Good Search Engine Optimization is hard time consuming work. Building a successful campaign is like building a solid structure that is going to stand the test of time. An SEO campaign is successful when it has a foundation that is solid enough to be able to endure many challenges posed by competitors and changes that occur in the search engine ranking algorithms. There are many different aspects and elements included in SEO best practices and SEO itself is constantly in a state of flux. The elements of successful SEO campaigns can be brought down to three essential parts which will work together to support each other and the entire campaign: content, links and social media. Working with a reputable SEO firm can help ensure that you utilize the latest in SEO best practices on your site.
It's just logical that great content is an essential part of SEO strategies. Your website should act as a hub and contain good content as part of the on-site strategies. It is noteworthy to mention that the site itself must be high quality as successful SEO simply cannot exist with a poor website. Every piece of content on a site should be high quality and purposeful. For an SEO campaign to be successful there are no shortcuts. Remember that articles or blog posts are indexed by the web crawlers but should be developed for the readers not the search engines. Blogs and websites should be regularly updated with fresh, unique and valuable content. There is also some content that is seen only by browsers and crawlers – Meta content. URLs, Meta titles, Meta descriptions, and Meta keywords are all considered to be "content" and must accurately use SEO best practices.
There has been a lot of confusion surrounding securing links since the latest Penguin updates but they are still a valuable part of an SEO campaign. It's just essential to use only white hat methods to obtain them. It's important to SEO that your site has some inbound links from reputable sites. When other sites link to yours it sets you up as an authority and the search engines will recognize this and rankings will go up in SERPs. Links must be relevant and high quality to give your site value and help with optimization. There are some very efficient ways to obtain quality backlinks which include:
Social media is becoming an integral part of SEO practices. The web 2.0 created a place which allowed and encouraged social exchange and over the last few years the social aspect has soared. Search engines look at social chatter and simply receiving several dozen tweets can help establish a page's authority, improve its ranking and increase traffic. Google+ has also become a major player in social ranking. There are two things to keep in mind when dealing with the social aspect of SEO:

Supplementary motor area (SMA) syndrome is defined as temporary paralysis after the resection of brain tumor localized in the SMA. Although in most cases paralysis induced by SMA resection resolves within a short period, the time until complete recovery varies and has not been precisely analyzed to date. In this study, the authors investigated factors for predicting the time required for recovery from paralysis after SMA resection.
Data from 20 cases were analyzed. All 20 patients (mean age 54.9 ± 12.6 years) had undergone resection of frontal lobe glioma involving the SMA. The severity of postoperative paralysis was recorded until complete recovery using the Brunnstrom recovery stage index. To investigate factors associated with recovery time, the authors performed multivariate analysis with the following potentially explanatory variables: age, severity of paralysis after the surgery, resected volume of the SMA, and probability of disconnection of fibers running through or near the SMA. Moreover, voxel-based lesion symptom analysis was performed to clarify the resected regions related to prolonged recovery.
In most cases of severe to moderate paralysis, there was substantial improvement within the 1st postoperative week, but 2–9 weeks were required for complete recovery. Significantly delayed recovery from paralysis was associated with resection of the cingulate cortex and its deep regions. The factors found to influence recovery time from paralysis were stage of paralysis at postoperative day 7 and disconnection probability of the cingulum (adjusted R2 = 0.63, p < 0.0001).
Recovery time from paralysis due to SMA syndrome can be predicted by the severity of paralysis at postoperative day 7 and degree of damage to the cingulum.

Disturbance of the arcuate fasciculus in the dominant hemisphere is thought to be associated with language-processing disorders, including conduction aphasia. Although the arcuate fasciculus can be visualized in vivo with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography, its involvement in functional processes associated with language has not been shown dynamically using DTI tractography. In the present study, to clarify the participation of the arcuate fasciculus in language functions, postoperative changes in the arcuate fasciculus detected by DTI tractography were evaluated chronologically in relation to postoperative changes in language function after brain tumor surgery.
Preoperative and postoperative arcuate fasciculus area and language function were examined in 7 right-handed patients with a brain tumor in the left hemisphere located in proximity to part of the arcuate fasciculus. The arcuate fasciculus was depicted, and its area was calculated using DTI tractography. Language functions were measured using the Western Aphasia Battery (WAB).
After tumor resection, visualization of the arcuate fasciculus was increased in 5 of the 7 patients, and the total WAB score improved in 6 of the 7 patients. The relative ratio of postoperative visualized area of the arcuate fasciculus to preoperative visualized area of the arcuate fasciculus was increased in association with an improvement in postoperative language function (p = 0.0039).
The role of the left arcuate fasciculus in language functions can be evaluated chronologically in vivo by DTI tractography after brain tumor surgery. Because increased postoperative visualization of the fasciculus was significantly associated with postoperative improvement in language functions, the arcuate fasciculus may play an important role in language function, as previously thought. In addition, postoperative changes in the arcuate fasciculus detected by DTI tractography could represent a predicting factor for postoperative language-dependent functional outcomes in patients with brain tumor.

Fluorescence-guided surgery using 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) has been broadly recognized as a beneficial tool for the resection of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Fluorescence in the ventricular walls, which were apparently free of macroscopic tumor or MR imaging enhancement indicative of CSF dissemination, was detected during surgery for GBM. To evaluate the clinical significance of the 5-ALA fluorescence, the authors resected ventricle wall tissue together with the adjacent tumors for pathological examination and then followed up the clinical courses of the patients.
Seven consecutive GBMs located near the lateral ventricle were surgically treated using a fluorescence-guided technique with 5-ALA at the authors' hospital since acquiring instrumentation for the detection of 5-ALA fluorescence in 2007. All of the procedures were performed using a ventricular entry, and 5-ALA fluorescence of the ventricular wall was detected despite the absence of macroscopic tumor invasion of the wall.
A pathological examination of the resected ventricular wall tissues revealed tumor cells in 6 of the 7 cases and disruption of the ependymal cell layer in all 7 cases. Delayed communicating hydrocephalus followed surgery in all 7 patients, and ventricular wall enhancements on MR imaging were demonstrated after hydrocephalus in 2 of the patients.
Data in this study suggest that 5-ALA fluorescence of the ventricular wall may be predictive of postoperative hydrocephalus associated with CSF dissemination even in cases without evidence of CSF dissemination on MR imaging studies before surgery. The authors also speculate that postoperative radiotherapy covering the whole ventricular system may be a better therapeutic option for these patients.

The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is a membrane protein associated with the induction of oxidative stress and inflammation in several pathological conditions. Previous studies have demonstrated that soluble RAGE (sRAGE) acts as a decoy for RAGE and protects cells against RAGE-mediated injury. The authors and other groups have reported that the expression of RAGE increases after brain ischemia and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and deletion of RAGE or overexpression of sRAGE improves neuronal survival. It has also been demonstrated that the plasma sRAGE level could be a predictor of the outcome after ischemic stroke. This study aimed to evaluate plasma sRAGE as a biomarker for symptomatic vasospasm (SVS) in SAH patients, as well as a rat model.
The authors measured and compared plasma sRAGE levels in 27 SAH patients (7 with SVS and 20 without SVS) from day 5 to day 14 post-SAH. They also examined plasma sRAGE levels and expression of RAGE and heme oxygenase–1 (HO-1) in a rat SAH model.
The relative plasma sRAGE levels were significantly lower in the SVS group than in the non-SVS group of patients. A cut-off value of 0.84 for predicting SVS was considered to be appropriate for the relative plasma sRAGE levels on day 7 versus day 5. In the rat SAH model, plasma sRAGE levels were significantly lower than those in sham-treated rats, and the expressions of RAGE and HO-1 were enhanced in the SAH group compared with the non-SAH group.
Plasma sRAGE levels can be used as a potential biomarker for predicting SVS after SAH.

Recently, intraoperative mapping has disclosed that, in addition to the classic language centers (that is, the Broca and Wernicke centers), other cortical regions may also play an important role in language organization. In the prefrontal cortex, although the lateral superior frontal gyrus (LSFG) could have language-related functions, there are no detailed reports that demonstrate the anatomical connection between the LSFG and other well-known language cortices, such as the Broca center. To show the existence of the structural connection, white matter association fibers between the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and the LSFG were examined using fiber dissection (FD) and diffusion tensor (DT) imaging–based tractography.
Eight cadaveric cerebral hemispheres were dissected to reveal the association fibers between the IFG and LSFG. The DT imaging–based tractography studies targeting the prefrontal cortex were obtained in 53 right-handed patients who had no organic cerebral lesions.
The association fiber tract between Brodmann area 44/45 (the Broca center in the dominant hemisphere) and LSFG were detected in all specimens by FD. In the DT imaging–based tractography studies, the tract was identified in all patients bilaterally, except for the 4 in whom the tract was detected only in the left hemisphere. This tract was spread significantly wider in the left than in the right hemisphere, and left lateralization was evident in male patients.
Based on its character, this tract was named the Broca-LSFG pathway. These findings suggest a close relationship between this pathway and language organization. The structural anatomy of the Broca-LSFG pathway may explain speech disturbances induced by LSFG stimulation that are sometimes observed during intraoperative language mapping.

Although the right prefrontal region is regarded as a silent area, chronic deficits of the executive function, including working memory (WM), could occur after resection of a right prefrontal glioma. This may be overlooked by postoperative standard examinations, and the disabilities could affect the patient's professional life. The right prefrontal region is a part of the frontoparietal network and is subserved by the superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF); however, the role of the SLF in spatial WM is unclear. This study investigated a persistent spatial WM deficit in patients who underwent right prefrontal glioma resection, and evaluated the relationship between the spatial WM deficit and the SLF.
Spatial WM was examined in 24 patients who underwent prefrontal glioma resection (right, n = 14; left, n = 10) and in 14 healthy volunteers using a spatial 2-back task during the long-term postoperative period. The neural correlates of spatial WM were evaluated using lesion mapping and voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping. In addition, the spatial 2-back task was performed during surgery under direct subcortical electrical stimulation in 2 patients with right prefrontal gliomas.
Patients with a right prefrontal lesion had a significant chronic spatial WM deficit. Voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping analysis revealed a significant correlation between spatial WM deficit and the region that overlapped the first and second segments of the SLF (SLF I and SLF II). Two patients underwent awake surgery and had difficulties providing the correct responses in the spatial 2-back task with direct subcortical electrical stimulation on the SLF I, which was preserved and confirmed by postoperative diffusion tensor imaging tractography. These patients exhibited no spatial WM deficits during the postoperative immediate and long-term periods.
Spatial WM deficits may persist in patients who undergo resection of the tumor located in the right prefrontal brain parenchyma. Injury to the dorsal frontoparietal subcortical white matter pathway, i.e., the SLF I or SLF I and II, could play a causal role in this chronic deficit. A persistent spatial WM deficit, without motor and language deficits, could affect the professional life of the patient. In such cases, awake surgery would be useful to detect the spatial WM network with appropriate task during tumor exploration.
Role of Rac1-regulated signaling in medulloblastoma invasion
Laboratory investigation

Medulloblastomas are the most common malignant brain tumors in children. These tumors are highly invasive, and patients harboring these lesions are frequently diagnosed with distant spread. In this study, the authors investigated the role of Rac1, a member of the Rho family of small guanosine triphosphatases, in medulloblastoma invasion.
Three established medulloblastoma cell lines were used: DAOY, UW-228, and ONS-76. Specific depletion of Rac1 protein was accomplished by transient transfection of small interfering RNA. Cell invasion through extracellular matrix (Matrigel) was quantified using a transwell migration assay. Mitogen activated protein kinase activation was determined using phospho-MAP kinase–specific antibodies, and inhibition of MAP kinase pathways was achieved by specific small molecule inhibitors. Localization of Rac1 and its expression levels were determined by immunohistochemical analysis using a Rac1-specific antibody, and Rac1 activation was qualitatively assessed by Rac1 plasma membrane association.
Small interfering RNA–mediated depletion of Rac1 strongly inhibited medulloblastoma cell invasion. Although depletion of Rac1 inhibited the proliferation of UW-228 cells, and of ONS-76 cells to a lesser extent, it stimulated the proliferation of DAOY cells. Depletion of Rac1 also inhibited the activation of the ERK and JNK MAP kinase pathways, and inhibition of either pathway diminished invasion and proliferation. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that the Rac1 protein was overexpressed in all medulloblastoma tumors examined, and indicated that Rac1 was hyperactive in 6 of 25 tumors.
The authors' data show that Rac1 is necessary for the invasive behavior of medulloblastoma cells in vitro, and plays a variable role in medulloblastoma cell proliferation. In addition, these results indicate that Rac1 stimulates medulloblastoma invasion by activating the ERK and JNK pathways. The authors suggest that Rac1 and signaling elements controlled by this guanosine triphosphatase may serve as novel targets for therapeutic intervention in malignant medulloblastomas.

Object. Acquisition of invasive and metastatic potentials through proteinase expression is an essential event in tumor progression. Among proteinases, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are thought to play a key role in tumor progression through the degradation of the extracellular matrix. In the present study, the authors examined the role of MMP-2 (gelatinase A) and membrane type 1 MMP (MT1-MMP), an activator of the zymogen of MMP-2, proMMP-2, together with tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2) in the invasion of astrocytic tumors in humans.
Methods. Analyses performed using sandwich enzyme immunoassays demonstrated that the production levels of proMMP-2 and TIMP-1, but not TIMP-2, are significantly higher in glioblastomas multiforme than in other grades of astrocytic tumors. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction indicated that MT1-MMP is expressed predominantly in glioblastoma tissues, and its expression levels are significantly enhanced as tumor grade increases. In addition, the expression levels and proMMP-2 activation ratio were remarkably higher in glioblastomas associated with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dissemination than in those not associated with CSF dissemination. In contrast, an examination of TIMP-2 levels showed a reverse correlation. Like MT1-MMP, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 were immunolocalized to neoplastic cells in glioblastoma samples. To study the roles of these molecules in the invasion of astrocytic tumors more fully, stable transfectants expressing the MT1-MMP gene were developed in a U251 human glioblastoma cell line. The MT1-MMP transfectants displayed prominent activation of proMMP-2 and invasive growth in three-dimensional collagen gel; however, mock transfectants and parental cells displayed noninvasive growth without the activation. The invasion and gelatinolytic activity of the transfectants were completely inhibited by addition of recombinant TIMP-2, but not recombinant TIMP-1.
Conclusions. These results indicate that MT1-MMP may contribute to tumor invasion and CSF dissemination of glioblastoma cells on the basis of an imbalance of TIMP-2.

We were blown away when the Darklight mini film came out in October (scroll down for full film), but this behind the scenes 'how it was made' is possibly even better (if you like that kind of thing)!
"When Matt Hunter, Matty Miles, and Graham Agassiz signed on to shoot Sweetgrass Productions' Darklight, they couldn't have predicted the need to go nocturnal for nearly a month. In this behind-the-scenes footage, the crew talks about life behind the lens and the difficulties of hitting some of the hardest lines in Utah and Oregon in nearly complete darkness."

If you haven't switched electricity providers recently, you could be overpaying – once your fixed rate deal ends, you're automatically placed on the electricity provider's standard variable tariff, which normally has the most expensive rate.
The fastest and simplest way to find the cheapest electricity providers and lower your power bill is to compare electricity rates and switch suppliers by letting them fight for your business.
Instead of ringing around each electricity provider, our comparison tool can find cheaper electricity deals and the best electricity prices in a matter of minutes, saving you time, money and hassle.
To get started, just pop your postcode into the box below. Or read on to find out how a cheap electricity deal can help cut your annual power bill and put more money back into your pocket.
What are the cheapest electricity prices available now?
Every supplier charges different electricity rates – the same supplier will often charge different rates depending on what electricity tariff you are on – but the cheapest electricity prices can usually be found on tariffs where you pay by monthly Direct Debit and all bills are generated online.
To find accurate costs, and see which cheap electricity tariff best suits your needs, you need to compare the whole market. You can do this for free using our impartial comparison tool – just enter your postcode in the box above to get started.
*Based on usage of 3100 kWh of electric per year . Shows average price across all regions. Assumes payment is made by Monthly Direct Debit. Only showing tariffs which are generally available across most of the VIC & NSW.
How to compare cheap electricity prices online
It should take no more than five minutes to compare the latest electricity prices, and find a deal that best suits your needs and budget. Check out the short video below to find out more, or enter your postcode above to get started.
All the information you need to switch can be found on your latest bill, so make a note of the following:
- The name of your current supplier.
- The name of the tariff you're on.
- How you pay for energy (online, BPay, Direct Debit, etc).
- Your monthly or annual usage, in pounds or kWh.
How to understand your power bill
If you're serious about cutting the cost of your energy bills, it makes things a lot easier if you can find your way around one – here's how to understand your energy bill. Make the switch by comparing and start saving today.
If you don't have a bill to hand, we can still run a complete comparison, but it may not be quite as accurate as we'll have to estimate your usage based on the answers to a few questions about your property.
Once we have all the relevant details, our comparison tool will gather together the most suitable electricity offers and show you how much you could save by switching. All you then have to do is pick the one you want to switch to, and we'll do the rest.
What happens when you switch electricity supplier?
Once you've picked a deal from our electricity tariff comparison table, your work is basically done, and your new supplier will handle the rest of the switch by letting your existing one know you're leaving and arranging a changeover date with them.
Your new supplier will get in touch with you via email or post to confirm your new tariff and payment details, you just need to check everything is in order and you're good to go. If you change your mind, you have a 14-day cooling-off period in which you can cancel the deal without incurring a penalty.
Then all you need to do is give your old supplier a final meter reading on the day of the switch, so they can send you your final bill. The whole process should take no more than 17 days, including the 14-day cooling-off period, and there'll be no digging or drilling at your property as the electricity will be supplied through the existing pipes.
On the day of the switch, you'll need to take a meter reading for your old supplier so they can send you a final bill.
Can you switch electricity supplier if you rent?
If you live in rented accommodation and pay your electricity supplier directly, you should be able to switch – just make sure you notify your landlord or letting agent, and find out if they'd prefer you to switch back to the original supplier when you move out.
If your electricity bills are included in your rental fees, or your landlord pays the bills and then charges you later, you won't be able to switch supplier yourself, but may find your landlord will switch for you – they don't have to, but it might still be worth asking.
Ways to save electricity
Unplug any chargers
There are many good ways how to be energy efficient and the easiest way is to start from your home. Unplug any chargers and switch off any appliances that you don't currently use or need to save energy and money.
Buy a room thermostat
Heating is one of the most efficient ways how you can save energy. You need fuel for heating and hot water. Something simple as a room thermostat can help to make a significant difference and you will save more money.
Turning off all lights
Maybe it seems like it can't make a difference but turning off all lights can make a significant difference when it comes to energy and money saving. Turn up only the lights you really need and you'll notice the difference.
Renewable energy resources
The best advice goes to the homeowners who can actually choose their own renewable energy resources. In most cases, energy saving is possible through getting better insulation which can reduce

Colorado is in the midst of an epidemic of opioid addiction, with 30 to 40 people in eastern Colorado dying each year from an overdose. Christin Sutter, Practice Facilitator and Community Liaison for the High Plains Research Network, spoke to the Rotary Club Wednesday about how the network is trying to combat opioid use disorder (OUD) through a new Implementing Technology and Medication Assisted Treatment and Team Training in Rural Colorado (IT MATTTRs Colorado) program.
"We're trying to bring resources out to our primary care clinics, training, some money so they can pay to get themselves to these classes, so that they provide some assistance to people who are suffering from opioid use disorder," Sutter said.
The program is funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Sutter noted the High Plains Research Network and Colorado Research Network are one of only five organizations in the country who received this funding.
"So we feel very fortunate to be able to be bringing this to our communities out here in Northeastern Colorado," she said.
Sutter highlighted how much of a problem opioid addiction has become, displaying maps from the Colorado Health Institute that show that the drug-related death rate in Logan County rose from 6.1 to 8.0 deaths per 100,000 residents in 2002 to 16.1 to 18.0 deaths per 100,000 residents in 2014.
While there are different ways of looking at addressing OUD, this particular project is trying to help primary care practices use evidenced-based tools to provide treatment to people suffering from OUD.
"There is medication that people can use to help them to get back to normal life, to be able to function with their family, get to work and take care of all the things that you do," Sutter said.
She shared some of the background information that they give clinics and practitioners. Opioids are drugs that bind to the opioid receptors; they can be naturally occurring or synthetic. They go by names such as Percocet, Vicodin, morphine, heroin, fentanyl.
Opioids, like any drug, can be dangerous, because over time you build up a tolerance to them and you need more and more of that substance to get the same effect that you had the first time. You can become dependent on opioids in just 10 days to two weeks.
"Addiction does not necessarily happen to everyone," Sutter said, explaining that addiction is when you start to combine dependence with a behavior. "Our brain basically gets hijacked by our need for this substance."
Those with an addiction will focus on how and when they'll get more opioids, to the point where they can't even function with normal day to day tasks in their life.
Research has found that oftentimes people have started using opioids for the right reasons, including helping with pain after a surgery or procedure.
"We're definitely not saying that no one should ever use an opioid. There are people who manage their chronic pain very well on an opioid over time. For other people it becomes an addiction and a problem," Sutter said.
It's interesting to note that many people are not getting their opioids from a medical professional.
Sutter shared a study that found that 55 percent opioid users obtained opioids free from a friend or relative; either someone just gave the opioids to them or they stole them from someone's cabinet.
The three focus areas of IT MATTTRs Colorado are primary care provider waiver training, primary care practice team training; and community level knowledge and awareness.
Under the Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000, primary care providers (doctors, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants) are allowed, with special trainings, to treat patients with OUD. IT MATTTRs Colorado is able to pay for primary care providers to attend these trainings.
Providers are being trained in MAT (Medication Assisted Treatment) for opioid use disorder. MAT is not a 30-day residential treatment; you can receive it as an out-patient. It includes medication to decrease cravings and withdrawal, but it is not just a drug; it includes long term support, including monitoring, counseling and maintenance.
Along with the waiver training for training for providers, IT MATTTRs Colorado is also working with primary care practices to provide training to help the whole team understand how the MAT process works.
"We really are just trying to help them understand how to recognize the right patient to even go through this," Sutter said.
The program is already far exceeding its goals. They wanted 40 clinics in Eastern Colorado to participate in the team training over two years and they had 40 signed up in the first two months, and they wanted to 10 providers to go through waiver training over two years and 16 signed up in the first six weeks.
Additionally, IT MATTTRs Colorado is educating the community through coasters that have been given to bars and restaurants and posters displayed around town with information about opioids and the program's website, itmatttrscolorado.org.
"I personally have delivered some of these materials and have just been shocked and kind of touched by how many people have family members, friends, that they want to be able to help them through some of this," Sutter said.

It may be fall, but hope "springs" eternal – or maybe it's the hope for spring that's eternal – in Italian luxe brand Gucci's garden-inspired autumn offerings at Neiman Marcus Westchester. From velvet to lace, unusual influences to bumblebee embellishments, Gucci proves nothing short of trendsetting. WAG selected a few pieces that we find particularly charming – and super chic, of course.
(1) Pictorial Flowers Velvet Dress with Bow
This high-cut dress incorporates some of the season's hottest trends – printed fabric and larger-than-life bows. Lined with crystal trim for added oomph, the high neckline and easy-breezy fit perfectly balance the sexiness of the high leg. Simply pair with a solid black tight when the cooler weather strikes, $4,800.
(2) Chantilly Lace Shirt with Bow & Florage Print Satin Pleated Maxi Skirt
A little classic, a little different and a sure head-turner. The black Chantilly lace shirt neutralizes the striking pattern of the print satin skirt, which features a floral design. The details of this delicate blouse include puff shoulders, black mother-of-pearl buttons and, of course, a black silk bow, $2,700. The bow motif is continued in the high-waisted skirt – which has a slenderizing effect – with black ribbon trim, $1,900.
(3) Viscose-Silk Velvet Shirt & Velvet Pajama Pant
Is there a better ensemble than a silky, viscose velvet outfit, reminiscent of the comfiest robe? The shirt features crystal embroidery on the collar, cuffs and pocket, with mother-of-pearl buttons and contrasting piping detail, $2,700. The pants continue the crystal motif, with detail on the button cuff, $1,980. Pair with a set of heels, as pictured, and you'll be the most stylish – and comfortable – woman of the hour.
(4) Porcelain Garden Print Silk Gown, Magnolia Blue/White
Delicate and dainty – but bold, very bold. This dress features an exquisite porcelain garden print, which is offset by a ruffled collar, a pearly and chain button front, bell cuffs, a ruffled front bib, a crystal and beaded brooch and, of course, a blue and red sequined web belt and bow, $7,300. Need we say more?
(5) New Jordan Bee-Jacquard Loafer, Multi
For those looking to make a statement in a more subtle way, these bumblebee loafers are the "bee-all". The shoes, which feature a 0.5-inch flat stacked heel and an apron toe, are adorned with an all-over bee print and a plastic, beaded ant, $760.
(6) Padlock Small Embroidered Shoulder Bag, Red/Multi
There's hardly a better way to complement the classic LBD (little black dress), than with a red statement purse. Featuring hand-embroidered strawberry appliques – yum – made with glass beads and sequins with nylon, as well as an embroidered bee appliqué, this fine leather bag is secured with a push-lock clasp – and a hanging covered key. $2,690.

The day before an African Union meeting in Pretoria to discuss Libya, Zuma reminded the South African National Assembly that the AU does not recognize the Libyan transitional government, despite the fact that Qaddafi is gone. These statements are part of what has been Zuma's consistent opposition to intervention in Libya, including the NATO airstrikes and unfreezing Libyan assets for the NTC. (South Africa ultimately agreed to the later, but only after pressure).
This is curious given that twenty African governments have recognized the NTC, including, Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, and even Sudan. Or maybe not all that curious.
South Africa commentator Greg Mills explains Zuma's quixotic stance, one that, as some commentators have noted, risks undermining South African credibility and effectiveness as a regional leader on foreign policy. Mills identifies six "drivers": "a visceral rejection of external involvement," which, he notes, likely has a racial dimension considering NATO's role in Qaddafi's fall; that South Africa is trying to reestablish its "radical credentials," which were damaged by South Africa's initial support for the UN resolution that brought NATO into the fray. This approach, Mills argues, is a low cost way of doing so, at least domestically. (Internationally, South Africa has likely diminished its political capital).
Mills' third driver is the impact of the Israel-Palestinian conflict on South Africa's Middle East policy, and its perceived similarities in South Africa with apartheid. Number four is "a predilection to replicate the South Africa negotiated solution," which Mill's argues the success of has been "distorted and mythologized"; and number 5 is the "misplaced notion" of a global power shift east."
Finally, and perhaps most damningly, is Qaddafi's proclivity for "spraying money around the continent and at its politicians," implying that at least some of the former Libyan leader's support has been purchased.

Off-season reading material
Baseball greats get book deals, right? With the Hall of Fame class now set for 2019, I thought I would take a look at books that focus on those players' careers. I was surprised to find that only on of the six has an autobiography already in print, and only one other has an announced release date for later this year.
- Mariano Rivera (out now): The Closer (a Spanish edition, El cerrador: Mi vida is also available, as well as a Young Readers Ediiton)
- Edgar Martinez (coming June 11): Edgar: An Autobiography
I'm not sure there would be much demand for a Lee Smith tell-all, or even a Harold Baines bio (although I would be interested in that one). Mike Mussina's humble disposition will probably prevent an autobiography from him. I heard an interesting story, and I don't remember if it was on MLB Network's coverage or elsewhere. Mussina tanked a grade in school so he wouldn't be valedictorian. He didn't want the spotlight.
There are a handful of Roy Halladay books geared toward younger readers:
- Roy Halladay: Superstar Pitcher (Playmakers)
- Roy Halladay (Amazing Athletes)
- Roy Halladay (Robbie Readers)
- Four Aces, One Expectation (focuses on Halladay, Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt, and Cole Hamels)
Time will tell if a fuller examination of Halladay's life will be offered, or if biographies of Smith, Baines, or Mussina will pop up.
Fun Cards: "Baseball Immortals" Roy Halladay
A dominant force on the mound, the Blue Jays and Phillies relied on the late Roy Halladay to eat innings and win games. Halladay was the Cy Young Award winner twice, and finished in the top five for the trophy five other times. Eight times an All-Star, Halladay won 203 games and struck out 2117 batters in his 16-year career. The BBWAA recognized him as a Hall of Famer in his first year on the ballot, and he will be inducted this summer, less than two years after his untimely death.
Goodbye, Roy Halladay
(May 14, 1977 – November 7, 2017)
Roy Halladay perished in a plane crash today in the Gulf of Mexico. He was one of the most dominant pitchers of his generation, winning 203 games and striking out 2117 batters in his 16-year career with the Blue Jays and Phillies, 1998-2013. Halladay was an 8-time All-Star, 2-time Cy Young Award winner, and finished in the top 5 for the Cy Young five other times. In 2010, he threw the second no-hitter in postseason history as the Phillies topped the Reds in the NLDS.

The Essential Games of the Philadelphia Phillies (2012)
The Essential Games of the Philadelphia Phillies
New Video, 2012
Approx. 10 hrs., 14 mins.
When choosing a team's greatest games, there is sure to be some controversy at some point. Two of these games are obvious choices. The team's 2008 World Series victory over the Tampa Bay Rays and Roy Halladay's 2010 postseason no-hitter against the Cincinnati Reds would surely make anyone's list. And certainly, one of the games from the 1993 NLCS against the Braves would probably be included, but the last game of that series was not the most exciting. And in 1980, a year in which the Phils won the World Series, the game chosen was from the NLCS. A good game, no doubt, but in my opinion it does not trump the World Series.
Despite the shortcomings in the game selection, this is still a fine set to own. Where else can you see Nolan Ryan pitching to Pete Rose and Mike Schmidt, or Greg Maddux facing Darren Daulton and John Kruk? Anytime you have the chance to own a no-hitter on DVD, especially a postseason no-no, you have to do it.
Phillies phans won't be able to root for their team in the 2012 postseason, but with this collection they can reminisce about their past pheats.
Games included in the set:
- October 12, 1980, vs. Houston Astros – 1980 NLCS Game 5
- October 13, 1993, vs. Atlanta Braves – 1993 NLCS Game 6
- October 27, 2008, vs. Tampa Bay Rays – 2008 World Series Game 5
- October 6, 2010, vs. Cincinnati Reds – 2010 NLDS Game 1
A no-hitter? REALLY?
Wow. That's all I can say about it right now. Just, Wow.
I need to go cry a little bit now. Remember though, it is a best-of-5 series. We can still do this. WE CAN STILL DO THIS!

Tom Opdenbrouw was named the fifth head softball coach at Tennessee State in May 2014.
Opdenbrouw has spent the last four seasons as the Director of Operations for the TSU football program. Prior to his stint with the Tigers, he served as an assistant softball coach for two seasons under Joyce Maudie.
During his time as football's director of operations, Opdenbrouw also served as the an assistant softball coach at Ensworth High School and head coach at Nashville Christian School.
Opdenbrouw came to TSU after holding the head coach position at perennial NAIA power, Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia, Ky. Opdenbrouw left the Blue Raiders after posting over 200 wins. He guided LWC to three consecutive 30-plus win seasons over the last three years.
Under his tutelage, the Blue Raiders won two Mid-South Conference Championships in addition to two runner-up finishes. LWC earned three bids to the Regional phase of the NAIA National Championships. Opdenbrouw's commitment to excellence on the field and in the classroom is evident in his coaching of 14 Regional All-Stars, 42 Mid- South Conference All-Stars, 10 Disney Academic All-Americans, and 67 MSC Conference All-Academic team members.
Prior to his post with Lindsey Wilson, Opdenbrouw served as an assistant coach for the NCAA III SUNY Utica/ Rome softball team in Utica, N.Y. Opdenbrouw helped the Wildcats set their school record for wins. In addition to his coaching duties, he served as the recruiting coordinator for all women's sports and as the athletic academic coordinator for at-risk students.
Opdenbrouw's first collegiate coaching experience was garnered at SUNY Oneonta in Oneonta, NY. He was an assistant for six years as the Red Dragons became one of the NCAA's most successful programs of the 1990's. They won the NCAA National Statistical Award for double plays turned in a single season in 1994 as well as the school's first ever New York State Collegiate Championship. His passion for the game earned him a coaching position representing the United States in a good will tour against the top teams of Australia in 1996.
Prior to college, Opdenbrouw served in the US Army where his performance was highly decorated. His experience includes tours in Desert Shield, Desert Storm, as well as the unification of Germany.
Opdenbrouw, originally from Hyde Park, New York, earned a bachelor's degree in elementary education with a speech communication concentration along with a New York state coaching certification from SUNY Oneonta in 1996. Opdenbrouw and his wife Jenny reside in Nashville with their three daughters, Sarah, Hannah and Leah.

To my great relief, this is the last European Tour event to be screened at unsociably early hours for several months. The BMW Asian Open is the final event in what used to be known as the ?Far East Swing? but now encompasses almost half the calendar year. Distinctively among the Asian events, this one has been dominated by non-Asian Tour regulars. 4 of the 5 previous winners were European, while South African Ernie Els won by an incredible 13
shots at this venue two years ago.
The Shanghai course has undergone considerable changes in the meantime. The rough is still not penal, but the planting of several hundred new trees should make this a test of accuracy and positional play rather than power. Wind could also be a major factor. Previous winners such as Els, Harrington and Jiminez tends to suggest a top-class player coming out on top, which would be a rarity in the 2007 golf season.
Els makes obvious appeal on his 2005 blitz, but several doubts remain. With the Heritage Classic only finishing on Monday, he will have had a hectic week. Asides the jetlag worries, there will have been little or no time for a practice round on the new layout. Some will also be deterred after he failed yet again to convert a winning position at Harbour Town, but I think this criticism is slightly harsh. He played three fine rounds, including a fine 71 in very tough conditions on Monday. Losing by a shot to a player who holes consecutive par chips on the 71st and 72nd hole was simply unlucky. All things considered though, I?d prefer to look for each-way value than taking 6/1 about the Big Easy.
Retief Goosen makes his course debut and comes right into the reckoning on the back of a superb weekend at the Masters. Paul Casey played a blinder at Augusta too, and finished 5th last year. My doubts about these two stem from the course changes. I?ve never been convinced either have been at their best on tight, positional golf courses. Again at simple figures there must be alternative each-way value.
One class act whose odds are drifting markedly on a weekly basis is COLIN MONTGOMERIE. This is a dangerous strategy for the bookies, as Monty remains a winner capable of top-class golf even if he can now be wildly inconsistent. We have to overlook three very poor efforts in the US, though I can?t say any of them surprised me as Colin has never looked a factor on those courses in the past and has generally underperformed Stateside throughout his career. Prior to that bad run, Monty had consecutive top-10 finishes in high class fields in Dubai and the Johnnie Walker Classic. Asia has become a regular and reasonably happy hunting ground for Colin in recent years, and I think the new course layout will suit him down to a tee, much more so than last year when he finished 3rd.
We got no value whatsoever backing SIMON DYSON last week when he pulled out sick after just 2 holes, thereby counting as a competitor for betting purposes and preventing a refund. I doubt last week?s bug will affect him now, in fact he may strip slightly fresher than most for having the weekend off. In three outings on the course, Dyson has finished 2nd, 5th and 14th so must come into the reckoning.
My final pair are both speculative 66/1 punts. Firstly, JEAN-FRANCOIS LUCQUIN is a player who likes the course and comes here in good heart. He has made the top-8 on two from three visits, a position he has also made on three of his eight most recent starts. He seems to thrive on courses that reward accuracy and positional play. Similar comments apply to GRAEME STORM, another decent player overdue a first Tour win. I thought Storm did nothing wrong in the heat of battle three weeks ago in Portugal. He played some superb stuff from tee to green and may have won with a bit more luck on the greens and a less inspired opponent than the amateur Benevides. Promisingly, Storm finished 13th on his course debut last year, and should improve for the course changes.
PREVIEW For a preview of the BMW ASIAN OPEN click here
A fairly weak field by PGA Tour standards assemble for what looks a wide-open event in New Orleans. The event returns to TPC Louisiana for the first time since restoration after Hurricane Katrina. Over 300 new trees have been grown, but this is only a small fraction of the 2000 lost. Plus with various holes and green changes, previous course form is pretty much irrelevant. With so much more room on a long course, one might think the
longer hitters will be at an advantage, but good putting also looks essential on tough, sloping greens.
Bearing in mind recent results as well, it all smacks of a shock winner to me so I?m keeping stakes low. LUCAS GLOVER makes for an obvious selection at 28/1 given the weakness of this field. He fits the perfect profile, fairly long off the tee and an excellent putter. Though I?m not placing too much emphasis on previous course form, it must bode well that Glover finished 3rd here two years ago when a considerably lesser player than today. Lucas
played superbly at the Masters for a long way, and looks a very strong contender in this grade of event.
If the course does favour long-hitters, BUBBA WATSON must come into the equation at 66/1. Runner-up on his penultimate start in Houston, and top-8 on three of his last eight PGA Tour outings, I can?t see why his price is this big. Its quite clear too that Watson?s form tends to come where his huge distance off the tee is best rewarded. Bubba is a first-time winner in waiting in a tournament of this stature.
For my final selection during a quiet week, I?m having a speculative punt on CHARLEY HOFFMAN. Hoffman is one of the more promising youngsters on the PGA Tour and has already won. He hasn?t really followed up since that Bob Hope triumph, but this week?s conditions should suit his game and his best showing for a while is expected.

Gary Lineker caught eating Walkers Smoky Bacon crisps live on Al Jazeera TV
Football pundit apologises after being caught while presenting Champions League game
DOHA: Football pundit Gary Lineker was forced to apologise last night after being caught eating a packet of Walkers Smoky Bacon crisps live on Al Jazeera TV.
The former England striker and Walkers spokesman was caught out while presenting the UEFA Champions League match between Manchester City and Real Madrid when the camera switched to the studio for half time. Having not noticed the cue, Lineker was broadcast tipping the last remaining crumbs from packet down his throat, before burping loudly.
"I apologise unreservedly for my actions," Tweeted Lineker later in the evening following a tirade of angry messages posted by viewers across various social media sites.

The Perfect Pour
Image Source: TheDrum.com
The late great Anthony Bourdain once said that "Good food is very often, most often, simple food." The same notion can be applied to marketing. Often the best ideas are the ones so simple that you wonder why no one has ever thought of them before. Recently, Heinz Canada achieved marketing simplicity genius status by introducing the "Pour-Perfect" bottle – a standard Heinz ketchup bottle with a tilted label, designed to answer the age-old question: what's the most effective way to get ketchup out of the bottle?!
We've all been there. Some tap the "57" on the neck of the bottle. Others pound the bottom of the bottle impatiently. Many swear by holding the bottle at a 45-degree angle; or at a 35-degree angle. Some inexplicably use a knife to try to coax the ketchup out. (If you are one of those people, I'm sorry, we can't be friends). The options are endless.
But with the "Pour-Perfect" bottle, Heinz Canada put all of this lore to rest with a repositioned label that appears upright when one pours at exactly the right angle for optimal ketchup extraction. Brilliant! While the brand has also been known for some high-profile celebrity partnerships (looking at you, Ed Sheeran), this was a perfect case study in taking a basic and universal way that consumers are already engaging with the brand and matching it with a fun, unexpected, and relatively low-key stunt that provides consumers something of value in the form of precious ketchup-pouring education. Best of all, the "limited edition" label was revealed in just one test market – Toronto – but made international headlines thanks to a short and sweet video recapping the whole effort, seeded with all the right editorial media targets (ah, the wonders of PR).
Ultimately, Heinz created a perfect reminder that memorable marketing ideas need not be over-the-top…they just require thinking outside the bottle.

Syria urges lifting of intl. bans to facilitate fight against coronavirus pandemic
The Syrian government has called for the removal of sanctions against the West Asian country amid the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in the region.
"In light of the dangerous escalation represented by the coronavirus and the international alert to confront this pandemic and to contain it and prevent its spread, the US and the European Union are continuing to impose illegitimate unilateral coercive measures on a number of states, some of which are hugely suffering from the spread of the virus, in a blatant violation of human rights and the simplest humanitarian values and principles," an official source at Syria's foreign ministry said on Thursday.
Syria "whose people have suffered and still suffer from the terrorist aggression and the illegitimate unilateral coercive measures which affect the life of the citizens and particularly the health sector, calls on the international community to respect the principles of the international humanitarian law and the sanctity of the human life, and to work on lifting those sanctions immediately," the source added.
Syria has delayed parliamentary elections, shut schools and canceled most public events to prevent any potential spread of the virus in the country.
The source noted that that Syria calls for immediate and unconditional lifting of international sanctions and urges other states to break the illegitimate siege of the country.
The Syrian foreign ministry said Damascus holds the "US and its allies fully responsible for every human victim" of this pandemic as the sanctions have already hampered access to medicine and medical equipment in many countries.

"Here they are."
He looked at them both and went into the bosses office. "What is it, Ralph?"
"Have a seat. I've been told you've been sleeping with my daughter and I'm going to have to fire you for it."
"Even though it would have been a pleasure, I haven't."
"Prove it!" Ralph bellowed.
"How does one prove that something didn't happen?"
"I can and I'm firing you."
"This just isn't your day, Ralph." He stood and dropped one of the envelopes on his desk. "You can't fire me. In that envelope is my resignation effective yesterday at five." He left the office stopping at the door. "I didn't sleep with your daughter. I've been sleeping with your wife."
