The need to capture attention and connect with the emotional side of consumers has never been greater. We’ll walk through a few of the details shaping the space right now, so you can get a sense of our approach.
Retail & consumer goods is a broad sector, representing everything from the brick-and-mortar experience at a big-box store to purchasing that premium, organic, free-trade matcha green tea you can only buy online. Though there are many differences between these two scenarios, one thing remains the same: the need for consumer attention. In an increasingly automated, on-demand world, attention is a fleeting thing—but there’s hope. Brands who listen in to their customer base can capture hearts and minds by focusing on their brand storytelling, their ability to evolve as an organization, and the different ways they integrate the digital purchasing experience with real-life scenarios.
Here are a few industry drivers in the retail & consumer goods space to help decision makers anticipate needs and make smart decisions.
In an increasingly automated, on-demand world, attention is a fleeting thing—but there’s hope. It all starts with listening to your customers.
Even today, as retail giants like Coca-Cola invest in smaller, story-driven brands like Topo Chico, there are still decision-makers who have to be convinced that storytelling matters. It does. While there are some purchases that are more rational than emotional, brand and storytelling aren’t optional—they’re critical. Part of what binds that brand story to the consumer’s experience is how the message of relevance is addressed. It isn’t enough to be known. Retailers and consumer packaged goods (CPG) producers alike must understand the real purpose their brands play in the lives of the consumer—and align that with their own values for an authentic brand experience.
So how do you create an authentic brand experience? We can help. Softway’s seasoned brand thinkers can design interviews, guide work-sessions, and even lead full workshops to help identify the core truths behind your business—so you can truly connect with your target audience. Learn more here.
Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) aren’t new to this sector. But with an emerging emphasis on globalization, and a push for many companies to divest support services and processes, M&A has become a strategy for growth we’ll be seeing more of moving forward. While any deal to combine brands can create big opportunities externally—it can also create a host of issues internally. That’s why leaders need to approach any combined entities with caution and care. A few questions to ask: How will this affect our teams? Which values will stay the same after we combine—and which will change? Has our vision changed—and can it be clearly communicated?
Believe it or not, there is a way to seamlessly navigate an M&A from the inside out. Along with updating your brand, Softway can help train your leadership teams to adopt a growth mindset—challenging their own preconceived notions and making room for new ideas. Interested? Here’s one place to start.
When today’s customers are ready to purchase, they’re ready right now. The checkout experience must be seamless—and orders must be fulfilled as quickly as possible. But is it enough to efficiently address customer needs once they interact with your brand? Today’s disruptors would say no. That’s because they’re integrating digital and physical assets to inspire customers to live the brand.
For example: we all know caffeine is addicting on its own, but when combined with a brand like Starbucks—it’s nearly impossible to quit. That’s because Starbucks is a master at combining their customer-focused cafe experience with a highly intuitive mobile app. The app saves your favorite drinks, makes recommendations based on the current weather in your area, and even “talks to” registers in stores—so baristas at locations you’ve never visited before can ask about your go-to drinks.
Want to get in the game? The only way to do so successfully: have a clear understanding of your customer’s need, your brand’s core essence, and use that knowledge to craft experiences to extend that story. With our knowledge of marketing, strategy, and technology, the Softway team can help you set big-picture goals and then implement engaging, immersive solutions. Learn more.

BrewSEO did a pretty good list of citation sources, so wanted to share it with you guys. Most of the majors are on here combined with some less well known sites that may be good as well.
Here is a long, long list of local citation websites. This is a big part of the list that we have used on our own clients. As you can imagine, every client requires unique linkbuiding and citation solutions. To help you find the best resources in your niche, we included a tutorial at the bottom of this list that will teach you how to find even more citations resources to fit your company. These links will take you directly to the signup pages of the websites.
Are you new to local SEO? If so, make sure you keep your “NAP” (name, address, phone number) 100% consistent across every website. If you list your company as “company inc” on one site, do not list it as ‘company incorporated” on another site, or just “company.” I suggest you use a Google Doc with your companies’ information written down in your official format. A lot of citation websites will want your hours of operation, a company description and a list of tags or categories. Write all that information down in your Google Doc as well. Remember that in local-search the rule of thumb is to as consistent as possible.
Click through to see the full citation list here.
- "The Gazette", as it is enlisted there, actually gets their data from Local.com (and Acxiom supposedly, but mostly from Local.com), and there is no way to add a listing to the site itself. Even if you check the link that they provided, it actually goes to the local.com dashboard.
- There is no way that I know of to add a listing to city-data.com. It sources business information from third-parties.
- Gogobot.com is a travel website. And again, I don't really think there is a way to add a listing (unless you advertise, of course).
- Not sure what Workface.com is doing there.
- MerchantCircle.com is mentioned twice.
- SacBusiness.com is a business directory for Sacramento only.
- Wheretogo.com is a web directory, not a business directory.
- MagicYellow.com and YellowUSA.com are pretty much one and the same website. If you add a listing to one, you can't add to the other.
- Ca-Business-Directory.com is a business directory for California only.
- You can't add a listing to Where.com. All listings come from CityGrid.
- Weblocal.ca is a Canadian business directory (its counterparts in the US is Yellowbot.com).
- PortlandOregon.com is obviously a site dedicated to Portland.
- First time I hear of RedFounder.com. Apparently this is BrewSEO's project.
- CityStar.com offers paid-only listings.
- TripAdvisor.com is a travel-only site.
- Not sure what TED.com is doing here.
If all these are taken into account and taken care of (mostly removed, or at least moved below where the author mentions some location-specific and industry-specific sites) the list would then become a good one.
I just share what I find that 'might' possibly have info that could be helpful to others.
Then I let folks like you that ARE specialists in this area flush it out!
Thanks Nyag for pointing out the inaccuracies!
Hi. Thanks for reading through our list so thoroughly. We actually took some of your tips. Especially the ones where our "city specific listings" were out of place.
Some of the points that you made were inaccurate, but like our original list no one is perfect. For example, your comment on city-data wasn't correct. You can log in here, City-data.com All Business Profiles and create a profile for your business. I've created multiple business accounts on this site.
Lastly, and this is mostly just an opinion, a citation and a business directory is not the same thing. Sites like Ted.com, the Inc community, and even social media sites give you the ability to add your business' NAP to your profile. A citation does not have to be in a directory to help your local SEO. I've added some of these sites to the list to help people think outside-side the box.
One of my clients had a powerful PR team before I started working with them. Adding a NAP to their press-releases was a great way to build local citations... even though their PRs were not "business directories."
Thanks so much for coming by to clarify a few things. Appreciate it.
Oh and I think this is actually the page to add a listing at CityData.
Thanks for paying attention, and I am happy you found some of my comments to be useful.
In regards with city-data.com, this is something new I just learned, so that is one of the main reasons why I love such discussions and hope more people from the industry will be joining the forum. I would be happy if you point out all mistakes in my initial comment, as I like when people correcting me (that's the easiest way to learn, isn't it).
5 Ridiculously Sneaky Citations Most Small Business Never Think to Get!
I agree. Friendly debate is invaluable. I would not have noticed some of the things you pointed out in my list, unless you brought it to my attention. Thanks again!
I love David's local SEO ranking factors. Thanks for sharing the other links as well, I'm going to go read over them.
Oh how I do love this place!
I should warn you, city-data deletes tons of business profiles if they aren't "unique". So if you're submitting listings for chains (like McDonalds), you have to work really hard to make sure the business description is different than other existing listings. It drove me nuts so I stopped using it.
I also like this list...it's long I haven't got through them all yet so I am not sure if they all work.
We have our own internal list of 115 with step-by-step instructions on how to submit to them (which we update frequently). I would post it on here but I'd probably get in a lot of trouble with my boss if I did lol.
I noticed when I found that direct submit link at city data they seemed to really stress UNIQUE descriptions and sounded like they were pretty strict, so thanks for confirming!
Thanks for sharing Phil's list too. Anything from him is good stuff!
Great discussion people, thanks for the info!
I've started making quite a few citations on all the video hosting sites also, as opposed just just You Tube like I used to.
Uk and US seem fine but getting citations for OZ is a right pain in the arse! barely any in comparison.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced an investigation into a multidrug-resistant Salmonella outbreak linked to raw turkey products.
This is the fourth Salmonella multistate outbreak reported so far this summer with previous outbreaks linked to Kellogg’s Honey Smacks and pre-cut melon announced in June, and a Spring pasta salad outbreak announced earlier this week.
As of November 8, 2018, 164 cases of Salmonella Reading have been reported across 35 states. Sixty-three of the 164 individuals have required hospitalization for their illnesses and 1 death been reported in California.
Those who are ill range in age from less than 1 to 91 years with a median age of 45; available data indicate that 56% of these individuals are female. The reported cases have illness onset dates ranging from November 20, 2017 to October 20, 2018.
As part of the investigation, health officials conducted interviews with 85 individuals who had fallen ill. The investigators found that 44 of the 85 interviewed individuals (52%) reported preparing or eating turkey products that were purchased raw—including ground turkey, turkey pieces, and whole turkeys. Additionally, 3 individuals reported that they fell ill after pets in their home consumed raw ground turkey pet food. Only 3 of the 85 individuals reported working in a facility that raises or processes turkeys or lived with someone who did.
Early epidemiological evidence has not indicated a common source of the contamination and ill individuals reported eating different types of products purchased at a variety of locations. The strain of Salmonella Reading has been identified by the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS) in samples collected from 22 slaughter facilities, 7 processing facilities, and from live turkeys. Whole genome sequencing showed that the strain identified in the samples and in the ill individuals are closely related, providing further evidence of a common source of infection.
The CDC reports that a total of 68 isolates from ill individuals and 84 isolates from the samples collected at the facilities and from animals contained genes for resistance to some or all of the following antibiotics: ampicillin, streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, gentamicin, and kanamycin. These antibiotics are not typically used to treat Salmonella infections, so resistance is not likely to affect the antibiotic choice of the health care provider.
Because this strain has been identified in live turkeys and in raw turkey products, it is possible that this is a widespread issue in what the CDC refers to as the turkey community. The CDC and USDA-FSIS have met with representatives from the community to attempt to reduce Salmonella contamination in live turkeys and in raw turkey products.
Symptoms of Salmonella include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps which typically develop 12 to 72 hours following exposure to the bacteria. Health care providers living in areas affected by the outbreak should be cognizant of these symptoms and consider Salmonella as a potential diagnosis if a patient presents with them.
The investigation is ongoing, but the CDC will provide updates as more information becomes available.
For the most recent case counts associated with the multistate Salmonella Reading Outbreak tied to Raw Turkey Products, check out the Contagion® Outbreak Monitor.

A relaxing one-hour drive from the bustling market of Bukittinggi in the province of West Sumatra lies the beautiful Harau Valley, - or sometimes called the Arau valley - where lush green ricefields are hemmed in between huge granite cliffs. Here dozens of waterfalls tumble down from 80 to 300 meters height into the valley below, cut by the Batang Arau River. No wonder, therefore, that the Harau Valley is sometimes known as the Yosemite of Indonesia.
Here gibbons and macaques and a variety of wildlife still roam freely as this area in the Lima Puluh Kota district has actually been designated a nature conservation, covering some 669 acres. Its beautiful landscape, its peaceful serenity interrupted only by the calls of the macaques and the chirping of birds, make the Harau Valley the perfect holiday getaway.
Here one waterfall is named the Bunta Waterfall or locally called Sarasah Bunta that pours down fresh water from the highlands with three other waterfalls nearby. It was first visited in 1926 by a Dutch mayor. A carved stone indicating the year when the mayor visited the waterfall is still there expressing the beauty of this valley. Other the waterfalls are called the Akar Barayun, Sarasah Luluh, and Sarasah Murai.
One theory has it that the Harau Valley came into being as a result of a tectonic fracture on an ancient land, with parallel rivers running through it. As one part of the land sank, while the other rose, the waterways broke, and waterfalls eventually ensued from the spillways above the rocky hills. Local scientists believe that this theory may prove to be true.
On the other hand, German geologists who had conducted a study here found that the huge granite rocks found in the area are in fact identical to those found on the ocean bed. Thus, there is now another theory that the valley may have once laid at the bottom of the ocean.
Public transportation is available for those wishing to spend the entire vacation time in and around Bukittinggi. Else, renting a minivan or a motorbike will guarantee the time well spent for day trippers to these Minangkabau highlands.
Ketambe is the jumping off point for trekking into the Gunung Leuser National Park, which is listed as a World Heritage site in combination with two other national parks in Sumatra, Kerinci Sablat and Bukit Barisan Selatan.
Tangkahan is well-known as the hidden paradise of Gunung Leuser National Park. This place is an Ecotourism area in the Langkat District, North Sumatra. The peaceful jungle retreat is located along the Kuala Buluh River next to the dense rainforest, just 2.5 hours far from Bukit Lawang driving on a bumpy road through palm oil plantations and rural villages.
The two villages framed the Tangkahan area Namo Sialang and Sei Serdang village, with the estimated population of 7,433. Livelihood of the villagers are mostly by farming, oil palm, nature rubber, sweet oranges and limes are some of the main local corps commodity. It is the perfect place to lay back from strong traveling and spend a memorable time with seven rehabilitated adult Sumatran elephants and a few small calves who work together with the rangers to patrol the rainforest.
This tiny, remote village was practically built on the logging trade in the 1980s and 1990s, because the people became aware of the damages by such activity. They collectively decided to stop illegal logging and transform the area into a functional, self-sustained ecotourism destination. So in April 2001 the community banded together to form the Tangkahan Tourism Organisation (Lembaga Pariwisata Tangkahan – LPT) and fixed regulations prohibiting the exploitation of the surrounding rainforest. So the Conservation Response Unit (CRU) was born – a team of Sumatran elephants and their mahouts that helps safeguard the national park to protect it from encroachment. When its bath time at the elephant camp on the outskirt of Gunung Leuser National Park tourists are allowed and charged to help. By joining the elephants by their afternoon bathing or taking a trek on an elephant you will support this local initiative.
Riding elephants are arranged jointly by local communities, the national park authorities, and local and International NGO’s. All profits are used for community development, social programs and nature conservation. The elephants originate from areas where human encroachment on elephant land has caused conflicts, causing the wild elephants to lose their habitat and forcing the authorities to round them up and move them to government camps. The elephants are among the few to have been tIn the year of 1994, this very area was one of the illegal logging exit points out of national park. The robbing was done in view of the matters that the price of lumber were soaring high by that time. Along with the illegal logging incident, local visitor were starting to realize the beauty of this yet another Indonesian paradise. It’s beautiful scenery with it’s virgin forest and crystal river are the Batang serangan River and Buluh River.
unexpectedly, the crowds of visitor have given yet other alternative incomes for the local people. Thus, has succeeded in broadening people’s perception and knowledge about the forest itself. Apparently, the forest ( the national park ) can give far more valuable earning that illegal logging action.
Located near the border of the Park, Tangkahan Village is becoming an exemplary site of community-based ecotourism. Within this pilot project, former illegal loggers have learned to become trekking guides. Gaining their livelihood from the beauty of the forest, they are now the best guardians of its natural wonders.
The Gunung Leuser National Park in North Sumatra is a hidden paradise, one of the last places you can experience the rainforest at it’s best. Majestic trees, thick lush tropical vegetation interspersed with beautiful rivers, waterfalls, caves combine to make this one of the most beautiful places on earth. This is also home for many endangered animals such as the Sumatran orangutan, the Sumatran tiger and the Sumatran elephant, to name but a few, and also reptiles and amphibians such as frogs and snakes. If you are lucky, you will see them in forest.
It is also the only place in Indonesia where you can venture into the jungle on the back of your own elephant, exploring parts of the rainforest that would be difficult to reach otherwise. This is the place to come if you want a truly exclusive and unique experience combining rainforest exploration with camping and above all with riding elephants.
Drive from Hotel about 45 minutes to a village call Koto Baru where you start bicycle passing small road to several villages on the slope of Merapi Mountain where it is a nice spot to enjoy the fantastic view, where you can see the town of Bukittinggi, rice field terrace and visiting place where people working on making knife, axe, swords etc traditionally.
Stop will be made at coffee shop in the villages where you can get contact with local people during drinking coffee, tea etc and even it is possible to visit the house of local people or try working on the rice field with farmers.
After breakfast we transfer to Medan International Airport.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will visit Ayodhya on 31 May (Wednesday) just a day after an CBI court in Lucknow framed charges against BJP leaders L K Advani, M M Joshi, Union minister Uma Bharti and other accused in connection with Babri Masjid demolition case.
Reportedly, the Chief Minister will offer puja at the makeshift temple at the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid complex. According to media reports, CM Adityanath will attend the birth anniversary programme of Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas head Mahanat Nritya Gopal Das, who is one of the accused against whom CBI court framed charges on 30 May.
Advani, M M Joshi and Uma Bharti have been charged with criminal conspiracy in the 1992 Babri mosque demolition case by a special CBI court.
The court, which earlier rejected their discharge petition, framed charges against Advani (89), Joshi (83), Union minister Bharti (58) and three others under Section 120 (B) of the IPC (criminal conspiracy).
The three others are the BJP's Vinay Katiyar (62), VHP's Vishnu Hari Dalmiya, who is in his late eighties, and one-time Hindutva firebrand Sadhvi Rithambara (53).
The accused had argued against the framing of charges against them, asserting that they had no role in the razing of the mosque and had tried to stop it. Their discharge petitions were rejected by the judge.
The court is hearing two separate cases relating to the demolition of the 16th-century mosque.
Six others accused in the second case -- Ramvilas Vedanti, Baikunth Lal Sharma , Champat Rai Bansal, Mahant Nritya Gopaldas, Dharam Das and Satish Pradhan -- were also charged with conspiracy and offences such as promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, etc, and defiling a place of worship with the intent to insult a religion.
Vedanti and the other five were, under various IPC sections, also charged with imputations prejudicial to national integration, committing deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings, making statements leading to public mischief, rioting and unlawful assembly.

True Bethel Baptist Church, Belmont Housing Resources, and Creative Structures Services are teaming up to construct a 30 unit residential development at 858 E. Ferry Street. The $6.6 project is contingent on receiving financial assistance from the NYS Department of Housing and Community Renewal. It would be built on a remediated former industrial site in the Delavan-Grider neighborhood, across from True Bethel church, and provide housing for families whose household income is less than 60 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI).
True Bethel Townhomes involves the construction of four multi-family residential buildings and a community center on a 2.94-acre site. There will be 10 two-bedroom units, 14 three-bedroom units, and six, four-bedroom units and parking for 72 cars. Five of the residences will be ADA-accessible while the remaining 25 units will be handicap adaptable. Design features of accessible units include roll-in showers, lowered countertops, lever-type faucets and door handles, tilt mirrors in bathrooms, and visual door bells and fire alarms. Entrances to accessible units will be at-grade with automatic door openers. Silvestri Architects is designing the project.
Unit amenities and finishes include carpeting throughout bedrooms and living dining areas, vinyl flooring in kitchens and bathrooms, drapery rods and/or mini blinds, energy efficient ranges/ovens and refrigerators, ample storage closets in bedrooms, and central air conditioning. Design features of units and residential buildings have also been incorporated to increase resource efficiency, reduce environmental impacts, and provide long-term cost savings. An initial review by the development team’s Green Build Expert suggests True Bethel Townhomes will exceed minimum performance standards in the LEED for Homes Program and achieve Silver Certification.
The community center features a site management office, community room with full kitchen, laundry facilities, a computer room with internet access, and an activity room. A service coordinator will provide tenants with assistance in locating services from other agencies, assist tenants in completing forms, and other services to promote their economic and healthy wellbeing. Regular life-skills workshops will also be held, including presentations on financial fitness, budgeting, and how to establish and properly use credit.
True Bethel Townhomes will also feature ample green space augmented by landscaping features to increase aesthetic appeal. Features will complement existing land uses adjacent to the development site. Exterior patios with furniture and a children’s play area will be provided near the community building for resident outdoor recreation.
Belmont Housing Resources for WNY, applicant, developer, and management agent, will acquire the site, obtain financing, coordinate all members of the development team, and supervise construction. The selected General Contractor for the development is Creative Structures Services, Inc.-aka CSS Construction; who is a local Buffalo owned general contractor/Construction Manager firm with significant multifamily experience. Belmont Housing Resources for WNY will also market, rent-up, and manage through the project’s extended use period. True Community Development Corp will be a co-developer in the project and obtain financing for the project.
The Buffalo Common Council signed-off on designating the group as preferred developer of the property last month. The Department of Housing and Community Renewal will announce grant awards in August. If successful, work on the project will start next spring.

The popular pick for National Player of the Year in the preseason was Duke’s Grayson Allen.
Allen is on this list, but well below what anyone would have anticipated after his up-and-down junior season. He’s also an example of how difficult it is to rank the top 25 players in the NCAA tournament since the tourney is kind of a reset.
This is not a list of who had the 25 best seasons this year, although that was strongly taken into consideration. The top two, for instance, are the two favorites for National Player of the Year, Villanova’s Josh Hart and Kansas' Frank Mason.
Also taken into consideration was overall talent and ability to dominate the college game. This is not an NBA mock draft.
The top freshmen, who will make up most of the NBA draft lottery, are represented, but only because those included have been dominant on the college level.
There were a lot of candidates left off the list who had legitimate cases for inclusion.
It's not fair when the best shooter on the floor is 7'0". That's the luxury Arizona has in Finnish freshman Lauri Markkanen.
Markkanen is one of the most skilled 7-footers to come through college basketball in a long time. In addition to draining threes, he can put the ball on the floor and occasionally score from the post as well.
Markkanen doesn't take a lot of shots, but he makes the most of his opportunities. He averages 15.8 points per game and has the best offensive rating (129.8) in the country among players who use at least 20 percent of their team's possessions, per KenPom.com.
Sindarius Thornwell has been the key piece in Frank Martin's rebuild at South Carolina, and Thornwell is the epitome of a Martin player. Hard-nosed. Tough. Doesn't back down from anyone.
Thornwell has always been able to get buckets, but he's way more efficient this season. He upped his three-point accuracy from 33.3 percent to 39.1 percent and his free throws from 76.4 percent to 83.2 percent.
The Gamecocks struggle to score at times, but Thornwell can at least keep them in games almost all by himself. He put up 34 points at Kentucky this season and 44 points in a four-overtime loss to Alabama. He's averaging 21.0 points and 7.2 rebounds on the season.
Ethan Happ is the most unique star player in the country. He plays in a system that has always allowed its skilled big men to stretch the floor and shoot jumpers, but Happ is allergic to jump shots—he's attempted seven all season, according to Synergy Sports.
Happ, at 6'10", plays defense like a guard, using his quickness and anticipation to go for steals. He ranks 13thxx in steals rate, per KenPom.com, and he's the only player in the country taller than 6'6" to rank in the top 50 of the category.
Happ averages close to a double-double (13.9 points and 9.0 rebounds), and even without a jumper, he's a tough cover because of his quickness, footwork and the ability to change arm angles and use different hook shots around the basket. He's truly one of a kind.
Grayson Allen hasn't had the year everyone expected, but he still has his moments that remind everyone why the expectations were so grand.
Allen has been slowed by injuries and has had his mental battles because of the attention he received from the tripping incidents.
But the NCAA tournament is sort of a reset, and the Blue Devils have a chance to go deep if they get the good Allen. That version of Allen is a slashing daredevil who can also burn defenses from deep.
The Blue Devils have only one other guy on this list, but arguments could be made for Amile Jefferson and Jayson Tatum appearing as well. Jefferson is Duke's defensive MVP and rock, and Tatum is the most gifted talent on the roster. It's just hard to justify more than two top-25 guys on a team that lost seven ACC games.
SMU has quietly been one of the most dominant teams in college basketball the last few months, and Semi Ojeleye is a big reason why.
The former Duke forward found an ideal landing spot at SMU, where Tim Jankovich wisely utilizes him as a small-ball power forward.
Ojeleye is a matchup nightmare because he's too quick for big men, who have to guard him on the perimeter because he shoots 43.1 percent from deep, and too powerful for smaller defenders. Ojeleye is averaging 18.5 points per game, and he ranked first nationally in offensive rating among players who use at least 24 percent of their team's possessions, per KenPom.com.
An argument could be made for Jalen Brunson as Villanova's most valuable player, and that's quite the compliment considering he's teammates with National Player of the Year candidate Josh Hart.
Brunson averages decent numbers (14.7 points and 4.2 assists), but more important than the numbers is the poise with which he runs the Wildcats. He rarely makes a mistake and does a great job of putting his teammates in position to succeed.
Brunson doesn't have elite quickness, but he's effective changing speeds, and he's one of those smooth lefties defenders always seem to struggle checking. He's also a shot-maker, especially inside the arc, where he shooting 61.4 percent. That's second-best nationally among starting point guards.
Donovan Mitchell arrived at Louisville as a sick athlete who was a highlight waiting to happen.
As a sophomore, he's evolved into a star with some skill. He's improved his jumper (36.3 percent from deep) and his ability to create off the bounce. Combine that with his athleticism, and he's difficult for defenses to handle.
Mitchell also is one of the best perimeter defenders in the country because of his quickness, strength and length, measured at a 7'4" wingspan. He averages 15.7 points and 2.1 steals, making him one of the top two-way guards in the country.
No one is more difficult to check off the dribble in college basketball than the lightning-quick De’Aaron Fox.
Fox is a blur with the basketball in his hands and has a soft lefty touch when he gets into the paint. His mid-range jumper is inconsistent, but when he’s on, he can take over a game.
Fox is also a nuisance on the defensive end. His combination of quickness, length and endless energy makes him one of the top defensive point guards in the country.
I'm not sure there's been a more fun three-point bombing big man in college basketball since West Virginia's Kevin Pittsnogle.
Mike Daum is must-see TV because every game there's a good chance he's going to go off. He's averaged 30.8 points in his last 13 games, and he's gone for 51, 30, 33, 18 and 37 in his last five, carrying the Jackrabbits back to the NCAA tournament after going just .500 in Summit League play this season.
The sophomore shoots 41.6 percent from deep, and defenses have to be aware of him at all times because he can score from just about anywhere.
Bonzie Colson has a mid-major body with a high-major game. Colson is 6'5", and 6'5" post players should not be able to dominate in the ACC. Heck, most 6'5" posts aren't even playing at the D-1 level.
Colson kills it because he's super skilled and knows how to use angles and his body to get his shots. He averages 17.1 points and 10.2 rebounds, and he's expanded his offensive repertoire this season by adding some range to his jumper. He made a total of five threes his first two seasons at Notre Dame, and he's already made 20 this year, shooting a solid 39.2 percent from deep.
Joel Berry was North Carolina's most valuable player during the run to the title game last year. He hit a ton of big shots and provided a steady calm for the Tar Heels.
It's been more of the same this year for Berry. He's UNC's most consistent shooter (41.8 percent from deep), and he's averaging a career-best 14.8 points per game.
Berry also deserves credit for the efficiency the Heels have operated with the last two seasons. They ranked first in adjusted offensive efficiency last season, per KenPom.com, and they rank fourth this year.
Justin Jackson has evolved into North Carolina's star this season, and the main difference in his game is the addition of a reliable three-point shot.
Jackson has made more threes this year (90) than he made his first two seasons combined (63).
The ACC Player of the Year averages 18.1 points per game, and he's cerebral in how he goes about his business on the offensive end. Jackson is one of the best in the country at moving without the ball, and he has an in-between game in addition to the ability to pour it in from deep.
Wake Forest's John Collins was Bleacher Report's pick for most improved player in college hoops this season. The sophomore has gone from a decent bench big to a potential lottery pick.
He's one of the most efficient bigs in the country operating out of post-ups (1.025 points per possession) and the pick-and-roll (1.636 points per possession), per Synergy Sports.
Collins averages 18.9 points and 9.8 rebounds per game.
Malik Monk could shoot Kentucky to a Final Four or an early loss in the tournament. The freshman is reckless at times with his shot selection, but when he's on, he's unstoppable and a blast to watch.
Monk can fly and has the ability to make difficult shots that most players wouldn't dream of taking. That's why he can go off when he's on. He's had four games this season when he's scored more than 30 points, including a career-high 47 in a win against North Carolina.
Nigel Williams-Goss is the rock for Gonzaga and a big reason why the Zags have lost just one game all season.
Williams-Goss fills up the stat sheet (16.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game), but he's even more valuable than the numbers suggest because he just simply does whatever his team needs to win. There are games where he'll sacrifice his scoring just to keep feeding whoever is on that day.
Gonzaga's front line has arguably been the best in college hoops this season, and some of that success and consistent production is thanks to Williams-Goss. He made a wise move transferring to Gonzaga two years ago.
A lot of folks have probably cooled on the Bears since they were ranked No. 1. They stumbled down the stretch and lost in the Big 12 tourney to Kansas State. But Baylor is still a difficult team to match up against in an NCAA tournament setting because of its zone and because of Johnathan Motley.
Motley is close to impossible to cover one-on-one—most teams send a double-team when he catches on the blocks immediately—and he can also step away from the basket and is effective in the pick-and-pop. Baylor coach Scott Drew does a good job moving him around to make sure he gets his shots.
Baylor's guards are schooled to lob the ball to Motley from the wing when he's on the opposite block, and Drew will often have someone set what's essentially a flare screen in the paint to free Motley.
That's helped the big fella put up consistent numbers. He averages 17.3 points and 9.9 rebounds per game.
Jawun Evans often gets compared to Chris Paul. While comparisons like that are typically extremely unfair, Evans is at the very least the college version of Paul.
The Oklahoma State sophomore, like Paul, is a magician off the dribble and has an advanced understanding of how to operate once he gets into the teeth of the defense.
Evans averages 19.0 points and 6.2 assists, but more impressive than his per-game averages is the fact that he runs an offense that ranks first nationally in adjusted offensive efficiency, per KenPom.com.
No one expected Duke's Luke Kennard to be the team's best player this season, but here he is, appearing as one of the 10 best players in the NCAA tournament.
Kennard has consistently gotten buckets all season. Most casual fans probably assume he's a clone of deadeye shooter J.J. Redick. Kennard is a deadeye shooter, but he's got a lot more to his game.
He's one of the cleverest scorers off the bounce in the country. He finds a way to get into the lane and then once there, even if he's well covered, he uses pivots and fakes to get himself a clean look at the basket. The ball always comes off his hand soft every time, and that in-between game is why he's been so consistent scoring the ball, averaging 20.2 points per game.
Dillon Brooks got off to a slow start this season because of a foot injury that held him out of the first three games. The version that was tearing up the court last March has returned to form recently.
Brooks enters the tournament averaging 21.1 points per game over his last 10 games. He's shooting better than he ever has from long range—42.5 percent—and that makes him an ideal fit as the small-ball stretch 4 in Oregon's offense.
Brooks, at 6'7", is a bulldozer who attacks the rim with rage. He looks like he plays angry, and he loves the big stage. He also enters the tourney looking for some redemption after scoring only seven points in last year's Elite Eight loss to Oklahoma.
Monte Morris will finish his career as the NCAA all-time leader in assist-to-turnover ratio. In fact, for former Pittsburgh guard James Robinson, the current record holder, to finish tied with Morris, the Iowa State point guard would have to turn the ball over 60 straight times without an assist during that stretch.
Morris is underappreciated for how awesome he has been at the position, as evidenced by his omission as a Cousy Award finalist. This season has been his finest in terms of taking care of the basketball—an NCAA-best 5.88 assist-to-turnover ratio—and he's also evolved into more of a scorer, averaging a career-best 16.3 points per game.
The Cyclones play a space-and-pace game, and Morris makes things really easy for the shooters who surround him. That makes the Cyclones a tough draw in this bracket.
Josh Jackson's value to Kansas was apparent last week when his team lost to TCU in the Big 12 tournament without him.
Jackson has been KU's best one-and-done player, easily fitting in on both ends of the floor. That's impressive considering he plays most of his minutes as a small-ball 4, which was not expected coming into the season or when he signed with Kansas.
The fit has been perfect, as Jackson easily beats opposing 4s off the bounce. He's become impossible to cover lately with his jump shot becoming more consistent. Jackson shot 43.5 percent from deep in Big 12 play. Defensively, he's also KU's most important piece because of his versatility and ability to block shots.
Caleb Swanigan is a double-double machine (18.5 points and 12.6 boards per game), and his consistency has earned him the title of best big man in college basketball.
Swanigan is an old-school big who understands how to seal his man in the post and score with his back to the basket. But this season he improved his face-up game as well and has become a dangerous pick-and-pop option. He shoots 43.1 percent from deep.
Most opponents double-team Swanigan once he catches it, but that's not a great option because Purdue surrounds him with shooters, and he's a really good passer. The only way to really slow Swanigan is to somehow limit his touches.
Lonzo Ball completely transformed UCLA this year, bringing a fun-and-gun style to Los Angeles. Ball has terrific vision, and his unselfishness is contagious.
The Bruins move the ball beautifully and spread the floor with shooters. Ball can also get buckets as well and has unlimited range on his jumper, often pulling up well beyond the three-point line.
Most great point guards these days dominate the ball, but Ball gets rid of it quickly and that's why UCLA is so hard to guard. The second a defender loses his man, Ball finds him. When the Bruins are going right, they're the best offensive team in the country.
Villanova's Josh Hart has already proven he can be the star player on a national title team. He's the only college player you can currently say that about.
Hart has elevated his game to another level this season, improving as a three-point shooter and becoming a more dynamic playmaker off the bounce. He's averaging career highs in points (18.6) and assists (3.2). Hart, a senior, takes smart shots and knows when to attack, which makes him one of the most efficient scorers in the country.
He's also a terrific defender. Basically, Jay Wright never has to worry about Hart not figuring out a way to contribute every night out.
If it's the last possession of the national championship and your team is down by a point, who do you want taking the shot?
The correct answer: Frank Mason III.
Mason has been clutch all season for the Jayhawks, playing his best basketball down the stretch of close games. He started the year off with a game-winner against Duke and was pivotal in pulling off one of the most remarkable comebacks of the season against West Virginia.
Mason can get just about wherever he wants on the floor now that he's become a knockdown perimeter shooter. He spent most of the season burying better than 50 percent of his treys.
That forces defenders to play him tight on the perimeter, and that's a tough chore because he's one of the best in the country at shaking dudes off the dribble.
Mason plays so many minutes that he has to pick and choose his times to be aggressive on the defensive end, but when he gets after it, he can be a bully as an on-the-ball defender as well. He was Bleacher Report's pick to win National Player of the Year, and it's hard to envision him not playing his best ball to finish his career.

Tin was the strongest base metal in February.
After hitting a new six-year low in mid-January, the metal has bounced back up like a tennis ball. Indeed, since January 15th tin has risen more than 20% and many would consider this a bull market.
Tin hits a new four-month high. Source: FastMarkets.
A weaker dollar in February contributed to a price increase across dollar-denominated commodities, including, of course, the industrial metals complex.
February’s gains come after significant losses in previous months. Low prices lured bargain hunters in February to buy tin.
The latest data showed that the decline in Indonesian shipments intensified in January, with a 63% year-over-year drop. Indonesian refiners had begun suspending operations due to weak global prices and the country’s new environmental regulations and some investors see potential of future metal scarcity as Indonesian supply dries up.
The recent flooding on the island of Bangka is expected to affect tin operations, possibly further shrinking shipping numbers for February. Indonesian tin smelter PT Refined Bangka Tin stopped refining operations in the last month due to environmental concerns.
Is Rising Tin Actually in a Bull Market?
Tin is still below key resistance levels. Source: MetalMiner analysis of FastMarkets data.
While the metal advanced rapidly, prices are still within trading range and losing momentum as they near key resistance levels. In addition, recent customs data revealed that tin ore imports from Myanmar in January soared to an all-time record of 72,436 metric tons (gross weight), a 239% year-on-year increase and a 66% rise from the tonnage imported in December.
Myanmar’s rising supply could make up for Indonesian’s falling production. Finally, weak tin demand in China could also contribute and keep a lid on tin’s rise.
Tin and other base metals rose in February, but it seems too early to call for a bull market. The next few weeks will probably give us good clues on whether this price rise is for real or just another dead-cat bounce.

I challenge you to say ‘Miso Tasty’ without laughing. At least in your head. C’mon, you’d have to be dead inside not to chuckle at that.
Did you know miso can be made from soy beans, rice and barley? And that some are fermented for 3 years?
Miso Tasty is set on getting more people eating, drinking and experimenting with miso with a cutely packaged range of miso paste. Bonnie Chung, a self proclaimed food-lover and previous organizer of many supper clubs, felt it was time one of her favourite ingredients stepped up to the limelight. And who knew all the things you could do with miso?
Where on Earth Does Miso Come From?
For me, miso is one of those things that just ‘exists’. Just as many children are clueless to the fact that beef comes from cows, rather than trees (ok, so some slight exaggeration there. I hope.) I never stopped to think where miso came from. I mean, I didn’t even know it was fermented. Yes people, miso is made from deprivation. Of oxygen. And I bet you didn’t know that traditionally, miso can be fermented for three years. I suddenly have a new-found respect for miso.
But what is it made from?! Nil points to whoever thinks it comes from a miso plant.* Think of miso like a solid version of soya sauce. Except that some misos are made from other grains such as rice or barley. And depending on the length of fermentation and what it’s made from, the colour of miso varies greatly from a pale yellow (it’s just a baby miso) to a rich dark brown (it’s an oldie).
As well as being rich in proteins, vitamins, fibre and amino acids, studies have shown that miso can aid digestion and absorption of nutrients. There are also studies that indicate miso can aid fatigue relief, cholesterol reduction, improved digestion and more.
So what, I should drink miso every day?
Wrong. Well partly. Yes, you can drink miso every day but as Bonnie demonstrated with her Miso Tasty range, it’s such a versatile ingredient, you can use it almost every form of cooking, including desserts. Therefore, as well as drinking miso, you should also eat it.
But even better – you can use Miso Tasty in puddings! At Bonnie’s event, we got a clear idea of how we can use miso in our cooking; as a dip for crudités (celery works best), on aubergine (a bit like a nasu dengaku but less sweet), in coleslaw (the trick is to mix your veg with half tahini and half miso paste, along with some extras. It tasted like it had mayonnaise in, it was that creamy), on fish (we sampled different miso with black cod and salmon) and also in biscuits (oh yes, bakers, there’s something for everyone here). If your imagination is a little tired, see here for more miso inspiration.
From L to R: Bonnie educating us about miso, fish with miso, turning miso soup into a meal with added extras, the single miso pack, miso and aubergine with miso coleslaw.
There are two flavours currently available – the Classic ‘Shiro’ Miso soup (white miso = sweeter) and the Spicy ‘Aka’ Miso Soup (red miso blend with nanami and Sancho chillies). Each comes in a 2-part kit with a separate pack of umami powder, wakame seaweed and spring onions. The added bonus is that each pack comes with illustrated instructions.
It’s a fun name and you can amuse yourself for hours coming up with ‘Miso…’ alternatives.
The kits are small and easy to pop in your bag for that emergency mini-meal or snack.
Add leftovers (vermicelli noodles, cooked rice or a boiled egg all go well. As do chicken, prawns, seaweed… anything really!) to turn a cup of miso into a full blown meal.
And GM free. And there’s definitely no MSG in these.
No animals were hurt or used in the production of Miso Tasty. Go nuts, vegetarians!
It’s produced in the Shincho region of Japan in small batches so quality is guaranteed.
Buy the 8 Pack (from £7.70) from misotasty.com and it comes in a box that fits through the letterbox with no need for signatures or any of that jazz. The single taster pack (£2) also fits through the slot too.
These are packed with way more taste than the powdered versions. By having the paste and umami separately packaged it keeps everything fresher and truer to authenticity.
Each serving contains 8% protein a pack and only 37 calories. Those on the 5:2 diet, you’ve just struck gold.
Enough Chat Already, Where Can I Buy Miso Tasty?
If you don’t want to walk, head over to misotasty.co.uk and order online.
If you’re up for an adventure, pop into Selfridges Foodhall or Harvey Nichols.
*there is no such thing.

Back in 1979-1980, then in 1985 and 1993, my wife, the anthropologist Alma Gottlieb, and I lived in small, remote villages of the Beng people of the Ivory Coast. In recent days Alma and I have found it difficult to watch the tragic news coming from the country: videos of military strikes and violence in Abidjan, the country’s largest city, and photos of dead bodies strewn across streets we’d once walked.
The country’s recent troubles were spurred in large part by ethnic demonizing and exclusion; this is a terrible irony considering the great strength of Ivory Coast’s ethnic and cultural diversity. A recent film and music project, Abidja’Taam, le goût d’Abidjan, celebrates that diversity.
The CD is a collection of slow, soulful songs from a wide range of Ivorian musicians, a 45-minute gentle rebuke to the country’s recent madness. Listening to this beautiful music, I can imagine that once again Ivory Coast will find itself settled on the strip of cloth that’s the color of happiness and joy. Here is a video from the project, the song “Don,” sung by Tiken Jah Fakoly.

Except for Harold Washington's 1983 - 1987 tenure until his untimely death, Chicago never had populist mayors, notably under father Richard J. (April 20, 1955 - December 20, 1976) and son Richard M. Daley (April 24, 1989 - May 16, 2011).
However, after two months in office, Emanuel looks likely to be Chicago's worst, based on policy initiatives he supports.
As White House chief of staff, he was criminally part of Obama's war cabinet. As Chicago's mayor, he's waging it against labor.
Candidate Emanuel, in fact, promised draconian anti-worker cuts "in attacking our budget deficit, (so) there must be no sacred cows....Chicago will have to make tough choices, (forcing) more than 0 million in efficiencies" on the backs of working Chicagoans already struggling to get by when they need help, not greater sacrifices they can't afford.
No matter, slash and burn now is policy, including layoffs, wage freezes, and benefit cuts, notably targeting healthcare and pensions. Then in June, Emanuel rescinded a contractual 4% raise owed 30,000 teachers, indicating the same policy would follow for other Chicago Public Schools (CPS) employees as part of his war on public education and Chicago workers.
In late June, it continued with 1,000 teachers fired, besides 4,000 since 2009, school closures, larger class sizes, and other draconian measures. Reassigned teachers retain salaries and benefits for one year as "interim" substitute staff. If not kept after 10 months, they're "honorabl(y) terminated."
In other words, fired, no matter their qualifications, tenure, or student needs. In fact, many other teachers were sacked without temporary pay or benefits, according to union officials, who have little to boast about after endorsing Illinois Senate Bill 7 (SB 7).
Its provisions include using standardized tests to fire teachers, regardless of seniority, tenure, qualifications, or how students respond to effective classroom practices, what rote memory tests can't measure. It also lets school districts increase hours per day, and add extra school weeks, with no additional compensation. In addition, teacher strikes are prohibited until after four months of negotiations plus a special arbitration panel's ruling.
Even then, the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) must give 10 days notice backed by 75% of its members to approve a walkout. In other words, SB 7 empowers state and city authorities over their right to demand equity or walk out.
At the same time, CPS executives got salary increases up to 30% over their predecessors. Emanuel's new CPS head, Jean-Claude Brizard, earns 0,000 plus a 15% incentive package. Earlier as Rochester, New York public schools superintendent, 95% of teachers deplored his policies in office.
Moreover, he's named in two federal lawsuits regarding improper handling of budget cuts and school closures. Earlier, he attended the notorious Superintendents' Academy of the Broad Center for the Management of School Systems, founded by corporate predator Eli Broad to train administrators on restructuring and privatizing public education at the expense of educating kids.
Nonetheless, Emanuel wants him to replicate what he did in Rochester. Elizabeth Swanson is his deputy chief of staff, formerly (billionaire Penny) Pritzker Traubert Family Foundation executive director.
-- destroying public education by creating another business profit profit center.
Emanuel plans more of it for Chicago, including weakening collective bargaining and teachers' right to strike, the same core issues Wisconsin state workers tried and so far failed to save, perhaps heading for the chopping block in Chicago.
"As we (prohibit strikes by) police and firefighters, I would have it for teachers because they provide an essential service."
Of course, so do all public and private workers, entitled to rights like everyone, including to bargain collectively and strike if treated inequitably.
Since taking office, however, Emanuel waged war on Chicago workers, implementing austerity like Obama's doing nationally at a time massive stimulus is needed.
Sworn in on May 16, his 25-minute address mimicked Obama, calling for "shar(ing) the necessary sacrifices fairly and justly." In other words, make working Chicagoans sacrifice so corporate interests and city elites share, the same cancer metastasizing across America, destroying an earlier time long gone.
Saying "Chicago is ready for change," he omitted hard truths he began implementing on the backs of struggling working households. They need help, not greater hardships with lots more coming to close a 0 million budget gap and resolve .6 billion in underfunded pension liabilities perhaps by expunging them and cheating retirees.
While campaigning, in fact, he told city unions he planned pension cuts for all city employees, privatizations of many city services, selling Chicago incrementally to corporate favorites, and restructuring of revenue, finance, fleet management, and general service systems.
-- improving Chicago's business climate in collaboration with complicit unions, betraying their rank and file for a seat at the table plus high salaries, excellent benefits, and generous perks.
On July 15, Emanuel announced laying off 625 city workers. Affected are custodians, water department call center operators, and transportation department seasonal workers.
He also announced new privatizations. In addition, cost-cutting work rules are being discussed with union bosses, including unpaid days off, paid holidays reduced from 12 to nine, and new hoisting engineer wage differentials, based on machines they operate.
-- union apprenticeship cost saving programs will be enhanced.
Moreover, city workers no longer will provide airport and library custodial services. Private companies will replace them at greater cost.
In addition, seasonal transportation department workforces will be cut 75%. As a result, 61 fewer blocks of curb and gutter improvements will be made, as well as 76 fewer sidewalk blocks repaired.
Henceforth, a professional benefits management company, not public staff, will handle city benefit services at greater cost to the city and taxpayers.
Chicago's water bill call center will also be privatized, again at greater cost.
Overall, hundreds of city workers will be sacked to allegedly save millions of dollars. In fact, costs will be increased, not cut, making Chicagoans pay for privatized services public workers can do as well cheaper.
"Mayor Emanuel's announced intention to lay off 625 employees will diminish the availability and quality of city services on which Chicago residents depend. It will also" increase already high city unemployment.
"We are surprised and disappointed at (his) scattershot approach to the city's budget shortfall. We are paricularly disappointed that most of his bullets are aimed at frontline employees who do the real work of city government."
"Contrary to (his) claim, neither he nor his representatives have ever made any attempt to meet with our union to negotiate changes to work rules....If the mayor were serious about (instituting positive changes), he would have taken the appropriate measures to engage in such discussions." Not doing so shows "blaming union work rules for (Chicago's) massive deficit is mere public relations gimmickry."
"In that spirit, we call on the Mayor to rescind his layoff threat and work collaboratively to reduce costs while protecting city services and jobs."
In fact, AFSCME, CTU, and other city union bosses collaborate with city management, furthering their own interests over rank-and-file members they pretend to represent. As a result, Bayer's statement rings hollow, common practice to make workers think he's on their side when, in fact, he and other union heads fall short.
In Chicago, Illinois and across America, government and corrupted union bosses collaborate against workers, agreeing on wage freezes, benefit cuts, and layoffs, making already dire conditions worse.
As a result, harder than ever hard times deepen to assure corporate favorites and wealthy elites benefit at the expense of troubled working households being scammed.

He’s possibly the most popular player to ever put on an Orange and Blue jersey, and he made contributions both on and off the field that will be hard to replicate. He was our second-leading goalscorer in 2016, behind Golden Boot winner Sean Okoli. That hair too, …amazing hair. He’s an “inaugural” and he will surely be missed.
“Wieda” scored the first goal in franchise history* in 2016 against Bethlehem Steel FC. He also scored a perfectly good onside goal in extra-time that could have won the US Open Cup match against the Chicago Fire, but was sadly disallowed.
He scored a number of memorable goals but none were more impressive than this individual effort against the Charleston Battery. It was one of the top 10 goals of the USL’s 2017 season.
After FC Cincinnati’s 2017 playoff loss to the Tampa Bay Rowdies, he told traveling fans about his plans to retire. He confirmed that news last Wednesday via Twitter and the FC Cincinnati press release that followed.
Many hoped Wiedeman might pursue a coaching role or continue playing and accept a locker room leadership role like the one Omar Cummings performed in 2017. Alas, it was not to be. He recently married in his native California and is planning to pursue a bachelor’s degree at the University of California – Berkeley, where he played college soccer.
Married AF. Big thanks to @abbicooley for perfectly capturing our day.
Wiedeman spent most of his on-field time positioned in an attacking role on the right flank. He tucked inside frequently, and at times operated in a playmaking capacity behind the forwards.
The replacement for him is not immediately clear because we don’t yet know Koch’s preferred formation. It’s not clear if wingers will play as prominent of a role in this year’s setup as they have the past two seasons. So we’ll look at both playmakers and right-footed attackers that could replace the roles filled by FC Cincinnati’s #23.
In terms of playmaking ability, Alan Koch added talent in that category superior to what this team has seen in the past. Emmanuel Ledesma is a right-footed forward that has playmaking ability in buckets. His 73 chances-created in 2017 led the NASL by a large margin. The Argentine also accumulated 10 goals and six assists in only 17 starts. Ledesma could certainly set up on the right and drift inside to attack and create for others. He is likely to start and should be a treat to watch in 2018.
One can also look to Nazmi Albadawi as a talent that can replace the playmaking work that Weideman contributed. He’s more of a midfielder than a forward though and one would expect him to contribute to the team in that capacity. He’ll also likely play more centrally than Wiedeman typically did.
Jimmy McLaughlin has almost always featured on the left, but could flip to the right, and play the same role. Daniel Haber is also a natural right winger. The 25-year-old Toronto native has 14 goals and 5 assists over the past two seasons with Whitecaps 2 and Real Monarchs. Emery Welshman is also a righty, and a forward whose speed could be an asset on the wing. The Guyana native accumulated 11 goals between his time at Real Monarchs and Puerto Rico FC between 2015 and 2017. Welshman has a lot of potential, but we’ll see whether he can break into the first team on this loaded roster.
FC Cincinnati’s preseason slate of games should give us more clues as to exactly how Wiedeman’s role will be filled with this new cast of characters. Regardless of who does the job, the Orange and Blue shouldn’t be short on attacking prowess in 2018.
Alan Koch had the following to say about Wiedeman’s retirement after the first session of preseason training.
It’s clear that Andrew Wiedeman’s play, his spirit, and his humor made a connection with the Cincinnati community. He’s an Orange and Blue legend and he will be missed. Thanks Wieda and good luck in the next chapter.
It’s going to be hard to replace this.

Why is ROBERT PARRY so AFRAID?
My problem with you was never that you disagreed…though I do not believe you have really seriously looked into 9/11 in view of your extreme hostility from the start and what we talked about that long day at your home and while walking around Arlington; after all I’m well aware that different people have different blind-spots and sensitivities. My serious problem with you is your continuing defamation and name-calling and insulting of other very dedicated and serious persons who have in fact, at great time and dedication and hard work, come forth with considerable evidence and more. Simply said Bob you are not the only person who seriously investigates things and in fact I’m certain that if you would ever agree to debate anyone on a whole list of persons about this in public you would lose badly.
Parry is publisher of Consortium News and constantly asks all concerned about our country and independent journalism to support and finance him. But when it comes to 9/11 Parry refuses to publicly debate David Ray Griffin or any other major 9/11 personality, plus he likes to point the finger at the Saudis but refuses to do so when it comes to the Israelis and their powerful Israeli/Jewish lobby not to mention the Zionist Neocon brigades who held near-complete power in the Bush/Cheney Administration when 9/11 happened.
Oh yes, let’s be fully candid and serious here. Parry does lambast the Neocons harshly. But he refuses to highlight that nearly all of the leaders are Jewish, dedicated Zionists, and many are even long-time Israeli-connected operatives in one way or another. And most of all he never connects them to and always protects them from possible involvement in 9/11, even while noting that they did pray for “a new Pearl Harbor” and immediately catapulted their extreme Middle East war policies on top of it.

A sole proprietorship is an unincorporated enterprise that is owned and run by one natural person and in which there is no legal distinction between the owner and the business entity. The sole proprietorship is not a legal entity. It simply refers to a person who owns the business and is personally responsible for its debts. A sole proprietor may use a trade name or business name other than his, her, or its legal name. They may have to legally trademark their business name if it differs from their own legal name, the process varying depending upon country of residence. The owner of a sole proprietorship typically signs contracts in his or her own name, because the sole proprietorship has no separate identity under the law. The sole proprietor owner will typically have customers write checks in the owner's name, even if the business uses a fictitious name. Sole proprietor owners can, and often do, mingle personal and business property and funds, something that partnerships, LLPs & Companies cannot do.
Owners can establish a sole proprietorship instantly and easily.
A current account in turn requires that you have a specified location from which you are doing business. The bank will ask you to submit documents as proof of business location in the form of government registrations such as Shop & Establishment act license, Goods & Service Tax (GST) Certificate, CA Certificate etc.
Pan card and ID for address proof of proprietor.
CA Certificate –You can get this from any CA. They might charge you a nominal fee for giving you a certificate.

Oklahoma City Thunder GM Sam Presti should have traded Russell Westbrook for Rajon Rondo when he had the chance. Boston Celtics GM Danny Ainge was willing to trade Rondo for Westbrook, but Presti declined.
Now, a lot of people would say why make a deal? The Thunder are 29-8 and the top seed in the West. But, they have some issues. They are 27th in the NBA with just 18.1 assists per game, and ball movement is key in basketball.
A lot is placed on Westbrook’s shoulders to initiate the offense as the point guard for OKC, but there’s one problem. He’s not a true point guard. His assists have declined the last few seasons. He averaged 8.2 assists per game in 2010-11, but just 5.5 this season. In addition, he is leading the league in turnovers at 4.3 per game.
Why do I think Presti should have done it? Quite simply, Rondo is a true PG who has great court vision and would help the Thunder. Ainge would do it because it gives the Celtics a player to rebuild around with Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen possibly leaving this offseason as free agents. Rondo is a pass-first player who would have no problem taking a backseat to superstar Kevin Durant. He isn’t the scorer Westbrook is, but James Harden could start at shooting guard and make up the scoring difference. Harden is having a very good season and may never achieve his full potential with Westbrook on the Thunder.
Rondo is also a relentless defender and can rebound like Jason Kidd. He just had another triple double (15 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds) after hearing more rumors about Boston shopping him around the league like a Black Friday sale. On Sunday against Jeremy Lin and the New York Knicks, Rondo had 18 points, 20 assists and a career-high 17 rebounds in a Celtics overtime win.
Rondo won’t have a problem deferring to Durant, who has the ability to be a 35-point scorer. The game against the Magic on March 1 was an excellent example. He made 12 of 21 field goals (including all nine free throws) and finished with a game-high 38 points.
Durant might praise his teammate Westbrook, but it has to be eating him up inside. Twice in the last year they’ve had confrontations. It reminds me of the Kevin Garnett-Stephon Marbury dynamic when the two butted heads in Minnesota.
Darren Jacks is a contributor to OneManFastBreak.net. Send him an email to djroxalot@hotmail.com.
Sure that’s great for the OKC Thunder but where does it leave the boys in green? You and I know great offense starts from a good point guard (look how many good teams that can be great are missing that particular key this year), and with Garnett and Allen (Allen, who will never leave Boston IMHO) up in the air, we’re left with the Truth who’s performance is slowly declining into mediocrity. It would be a great space to rebuild but the tempo of both players match up well with the teams they are currently on. Rondo likes to watch and wait for the plays to be created in front of him while Westbrook creates the plays which matches the way OKC moves the ball.
I’m just glad Presti balked because Rondo is shaping up to be one hell of a PG. I’m just saying.
At first glance, this seems like an uneven trade and I’d strongly question messing with the success they’re enjoying in OKC.
But you make some great points about fit/need with the respective teams – and since both guys have some type of personal issues going on right now, it could actually make sense.
I’m excited to see what the Celtics look like after the deadline. Could be a whole new squad out there.
onefan, Boston would have a good PG to build around for the future once KG and Allen leave. It seems as if Ainge is fed up with Rondo and just wants him gone. Once, KG and Allen leave (all but guaranteed this summer)? The team will be taking on a new identity.
Westbrook and Pierce would be a decent 1-2 punch to rebuild around on the fly.
Great article…Well thought out..Very good points..
As a Celtics fan I am glad this trade did’nt come off..
Ha. Thanks for your feedback, Rick.
Wow, wonderful article. This would be a great trade for both teams as well as both players.
The Thunder would have a quality, pass first point guard. Rondo’s ability to get to the rim at will, would open things up for Ibaka at the rim and would provide a multitude of kick-outs to Harden and Durant on the wings.
Westbrook would give the Celtics a young scoring guard to build around. The big three’s best days are behind them. So, Westbrook would be better suited to carry the scoring load as Paul, Ray and Kevin’s offense continues to deminish. Plus, Westbrook would be out of Durant’s shadow and would finally be able to be the man, once the Big 3 retires or moves on to greener (no pun intended) pastures.
Look forward to LTE coming to Charlotte, NC and DC area.
Great points ….westbrook will implode in the preasure of the playoffs…..
Wow, awesome blog layout! How long have you ever been running a blog for? you make running a blog look easy. The whole glance of your web site is fantastic, let alone the content material!
I’m sure that the C’s will unload Rondo but they won’t do it until the time is right for a trade that helps both teams.
THEN HAVE BECOME A BIG LIABILITY TO THE BOSTON CELTICS!
Trading should only take place if it benefits BOTH teams and is not one-sided in one team’s favor. THAT IS WHY I THINK RAJON RONDO WILL STAY IN BOSTON FOR SOME TIME;BUT IF RONDO PROVES TO BE A CANCER TO THE CELTICS THEC’S MAY UNLOAD HIM A LOT SOONER THAN THAT!

To do this I found the following plugin So far, this is working fine, except for the images. They will get copied as HTML into the document. But I don’t have that many old posts. I will just re-upload my images into the ghost blog and everything will be fine! There was a solution described which involved using a cloud based image hosting service, but I don’t need this and therefore didn’t like this solution.
Comments will get cleared as well and I will migrate to Disqus in the future since it is the best standard for comments everywhere.
