Avoid incorporating Prednisolone with any type of amounts of alcoholic beverages, as the interaction could cause undesirable symptoms. Additionally ensure you consult your doctor prior to taking other medicines together with Prednisolone. Make sure you stated any of the following ones or make a checklist if you are going to take some of them: ketoconazole, aspirin, seizure medicines, diuretics, blood thinners, rifampin, and oral insulin or diabetes medications. There is no need to stress if you get a few light side effects, such as rest problems, queasiness, state of mind changes, problem, dry skin, stomach pain, blemishing, thinning lightheadedness, skin, or acne, as they could just suggest your physical body needs time to adjust to the amount prescribed.

It's time to call a spade a spade.
In last week's edition, we published a story about a committee that has formed to petition to recall the nickel tax.
Four of the five Marion Countians on the committee also petitioned to put the nickel tax to a vote in 2007. Randall Lawson, Richie Lee, Robby Shewmaker and Robert Darrell Shewmaker were involved in a similar effort then, and they were successful in their efforts. The nickel tax was put on the ballot in November of 2008, and was recalled. (This time, Joe Livers has joined the committee.)

An Obama operative claims that working-class voters would rather have a beer with 'Äúthe black guy'Äù than the president's Republican opponent Mitt Romney. The unidentified operative made the statement in New York magazine'Äôs feature profile of Obama'Äôs re-election campaign, Hope: The Sequel:
"Romney really, actually thinks that if you just take care of the folks at the top, it'll trickle down to everybody else," says another Obama operative. "But no one believes that stuff—no one! And once you puncture that, there's nothing left. He's not likable. He's not trustworthy. He's not on your side. You live in Pittsburgh and you've got dirt under your fingernails, who do you want to have a beer with? It ain't f**king Mitt Romney. You're like, 'Shit, I'd rather have a beer with the black guy than him!'"

This is a divisional of application Ser. No. 08/996,366, filed Dec. 22, 1997, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,986,050 and Provisional Application No. 60/034,181, Dec. 26, 1996.
This invention pertains to surface and bulk modified proteins and synthetic polypeptides with improved properties over their unmodified counterparts. Specifically, this invention describes proteins and synthetic polypeptides acylated with alky- and/or alkenyl-succinic and other similarly substituted cyclic anhydrides under practically unhydrous conditions. The peracylated proteins and polypeptides, subject of this invention, may be used as (a) biodegradable film or fiber-formers made by traditional melt-processing; (b) carriers for the controlled delivery of drugs; (c) a prodrug for prolonged bioavailability of the active drug; and (d) water-repellent wool fabric and leather goods.
Modification of proteins have long been practiced mostly in the leather, pharmaceutical, and textile industries to achieve certain desirable properties (Carter, 1971; Moncrief, 1975). However, with the exception of a disclosure made by one of the inventors on the acylation of isolated soy protein (ISP) using substituted cyclic anhydrides, all pertinent modifications of the prior art to this invention have been limited to acylation with fatty acids and unsubstituted succinic acid. Typical examples of the pertinent prior art include (a) the acylation of insulin with fatty acid derivatives based on up to 7 carbon atoms and higher acids (Asada et al, 1994; Lindsay et al, U.S. Pat. 3,950,517) to increase its stability in the biological environment; (b) acylation of insulin with C2 to C18 fatty acid to prolong its biological activity and increase its transcutaneous mobility under iontophoretic conditions (Njieha & Shalaby, 1992a); (c) acylation of insulin with succinic anhydride to increase its transcutaneous mobility under iontophoretic conditions (Corbett et al, 1996); (f) acylation of epidermal growth factor (EGF) with long-chain fatty acids to improve its enzymatic stability (Njieha & Shalaby, 1991, 1992b).
This invention deals with useful derivatives of proteins and synthetic polypeptides, which can be formed by solution, microdispersion, or surface peracylation with alky- and alkenyl-substituted anhydrides, such as those of succinic anhydride. Typical examples of derivatives formed by peracylation include those of (a) isolated soy protein (ISP), which are thermoplastic material capable of melt-processing to biodegradable films, rods, and fibers; (b) albumin, which are water insoluble materials for use as drug carriers; (c) casein and zein, which are water insoluble, biodegradable material for use as drug carriers and film formations; and (d) insulin for prolonged control of hyperglycemia. Examples of surface acylated proteins include: (a) surface-treated collagen-based substrates such as sutures for improved in vivo strength retention; (b) leather goods for improved water repellency; and (c) wool and silk fabrics for improved water repellency. Typically, the peracylation is conducted using one or more type of alkyl and/or alkenyl-anhydride in practically non-aqueous medium and, preferably, in the presence of an acidic catalyst. Bioactive proteins and synthetic polypeptides can similarly be modified to prolong their in vivo biological activities.
This invention deals with solution microdispersion or surface peracylation of proteins such as isolated soy protein, ricin A-chain, albumin, casein, zein, a-keratin, silk, insulin, epidermal growth factor and collagen as well as synthetic polypeptides, such as somatostatin and LHRH, where each of the acylated heterochain molecules carries at least two alkyl- or alkenyl-succinamide or glutaramide or their corresponding imido species. Sufficient amounts of anhydrides are used to achieve more than two acylations per heterochain molecule (e.g., a protein or synthetic polypeptide chain, peracylated denotes having at least two acyl moieties per heterochain). The acylation results primarily in amide-acid side or terminal groups and can be further cyclized to imide groups upon thermal treatment. Depending on the type of heterochain to be acylated and whether the substrate is fully or partially subjected to the acylation process, outcomes of the acylation can vary. In one instance, the substrate is an ISP and the acylated product differs from the parent molecule in being less hydrophilic, practically water insoluble, and melt-processable. Subsequent melt-extrusion and compression molding of the modified ISP result in fibers and films, respectively. The fibers can be oriented by unidirectional drawing to improve their tensile properties. Similarly, the resulting films can be oriented by constrained, unidirectional or biaxial solid state compression (as described by Shalaby et al, 1996). Both the resulting films and fibers made from acylated ISP are degradable by microorganisms. A typical acylation scheme of ISP is described in Example 1. Molding of typical samples of acylated ISP and properties of the resulting films are given in Example 2.
In a second embodiment of this invention, zein is peracylated with substituted cyclic anhydrides to produce water-insoluble, melt-processable materials for use in the production of biodegradable fibers and films as well as controlled delivery systems of pharmaceuticals and pesticides.
In a third embodiment of this invention, casein is peracylated with substituted cyclic anhydrides to produce melt-processable thermoplastic materials for use in the production of biodegradable fibers, films or carriers for controlled delivery of pharmaceuticals and pesticides.
In a fourth embodiment of this invention, bovine albumin is peracylated to produce practically water insoluble film-forming derivatives, which are biodegradable and can be used as: (a) carriers for the controlled release of traditional organic drugs, pesticides, synthetic peptides, and bioactive proteins; and (b) capsules for oral administration of drugs.
In a fifth embodiment of this invention, insulin molecules are peracylated to (a) reduce their solubility and tendency to dimerize or polymerize; (b) regulate their bioavailability for being in the form of a prodrug; and (c) increase their enzyme stability and, hence, prolong their activity. Growth factors with similar functionalities to insulin can also be acylated to increase their stability against enzymatic degradation and, hence prolong their biological effects. These include fibroblast-derived growth factor (PdGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF).
In a sixth embodiment of this invention, surface peracylation of silk collagen sutures and fabric or wool fabrics is performed to increase their water repellency and minimize reduction of their tensile strength in a moist environment. Similarly, surface acylation can be used to (a) increase the water repellency of leather goods and improve its frictional properties, and (b) decrease swelling of collagen suture and, hence, maintain its wet strength and improve its tie-down characteristics.
The acid-catalyzed acylation of dry isolated soy protein (ISP) was accomplished in glacial acetic acid using variable amounts of anhydrides. Several acylation experiments were conducted using cyclic anhydride (e.g., 2-octenyl, 2-dodecenyl, and 2-octadecenyl-succinic anhydride), and catalytic amounts of ρ-toluene sulfonic acid (ρ-TSA). The acylation was conducted in variable amounts of glacial acetic acid. The acylation charge was heated at 95� C. while mixing for 4 hours. The acylated product was then precipitated by pouring the warm reaction mixture into stirring ice-water. The product was rinsed thoroughly, filtered, and dried under vacuum at 37� C. The dry powder is referred to as SY-P. All SY-P's were characterized by DSC, FTIR, and elemental analysis (in terms of % C and % N) to determine their thermal properties, chemical composition and extent of acylation. Typical acylation reaction charges and elemental analysis data are shown in Tables I and II, respectively.

In a typical molding cycle, SY-P's were converted to 7 to 8 mil. films by compression molding. In a representative system, 3.0 to 3.5 g SY-P was spread evenly in a 5�5 ins metal frame sandwiched between Teflon-covered molding plates. The molding assembly was heated in a Carver laboratory press at 120 to 180� C. After 5 to 10 min., an eleven metric ton force was applied to the assembly; temperature and load were maintained for 2 to 3 min. The assembly was then quenched to room temperature while under pressure. Films were tested for tensile properties following ASTM D-882-88, "Tensile Properties of Thin Plastic Sheeting." The water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) and oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of the films were obtained using ASTM E 96-80, "Water Vapor Transmission of Materials" and ASTM D3985-81, "Oxygen Gas Transmission Rate through Plastic Film and Sheeting Using a Coulometric, Sensor." Film properties are summarized in Tables III, IV, and V.

At a press conference earlier today, Governor Pat McCrory provided a narrow and preliminary look into his budget proposal for the 2017 fiscal year that begins in July 2016. His remarks focused solely on the investments that he would make in the health and services (HHS) section of the budget. The Governor stated a desire to boost investments targeting vulnerable communities such as at-risk children, adults who suffer from mental health and substance abuse disorders, and older adults with Alzheimer's.
Governor McCrory did not mention any additional rounds of tax cuts that primarily benefit the wealthy and profitable corporations—a genuine concern given his willingness to sign into law such tax breaks in the last few budgets. He also did not mention any details for other investments that the state budget funds such as education, community economic development, and the justice system.
Without knowing all of the details of his likely $22+ billion budget and tax plan, it is unclear how he pays for the investments in his new proposal. He could pay for them with money expected to be left on the table this year, new revenues that are coming in due to a slowly improving economy here and across the nation, and/or by relying on a mix of new revenues and tax cuts. Several fiscal scenarios exist. As such, a complete analysis of today's news must wait until the Governor releases the full proposal later this month.
Below are topline summaries of the Governor's health and human services budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Read more

A few weeks ago I left a bag of about 15 library books on the sidewalk by accident (I was waiting for a bus, and forgot to pick them up when I boarded.) I was praying that they'd still be there waiting for me when I came back, but they weren't.
Well, yesterday I found out that someone must have found them and returned them for me! Thank goodness, I was dreading having to pay for all of those books. I live in a very poor, urban area, so while I was really hoping that someone would do the right thing, I feared the worst. But yay for nice people! Also yesterday I witnessed so many people helping each other deal with the enormous amount of snow still on the streets and sidewalks (helping elderly people cross the street, shoveling when they didn't have to, etc.) I love my neighborhood!
Anyone else have stories of random acts of kindness?

Video: Bin Laden's Death Gives Bros a Reason to Party
If you chose to stay in last night and enjoy a full-night's sleep, you missed out on one heck of a brotastic party at the White House. When news broke that Osama bin Laden was dead, crowds started to gather in front of the White House with American flags, beachballs, and Bush/Cheney campaign signs. Cheerleaders took to the sky with booty shorts and "USA" chants. So glad he's going out in style, just like any good championship sports team.
Video of the party from NBC Washington:

People tend to check in during these times:
The roast duck here is great and has been for a good few years now! Also nice dim sum :)
Possibly one of the few restaurants in Chinatown with polite staff. No rudeness here so far. Good prices for pretty good food, too.
The restaurant has reopened under the name of "Oversea". Not sure if it is the same owners as before
The hot pots are good especially with salted fish.
Try the pineapple, ginger duck. It is absolutely fantastic.
Sweet and sour chicken is one of the nicest I've had.
Dont forget student discount!! Save 15%
Watch out for double tipping. They add service charge already but then put bill on dish asking for tip. Annoying practice in Chinatown.
Roast duck with rice at £5.30 is a bargain. Same dish is £8.10 in Bournemouth, so tuck in!
Roast duck and rice at £5.30 is an absolute bargain. I liked it.
great ducks.. really, but services could have been better!
l love crispy duck here more than 4season!
Soft shell crab with chilli and garlic = winner.
This place is the best. There's simply nothing that rivals it, especially at 4am! Crispy duck, I salute you.
Had vegetable chicken -> didn't taste like chicken at all. Vegetable spring roll were really good though.
I had the BBQ duck (1/2 portion) a lot of fat on it. It's not the breast.
Try the awesomer ho fun
Good friendly service, great food.
Excellent food, top service. Stop walking start eating. 10/10
Service could be better, but their yam hotpot is hard to beat :)

Help & Advice
How to guides
How to build a shed base
A firm, level base should be the starting point for any shed or garden building. Without this the structure is likely to be assembled improperly - screw holes will not line up correctly, doors may not fit their doorways and the quality and service life of your shed could be greatly reduced.
Buying guides
Buyer's guide to sheds
The garden shed should not be overlooked when it comes to planning your garden. Choose the right size and style, and it will blend into the look of your garden seamlessly. But more than that, it can help prevent your garden looking cluttered by hiding away all of your tools, toys and equipment - giving you extra room to enjoy.
We have a wide range of sheds to suit your needs, whatever they may be. Whether you're replacing your old shed, searching for shelter when busy with the odd outdoor job (like planting pots or filling bird feeders), or looking for a quiet spot to sit and relax – we have something for you. We also stock suitable storage solutions to ensure that your space stays organised, as well as security ideas to protect your valuables.
Read our guide and let us help you find the ideal shed for you and your outdoor space.

Ranking the Pac-10 safeties
By ESPN.com staff
Posted by ESPN.com's Ted Miller
The Pac-10 is solid at safety -- it's not all about Taylor Mays either.
In fact, the stockpile in the secondary likely will make choosing an All-Pac-10 team a big challenge.
: It doesn't matter if Josh Pinkard stays at safety or moves to corner: The Trojans are stacked here, starting with Mays, a two-time All-American. Will Harris is hardly a stop-gap if heĀsteps in for Pinkard,Āand there's good depth.
: While the Bears lack the Trojans' star quality, they are experienced, productive and deep with Marcus Ezeff and Brett Johnson leading the charge.
: Cam Nelson is an all-conference-type player, while Robert Golden is an all-conference-type talent who is transitioning from cornerback.
: T.J. Ward is one of the conference's premier hitters. He figures to become a complete player this fall. Javes Lewis won the competition at rover to replace Patrick Chung.
: Bo McNally is a reliable veteran and Delano Howell, albeit green as the former running back switches to defense,Āwill improve the Cardinal's athleticism.
: Sophomore Rahim MooreĀlooks like a budding star.Ā Tony Dye leads the battle at strong safety over fellow sophomoreĀGlenn Love.
Oregon State
: Junior Suaesi Tuimaunei will replace Al Afalava at strong safety and Lance Mitchell will set in for Greg Laybourn at free. While they lack experience -- Tuimaunei started twice in 2008 -- they are more athletic than their predecessors.
Arizona State
: Perhaps it's a sign of the Sun Devils' depth that expected starters Clint Floyd and Ryan McFoy are listed second-team on the depth chart behind Jarrell Holman and Keelan Johnson. Coach Dennis Erickson said Monday he hasn't decided who will start. This gives us pause, though there's no lack of athletic ability here.
Washington State
: The Cougars probably feel pretty good about Xavier Hicks and Chima Nwachukwu, a solid pair of returning starters.
: Nate Williams is a solid strong safety and redshirt freshman Greg WalkerĀhas flashed abilityĀat free, but the Huskies have a long way to go in the secondary.

It depends what you're here for. I've been living here for almost 6 months. Honestly, I have been nice and respectful to all the employees here, and they have not once treated me poorly. Also, whenever I ask for something to be fixed, it is done within a day or two. The downside (depending on your perspective) to me is the partying. This complex has a lot of parties basically Wednesday/Thursday - Sunday. While I still am in college, I have past that whole "party hardy" attitude a while ago. There is a lot of trash on the ground after every weekend from the parties, but especially when the weather is nicer out, its picked up every Monday morning. My biggest complaints are the other college students that treat this place with no respect, and have no respect for others in the building. But considering I knew that this had a heavy college population here, I wasn't expecting too much to begin with. Yes, the kitchen is a little out dated, but everything works, and it gets the job done. A one bedroom apartment is very spacious, more than enough for me, and I am quite satisfied with how much I pay for this place. On top of it, they gave me 9 month lease, which fits into school perfectly. I think a lot of these reviews are bad because there are college students coming from mommy and daddy's house, with all the newest, and best appliances and they had an idea of what it "should" be like, and then when they get here, and things aren't done exactly when they need it, or isn't exactly how they pictured it, they are up set. The main office is their model apartment when there are no apartments available. It is a very accurate representation of what to expect when you go into your own. If you're expecting Gold, and you get Pyrite (fools gold) obviously you'll be upset, but if you're expecting Pyrite, and you get anything better, you'll always be happy.

Compared to other Maryland state colleges, Towson is in a good location. The cost of living is a bit higher but if you are a student looking for off campus housing then The Woods is acceptable. I currently live here in a one bedroom and I am happy with my living conditions. As with all college apartments it is somewhat run down but my one bedroom is clean, everything works or has been fixed upon my move in, and relatively peaceful. I understand that some of the bigger apartments with multiple tenants might be worse due to the tendency for those renters to party but you get what you pay for. I have looked around and there is no perfect place for a low price. If you want a nice upscale urban apartment that's like "Mommy and Daddy's" then you should be willing to shell out the money the same way that your parents must to live the way they do. The Towson Woods is the poster child for "Off-Campus Housing".

On March 3, 2015, CWA Local 1133 filed an unfair labor practice against Mercy Hospital of Buffalo. The charge was filed in order to protect our right to distribute leaflets in non-work areas of the Hospital. On October 6, 2015, the Labor Board awarded to CWA Local 1133 the following:
Form, join, or assist a union; Choose a representative to bargain on your behalf; Act together with other employees for your benefit and protection; Choose not to engage in any protected activities.

Why Wear Red on Thursdays
It has been a custom since 1989 for the members of the CWA to show their solidarity by wearing red on Thursdays, but why and where did this day of red begin?
Well for one, it represents the color of blood that was lost in the strife to gain fair and equal rights for workers throughout the years. The day of red is also in remembrance of Gerry Horgan, CWA's chief steward for Westchester County who died as a result of being struck by a car driven by the daughter of a second line manager as he worked a picket line in August 1989.
The red shirt brings together all of the CWA members on one day a week. It gives a visual statement to management of the workers solidarity. The red shirt gives everyone a sense of unity and fellowship. The red shirt is also a visual reminder that checks and balances in the work place have to be maintained daily. So next Thursday and every Thursday thereafter, if you are angered at the loss of jobs going off shore, WEAR RED.
Please contact everyone you know and ask them to WEAR RED. Talk to your friends, neighbors, colleagues, and members in your department. On Thursday, let's have a sea of RED in the work place. Just by wearing a RED shirt, or a RED dress, a RED hat, RED socks, a RED tie, or RED pants, you may be surprised with the results.

Passed The AdWords Search Advertising Exam Again
OK – you could say that getting 8 questions wrong was pretty poor, but in my defence I did have 1 hour 31 minutes left on the clock at the end of the exam, and I would rather get on with some actual work than spend lots of time trying to figure out some badly worded, ambiguous multiple choice questions..
The actual questions on this exam haven't changed much in the last 3 years. There was no mention of Conversions (opt) or Final URLs for instance.

Brand Keywords
There's an article worth reading on brand CPCs over at
While it's true that Google push things too far sometimes and want to have their cake and eat it, you can't afford to ignore the value of brand keywords.
Make sure you set realistic bids on them (don't pay more than they are worth) and use negative keywords to exclude your brand keywords from other campaigns / ad groups.
Here's a recent example from a lead generation site in Ireland.
Check out the difference in CPC and cost per converted click!

Google Shopping – Effect Of Price On Performance
What effect does decreasing prices (excluding delivery) have on the performance of Google Shopping campaigns?
Here is one example with a fair amount of data :-
Of course, this is not definitive proof that you should never offer free delivery, but it is food for thought.
If anyone else has any evidence to the contrary, I would love to hear about it!read more
