These shoes were meant to be for indoor soccer but are sooooo much more. These shoes are super durable and have a lot of grip. They have suede which makes them pretty good for skating too. They are very comfortable and when you compare them to a different type of shoe they feel a lot better. I would definitely recommend these shoes to anyone because they are great for sports, running, and just walking around. ... read more
This is a classic shoe with very traditional styling! High quality leather shoe made for use on hard surfaces. For me the shoe does require a bit of break in time for the leather upper to be comfortable. I would definitely say to try these shoes on for a extended period of time as they may not be comfortable for everyone based on the shape of your foot. Fold over tongue is great be can be trained to lie flat against the laces. ... read more
Love the quality I bought this shoes for my father because it is the only one that he loves and feels comfortable in. He suffers a lot due to the width of his feet and it's hard to find the right shoe. But Samba never seems to fail us at all. I will continue to order these for him every year. Love it!! ... read more
These shoes are absolutely amazing. They're stylish, comfortable and I can wear them when playing indoor soccer as well as wear them casually to a event. Great quality as well. I definitely recommend you buy these! ... read more
After Adidas discontinued the super salas and top salas. I was super disappointed until I got these shoes. I wear these everyday, and once they are broken in they become super comfortable. Use them for basketball, Indoor and outdoor soccer, rally racing, and everything else possibly imaginable. They are the perfect shoes. Hopefully the quality they are produced with continues as these will be what I will be buying forever. I am not a big fan of change. One issue is that the suede lining on the front and side does fade a bit. The only complaint. ... read more
I had a pair of the white classic Sambas and I used to rock them all the time, till the sole came unglued. I have been buying Adidas for 30 years and this never happened. Then my wife bought me a new pair and they changed the label on the tongue to red from blue. RETURN... If they change the label back, I might buy another pair and hope the sole stays in tact. ... read more
Comfortable, stylish, and affordable. I've had my (first) pair for over a year now and it still looks great despite how much I've worn them. The sole still looks near brand new, at first glance you wouldn't even be able to tell they've been worn at all. The arch support is great, and the all around comfort of the shoe is just amazing. These bad boys are super durable, look stylish and clean with almost any outfit you pair them with (retro sneakers are simply timeless) and are affordable on almost any budget coming in around $60 on most websites. I accidentally got the wrong size on the first pair I bought and have them to a friend (who they fit perfect) and he pretty much says the same things I do about these shoes. They've become his favorite pair of kicks and he wears them any chance he has. All in all I can't recommend these shoes enough or say enough great things about them. I really hope these never fall out of production and Adidas continues to produce these with the quality standards they have thus far. Love you classic samba's. Never change. ... read more
I got my Samba's for my 13th birthday back in like 2005 (i'm 23). Samba's are THE UTILITY SNEAKER! Everyday wear, pick-up games, lifting shoes whatever. Surprisingly one of my favorite shoes to commute via bicycle on because of the sole's ruggedness. These shoes have been with me through college, trips through the middle east, and i'm still wearing them today in the gym and around town. Dear Adidas, Thank you. P.S. If we could get some white colour on the gum sole, you'd make one happy boy. ... read more
Best indoor football boots around apparently. My first thoughts are that they do appear to be a great purchase if you are looking for some football boots to play indoor football. You can feel the quality as soon as you put them on they are very comfortable and made from soft leather so they should fit like a glove and should loosen up a bit after a few more games of wearing them. At £80 they are not cheap but I suppose quality costs and managed to get 20% off them with a recent adidas promotion, so look out for future promotions to get them at an even better price! ... read more
These are legit the dopest shoes on the market. Not only are they super comfortable, but they look amazing in addition to the tiro 15 training pants. I couldn't be happier with them, and they fit perfectly. Great job Adidas! ... read more
I love these shoes with a pair of decent khaki shorts and casual shirt. To me the guy that doesn't want to wear running shoes these are just right, and to guys that play or have played soccer you will understand what I am saying.. ... read more
I purchased and returned approx. 6 different pairs of turf shoes from multiple brands thinking I could find a better deal, save some $ and settle for something less than the best. It didn't work. Sent everything else back and finally caved and ordered these when adidas had a 20% off promo. These turfs are classic. Perfect fit out of the box. Wear them on hard, dry grass in the summers in NC when boots are just too tough on the feet and turf fields in the winter to minimize chance of injury. Fit is consistent with other adidas product. I have slightly wider feet than average and these are great fit. Cheers... ... read more
This shoe was worth every dollar and cent. For 60$, I got a shoe that was both stylish and versatile. Even after two months of constant use, my shoes still look virtually brand new, unlike my old shoes which yellowed and wore out after a while. My only complaint was that they were very, very tight when I first wore them, but they got better once I breaked them in enough. Another quality product from a renowned shoe manufacturer. ... read more
Im a UK 10, but in Copa always go down half a size. Well with these I had to go up half a size to a UK 10.5 as they are rather small fitting in my opinion. Good build, leather is good, overall finish is just as good as Copa's made in Germany. ... read more
I love these and they feel so right on my feet. The more you wear them the better they feel. Which is why I was a little disappointed that after two years my old ones got a huge rip. I am only a once a week recreational player, so I am not sure if two years is the lifespan or not. I got new ones so we will see. ... read more
Really like these boots. I use the indoors on a wodden floor and outside on astro turf. Comfortable and a good fit. Only negative is that they squeak! Either that or my knees are in worse state than I thought :) ... read more
I've always worn normal cleats to play on AG and gosh these shoes made a huge difference to my game! The K-Leather is supper comfy, the sole really does a great job at absorbing any shock and its really durable. Only issue.....SIZING. I'm usually a 11us in all soccer shoes (hypervenoms, F50, Adipure, 11Pro, T90 Laser..etc) Despite everyone saying these are true to size or half size samll.....WRONG. I went a full size down in the bad boys! I like em really snug though, but trust me, the K-leather is really forgiving. ... read more
I am using this shoe for work. i work forty hours a week on concrete and my feet feel fine all day long. i have been using this shoe exclusivity for over four years and bought the current two pair so i have backups. They will last me a couple of years. ... read more
Let me start by saying that this is my second pair of Sambas. The first pair was bought in 2002 and I used them for a variety of activities and sports including Tennis and outdoor basketball. That pair was stolen in 2013. Yes, someone stole a pair of 11 year old shoes because they are just that good. When I set out to find a replacement, I was disappointed to see that the updated version had a different insole that placed some awkward cushioning under the medial aspect of the foot. After numerous attempts at finding an alternative, I ended up buying a pair anyway. The good news is that the extra foam that was bothering me was very easy to remove. Was able to peel it off in less than 15 seconds and these babies feel just like my old Sambas. ... read more
A great quality shoes. Clear to see the quality is well above a standard indoor shoe. be wary of the sizing charts as these do come up small. I measured as an 8 on the chart, ordered an 8.5, but in reality need a 9. My feet just touch the end and i'm hoping as the leather gives they will stretch out a little. Too late to return though! ... read more
I love these trainers. They ooze quality, and the touch and feel when on the ball is great. I can see them lasting a few years. My only concern would be that the initial fit is pretty snug both in length and width however after a couple of days they have "given" nicely and are very comfortable. ... read more
This is my fourth shoe,and my only concern is that the synthetic wedge heal breaks down and disintegrates leaving the rest of the shoe intact,but unusable.If Adidas can design a more durable wedge, this will be a perfect shoe. ... read more
I'm a big guy. I have a size 14 W foot and I'm over 6 feet tall. I always wanted Sambas but didn't think that they would be wide enough. After talking with an Adidas online specialist and some of my soccer buddies I decided to try them out. I figured the return policy is good so why not. I am NOT going to need the return policy. They fit great right off the bat! Now after a few days, as the leather has broken in, I don't even feel the shoes on my feet. They are incredibly comfortable. I will never get another kind of sneaker. Sambas for life! ... read more
Great shoe, oozing typical Adidas quality, unfortunately having read a recommendation to buy a half a size down for a more precise fit I have had to return the shoes as they were far to small but will be exchanging them for the correct size. ... read more
This boot is amazing! They fit true to size but you can even go a 1/2 size down. The break in time will come with some discomfort but after they break in they feel just like a glove. They are durable and they are made solid like a rock. Great ball feel just like the copas. I highly recommend this product it just screams quality. Thanks Adidas please keep making these ... read more

Respond to Review of Sunshine Cafe

Review: I had a hard time finding this place, but once I did, I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I ordered the tempeh pocket, which was tasty, but a little dry. Does serve seafood, which was disappointing, since it prevented me from ordering the lunch set.

Attorney Misconduct, Barack Obama, Job Searches, Law Schools, Legal Ethics, Money, Politics, Solo Practitioners, Student Loans
For the past few weeks, I've been writing about law school hoping that it would help would-be law students make an informed decision. I exposed some misperceptions about law school that no one discussed. I also suggested some cost-effective and possibly lucrative alternatives to a legal education. And I wrote about some last-minute things to consider before going to law school.
But some of you will still go to law school for the wrong reasons and pay rip-off prices. Ego, familial expectations, and peer pressure may play a role in your decision. So I want to finish the law-school-themed posts by issuing a warning to students and their parents about the consequences of graduating without a meaningful job and with six figure, nearly nondischargeable student loan debt….
You cannot claim that law school "scammed" you. The "law school scam" movement began around 2007 and the mainstream media picked up on it in 2011. Nowadays, it is common for news outlets to warn students about the low starting salaries and high student loan debts of most new attorneys. Once the truth about law school was exposed, those who felt victimized took solace knowing that they were not alone and not failures at life. This realization helped almost all of them eventually suck it up and move on.
But now, things are different. Even the scamblogs believe that if you go to law school now, you cannot complain that you were scammed if things don't work out. There is enough information out there for you to do your own damn research. The fact that law school enrollment has been dropping in the last few years should tell you something. If you graduate in three years with high debt and a low-paying job, very few people will take pity on you.
You may put your newly minted law license at risk by working for a shady firm. When the Great Recession began in 2008, many homeowners unable to make their McMansion mortgage payments were threatened with foreclosure. In response, a number of high-volume loan modification and foreclosure defense operations set up shop and heavily advertised on television and the internet. Their ads promised principal reductions or even voiding the mortgage altogether! These firms usually signed up anyone with money regardless of whether the client's home could have been saved. The government responded to multiple consumer complaints by shutting these operations down and punishing the key people. It turns out that some of them were new attorneys who did not know any better or had no other choice. Despite their novice lawyer status, a few of them had their licenses suspended or even got disbarred.
These high-volume mill firms usually deal with debt settlement cases. There are also smaller operations that target a large group of vulnerable people. For example, in immigration law, the courts and local bar associations have to deal with unscrupulous notarios engaging in unauthorized practice of law and some even hire contract attorneys to represent them in immigration court.
Most new attorneys looking for work accept offers from these disreputable firms not knowing what they are getting themselves into. Since many of these firms advertise anonymously through Craigslist, it is hard to discern the business's identity until the interview or even until the first day of work. The case loads are high and the pay is low. Promotions and career advancements are a joke. Nonlawyers — typically commission-based salesmen — routinely tell lawyers what to do. At these places, the lawyer's primary job is to do whatever it takes to prevent a client from demanding a refund. Because of their inexperience, new lawyers may not learn about the fraudulent nature of their employers for months, and by then it may be too late. The new attorney will be in so deep that he will face numerous bar complaints and malpractice lawsuits. His name will be plastered all over internet consumer-complaint websites.
Some lawyers will quit as soon as they discover the firm's fraudulent activity. But for others, quitting is easier said than done. It took months to find even this job and it is hard to give up a steady paycheck. Also, the "special snowflake" may naively think that she can set the owners straight and stop their fraudulent practices. And then there are those who stay solely because they want to prove themselves and show certain people that they do not have a sense of entitlement.
When you graduate from your average law school without a job, you run the risk of working for a shady firm. If you stay there long enough and something goes wrong, it can kill your career before it begins.
Good luck getting married with your large student loan debt. In the good old days, love conquered all. But today, love is a necessary but not sufficient condition for a lasting relationship. Now that student loan debt exceeds $1.2 trillion and shows no signs of stopping, it is probable that your future spouse will have considerable student loan debt. And you may have to face the possibility that by getting married, you may have to pay your spouse's student loan debt — possibly for life.
It is common knowledge that large student loan debt is forcing young people to delay getting married and starting families. If both partners have small to moderate student loan debt, they can find a way to deal with it eventually. But those who paid off their student loans will be reluctant to marry someone with large student loan debt unless they have a good job and a realistic plan for paying it off in a short period of time.
If you are stuck with a low-paying, dead-end, JD-disadvantage job after graduation and have six-figure student loan debt, your best bet is to marry someone in a similar situation and strive to PAYE it off together. And speaking of PAYE….
Don't expect income-based repayment plans to stay in its current form. Income-based repayment plans like IBR and PAYE were introduced with the purpose of temporarily helping people minimize or defer their payment obligations until they found a decent job. And PSLF was introduced to provide loan forgiveness to those who work for a tax-exempt organization or in public service for ten years. Nowadays, people are going to school with no intention of paying the loans back in full and banking on eventual loan forgiveness. Enrollment in IBR/PAYE has grown year after year.
The federal government has noticed this and changes may be made in the future to prevent abuses. As part of the 2015 budget, the president has proposed capping PSLF loan forgiveness to $57,500 with any amount above that being subject to a 25-year payment plan. Also, Marco Rubio has proposed an alternative income-based plan:
Essentially, the bill would enroll all borrowers into an income-based repayment program that would put 10 percent of their post-graduation earnings towards debt repayment, with payments being automatically deducted from a borrower's paycheck, much as payroll taxes are today.
For those earning less than $10,000, no payment at all will be expected, and after 20 years debt amounts of less than $57,500 will be entirely forgiven. For amounts greater than that, 30 years will be required, a provision that should discourage people from intentionally taking on large loans.
Right now, both of these proposals are not likely to gain traction politically. But it is a signal that student loan reform is coming and not in a good way. So if your financial plan is to take out a large student loan and hope to PAYE it off in 20 years or work for your mother's almost defunct tax-exempt entity and bank on PSLF forgiveness, you may want to think it over. If you take out a large student loan now and in the future, you will either pay the loan back in full or go through many years of financial pain in order to qualify for loan forgiveness.
I will conclude with some words to parents who may be pressuring their children to go to law school against their will. We know you mean well. And I suppose it's still nice to tell your social circle that you have a lawyer in the family. But you may also have to explain to them why your child is still single and living with you during their twenties and even their thirties. If your child is on the 30-year student loan repayment plan and is living paycheck to paycheck, it is very likely that you will live your golden years in senior housing and only on your Social Security and pension income. And if you co-signed your child's student loans and he ends up defaulting or dead, the student loan company will be more than happy to call you and bring back some old memories. Frequently.
Right now is not a good time to go to an average law school, even with a substantial scholarship. This is because too many changes are taking place. Going to law school now is almost analogous to being a test subject for a new Ebola vaccine. Some law schools are changing their curriculum to promote entrepreneurship and innovation. While this is noble, it also implies that the schools' graduates are not doing well in the job market. The ABA is also proposing changes to the law school curriculum. And maybe someday they will get it right.
That's it. Go at your own risk. Now it's time to get back to my job search.

Spam masquerades as admin alerts
A new breed of pop-up ads is appearing mysteriously on Microsoft Windows users' computers. The so-called "Messenger spams" have security experts and system administrators scratching their heads -- and recipients fuming.
Some of the ads, which hit Windows systems through backdoor networking ports and not by e-mail or Web browsing, appear to have been generated by Direct Advertiser, a $700 software program developed by Florida-based DirectAdvertiser.com.
By tapping into Messenger, a Windows service originally designed to enable system administrators to send messages to users on a network, Direct Advertiser can deliver "completely anonymous and virtually untraceable" ads "straight to the screen of your client," according to the company's website.

ABSTRACT: Novel hexacyclic camptothecin analogs containing cyclic amidine, urea, or thiourea moiety were designed and synthesized based on the proposed 3D-structure of the topoisomerase I (Topo I)/DNA/camptothecin ternary complex. The analogs were prepared from 9-nitrocamptothecin via 7,9-diaminocamptothecin derivatives as a key intermediate. Among them, 7c exhibited in vivo antitumor activities superior to CPT-11 in human cancer xenograft models in mice at their maximum tolerated doses though its in vitro antiproliferative activity was comparable to SN-38 against corresponding cell lines.
Article: Synthesis and biological activities of a pH-dependently activated water-soluble prodrug of a novel hexacyclic camptothecin analog[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: CH0793076 (1) is a novel hexacyclic camptothecin analog showing potent antitumor activity in various human caner xenograft models. To improve the water solubility of 1, water-soluble prodrugs were designed to generate an active drug 1 nonenzymatically, thus expected to show less interpatient PK variability than CPT-11. Among the prodrugs synthesized, 4c (TP300, hydrochloride) having a glycylsarcosyl ester at the C-20 position of 1 is highly water-soluble (>10mg/ml), stable below pH 4 and rapidly generates 1 at physiological pH in vitro. The rapid (ca. <1min) generation of 1 after incubation of TP300 with plasma (mouse, rat, dog and monkey) was also demonstrated. TP300 showed a broader antitumor spectrum and more potent antitumor activity than CPT-11 in various human cancer xenograft models.
Article: Effect of dose regimen on the toxicity of 2′-deoxy-2′- methylidenecytidine (DMDC) in monkeys[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: 2'-deoxy-2'-methylidenecytidine (DMDC) is a potential anticancer deoxycytidine analog of cytosine arabinoside. Using monkeys, we conducted a 4-week toxicity study with toxicokinetics of DMDC at 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg/day and a dose-regimen study of three different schedules of once-daily administration (5 mg/kg/day) for 1 week every 2 weeks, 2 weeks every 4 weeks, and 3 weeks every 4 weeks. Deaths, myelosuppression, intestinal toxicity, and swelling of palm and sole skin were observed by oral DMDC treatment at 10 mg/kg/day in 4-week repeated toxicity study; however, no skin disorders have been reported in humans. No notable changes were observed at 1 and 3 mg/kg/day. The curves of dose vs. AUC and the AUC at MTD in monkey are similar to those in humans. In the dose-regimen study, all the toxicities were reversible but more severe toxicity was observed with the longer administration periods. One-week interruption showed sufficient recovery of decreased WBC in dosing regimens of 1-week-on/1-week-off and 2-weeks-on/2-weeks-off. A 2-week recovery period was almost sufficient for the recovery of decreased RBC, HCT, and skin disorders in the 2-weeks-on/2-weeks-off regimen. Therefore, once-daily for 2 weeks every 4 weeks was concluded to be the optimal dose regimen. In summary, myelosuppression, intestinal toxicity, and skin disorders were observed in DMDC treatment in monkeys, the relationship between AUC and toxicity in monkeys was close to that in humans, and in preclinical studies, it is advantageous to investigate optimal dose regimens using the appropriate species.
Article: Relationship between AUC of 5'-DFUR and toxicity of capecitabine, fluoropyrimidine carbamate analogs, and 5'-DFUR in monkeys, mice, and rats[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Capecitabine is an oral fluoropyrimidine carbamate which is converted to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) via 3 enzymatic step to 5'-deoxy-5-fluorocytidine (5'-DFCR), 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5'-DFUR), and finally 5-FU. We performed 4-week toxicity studies of capecitabine (N(4)-pentyloxycarbonyl-5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine), galocitabine (trimethoxybenzyl-5'-deoxy-5-fluorocytidine), 4 different fluoropyrimidine carbamate analogs (R=butyl, isopentyl, propyl, or phenethyl), and 5'-DFUR in cynomolgus monkeys with toxicokinetic measurements of intact molecules, 5'-DFCR, and 5'-DFUR. Four-week toxicity data for capecitabine in rats and mice were also obtained for comparison. Capecitabine, galocitabine, butyl, and isopentyl analogs showed similar toxicities in hematopoietic and intestinal organs at 1.0 mmol/kg and the AUCs of 5'-DFUR were approximately 40 to 60 microg*hr/ml. These compounds showed slight toxicity at 0.5 mmol/kg and no toxicity at 0.1 mmol/kg, and AUCs of 5'-DFUR were approximately 30 and 5 microg*hr/ml, respectively. Propyl and phenethyl analogs showed slight toxicity at 1.0 mmol/kg and no toxicity at 0.5 mmol/kg, and AUCs of 5'-DFUR were approximately 30 and 10 microg*hr/ml, respectively. On the other hand, severe and slight-to-moderate toxicity was observed at 0.5 and 0.25 mmol/kg in 5'-DFUR-treated monkeys and AUCs of 5'DFUR were 35.6 and 5.2 microg*hr/ml, respectively. In mice and rats, the toxicity of capecitabine was less than in monkeys relative to dose, but 5'-DFUR AUCs were almost the same. In conclusion, 5'-DFUR AUC correlated with toxicity following oral administration of capecitabine and its analogs in monkeys, mice, and rats, although this relationship is not seen in humans. Capecitabine was less toxic in monkeys than oral 5'-DFUR according to dose (mmol/kg) and 5'-DFUR AUC.
Article: Cisplatin-Induced Cytotoxicity in BSO-Exposed Renal Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells: Sex, Age, and Species[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cisplatin (CP)-induced kidney damage and effects of DL-buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine (BSO) on it are species- and age-different. It remains unclear whether CP-induced cytotoxicity in renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RTEC), the main target cells of CP, is also species- and age-different; and whether CP-induced cytotoxicity varies with the difference in age and species, if any, is one of the questions. In the present study, the effects of BSO on CP-induced cytotoxicity in primary cultures of RTEC isolated from monkeys and different age and sex rats were studied. The RTEC were isolated from 3-week-old, 2-month-old, or 5-month-old rats, and 6-8 year-old monkeys. After subculturing, RTEC was inoculated into type I collagen-coated 96-well culture plates; after preincubation, 40 microM BSO was added, 16 hours later, varying concentrations of CP were added. At that time, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays were performed to test cell viability. The concentrations of CP that inhibited 50% cell growth (IC50) of RTEC from rats and monkeys were 1.11 and 3.03 mM at 8 hours, and 0.51 and 1.24 mM at 24 hours, respectively. The BSO made the IC50s of RTEC from rats and monkeys lower, down to 0.07 and 0.48 mM at 8 hours, and 0.02 and 0.11 mM at 24 hours, respectively. The IC50s of RTEC from different sex and age rats were almost same. These results suggested that CP-induced cytotoxicity was concentration- and time-dependent, with species-dependent differences, rat RTEC were more susceptible to CP than monkey RTEC, rat RTEC were more dependent on glutathione (GSH) during the stress state were than monkey cells; CP-induced cytotoxicity was without sex- and age-dependent differences in rat RTEC.

ABSTRACT: The effects of DL-buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine(BSO) and L-cysteine(CYS) on cytotoxicity induced by cisplatin(CP) and diclofenac(DIC) in primary cell cultures of hepatocytes and renal tubular epithelial cells(RTEC) isolated from rats or monkeys were studied. Hepatocytes and RTEC were inoculated into collagen-coated 96-well culture plates. After preincubation, a series of concentrations of CP or DIC were added, and 16 h and 4 h prior to CP and DIC, 40 microM BSO and 5 mM CYS were added, respectively. MTT assays were performed to evaluate cytotoxicity(concentrations of drug that inhibited 50% cell growth, IC50). CYS made IC50s of CP in rat and monkey RTEC increase up to more than 5 mM, but BSO made IC50s of CP in rat RTEC lower down with bigger magnitude than that in monkey RTEC; similarly, CYS made IC50s of CP in rat hepatocytes increase up to more than 5 mM, but BSO made IC50s lower down with bigger magnitude than that in rat RTEC. However, neither CYS nor BSO had significant effects on all IC50s of DIC in all examined cells. These results suggested that during CP-induced stress state, rat hepatocytes were more susceptible to changes of GSH level than rat RTEC, and rat RTEC were more dependent on intracellular GSH status than monkey RTEC. DIC-induced cytotoxicity in RTEC and hepatocytes is independent of GSH level.
Article: Design and synthesis of the tumor-activated prodrug of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) inhibitor, RO0094889 for combination therapy with capecitabine[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A series of tumor-activated prodrugs of the inhibitors of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), an enzyme catabolizing 5-fluorouracil (5-FU: 4g), has been designed and synthesized. RO0094889 (11c) is a prodrug of 5-vinyluracil (4c), a known DPD inhibitor, and was designed to generate 4c selectively in tumor tissues by sequential conversion of 11c by three enzymes: esterase, cytidine deaminase and thymidine phosphorylase, the latter two of which are known to be highly expressed in various tumor tissues. When capecitabine (1), a tumor-activated prodrug of 5-FU, was co-administered orally with 11c, 5-FU in tumor tissues was significantly increased with only a slight increase of 5-FU in plasma as compared with oral capecitabine alone.

Article Summary
Whether it's through parents' forgetfulness, ignorance or just plain not caring, it does sometimes happen ... small children die from heatstroke after being left unattended in a hot parked car. According to a 2012 study conducted by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an average of 38 such deaths occur in the United States alone each year. While various systems have been developed to help keep this from happening, three engineering undergrads from Baltimore's Johns Hopkins University have taken a unique approach. They've converted a Microsoft Kinect into a child-in-the-hot-car detector.

Democrat Sylvia Matousek is one of six candidates running for a councilor seat on the DeWitt Town Board. There are three vacant spots. Election Day is Tuesday Nov. 3.
President, Teachers Union
Political background:
I have served as Democratic Committee person in both North Syracuse and DeWitt, and on the planning board as a resident of North Syracuse. I have been involved in most local campaigns, and was fortunate enough to attend the Democratic National Convention. I am in frequent contact with legislators in my role as a teacher leader and as a community member, with issues which I believe are of vital importance to people's lives.
Community involvement:
I'm involved in the DeWitt Democratic Committee and attend most board meetings.
Why are you running for a seat on the DeWitt Town Board?
Originally I became involved in several issues ranging from airport odors to the coal gasification plan. I contacted my elected officials and supported those who would protect the quality of life in my community. The current board has been forward looking, hardworking and transparent, and I hope to participate in their efforts to establish a healthy, safe, sustainable vision for the town of DeWitt, one that makes sense and considers all points of view.
Name at least two key issues happening within the town that concern you and please describe what you would like to do to address them, if elected.
Zoning is a major concern of mine, and I think this is a balancing act between a whole variety of different agendas and beliefs. We need to find a way to blend various interests to guide development without destroying neighborhoods.
Jobs and vacant businesses -- we need to promote DeWitt as a safe, friendly environment to live and work in.
Name at least two key issues happening within the town that you believe affect town residents -- positive or negative. What changes would you make, if any?

Unafraid to read from any genre.
"Stories for right now"
I found the stories in this volume at the least, interesting and very creative, and at most, touching and telling of all the problems we Americans face in our American world. None of the characters in George Saunders' universe feel a sense of confidence or control in the way we are often used to from story protagonists. Instead, they struggle with the deluge of concerns, sometimes frightening and sometimes comically absurd, that we recognize in our own experiences. I think what makes this set of stories so telling is the way they connect with us as members of a strange (and often crazy) modern society, reflecting back into our gaze all the things we do and think: the conceits, the follies, the frustrations, the terrors, and the small acts of heroism.
Saunders narrates his own stories here, and I think he does a brilliant job illuminating the subtle elements, as only an author might. The stories are so layered and rife with comic detail that some other speaker would have to spend a great deal of time thinking through every intonation in order to do the book justice.
"My new favorite short story collection/author"
Yes! The stories are so distilled in such a smart way and reveal things often in non chronological order, so I feel like listening to them again would lead to new insights.
I love the way that Saunders writes sci fi that seems wholly believable in the context of his "real world", which at times is magical with no fantasy element at all. His writing is concise and witty, and all of the stories are fast paced and felt fully formed, even though I would have loved to have read a novel-length version of ANY of them. You definitely get a sense of Saunders' technical past in his writing, although, while everything was smart and complex, nothing ever seemed overly complex at all.
The title story was BEAUTIFUL, and I loved The SG Diaries and Escape from Spiderhead.
Escape from Spiderhead totally captivated me. It makes huge statements as well as tiny, personal ones about the ways that humans fool ourselves into believing we are autonomous at all.
I really can't imagine that anybody would hate listening to this... It's funny, tragic, smart and strange. Probably one of my favorite short story collections ever!
"Listen, then read."
Undeniably the best book I have read or listened to in a decade.
Short stories require the lightest touch, while developing characters and narratives in a very short time. I listened to this and laughed out loud, stopped in the middle of a walk to listen carefully, so very carefully, to the beauty of the language.
Description - hmmm. Maybe better to read the NY Times interview/conversation with George Saunders. Simple stated, stories that put a finger on the pulse of our times interspersed with tempo changes that either ground the stories in reality or allow them to soar into a kind of magical realism.
I felt heard and seen in the landscape as I listened to this astounding creation.
Since taking my first creative writing class in 2008 the pleasure I used to get from reading has been greatly reduced. I notice things I never noticed before. That said, I think I rate books pretty generously. Anyone who actually manages to write a whole book and then get it published deserves an extra star.
"A Familiar Place Like Nowhere You've Ever Been"
Saunders' characters struggle with issues we've all faced - or will face sometime in our lifetime: sorrow and loss, wanting to give more than we have to our children, conquering our deepest fears in order to do what we know is the right thing. But the settings of his stories are weirdly futuristic, and only somewhat recognizable. Saunders is a great narrator.
"I listened twice in one week."
This is probably the best audiobook I've experienced.
The characters are so intensely personal. I identified closely with so many of them.
Just listen to it. Some of the best storytelling I've ever heard.
"Author's Voice... in the Author's Voice"
Hearing a story as the author hears it in his own head is a rare treat. Saunders brings life to each of his characters on the page, but he talks the talk, too, with subtle and delicate differences among narrative voices as well as character dialogue-- both internal and in speech.
The breadth of characters in the very first story immediately engages the reader in the collections masterful acts of compassion and interpretation. This story makes room for dramatic differences in situation and inner landscape, uniting a naively optimistic young girl of beauty and privilege, an awkward and parentally- oppressed young guy, and a sometimes- self-aware would-be rapist, with voices raw and relatable and palpable dramatic tension. Saunders's characters manage to be understandable and condemnable by turns, and they flesh out real situations of humiliation and triumph that are deeply human and artfully rendered.
The first and last stories bookend the collection perfectly, framing the themes of intervention and self-actualization that define each of the stories individually and the collection at large.
Saunders is as good a reader as he is a writer. The quality of the stories as well as the performance make this listen a real treat.
"All the Things I've Heard About This Book Are True"
Astonishing. Utterly compelling. I usually don't like to read short stories, but because of the reviews I just had to pick this one up. I'm going to buy the hard copy and probably listen to it again off and on for years...
"Better in tangible book form, but that is me"
As I said in my headline, I wish I rather had the book in hand. The author uses many current colloquialisms with which I'm not familiar (that shows my age!) and I would have liked to see them. The stories are good: bizarre, contemporary 'problems', esp. of parenting; that I liked.
I was not always sure who was talking
What I said above, applies to this book. Otherwise I am an avid audible.com listener.
"Best book you'll read this year -NY Times Magazine"
I thought it was a little over the top for the New York Times to make that claim in the first half of January 2013, but having read Tenth of December I'm inclined to agree (even though it is still only February). I don't usually care for short stories because I like the slow reveal and the long involvement of a novel, but this collection is extraordinary. Saunders captures unique narrator voices that spring these unexpected characters to life in just the few pages allowed them. Pithy, relevant, economical, dark, and in the end fiercely hopeful. I won't say anything more. These stories are short and part of their glory is their punch, undiluted by even the faintest spoiler. Just do it.
"Fascinating Stories, Brilliantly Read"
I would never be able to answer this question, but I can say this: George Saunders reads his own book in the way that I always wish authors could do. I'm not sure even my favorite actors could have spoken from inside these characters in this hilarious and poignant manner.

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
"This document was published prior to the publication of OSHA's final rule on Ergonomics Program (29 CFR 1910.900, November 14, 2000), and therefore does not necessarily address or reflect the provisions set forth in the final standard."
A public hearing on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) proposed ergonomics standard will run from April 24 to May 3, 2000, at Courtroom 16 in the Mark Hatfield Federal Court House at 1000 Southwest Third Ave, Portland, Ore., from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily.
The April 24 Portland hearing continues the public hearing process, which began March 13 in Washington, D.C., and will continue April 11 in Chicago, as recently announced by the U.S. Department of Labor.
"Protecting workers against painful and potentially disabling musculoskeletal disorders is OSHA's top priority," said OSHA Assistant Secretary Charles N. Jeffress. "Holding the public hearing in three locations will enable us to get valuable feedback on our proposal from participants across the country."
Jeffress noted that American working men and women suffer more than 1.8 million injuries related to overexertion or repetitive motion each year, including about 600,000 injuries serious enough to require time away from work for recovery. Musculoskeletal disorders account for one-third of all lost-time injuries in U.S. workplaces. The proposed OSHA standard would cover 27 million workers and prevent an average of 300,000 injuries each year, saving the U.S. economy $9 billion annually.
Hearing participants were required to notify the agency of their intent to testify by Jan. 24, 2000, if they wanted more than 10 minutes for their testimony. OSHA's public comment period on the ergonomics proposal ended March 2.
OSHA published its ergonomics proposal in the Nov. 23, 1999, Federal Register. Copies of the regulatory text, as well as the preamble, other supporting materials and the agenda for the Portland public hearing are available on the agency's website at www.osha.gov under "Ergonomics."

Beds&DrinksMiami, USA
It's brandnew and clean. But for me this is a Hotel not a backpacker. Not really a common room to hang around and meet People, Kitchen is very very tiny without good Equipment. Staff is unflexible and make you Change your wristband every day so you feel like a prisonier. Location is great but I wouldn't come back.
SoBe Hostel & BarMiami, USA
Loved this Backpacker. The staff is very very helpful. Free Breakfast and free Dinner is great also they organize Partynights every day. Of Course it can get loud in the Nights and the beds are not comfortable at all but for me this is a typical Backpacker where you can easy meet people. Will definitely come back.
HI NYC HostelNew York, USA
Typical HI Hostel . It's quite expensive but I guess like everywhere in New York. Nice, clean rooms, Location is good, next to the Subwystation but to far to walk to go to Downtown. Service and Food at the Cafe is really good. They also run daily events which is great. Only Thing: Check in 4pm is quite late. When I arrived I even had to wait one more hour to go to the room and it wasn't busy at all. A separate Informationdesk is a good idea but the staff doesn't know much about New York City.
Canadiana Backpackers InnToronto, Canada
Great Location and nice Atmosphere. I loved the common area to hang around and get a free tea. For me this is a typical Backpacker where you can meet People. Staff organices daily Events which is great. Definitely would come back and can recommend this Hostel

Put your circular saw on the MDF, lining up the front end of the foot plate with a straight edge (this is the edge we will be working off for the whole project to keep things square). Draw a line from the front mounting hole in the foot plate parallel to your working edge. This is going to be the pivot point for your saw to make angles cuts on your mitre box.
Make a mark a few centimetres away from your working edge past the pivot line. This is where the front edge of your stop block is going to be.
The stop block is how you will quickly and accurately line up the saw each time you want to make a perpendicular (90 degree) cut.
Take a piece of scrap pine with a straight edge. Use your quick square (or any square if you don't have a quick square {I'm not sure how you could live without a quick square!]) to line up your scrap pine block perpendicular to the working edge. Line the end of the block up with your mark and screw it in place.

Most people would assume that a man standing with Immigration guards from 2 countries at the table where visas are issued would be an official. Especially when the man is handed the application form from the table and begins to fill out your form. Welcome to TOGO! The little bastard is someone's corrupt little friend and he is going to steal money from you !!
My little bastard filled it in - wrote a plush hotel as my residence (I wish) and asked for 15,000 CFA (22€ , $30). Suspecting something was wrong I watched him hand over the application and 10,000 CFA. That's when I started yelling 'Thief!'. That did the trick. My 10,000 CFA was returned. Had it not I would have ripped it right out of his shirt pocket without hesitation. After all - I now knew he was not an official and it was a crime.
So if you land on a land border in Togo - do your own application, only pay the guys in uniform and only do it when you can see others paying the money.Related to:

Give a little
Porters and security guards are a thorough nuisance at Lome airport. Porters make off with your bags whether you want them to or not and then expect a tip. Security staff show a keen interest in watches and wallets and will try to suggest that you provide a little gift in order for safe passage on to the next stage of your check-in etc. Smile sweetly and suggest to them that it has all been spent on gifts to other officials en-route.
Tie your goat on right!
Be careful how you tie your goat. We saw this poor little unfortunate goat at a petrol station in Kara. He was placed on the roof of the mini bus with a rope around his neck tying him to the roof-rack. Goats may be the steadiest climbers on rocky hillsides, but they are not very good with moving vehicles. As soon the van started to drive off, the goat lost his footing and fell over the edge of the roof. Remember how this goat was tied on? He was left dangling along the side on the van by his neck! He made a lot of noise and so did the passengers inside the van! The driver soon stopped and managed to rescue the terrified animal. He was put back on the roof, but tied on by his legs this time – all four of them so that he was unable to stand at all! Poor little thing, what a traumatic ride for him.Related to:

Visa Problems
While travelling from Ghana to Togo and from Benin to Togo, we faced problems at the border. The Togo border police demanded money on both occassions and since we did'nt know French we had a tough time convincing them. The border police demanded 20,000 CFA at the Benin side when the visa stamp was only for 10,000 CFA. We had made it a point that in future we have one of the Togolese colleagues accompanying us to avoid any such problems.Related to:

French attitudes
This isn't so much a warning as an account of my experiences. In other West African countries, I was generally quite impressed by the relationship between locals and expatriates.
However, during my time in Lomé, I constantly encountered long-time French residents who made the most casually racist comments, and whose attitudes to local people were from another age. Elderly African men were often referred to as 'jeune homme' in a derogatory way when they came to sell newspapers or something similar, whereas in local culture they would be given considerable respect. Africans were also consistently addressed with the informal 'tu' even where they deserved respect, as if the French people were speaking to children, whereas I got the full 'vous' treatment.
On two separate occasions, I was in establishments where, when I tried to pay, I had to wait for the French manager to return since, as the African employees told me, they weren't allowed to touch money. In Ghana and Burkina Faso, I never experienced anything similar, where local employees enjoyed the trust of their bosses. Other travellers told me their experiences in Togo were quite similar.
Vaccination etc.
1. Before going to Togo do not forget the vaccination. Once you are in Togo do not forget to take regularly the anti-malaric pills. Sometimes it is not very pleasant (nausea etc.) but surely it is clever.
2. Calling home from Togo is expensif. Much more better is to use local Cyber-cafe. This is usually one room with a few PC station with Internet access.
3. The humidity in Togo is very high (even in non-raining season.) My experience is that the washed T-shirt needs almost 2 days to dry.

One thing I didn't refer on my previous post on ASP.NET MVC CRUD with AJAX was how to retrieve model validation information into the client.

I know that I have not posted much on MVC, mostly because I don't use it on my daily life, but since I find it so interesting, and since it is gaining such popularity, I will be talking about it much more. This time, it's about the most basic of scenarios: CRUD.

Picture: Kristen Wiig ELLE's 19th Annual Women in Hollywood Celebration held at Four Seasons Hotel - Arrivals Beverly Hills, California - 15.10.12
We're praying this latest rumor from The Wrap has got some substance to it. According to the movie industry insiders, Kristen Wiig is a likely candidate to play the role of Steve Carell's love interest in the Anchorman sequel, Anchorman: The Legend Continues, for Paramount Pictures. Currently, no cast members have been selected, beyond the core few that we already know and love.
The new Anchorman instalment is being directed by Adam McKay, with Judd Apatow on production duties – under the Apatow Productions banner. We reckon Wiig would make a perfect addition to the Anchorman cast – she's already proven her comic chops with the hit movie Bridesmaids, and we sense that her deadpan acting style would make for some raucous ROFL moments if she were cast alongside Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Christina Applegate and Steve Carell in the sequel to the 2004 hit. Anchorman fetched around $85 million at the box office and we'd put our money on a sequel being even more successful.
Kristen Wiig is one of the most in-demand actresses in Hollywood right now, thanks to the success of Bridesmaids. She recently starred in Imogene, an indie film that featured at the Toronto International Film Festival. She also been busy filming The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Hateship Friendship, along with Guy Pearce.

Each cell of this 32-cell tray is 1 1/2 inches square and 5 inches deep -- that's enough room to let you really get started on a substantial root system before transplanting into the garden or container! Just fill each cell with your choice of potting medium, water in, plant your seed or rooted cutting, and wait. The cells of Rootrainers™ are grooved, encouraging roots to grow straight down and away from the plant instead of spiraling around. This makes for easier transplant and much larger, better-branched root systems!
When your plants are ready for transplant, you will see their roots "trained" along the outside of the cell and dangling free at the bottom, just waiting to take off in your garden or container! Endlessly reusable, these trays will save you time and money as you grow larger, healthier plants, with fewer losses from strangled roots, premature transplant, and other pitfalls of traditional indoor seed-starting kits.
Compact and easy to store, Rootrainers™ are just what you need to grow the garden of a lifetime!

B2B brands fail to utilise social media
5 November 2013
LONDON: B2B brands are not communicating effectively with clients via social media, even though many business people want to hear from them and think it important they do so.
Maxus For Business, a specialist B2B division of Maxus, the WPP-owned media planning and buying agency, asked 500 UK LinkedIn members with responsibility for purchasing whilst at work about their experiences of business-to-business (B2B) communications.
It found that 70% of business people considered that
B2B brands did not know how to communicate with them on social media
but 60% wanted to hear from them, with LinkedIn the preferred (61%) network, far ahead of Twitter (17%) and Facebook (9%).
In terms of what they were looking for from those brands, almost half (44%) wanted to read news articles, while 20% said how-to guides would be useful. Other options found little favour, including webinars (6%) and whitepapers (7%). Nor was video popular, with only 8% mentioning this.
As regards particular topics, respondents wanted news about the company (86%), promotions (79%), insights (70%) and product development (66%). In addition, inspiration (59%) was seen as more important than entertainment (44%).
Business people also expressed clear preferences for the times to communicate with them, with evenings (23%) and first thing in the working day (22%) coming out on top. Only 14% of respondents wanted to be communicated with at lunch time, with similar numbers choosing the afternoon (16%) or before work (14%).
James Bailey, Head of Maxus For Business said that, "luckily for B2B marketers", business people were keen to hear from relevant brands.
"However, some brands could benefit from improved targeting and perhaps sometimes a better understanding of the day-to-day realities of busy, time-poor executives' working lives," he added.
Writing in Market Leader
, Fran Brosan, strategic planning partner at comms agency Omobono, noted that social media was the third most important B2B marketing activity in terms of spend, behind corporate websites and email marketing.
She warned, however, that customers were more open to receiving digital communications from existing suppliers than from potential ones, particularly via email and social networks, where buyers were more likely to engage.
