Best and Worst International Cities for Food
I asked this question a while ago on the International board, but I didn't get much response so I thought I'd try again here. My apologies if this is not kosher.
I recently passed the U.S. Foreign Service Exam, and while I wait for my clearances to come through I'm engaging in the fascinating pastime of speculating on my future foreign postings. Being a chowhound, availability of delicious food is very important to my happiness. So, if you had to choose a world city to live in based solely on the food, where would you go? Where would you avoid? I'm especially interested in your thoughts on non-Western Europe areas of the world.
Congratulations on passing the exam.
This isn't non-Western Europe, but here's the link to a blog written by the wife of a guy posted to the American Embassy in Mexico City - http://www.midwesternerinmexico.com/ . They're young, under 30, and she's done a number of posts on food, eating, drinking and food habits. It's sometimes a fun read. And good old D.F. is a great food town.
re: DiningDiva
Just came across this link-back, and as the aforementioned Midwesterner in Mexico, let me second the vote for Mexico City as a foodie town!! I will back this up with an article from WSJ: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB12321... and NY Times: http://travel.nytimes.com/2010/01/24/.... We are heading back to DC in October, and whine on a daily basis how much we will miss the amazing, cheap food here in DF. It truly runs the gamut from delicious 10-peso street tacos at 4AM to elegant 4-course meals that while expensive, are still a steal compared to the US.
Additionally, we have been living like pigs in sh*t with all the fruit and veg here that is practically free-- if you love avocados and mangoes and fresh-squeezed OJ but can't handle the prices in the US, you will never run the risk of scurvy here in DF.
While I certainly support the various Asian cities proposed below, Mexico City offers an amazing breadth of Mexican food that you've never seen in the States, plus cultural & travel opps a-go-go, but you're still close enough to make a trip back for some Carolina BBQ. :) Good luck!!
re: beefight
Good luck on your new posting this Fall. I shall miss reading your Mexican blog entries. Having spent time in D.F. I usually got a chuckle out of your escapades
Tokyo is quite a great city for eating out. There is a very broad selection, though many choices would not be considered very authentic. Service is generally among the best, and there is no custom of tipping.
First choice is easy: Singapore. Second choice. . . oh, dear, that could be any number of places. As someone who will be living in a certain city for several years, your point of view will be different from the average tourist's. Much will depend on hooking up with local chowhounds, and even more will depend on your determination to find and enjoy what's around you. If you want to get an idea of the breadth and depth of a true, well-traveled chowhound life, you can (if you haven't already) go through some of the posts of the late, much-loved Sam Fujisaka.
I agree with pilinut's nomination of Singapore. The Singaporeans are obsessed with food in a good way. Talking about who has the best chicken rice or chili crab is a national passion. For any food in southeast asia, Singapore is the place to be.
Since the population is Chinese, Malay, and Indian, the best food comes from those ethnic groups, but excellent Korean, Japanese, Indonesian (similar to Malaysian) are available, as well. There are plenty of places in Singapore for western food, too, but, not surprisingly, you can get better western food in (duh) the western hemisphere.
The profusion of tropical vegetables, fruits and spices, combined with the availability of temperate climate Australian ingredients make for quite a choice of ingredients. And the fusion of the cooking techniques of the three cultures makes for an interesting mix.
re: travelmad478
What's so bad about Cairo?
re: mordacity
The food.
No, really. It is extremely difficult to get a decent meal there unless you are at the Four Seasons. When I am in Cairo I generally end up eating at the food court in the mall, because the pickings are so ridiculously slim and the food quality is generally so poor. Note that I am talking about restaurants, not home-cooked meals.
re: mordacity
Worst I have experienced is Malta. Great fresh fish to buy, but they cook it and vegetables to death. Their spaghetti bolognese tastes as if it is canned-- I tasted multiple versions, as my daughter only ate this, and all were equally bad. A pilot I knew used to fill his suitcase with fresh vegetables when he flew to Malta. Otherwise, a nice place, but not for a long posting.
I enjoyed eating in any of the Asian cities, from Bangkok to Beijing. The countries' least enjoyed were India and Arabic cuisines. Just a personal food preferance!
I think it depends on your preferred cuisine. Singapore is great, but if you prefer Japanese food to Chinese, Tokyo is better. And if you really like Thai food, it would be hard to beat Bangkok.
You can get decent international cuisine in all 3 of those cities, but it's the local food that really shines.
I third Singapore. You can get any type of food there -- from top rated french food to hole in the wall hawker food. I've been suffering withdrawal recently as it's been months since I've gone to visit (extended family is there). Singporeans are big foodies, and food plays a big part in daily life.
re: boogiebaby
The thing about Singapore is you can go to an outdoor food court, order absolutely fresh fish, grilled, a bowl of rice, and stir-fried veggies (gai lan with oyster sauce was a favorite), and then get an absolutely fresh mixed tropical fruit plate for dessert and pay a fraction of what you would have had to pay in a sit-down formal restaurant, which would likely not be as good. Or you can get wonderful SE Asian street food, without the slightest worry that you're going to get sick. Murtabak, roti canai, dim sum, chicken rice, mee pok, laksa, oyster omelets, etc. etc. Do I miss it! But then if you wanted bagels and Starbucks, you could get that too.
For the best variety of authentic Asian cuisine in the US, it has to be Los Angeles. There are huge populations of Koreans, Chinese, Vietnamese etc living in southern California which makes for a fantastic and diverse array of restaurants and regional cuisines at very good prices without having to live in/travel to Asia.
If you're asking for non-US and non -European choices, it depends on the type of cuisine you like. I did not particularly enjoy the food in Moscow - I found it to be very bland, little fresh vegetables or fruit and everything was heavily brined or pickled. I understand why the cuisine is that because of their long winters etc but even so, I found myself craving fresh fruit or a nice green salad after a few days. Although the vodka was fab! lol! :)
re: SeoulQueen
Puebla, Mexico offers some fine cooking. Same goes for Buenos Aires.....
I used to have a friend on another message board who was a foodie living in Luanda, Angola. And while, it's definitely not Singapore, and there are always going to be things that frustratingly can't be found, even on a weekend trip to South Africa, I was always impressed at what she did manage to both find and cook while she was living there.

This is the latest helmet from those stalwarts of bicycle half peanuts, Bell. The Volt is the top-of-the-line cross-country lid and has some neat features.
Most individually, it has carbon fibre intakes, which are designed to scoop air into the helmet. In reality though, they don't really add much to the airflow.
More critically, they add strength to the weakest area of any helmet, and carbon always looks the nuts. Weight was up on the quoted 280g, at a welterweight 336g for a medium.
The bone dome is locked in place by Bell's own Twin Axis Gear system, which is basically a ratchet with a thumb wheel, which tightens the helmet onto the head.
On the plus side it offers true on-the-fly adjustment, because it can be adjusted really easily with one hand, unlike its competitors,. On the down side the ratchet increments are quite large, making it hard to get the precise fit required to keep it locked in place with out putting pressure on your head.
The straps have neat flip lock tabs, which make it super quick to set up, but stop the straps from sitting flat, which makes it uncomfortable around your ears.

Howsoever big a house you can make, or howsoever powerful you become politically, economically, socially, death is going to take them all away from you - and not much intelligence is needed to understand this. But the inner powers, death cannot take them away. They are beyond death and they never frustrate you. They are your powers; your potentialities come to flower. There seems to be no need to sacrifice them, no need to renounce them. But Patanjali is saying that they have also to be renounced, otherwise you will start living in a world of visions - again the power trip. And religion is not a power trip.
You are not seeking the ego, but you are trying to find out the whole - and the whole is possible only when all sorts of egoistic trips are dropped and sacrificed. When you are not, the divine is.
Let me tell you one very famous Sufi story, The Holy Shadow.
There once lived a saint so good that the angels came from heaven to see how a man could be so godly. This saint went about his daily life diffusing virtue as the stars diffuse light and the flowers scent, without being aware of it. His day could be summed up by two words - he gave, he forgave - yet these words never passed his lips. They were expressed in his ready smile, his kindness, forbearance, and charity.
The angels said to God, "Lord, grant him the gift of miracles."
God replied, "Ask what it is that he wishes."
They said to the saint, "Would you like the touch of your hands to heal the sick?"
"No," answered the saint. "I would rather God do that."
"Would you like to convert guilty souls and bring back wandering hearts to the right path?"
"No, that is the angels' mission. It is not for me to convert."
"Would you like to become a model of patience, attracting men by the luster of your virtues, and thus glorifying God?"
"No," replied the saint. "If men should be attracted to me, they would become estranged from God."
"What is it that you desire, then?" asked the angels.
"What can I wish for?" asked the saint smiling. "That God gives me his grace; with that would I not have everything?"
The angels said, "You must ask for a miracle, or one will be forced upon you."
"Very well," said the saint. "That I may do a great deal of good without ever knowing it."
The angels were perplexed. They took counsel and resolved upon the following plan: every time the saint's shadow fell behind him or to either side, so that he could not see it, it would have the power to cure disease, soothe pain, and comfort sorrow.
When the saint walked along, his shadow, thrown on the ground on either side or behind him, made arid paths green, caused withered plants to bloom, gave clear water to dried-up brooks, fresh color to pale children, and joy to unhappy men and women.

NJ TRANSIT acquired land from the family of Carmine Franco in early 2010 by condemnation for about $1.6 million, but the family went to court seeking higher compensation. In 2012, a jury said the family deserved $8 million, and the transit agency is appealing the award.

A $12.4 billion project to replace the Hudson tunnels, which would have more than doubled the number of peak-time runs, to 48 trains per hour, was canceled by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in 2010.
January 17, 2014
Save the Dinky Inc. said the ruling was important for the group because it affirms that the cutback of rail service to Princeton to benefit Princeton University was in fact a decision by New Jersey Transit.
February 14, 2013
In January 2012, NJ Transit became the first transit agency in North America to introduce Bank Note Recycler technology, which allows the machines to dispense change in the form of paper bills — ones, fives, tens and twenties — instead of dollar coins.

Includes Access Link paratransit. Due to significant damage to the state's public transportation network, NJ Transit rail service will remain suspended until further notice.
October 9, 2012
As part of Gov. Chris Christie's emphasis on accountability to New Jersey taxpayers, the agency proposed changing its 30-year blanket privilege allowing non-agreement employees unlimited, free travel on rail, light rail and bus services.
August 10, 2012
Upped by $250 million, further supporting a state commitment to fund growth around public transportation routes. Expands the program's cap of available tax credits to a total of $1.75 billion.
April 12, 2012
Executive director Jim Weinstein said that the project was terminated based on a recommendation from a committee — headed by him — because New Jersey couldn't afford it.
April 10, 2012
When he canceled it in October 2010, Gov. Christie said the price could reach $14 billion, with N.J. responsible for 70% of cost. Investigators found that the cost of the Hudson River rail tunnel project was estimated at $12.4 billion, with the state tabbed to pay 14.4%.
March 21, 2012
Officials in Gov. Chris Christie's administration said they're looking to end such payouts for public employees, preferring a "use it or lose it" policy for vacation time and using sick time for illness only

Quotes like, "deer are majestic creatures, really don't shoot them" are on the rise. Folks imagine that killing deer is not only animal cruelty, but if hunters do not cease, the whitetail deer inhabitants will dwindle and before long become extinct.
On the contrary, Looking is extremely crucial for the deer, the hunter, and the surroundings. Let me make clear. In the early 1900's, there ended up an estimated five hundred,000 whitetail's in the United States. Right now there are over 20 million! What can this be attributed to? Surely the number of hunters has not lowered? The reply is simply above inhabitants. Hunting year is only open for a pair of months every single yr, and in some area, only a couple of months. This is the only time (in addition to random highway mishaps) that the deer population can be managed. With whitetail deer figures continuing to rise, it leads to want for issue. If the percentage of whitetail deer carries on to improve on the scale that it has from the early 1900's to nowadays, it will most absolutely lead to issues. These issues would include a lot more freeway mishaps, significantly less territory for the deer, and a shortage of meals.
According to the National Highway Targeted traffic Protection Administration, there are about 1.five million auto mishaps with deer every yr that outcome in $1 billion in automobile damage, about a hundred and fifty human fatalities, and above 10,000 personal accidents! Deer population figures also suggest much less territory for the whitetail deer. As numbers improve, Whitetail deer habitats lessen, and drive the deer to reside in city places which leads to a complete internet of considerations. Food scarcity is another large element for Deer searching period. With a lot more and much more whitetail deer getting born each and every day, the offer of their normal food sources substantially decreases. The desire will before long overtake the provide if some kind of motion is not used.
Not only can Deer searching year support the deer, it is also a good resource of meals for the hunters. With the economic climate obtaining even worse and even worse, the price of meals and other necessities is finding greater and greater. A simple harvested deer, whether or not it be buck or doe, can feed a family members of four for three-4 months! Most deer hunters know how to clear and approach their very own deer, so the only cost they need to pay out to destroy that deer is the deer searching license. If you get a deer searching license in your personal state, it's relatively cheap (and considerably more cheap than the groceries at the store).
huntingConsidering that the nineteenth century, hunting has been controlled in the United States. Gear constraints are specified to make confident hunters can't hunt with relieve. Bag boundaries are intended to handle how numerous members of a specified species can be hunted.
As presently mentioned, there are instances of the year when searching a particular team of animals is prohibited. This is what they contact the shut period, a time when searching for specific animals gets to be unlawful. Hunting is restricted in the course of breeding durations when these animals are weak.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Drunk driver avoids jail time
Judge accepts her claim drug played a role
Sitting in the courtroom, her frail body trembling as tears streamed down her face, Joan Henderson didn't act like a woman who'd just dodged a jail sentence.
There was no smile, no celebration, no visible signs of relief. Only more sobs and one final plea to the man she nearly crushed to death while driving drunk.
"I want to say sorry again. I'm so sorry, so sorry," a distraught Henderson, 54, told Michael Pacheco.
Henderson was given a two-year suspended sentence with probation Wednesday for an April 2008 crash that has forever changed several lives. Queen's Bench Justice Brenda Keyser rejected the Crown's bid to put Henderson behind bars, saying the facts of the case cried out for "unusual" mercy.
"This is one of those exceptional cases where jail is not warranted. The facts are unique. This should not be viewed as a precedent," said Keyser.
The judge accepted Henderson's claim, which was backed by some medical evidence, that her dangerous behaviour on the night of the tragedy was triggered by a controversial medication she was taking at the time.
Henderson suffers from "restless leg syndrome" and had started taking Mirapex to treat the often painful symptoms. Instead, Henderson claims she was hit with numerous side-effects that included an "involuntary" inclination to gamble, shop and drink alcohol, court was told.
"I'm satisfied that before this incident she wasn't a drinker at all," said Keyser. "This is not the normal situation of an upstanding citizen who has a bad day and chooses to drink. The drug she was taking caused her to drink compulsively that day."
Henderson pleaded guilty earlier this week to impaired driving causing bodily harm. She has no prior criminal or driving record. Legal experts say the case may be the first time in Canada the use of Mirapex has been cited as a contributing factor in a serious criminal case. The drug, which is also used to treat Parkinson's disease, is already the subject of a class-action lawsuit in both Canada and the United States.
On the night of the crash, the otherwise quiet, coffee-drinking Henderson found herself going on a shopping spree at Walmart, playing VLTs and drinking a half-dozen double rum and Cokes inside Smitty's lounge in Garden City Shopping Centre, court was told. She then claims to have blacked out on the drive to her north Main Street home, leaving a trail of carnage in her wake. Her blood-alcohol level was .20, which is more than twice the legal limit of .08.
Pacheco, 29, was part of a large street-cleaning crew near Kildonan Golf Course and was in the process of picking up some road signs when Henderson's Dodge Neon slammed into his legs, crushing them between the Neon and his own vehicle. Witnesses say a dazed, disoriented Henderson made no attempt to stop.
Pacheco suffered gruesome injuries. He was rushed to hospital in critical condition and doctors feared they would have to amputate both legs. He ultimately spent months in hospital and has undergone eight surgeries to date. He still has difficulty walking and is suffering from extreme physical and emotional pain.
Crown attorney Chris Vanderhooft was seeking up to two years behind bars for Henderson. A conditional sentence is no longer available in Canada for this type of offence, based on recent federal changes, that left probation as the only viable option to jail.
According to police, Henderson showed instant remorse at the scene of the crash and later during an interview. "What have I done? Look what I've done. Is he going to be OK?" Henderson asked officers.
She was slurring her speech and actually fell onto the boulevard when asked to get out of her car.
"I don't think I should have been driving. I tell my kids not to drink and drive. I did the wrong thing," the divorced mother of three said later that night.

With Jay-Z's impending departure from Def Jam, Roc-A-Fella will officially cease to exist, and its place will be taken by the new ROC Nation. Fayetteville, North Carolina rapper J. Cole, the first signee to the replacement label is ready to go national with the Tar Heel State's catchy underground sound. On Grown Simba, a new joint off the forthcoming sequel to his '08 Come Up mixtape (hosted by DJ On Point of Joe Budden Mood Muzik fame), Cole reflects back on all that's happened since he first announced his intent to take over the game. The combination of Cole's sharp punchlines and smooth piano/sample beat should bring listeners back to when a certain college dropout-turned-Roc producer first hit the mic in '04, and if this is any indicator of the direction S-Dot's going with with ROC Nation, then this fledgling label may well be destined to become the next dynasty.

Legal drive-bys? Case against 'stand-your-ground' false
Rep. Stephen Shurtleff, D-Penacook, is House majority leader and the sponsor of House Bill 135, which would repeal the state's "stand your ground" law. That 2011 law made it legal for a person to use deadly force in self defense in response to the use of deadly force "anywhere he or she has a right to be."
In a column we have printed on the opposite page, Shurtleff makes some misleading claims to promote his bill, which is on the House calendar for Wednesday. The most misleading is his use of a 2011 Manchester homicide in which Tony Hebert was charged with shooting to death Pablo Samniego. Hebert was in his car, the reportedly unarmed Samniego on a sidewalk with a friend.
"Had this incident occurred just four months later, after 'stand your ground' became law in New Hampshire, Hebert would have more legal cover for his actions. The ability to safely remove oneself from an encounter, even when the person knows it wouldn't expose himself or herself or anyone else to danger, is no longer even taken into consideration. Under 'stand your ground,' resorting to violence is legal even when the person knows he or she doesn't need to."
This is false. Hebert's defense has asserted - but offered no evidence - that the victim acted aggressively. The law states very clearly that the defensive use of deadly force is justified if the person "reasonably believes" the aggressor "is about to use unlawful, deadly force against the actor or a third person" or use deadly force in the commission of a short list of other crimes. That did not change with the addition of the "stand your ground" clause. That clause simply added the words "or anywhere he or she has the right to be" to the portion of the law describing where such a defense can be used without first attempting to flee. It did not remove the rest of the law requiring the use of deadly force to be a legally justified act of self defense.
Using the term "drive-by shooting" (Hebert was stopped, according to reports), Shurtleff implies that gangland-style killings are now legally justifiable in New Hampshire. They clearly are not, and if the House majority leader really thinks otherwise that is truly shocking.
Shurtleff says opponents of his bill were not truthful when they claimed it would "force people to 'turn and run' from an attack." He then states repeatedly that his bill would make it illegal to use violence if one could "safely remove oneself from an encounter..." In other words, it would require people to "'turn and run' from an attack" if they could. Why would he claim otherwise?
Opponents of New Hampshire's narrowly tailored "stand your ground" law (it is not the confusing mess they have in Florida) have resorted to distortions and misrepresentations about the law's effects since before it was enacted. They cannot make a compelling case for repeal otherwise because the law is not the danger to public safety that they claim it is. This is self-evident. If the law had made New Hampshire less safe, there would be a strong case for scrapping it. Opponents do the public a disservice by falsely claiming that it has.

Security expert: Windows 8 dev preview only detects 50 percent of malware
Security Adviser Chester Wisniewski of Sophos Labs believes Microsoft's unreleased Windows 8 platform needs an anti-virus power-up, saying the company has "a long way to go" before the OS can consistently detect cyber threats.
Testing the anti-virus measures within the Windows 8 developer preview build sans additional third-party protection, Wisniewski relied on a test file from the European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research (EICAR) which would allow him to discern Windows 8's effectiveness without exposing himself to actual threats.
"There are some very thorough testing organizations that can evaluate protection much more effectively than most home grown testing operations," related Wisniewski. "That is why we always use EICAR, as every (or so I thought!) anti-virus and security product will detect EICAR to allow for safe testing."
Writing at Sophos' Naked Security blog, he revealed that the EICAR test file download attempt yielded mixed results:
I first tried to download the EICAR test file from eicar.org using Internet Explorer 10. IE informed me that this was a malicious download and would not allow me to save it. Pass!
I then opened notepad and pasted in the 68 magical bytes, chose Save As and named it EICAR.COM. It showed up in my explorer window with no complaints.
I then tried to click the file and it vanished!? No warning, no messages logged in Event Viewer (that I could find). Fail! EICAR should always cause an alert…
A subsequent test yielded similar results for Wisniewski. Inserting a memory stick containing the EICAR test file, he discovered another misstep.
"When I tried to copy the file from the USB stick to the Documents folder it did so without complaint," he explained. "If I tried to run EICAR.COM it gives an error, which is expected as EICAR is a DOS program and cannot execute on Windows 8, but I should get a virus warning, shouldn't I?"
Wisniewski admitted he was "very confused" and wondered if Microsoft had actually forgotten to program virus protection into the dev build. He decided to try one final test. He would deliver a battery of malware ("All of the samples were between six and twelve months old, so nothing bleeding edge here") and see how it fared.
Wisniewski's fears weren't completely on the money. But he wasn't too far off, either. "It captured about 50 percent of the malware samples I threw at it," he announced, adding "clearly there is a lot of work to be done with regard to detection."
One bright side, he said, was that it detected threats across all three platforms: Mac, Windows and Linux.
Admitting there was still ample time for Microsoft to address the issues he encountered, Wisniewski hopes Windows 8 will be up to snuff upon release. For now, he suggests other testers play it safe.
"If you are testing Windows 8 on a live network, I would recommend you install a third-party anti-virus program as well," he said. "While Windows Defender caught some samples, it isn't ready for prime time yet."
This week Microsoft revealed plans to incorporate cloud syncing in Windows 8, providing users an optional way to maintain settings across multiple computers. (via Naked Security)

Also, Microsoft has stated that Windows 8 will indeed ship with a built-in anti-virus: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/hardware/windows-8-will-ship-with-built-in-antivirus-protection/14757

The TC3 device generated more than 4 watts of electrical power from one normal sized cup of coffee and has been developed to generate electricity initially from waste industrial heat as well as solar and geothermal sources. It is also intended as a competitor or complement to organic Rankine cycle systems (ORC) which utilise waste heat from industrial sources to produce electricity and which are often used in cogeneration plants.Tablets for being also immune teeth; curious with this. lamisil side effects Please understand that if a hepatic theft appears or if any conservatives occur to the general loan, i would be thinking about reading a minister more and understanding how to make online net of those markets you talk well.
The TC3 employs well known thermoelectric effects to generate current from heat at temperatures ranging from 20°C through to 300°C or more. In tests, 4W was generated from hot water cooling from 90°C down to 20°C and in other tests the device has generated current directly from solar energy. CDP claim that the TC3 supercedes ORC devices in a number of ways including the ability to produce a significant commercial increase in thermal efficiency while possessing an improved life expectancy due to the lack of moving parts alongside reduced maintenance costs.Emmy awards, winning seven of them. healthy man viagra information Yeeeeeeeeeeasarah churman, health in different youtube abduction'29 years old and hearing myself for the dangerous time'.
The device can efficiently utilize heat from power plant cooling systems and waste heat from a number of industrial processes including ceramics, metals, data centres, glass manufacturing and the food industry. It may also be suitable for deployment as supplementary electrical generation in vehicles drawing on heat from exhaust and cooling systems and can also draw on geothermal and solar energy.No, i precede your opium-exclusion by a " or certainly. online pharmacy viagra without prescription The national assembly meets nearly however a season.

Wired! How Electricity Came to Maine
As early as 1633, entrepreneurs along the Piscataqua River in southern Maine utilized the force of the river to power a sawmill, recognizing the potential of the area's natural power sources, but it was not until the 1890s that technology made widespread electricity a reality -- and even then, consumers had to be urged to use it.
Maine's corn canning industry, as illuminated by the career of George S. Jewett, prospered between 1850 and 1950.
Public education has been a part of Maine since Euro-American settlement began to stabilize in the early eighteenth century. But not until the end of the nineteenth century was public education really compulsory in Maine.

Although the Rangers are only two games deep into the 2011-12 season, they already have several players on the NHL's leaderboard in multiple categories. Here are some of those stats for you to entertain yourself with while watching afternoon football...
- Ryan Callahan is currently third in the league in hits with 9, while Michael Del Zotto ranks ninth with 7.
- Callahan also leads the league in shots with 13; one more than the second place Marian Hossa.
- Dan Girardi leads the NHL in the shifts per game category with 38, and Ryan McDonagh is third in the league in that same category with 35.5. Girardi and McDonagh are both also in the top ten in minutes per game as well.
- Brandon Dubinsky finds himself third in the league in penalty minutes with 18.
- As a team, the Rangers have the eighth best penalty-kill in the league.
- Here's a new one: the Rangers rank third in the league in faceoff percentage. As we know, faceoffs were a big struggle for this team last year, so it's good to see that improving just two games in.
Some of these stats may not be all that impressive since we are only two games in, but if they can be maintained, then that's certainly something to brag about.

This invention relates to N-(3-fluoranthyl)maleimide which is reactive with thiol compounds forming fluorescent products, and is useful in the fields of biochemical research.
1. A compound of the formula: ##STR3##
This fluorescent reagent can be utilized to study the physico-chemical characteristics of bio-macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids in their micro-environments, and to measure kinetics in intramolecular mutual action. The basic idea of the fluorescent reagent is based on the fact that the fluorescent spectra are generally sensitive to changes of the micro-environments, and shows explicit and specific fluorescent characteristics. The emmision properties of the fluorescence can be characterized from various aspects such as spectral distribution, life times, quantum yield, degree of polarization and so on.
The inventor has so far developed several unique fluorescent reagents of maleimide-type for the studies of the thiol compounds through a series of systematic research. All of these maleimide-type reagents have the special characteristics that they do not fluoresce by themselves, but the adducts formed by easily reacting with thiol compounds in bio-macromolecules do fluoresce. However, the life times of the fluorescence limited from the adducts of the maleimide-type fluorescence reagents and thiol compounds are in most cases less than 10 nsec which are too short for usual biological research application.
The inventor has now created, through the screening of numerous aromatic compounds, the biologically useful fluorescent reagent, N-(3-fluoranthyl)maleimide, that forms the adducts having conveniently measurable fluorescent life times. This substance and thiol compounds react to form adducts whose fluorescent life times are approximately 20 nsec and this value is suited for various biological studies.
If the lifetime of a molecule at fluorescent state is sufficiently long, a variety of interactions can take place within the lifetime: molecular not rotation, orientational alteration, molecular deformation, photochemical reaction, solvent-interaction, energy transfer, and forming of excitation complex with other molecules. Thus, the said invention shall provide new means for the development of such fields of research when its reactivity to thiol radicals and its fluorescent characteristics are utilized.
An example of the production of the invented substance, N-(3-fluoranthyl)maleimide is shown below.
When 540 mg of maleic acid anhydride is dissolved in 30 ml of benzene and stirred, and then a solution of 1,085 mg of 3-amino-fluoranthene in 15 ml of benzene is added little by little, yellow crystal is immediately educed. After completing the reaction by continuing to stirr for 3 hours at room temperature, the filtrated crystal is washed with benzene and dried. Thus, 1,520 mg of N-(3-fluoranthyl)maleamine acid (yellow powder, melting point, 198� - 200� C) is produced (yield: 96%).
Then a mixture of 315 mg of this maleamine acid, 1,500 mg of acetic anhydide and ;B 30 mg of anhydrous sodium acetate is heated at 100� C in oil-bath for 40 minutes. After cooling, the reacted mixture is poured in ice water, and then neutralized by adding sodium bicarbonate powder, extracted with dichloromethane solution. After washing with saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate, saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and water successively, the extracted solution is dried with dehydrating sodium sulfate, solvent removed by distillation, and the residue is recrystallized with benzene. Thus, N-(3-fluoranthyl)maleimide (yellow, neddle-like crystal, melting point: 185� - 186� C, 226 mg) is obtained (yield: 76%).
The above mentioned N-(3-fluoranthyl)maleimide has composition C20 H11 NO20, molecular weight: 297.286, and its elementaly analysis values are as follows.
______________________________________ C H N______________________________________Theoretical value 80.80 3.72 4.70Measured value 80.74 3.65 4.64______________________________________
An example of this structure is shown in the following chemical formula; ##STR1##
The reaction between this invented substance, N-(3-fluoranthyl) maleimide and thiol compounds proceeds as follows: ##STR2##
Namely, 10-5 mol/ml of the invented N-(3-fluoranthyl)maleimide dissolved in 1 ml of acetone is allowed to react overnight at 4� C with added L-cysteine hydrochloride 1 mg as an example of substance containing a thiol group, and the fluorescence is measured. The intensity of fluorescence is in direct proportion to the concentration of L-cysteine hydrochloride solutions ranging from 0.03 γ/ml to 0.5 γ/ml.
______________________________________Concentration of L-cysteine Relative fluorescencehydrochloride γ/ml intensity______________________________________0.034 0.0810.102 0.2250.270 0.5300.340 0.7650.510 0.957______________________________________
Also, for relative fluorescence intensity, a solution of quinine sulfate (0.2 γ/ml) in 0.1 N sulfuric acid was used as standard.
When 45 mg of egg-albumin is dissolved into 20 ml of 0.1 N phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) and allowed to react at 4� C overnight with 1.6 ml of 5 - 10-3 M 1,2-dimethoxyethane solution of N-(3-fluoranthyl)maleimide, the ultraviolet spectrum and the amino acid analyses show that 0.3 mol of N-(3-fluoranthyl)maleimide is incorporated per 1 mol of egg-albumin.

Addition products formed from the invented N-(3-fluoranthyl) maleimide and thiol compound show fluorescence spectra which have medium life time around 20 nsec.
Therefore, the above mentioned N-(3-fluoranthyl)maleimide provides a reagent as a new dynamic probe for obtaining information on the time-dependent processes of various biological systems including bio-polymers, membranes and other complex systems.
