Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday Tour touched down in Tokyo, Japan, last week, and following one of the rapper's colorful stage shows, things took a devastating turn: One of Minaj's fans was murdered after attending the May 25 concert.

On Thursday (May 31), Minaj took to Twitter to send condolences and deny allegations that her dancer was involved in the incident.

"Saddened to learn one of my precious fans; found tragically murdered in Japan. My love & prayers are with the family of Nicola Furlong," Nicki wrote.

The 21-year-old fan, a foreign exchange student from Dublin City University in Ireland, was found dead in a Tokyo hotel room after attending Minaj's show at Zepp Tokyo a few hours earlier.

An early report on PerezHilton.com stated that Furlong and her friend Sarah Maher linked up with Minaj's backup dancer James Blackston and another musician, Larry Perry, after the show, heading to the men's hotel rooms. Furlong was later found strangled to death in the room, while Maher reported that she was sexually assaulted by both men in a taxi.

After sending her condolences to the slain fan's family, Minaj addressed rumors that her dancer was involved, tweeting directly at the celebrity gossip blogger. "My dancers had nothing to do w/this tragedy. No one in my entourage was questioned or arrested. They all flew home from Japan," she wrote. "That person on your [site] is NOT my dancer. We do NOT know the men in custody. Too much misleading information."

According to IrishCentral, Tokyo police have released a statement confirming that they arrested two American men in connection with the crime. James Blackston, 26, and an unidentified 19-year-old have been taken into custody. "These two men allegedly took advantage of a female unable to resist due to the fact she was in a comatose state from a highly alcoholic beverage," the report states, adding, "As that is an indecent act, they have been charged with quasi forcible indecency."

The police also confirm Maher's story of being harassed in the taxi, noting, "On a taxi ride between Shibuya and Shinjuku, they took advantage of a woman by touching her body."

Furlong's body is expected to arrive in her hometown of Curracloe, Ireland, on Thursday, where she will be laid to rest. The 21-year-old was studying at the Takasaki City University of Economics in Takasaki, Japan.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) ? Turkey and Japan expelled Syrian diplomats on Wednesday, joining the U.S. and several other nations in protesting a weekend massacre of more than 100 people in Syria, including women and children.

The move came as Syrian forces bombarded rebel-held areas in the same province where the Houla killings occurred, although no casualties were immediately reported, activists said.

Survivors blamed pro-regime gunmen for at least some of the carnage in Houla as the killings reverberated inside Syria and beyond, further isolating President Bashar Assad and embarrassing his few remaining allies. The Syrian government denied its troops were behind the killings and blamed "armed terrorists."

The U.N.'s top human rights body planned to hold a special session Friday to address the massacre.

Damascus had said it would conclude its own investigation into the Houla deaths by Wednesday but it was not clear if the findings would be made public.

The Houla killings prompted Western nations to expel Syrian diplomats in a coordinated protest, with the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Bulgaria ordering top Syrian diplomats to leave on Tuesday.

Syria's state-run media on Wednesday denounced the diplomatic expulsions, which began Tuesday with announcements by the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Bulgaria, as "unprecedented hysteria."

Turkey, Syria's neighbor and a former close ally, joined the coordinated protest on Wednesday. Turkey has been among the most outspoken critics of the Assad regime. It closed its embassy in Damascus in March and withdrew the ambassador. Its consulate in Aleppo remains open.

The Foreign Ministry said it ordered the Syrian charge d'affaires and other diplomats at the Syrian embassy in Ankara to leave the country within 72 hours. The consulate in Istanbul will remain open for consular duties only.

"It is out of the question to remain silent and without any reaction in the face of this action, which amounts to a crime against humanity," the ministry said in a statement on Wednesday. "This grave crime against humanity by those who have attempted a massacre of civilians cannot go unpunished."

Japan also ordered the Syrian ambassador in Tokyo to leave the country because of concerns about violence against civilians. Japan's foreign minister, Koichiro Genba, said his country was not, however, breaking off diplomatic ties with Syria.

The announcements came a day after the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Bulgaria ordered top Syrian diplomats to leave.

U.N. special envoy Kofi Annan met with Assad on Tuesday in Damascus to try to salvage what was left of his peace plan, which since being brokered six weeks ago has failed to stop any of the violence on the ground.

The Al-Baath daily, the mouthpiece of Assad's Baath Party, said Syria won't be intimidated by such "violent rhythms" and would remain standing in front of such "ugly, bloody and dramatic shows." It added that "Syria will not tremble as they think."

The government's Al-Thawra newspaper also blasted the Western decision, calling it an "escalation that aims to besiege Annan's plan and enflame a civil war."

Tensions have escalated as more information emerges about the May 25 killings in Houla.

The U.N.'s human rights office said most of the 108 victims were shot execution-style at close range, with fewer than 20 people cut down by regime shelling.

U.N. peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous said there are strong suspicions that pro-Assad fighters were responsible for some of the killings, casting doubt on allegations that "third elements" ? or outside forces ? were involved, although he did not rule it out.

On Sunday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi said a committee comprising the ministries of justice, defense and interior was set up to investigate the massacre and would have the job done within three days.

Meanwhile, activists said Syrian troops shelled restive suburbs of Damascus and rebel-held areas in the central city of Homs on Wednesday.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees said at least five people were killed in the Damascus suburb of Douma. Both groups had no details about casualties in Homs, which is the provincial capital of the province that includes Houla.

Supervolcanoes evolve superquickly

Huge underground magma chambers appear and erupt within just several hundred years

Web edition : 5:31 pm

The biggest eruptions on Earth may happen faster than volcanologists had thought. Giant blobs of magma appear underground and then pour onto the surface within centuries, suggests a new study of a California supereruption.

If the work holds true for other volcanoes, it means the most powerful eruptions don?t have magma chambers beneath them for very long. So if big changes start happening, like the ground rising or new geysers spouting, volcanologists might expect an eruption sooner rather than later. Yellowstone, for one, experienced a supereruption about 2.1 million years ago.

?The fact that at Yellowstone there?s no giant magma body right now doesn?t mean that in hundreds to thousands of years we couldn?t have one,? says Guilherme Gualda, a geologist at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. ?By understanding these time scales better, we know better what to expect.?

Gualda and his colleagues report the discovery May 30 in PLoS ONE.

The researchers studied 760,000-year-old rocks from Long Valley in eastern California. These rocks, known as the Bishop Tuff, formed during one of the biggest eruptions known, which spread some 600 cubic kilometers of ash and other debris across the landscape. Earlier studies, which looked at crystals such as zircon, suggested that the Bishop magma had sat underground, chemically evolving and slowly crystallizing for more than 100,000 years before erupting.

Gualda?s team looked instead at crystals of quartz. Certain properties of the quartz ? such as how much the element titanium migrated within it and how glass pieces within it grew rounder over time ? can indicate how long ago the quartz solidified within the liquid magma. That process would begin almost as soon as the magma body appears, the researchers? calculations showed. Once quartz forms, gas pressure builds up and eventually forces the magma to erupt.

Quartz would have crystallized less than 10,000 years before the eruption ? and usually more like 50 to 3,000 years, the team reports. The other studies that used zircon, and found a much older age, may represent a longer-term history of volcanism across the entire region, Gualda says.

Research at other supervolcanoes has shown how quickly an eruption can happen once magma starts moving toward the surface (SN: 3/10/12, p. 12). ?What we?re finding is that it wasn?t there for very long to begin with,? says Gualda.

The discovery supports the idea that magma can accumulate rapidly before supereruptions, says Erik Klemetti, a geologist at Denison University in Granville, Ohio, who has found similar fast changes in zircon crystals from New Zealand eruptions. Still, he says, ?this study really doesn?t address a key question ? just how do these large magma bodies initially form??

For now, Gualda is leaving that challenge to others. He is working to apply the new finding to other supervolcanoes to see whether they play by the same rules as Long Valley.

Cruz, Hixon set to carry load at WR for Giants

Associated Press Sports

updated 3:57 p.m. ET May 30, 2012

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - As the Giants again begin the process of sorting out a dilemma among the wide receivers, Victor Cruz and Domenik Hixon will have to provide much-needed stability.

For Cruz, picking up the offseason slack for Mario Manningham's free-agent defection to San Francisco and key playmaker Hakeem Nicks' fractured fifth metatarsal, won't be as hard as the task that faces Hixon. Cruz's 82 catches and a team-record 1,536 yards gave him that credibility.

But Hixon has to prove that his recovery from right ACL tears the last two years is complete, and that his old speed and reliability has returned.

That process has already started, as Hixon and Cruz lined up opposite each other Wednesday in their second organized team activity session as first-unit wideouts for the Giants.

"I feel great," Hixon said. "To be honest, it's been a long two years."

Frenchman released by leftist rebels in Colombia

Colombian rebels on Wednesday freed a French journalist kidnapped 33 day ago, releasing him in a remote jungle village in a move the French president hailed as a "happy end."

"Apart from the fact that I was held for a month, everything went very well. I cannot complain," France 24 correspondent Romeo Langlois told reporters after arriving in the hamlet of San Isidro with a group of rebels.

Langlois, 35, had been captured at the end of April by rebels from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) during an attack on a Colombian army unit he was embedded with to film a counter-drug operation.

"They treated me like a guest," Langlois, dressed in gray shirt and black pants, said of his captors. "They were always very respectful."

The rebels handed over Langlois to a team from the International Committee of the Red Cross that also included French envoy Jean-Baptiste Chauvin and longtime peace activist Piedad Cordoba.

News of the release was met with widespread relief in France.

French President Francois Hollande expressed his "great joy" and thanked Colombian authorities, the French ambassador to Bogota and the ICRC for "the happy end."

Langlois would return to France quickly, he added.

Langlois' parents, watching for signs of their son's release in Paris, were overjoyed at the news of his freedom.

"We are very, very happy," his mother Aline told France 24. "We started to feel things were going in the right direction a few days ago and now we're just happy."

Despite his ordeal, Langlois, who has been reporting from Colombia for a decade, vowed to keep a close eye on the decades-long strife between the FARC and the military.

"I stay convinced that one has to keep following the conflict," Langlois said.

Eager to welcome Langlois, locals in San Isidro, a village of 300 people that has no running water or electricity, had sacrificed several cows for a celebratory barbecue.

During the lengthy cerebration that ensued, the rebels publicly apologized for holding Langlois as "prisoner of war."

"I accept the apologies but I don't agree with the decision to keep me for 33 days," Langlois countered.

Villagers had also put up banners, one of which read: "We need the state to be there -- not with its weapons and bombs, but with its investments."

Local official Nelson Cardenas told AFP the kidnapping had helped refocus global attention on the ongoing strife.

"The detention of the journalist was good for us," he said. "Not because he was deprived of freedom, that's bad. But because it attracted the attention of domestic and foreign journalists."

In the early hours of the morning, the ICRC delegation had left the southern town of Florencia, the capital of Caqueta department, in a convoy of three cars bearing the Red Cross symbol.

Six hours later, they arrived at the pre-arranged handover spot located at least 100 kilometers (60 miles) away, an AFP journalist with the delegation said.

At the request of the rebels, the Colombian army agreed to suspend all military operations in the area for 36 hours.

The rebels released a "proof of life" video of the 35-year-old reporter on Monday, showing him in a jungle setting, speaking on camera and in apparent good health, despite having received a superficial bullet wound in the arm shortly before his capture.

Thanks to mediation by Cordoba -- a former Colombian senator -- and the ICRC, the guerrillas have released dozens of hostages since 2008, most of them police officers or troops captured during clashes.

President Hollande, as one of his first moves after taking office earlier this month, appointed Chauvin as an envoy to help secure the release of Langlois, underscoring the importance given by the new administration in Paris to resolving the kidnapping.

The last French national held by the FARC was Ingrid Betancourt, a former Colombian senator and presidential candidate. She was abducted during her presidential campaign in February 2002, along with her assistant, Clara Rojas.

Betancourt and 14 other hostages -- including three US military contractors -- were freed in an operation by the Colombian military in July 2008.

Founded in 1964, the FARC is the oldest and largest leftist guerrilla group in the country with some 9,200 fighters.

The FARC renounced the practice of kidnappings for ransom in February but has stepped up attacks on Colombian security forces over the past year in remote parts of the country.

Soho Food Feast 2012 doing it for the kids | Fifteen Pickles

Saturday was an absolutely gorgeous day for the Soho Food Feast ? the annual event held to raise money for the local Soho Parish Primary School. Returning to St Annes Churchyard for it?s second year, Summer had finally decided to rear it?s head and?everyone at this sold out event was in great spirits, enjoying the fun, family-friendly, garden party vibe.

Soho Food Feast

The Soho Food Feast comes across as a smaller, more intimate and better value Taste of London at ?6 for entry and ?2 per dish. The line up of restaurants was excellent and included the likes of Barrafina, Bocca Di Lupo, Dehesa, Hix, Polpo, Quo Vadis, St John Hotel, The Ivy, The Meatwagon and many, many other huge names in the restaurant scene. Also present were top chefs including Fergus Henderson and Peter Gordon.

Kopapa: Pomegranate glazed lamb ribs with herby cous cous and Turkish yoghurt

It was certainly also more relaxed than Taste of London as there wasn?t the need to rush around trying to cram as many dishes in as possible before an allocated time slot was up. Plenty of time to sit back, relax, have a nice drink from Milk & Honey who were manning the bar and soak up the atmosphere.

Brindisa: Jamon melon

As well as food and drink there were cooking demonstrations, raffles, vegetable carving competitions, auctions, face painting for the kids and funky tunes on the sound system.?We also purchased some amazing cheese from?No.2 Pound Street?who provided us with such a rapid and plentiful tasting session that my head was spinning by the end of it.

Dehesa: Lamb ribs with picada

We sampled a variety of dishes but firm favourites were the delicious and tender grilled lamb ribs from Dehesa and an amazing, creamy, melt in your mouth strawberry cheesecake from Groucho Club.

Groucho Club: Strawberry cheesecake

Soho Food Feast was a fabulous day out in the sunshine. Lots to see, do and taste! Stuff your face all for a good cause! I will definitely be keeping my eye out for tickets again next year.

Bocca Di Lupo: Veal tongue, peara (bread & bone marrow 'polenta') home-candied mostarda & salsa verde

Kopapa: Plantain, sweet potato and coconut curry with tamarind dressing and quinoa curry leaf salad.

The Union: Rabbit Terrine and prune on walnut bread

How Ecommerce Videos help in Online Business Promotion? | Blog ...

Ecommerce websites have been around for quite some time and there is no secret that they have captured the market. Ecommerce solutions have huge potential to reach a cross section of people and induce them to buy products and services online. It is not surprising that these websites are successful as customers are given the choice of looking around an ecommerce site, checking on various products, dropping a few items in the shopping cart and going for the best deal. Moreover with an easy payment gateway people find the e-shopping experience enriching. Nowadays, a trend that is fast catching up and is helping businesses promote their sites better is ecommerce videos.

Videos are one such multimedia element that has always been popular on the Internet. Search engines too tend to index videos compelling businesses to incorporate video element in their site. Moreover, it is a great way to attract new customers. Today there is a growing interest in ecommerce videos as they attract and impresses new and old customers easily. It is one of the effective ways to show a product or service to the customer. It is definitely better than to textually describe a product. To make the customers believe, to get them like the product, to show them the different facets of the product a video has proved to be much more effective. Studies on ecommerce development have also showed that ecommerce videos help customers buy products and services much quickly than the traditional listing format.

How Ecommerce Videos help in Online Business Promotion?

Helps Describe Products:

With the help of videos, products can be easily described. Instead of clicking a few images of the product and letting users view those, the videos give a three-dimensional view of the product. Thus instead of just zooming into an image, the viewer can literally visualize how it will appear in real life. With the help of a video, there will be no discrepancy whatsoever on how the real product will be.
Creative Use of Videos: Businesses can use videos in many ways. Rather than just describing the product in a bland manner, the video can enhance ecommerce development. You can tell a story about the product, run through some interesting history about the product, share lesser known facts about the company producing it etc. These extra tit-bits definitely interest the users.

Estimate Traffic and Predict Sales:

As Google and other search engines have always favored videos and index them frequently including video links to the ecommerce store is really advantageous. By keeping a track on the kind of traffic that views these videos, businesses can easily forecast sale. If considerable amount of attention is laid on visitors and the time they spend on the website, it gets easier to predict sales projection.

Triggers Call-to-Action:

With a traditional ecommerce solution, a user would have to select the product they are interested in and read through the features of the products, compare the product with other similar ones and only then reach a decision. But with an ecommerce video you can cut short the process and trigger a faster action from the visitor.

Increasing Popularity Through ?How-To? Sections:

Visitors relish the assistance that ecommerce videos provide them with. The ?how to? video section helps suggest better products for the customer. It is possible to make suggestions as viewer profile is already available with the website.
Provide Additional Information About Products: Not concentrating on the sale pitch for once, ecommerce videos serve another purpose which also helps in promotion. Such a video helps in providing additional information about the products, something that the visitor did not know earlier. This element really helps in promotion as you will get more visitors to the site because you have extra information about something popular.

The market for ecommerce videos is still growing and there is lots of scope for ecommerce stores to capitalize on the trend and make the most of it.

Which Diva looked better in CM Punk gear: AJ or Kelly Kelly?

AJ and Kelly Kelly dressed in CM Punk gear

The WWE Universe was buzzing about CM Punk's match against Daniel Bryan on Raw SuperShow, but it wasn't just about the intense action in the ring. Bryan's ex-girlfriend AJ showed her true colors by wearing a cutoff version of Punk's official T-shirt and matching armbands as she cheered on The Straight Edge Superstar from ringside. The Geek Goddess drew a wide range of reactions from our fans on Twitter, both for her fetching ensemble and for coming to the WWE Champion's aid after the match. (VIDEO)

AJ isn't the first WWE Diva to don The Straight Edge Savior's look, however. During the Oct. 31, 2006 edition of ECW on SyFy, Kelly Kelly rocked the Halloween contest with her cutoff Punk T-shirt, taped-up wrists and assortment of lookalike tattoos. Kelly Kelly's outfit didn't notch her a victory in the contest, but it sure made Punk take notice of his admirer's fashionable effort.

So, members of the WWE Universe, which Diva looked better in Punk gear: AJ or Kelly Kelly? Cast your vote in this WWE.com poll?and let us know what you think!

CCSVI: Was it worth it? ? MS Alternatives

As of today, this is Ryan?s report on how he feels:

Still have the weakness in the legs since Mexico (he didn?t have it while we were there ? will discuss later).

The weakness in the legs goes in spurts. ?Don?t know why. ?When the right hip goes out I look like an old man.

Numbness and tingling is still there. ?On a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the worst I?ve ever had it ? it?s currently a 1 or 2. ?Of course I don?t know if it?s really that little or I?ve just become so use to it. ?There?s been no improvement since Mexico.

I don?t feel any better than I did before I left.

I have good days and bad days and I don?t know why that is. ?There is no reason for the good days and same for the bad.

I am hoping in 6 months I will see more results. ?I feel like there is something in my lower body that needs fixed.

One thing I can say is that I?m not as tired all the time like I was before.

When my body feels OK, my balance is fine (body feeling OK means Ryan?s hip is in). ?My hip and low back dictate everything (in terms of aggravating symptoms).

My optic neuritis is better.

My brain fog, generally speaking, has improved ? but I still have it sometimes.

My perception of Ryan?s surgery

I really don?t know what to think at this point. ?I am playing wait and see. ?I can definitely say that his stamina is better than before. Ryan?s even been doing yoga on a regular basis! The weird thing in all of this is that within 48 hours of Ryan?s surgery he was a totally different person. ?It was amazing. ?He was doing things that he could have never done before. ?Swimming in the ocean and walking around the resort all day without getting tired? ?Unheard of!

So why is it that when we get home, things basically go back to normal?

I don?t know, but I do have a good guess?or two.

One is the electrical issue. ?Have you read the book Earthing? ?If you haven?t I highly recommend it. ?It is all about your electrical relationship to the Earth, and MS is an ?electrical? issue they say?

I feel that being in Mexico, walking in bare feet, grounded to the earth and swimming in a highly electrically charged ocean played a part in Ryan?s symptoms. ?Also, he was not exposed to a million EMFs like he is at home ? especially being a school teacher where EMF exposure is TERRIBLE. ?Ryan has more electrical devices in his classroom than is even reasonable ? eight or so computers, phones, outlets, projectors, etc. ?It?s crazy!

The second guess is the chemical issue. ?We live in a valley of heavy spray use by the orchardists. We have all kinds of chemtrails sprayed over us all the time. ?It has been shown that these chemtrails have high levels of aluminum and barium in them ? and aluminum is a terrible neurotoxin. ?Perhaps Ryan?s immune system has a lot more to deal with here at home?

So the question remains, was it worth it? ?We can?t say as of yet. ?First, we have at least 5 more months before we can really make a judgement (based on Ryan?s improvements). ?Second, we are waiting to see how Ryan?s symptoms change based on his environment. ?How will he feel when he is out of school for the summer? ?How will he feel when he goes on his ?Man Trip? and is totally away from any EMFs and surrounded by nature?

We also have to keep in mind that most people that have the procedure and see huge improvements are much, much worse than Ryan. ?I think some of Ryan?s co-workers still don?t realize he has MS! lol

Next blog I will give the costs of the procedure, how we set it up, and my analysis of the overall hospital experience.

Gibb's son played 'I finally died' line for dad

By Gael Fashingbauer Cooper

It's a touching line in one of the Bee Gees' saddest songs, and for singer Robin Gibb's son, Robin-John Gibb, it was a line he wanted to share with his father just minutes after the musician died on May 20.

Robin-John, 29, known as RJ,?told the British newspaper Sunday Express the band's 1968 tune "I Started a Joke" played a role in his farewell to his father.

Said Gibb, "One of my favourite Bee Gee songs, 'I Started A Joke,' has the line: ?I finally died, which started the whole world living? and I played it on my phone, put it on Dad?s chest and we sat together. I?d tried to hold it all in until then but that?s when I bawled like a baby."

Gibb also said that he heard the same song in a restaurant the night after his father died, and that it was played?at the exact time Robin Gibb had passed away. "We all fell silent and listened to it," he told the newspaper.?"I just broke down and cried.?

Robin Gibb's family used music in an?attempt to help the Bee Gees founder come out of his coma back in April, singing and playing familiar songs at his hospital bedside.?The singer did awaken from the coma, but died about a month later.

His son says his father's cancer had actually gone into remission and was too small to detect, but that kidney failure eventually killed the singer. He was 62. His brothers Andy and Maurice preceded him in death.

RJ Gibb said a private funeral will be held in June, and will include Bee Gees tracks, Gibb's favorite hymns and possibly songs by the late Roy Orbison, a friend of Robin Gibb. A public memorial service is scheduled to be held at London's St Paul's Cathedral in September.

"I haven?t just lost a father, I?ve also lost my best friend," RJ Gibb said.

I'll Have Another's trainer has a lot on his plate

Doug O'Neill said he slept "like a log" on the red-eye from California, and soon after landing in New York on Sunday, he saw his superstar colt for the first time in a week. I'll Have Another immediately brightened a rainy morning.

"He looked great," the trainer said at a news conference at Belmont Park. "His legs were ice cold and he cleaned up his feed tub. His coat looks great and his stride is terrific. We have all the confidence in him, and if he stays strong and healthy, he should be tough to beat."

The 3-year-old son of Flower Alley will try on June 9 to become the 12th Triple Crown winner, and the first since 1978, in the 1 1/2-mile Belmont Stakes. O'Neill is stunned to be aiming for racing immortality. "I can't believe I'm in this spot," he said. "I think I'm proof that if you have a great team and an amazing horse, miracles can happen.

"Winning the Santa Anita Derby, I didn't think life could get better than that. Then we won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. I think it takes a pretty special horse to do that, and if we're lucky enough to win the Triple Crown, I think he would be very deserving."

I'll Have Another jogged "4 or 5 furlongs" Sunday and galloped "about 7 furlongs," which O'Neill said will be his typical morning routine. He does not plan a timed workout before the Belmont. "I think the amount of energy he puts into his daily gallops is the reason why an official workout isn't important in my mind."

O'Neill spent six days in Southern California with his wife, Linette, and their children, Daniel, 9, and Kaylin, 7. The time recharging with the family wasn't without serious stress, however. On Thursday, the California Horse Racing Board suspended O'Neill for 45 days because his horse Argenta tested for an excessive level of total carbon dioxide after finishing eighth in an August 2010 race at Del Mar.

When asked if he had been "on pins and needles" while awaiting the verdict, O'Neill said, "I wouldn't say I was like O.J. or anything like that."

The CHRB agreed with O'Neill that there was no evidence Argenta received a "milkshake," racetrack slang for a mixture of baking soda, sugar and electrolytes administered through a tube down a horse's nose. O'Neill was suspended 15 days for a "milkshaking" violation that occurred in April 2010 with Stephen's Got Hope, who finished seventh in the Illinois Derby.

"I was thrilled the CHRB said what I'd been saying all along, that there was no wrongdoing," he said. "I'm not sure why I got suspended after they said that."

The ban will not begin until July 1 at the earliest. Asked whether he would appeal, O'Neill said, "We'll check out all our options after the Belmont and let the attorneys handle that question."

Besides focusing on the "Test of the Champion," Team O'Neill plans to have as much fun as possible. As he did in Louisville and Baltimore, owner Paul Reddam has rented a house for O'Neill and his assistant trainers -- his older brother, Dennis O'Neill, and Jack Sisterson -- and exercise riders, grooms and hot walkers. O'Neill would not reveal the location. "If I told you," he said, "I'd have to kill you."

The morning after the Preakness, Reddam emphasized the importance of continuing to stay loose. "I have no idea what's going to happen between now and June 9," he said. "So my advice to everyone is to keep the tension down. This game is supposed to be fun, and we don't need to try to win the Triple Crown with a heavy heart."

Marketing in Australia, 7 huge mistakes businesses are making | The

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

When it comes to Marketing in Australia, Marketing in Australia, Point Danger, Queensland, ?many small business owner seem to be really struggling to come to grips with the changes that are happening.

In the not to distant past all you had to do was run a?Yellow-pages?ad and a couple of promotions in the local?newspaper. And through the doors the hordes came.

The game has completely changed with the invention of so?called?smart phones, and iPads. These devices have caused the way we consume our media to change rapidly.

Last week there was even the story of the Smart Phone App Amazon has helped develop?where?people can now come into your store scan a bar code on your?products, and it will tell?them?if?they?can buy it cheaper somewhere near your shop, or online!

So many business owners rightly think that they need to get on to this social media band wagon ASAP. And rightly so. I mean if ?~~Marketing in Australia~~ is changing as quickly as you are saying Beanie, then this is where ?they need to be right?

Yep absolutely spot on. They?all need to be on social sites like Facebook to compete. But herein lies a big?problem?

They go and sign up for a Facebook Business Page account, it?s free so how hard can it be to use right? Just take my offline marketing (which isn?t working) and slap it on Facebook and Bob is your Uncle right!

Wrong

In fact I wrote another post about this very subject the other day. It was?called?wait for it?

Facebook won?t?fix?your crap marketing.

I won?t go right ?into it here?but the gist of the story is?

If your marketing won?t work offline, there is no way in hell it?will?work on Facebook.

So what can you do? Quite a bit actually, in fact I am going to give you seven mistakes you can stop making today! Do these immediately, and you will stand out online like the?proverb-able?dogs! Ready? Here we go.

Because?the platform they set up on is free, they think it needs no budget to maintain it! Fatal mistake, the platform may be free, but the marketing isn?t.
They don?t know who they are selling to. If you want to sell on social sites you have to be specific. You must know exactly who your ideal customer is so that you can share the kind of information with them that they want to hear about, and you can?create?offers they are going to want to buy.
They don?t have a reason to make offers. Pete Godfrey said this?on Facebook not long back, ?If you want to make more money, you have to make more offers more often? So?you?need to create yourself a yearly marketing calander that will allow you to make offers without looking like rug?salesman.
Their Facebook page looks like a sandwich board. In other words they just post their specials on there. They don?t use the platform as a tool to educate their market,?and?warm them up to buy.?Sandwich?boards do not cut it on Facebook or any?other?social sites.
They neglect email marketing. Facebook is great but guess what? They own your business page, you don?t. You are?just?renting?space off of them that they can take away. Any successful social marketing?strategy?must include email marketing.
They don?t create any of their own content. To stand out online you must be seen as an expert. This is done by creting content like, blog posts, audio and video. Those smart phones we were?talking?about?before?have all of the tools that you need to do this.
They don?t leverage live streaming or webinars. These are not hard to run and are so?powerful?becuase you are not selling one on one?anymore, but one to many.

There you go, that is more than enough to get you started straight away. Do these things and you will stand out and be one of the few?business?that will thrive in the future.

Marketing in Australia isn?t about working harder, but working smarter! Got a smarter idea that you would like to share? Please feel free to post it into the comments below.

Cheers Beanie,?the?Social Tradie
