. And yes, I know it is shallow to judge someone on the way they look. But the age we live in is as visual as the Middle Ages (no pun intended), when the vast majority of the population couldn't read, so had to rely on pictures to tell them stories. There is probably something deep to say here related to falling educational standards and our obsession with celebrity, but let's not get distracted.

What is indisputable is that Lagarde is no desperate ingénue. She is a smart woman of 55 who celebrates the fact that sometimes, being female in a tough situation can be a bonus, not a hindrance, and talks openly about her “feminine and understated” negotiating style.

She even has the courage to blame the blokes for our international financial ills; pointing the finger at testosterone-fuelled bankers for the financial crash and tutting that the euro never had a good start because of its, “founding fathers… founding fathers, not mothers, notice. Regrettably, there was no woman at the table at the time.”

It is reductive to argue that we don't have women like Lagarde in British politics or public life, because if you look closely, we do, or we certainly have the potential to produce them. It's just that all too often, they are sidelined, pilloried, or never put themselves forward for high office.

Gary Forbes' team trailed by 14 points midway through the fourth quarter, the atmosphere in the gym had gone flat and nobody would've faulted the Denver Nuggets swingman if he packed it in, got ready for his first vacation in five years.

Instead, Forbes treated the Fireball championship Sunday at Baruch College in lower Manhattan like it was an NBA tryout. He put together a memorable 25-point fourth quarter with ferocious drives to the hoop, jumpers, offensive rebounds and put-backs, steals, trips to the free throw line as X-Men rallied for a thrilling 127-126 win over Bingo's All-Stars.

"When I'm on the court, I always feel like I'm one of the best players on the court," he said. "I always have that confidence."

It's that relentless mindset that has propelled the 25-year-old Forbes into the NBA after a meandering career that included two high schools, two colleges and stints in the NBADL and overseas in the Philippines, Italy, Venezuela and Italy.

"It was my deram since I was little kid, everybody knows I just work hard, it's ataetmnet to working hard and not giving up, just dedication trying to get your dream," he said.

Forbes, a rugged 6-foot-7, 220-pound wing, finally made it last winter with Denver. He averaged 10.1 points per game during the preseason and stuck the whole year, tallying 5.2 per game in 63 appearances (11 starts) and even saw minutes in the postseason.

"He's an NBA player," New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony told reporters then, as a member of the Nuggets. "He's got an NBA body, a guy who's willing to learn. He's just a good addition to the team."

True to his nature, Forbes didn't celebrate the accomplishment; no he was back at Denver's training complex shortly after the first-round loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder feverishly working at his game even though the looming NBA Lockout could delay what now seems like an extremely bright future.

"Whenever the season does start, I'll be ready," said Forbes, a restricted free agent who received a one-year qualifying offer from the team.

And when the former All-City talent at Banneker and 2007-08 Atlantic 10 Player of the Year at UMass came back home to Brooklyn, he didn't rest, either – playing with X-Men at Fireball, a league featuring many local stars still looking to make it like Forbes has.

"The best players in the world always work when everybody else isn't working," he said. "I'm trying to model myself after them, the Kobe Bryants and Michael Jordans of the world."

In many ways, the Fireball championship followed the same path as his career. He's never been that flashy star, never been a dead-on marksman from the perimeter or highlight film producer, but was always successful. Forbes led Banneker to a PSAL Class B championship and the 2003 PSAL Class A title game, a loss to Lincoln and Sebastian Telfair, and enjoyed a standout two-year career at UMass after transferring from Virginia.

He's like a fine wine, getting better the longer you watch him, which was true in the Fireball championship game.

He kept on pushing, getting to the rim and the free-throw line, pushing like has to finally make the league. The final result was successful, Forbes leading X-Men to the crown.

After the title, he said he's finally ready to relax somewhat. Before participating in the FIBA Americans Championships in Argentina in late August, he will take a week-long vacation to Hawaii. It, of course, won't be all relaxation, however. Forbes plans to bring his basketball.

"I'm still gonna do some workouts and do something productive," he said. "I play basketball all year round."

A long line stretched down the block in front of New York's first Potbelly sandwich shop just an hour after it opened on Maiden Lane Tuesday morning.

A steady stream of downtown office workers arrived throughout lunchtime to check out the chain's signature toasted sandwiches, fresh-baked cookies and live music.

"I like the hot peppers," said Rohan Tilak, 23, an Upper East Side resident who frequented Potbelly in his home state of Michigan. "The level of quality seems to be higher [than other sandwich shops]. And the prices are awesome."

The two sandwiches that had the most fans on Tuesday — "A Wreck," with salami, roast beef, turkey, ham and Swiss cheese, and "Italian" with capicola, mortadella, pepperoni, salami and provolone cheese — each cost only $5.80.

Many of the customers said they remembered Potbelly from business trips to Washington, DC, or from their college towns in the Midwest, and they were excited to see the shop open in Manhattan. Potbelly started in Chicago in 1977 and now has more than 200 locations.

Marilyn Oza, 27, a Financial District resident, said her favorite is the vegetarian sandwich with mushrooms and Swiss, provolone and cheddar cheeses.

"It's spicy, it's greasy and the cookies are really good too," Oza said as she enjoyed the sandwich Tuesday.

Anne Ewing, a zone manager for Potbelly, said New Yorkers have been begging the company to open a restaurant here for years.

"It's been fantastic," Ewing said at noon on Tuesday, looking at the line of hungry customers.

In a nod to the speed of life in the Financial District, the Maiden Lane location is the first to offer a takeout section with salads and yogurt for people who don't want to wait in line.

Potbelly plans to open five to six locations in Manhattan this year, including one at Lexington Avenue and 44th Street in mid-July and one at Rockefeller Center in mid-August, Ewing said.

The company hopes to open an additional five to 10 locations in Manhattan in 2012.

As the Tour de France kicks off at Passage du Gois this Saturday, Lance Armstrong, the man who has won the race a record seven times, won't be there. He's due to appear at the Aspen Ideas Festival, an event put on in part by the Aspen Institute, where he'll be giving a speech about using social media for social good.

Armstrong, who retired this year, stopped by earlier this month for the opening of Livestrong Sporting Park, a pro soccer stadium in Kansas City, Kan., named after his cancer foundation's brand. He pedaled in a recent event called the Harpeth River Ride near Nashville, Tenn., and joined the board of trustees of the Aspen Art Museum, which is planning a new 30,000-square-foot building by architect Shigeru Ban. "We are about to break ground on a new museum right downtown," Armstrong said in an email earlier this week.

Armstrong's public schedule and his visibility as an endorser have been topics of conversation in and out of cycling in recent months as he faces a public relations challenge and a potential legal fight. In the past 15 months, two of Armstrong's ex-teammates on the former U.S. Postal Service team publicly accused him of using banned performance-enhancing substances during his career.

A federal criminal investigation into alleged doping on his former U.S. Postal Service team and in pro cycling is continuing. The lead investigator in the U.S. criminal probe, special agent Jeff Novitzky of the Food and Drug Administration, didn't return messages. Armstrong has repeatedly denied doping allegations and has not been charged with any wrongdoing.

In announcing his retirement from professional cycling earlier this year, the 39-year-old Texan said he intended to spend more time with his children and would dedicate more energy to the Lance Armstrong Foundation he founded in 1997 after battling testicular cancer. Since late May, he has been spending more time in Aspen, Colo., with his girlfriend Anna Hansen and their two young children.

Armstrong is still working for a stable of sponsors including Nike, Nissan, Demand Media, FRS and Anheuser-Busch. This past spring, he made appearances at retailers and trade shows on behalf of Nike, one of the partners of his foundation. Nike, which makes a Livestrong collection of shoes, clothing and other merchandise, expanded the collection to Australia and New Zealand last month. "Our relationship with Lance remains as strong as ever," a Nike spokesman said.

Armstrong continues to appear in a commercial he taped late last year for Michelob Ultra. The ad, "The Right Trail," was shown during the recent U.S. Open golf broadcast, and is one of several Michelob Ultra ads that will run during this year's Tour de France. "Lance has performed as an extraordinary athlete in a demanding sport, making him admired by millions who lead active lifestyles," a spokesman for Anheuser-Busch said. "That was our opinion when we signed him and that is our opinion today." Mr. Armstrong signed a three-year deal with Michelob Ultra in 2009 that expires next year.

Compared to last year, when Armstrong competed in the Tour (he finished 23rd overall), his profile as a product endorser isn't what it was. Last year, advertisers including RadioShack, Anheuser-Busch, Trek and Nissan pitched their products in marketing efforts tied to Armstrong. RadioShack, which sponsored Armstrong's team, aired four television commercials featuring the cyclist. Nissan featured him riding his bike behind a Nissan Leaf.

Bill Stapleton, the agent who represents Armstrong in all aspects of his business, said in terms of marketing and advertising, Armstrong is " definitely in a lower profile position than he would be when he was competing, especially with the Tour de France beginning." Stapleton said it's only natural there'd be "some level of drop in demand," and that one "barometer" of that is fewer requests for speeches and public appearances by Armstrong. But Armstrong's still doing a lot of work, he said. Last year's Tour de France was "almost overkill," Stapleton said. "People probably knew that probably was his last one. You're definitely not going to have that sort of media wave this summer. And that's typical of a retired athlete."
