|Hey David ! FIGURE IT OUT.
The Red Sox granted the Houston Astros permission to speak with first base coach Tim Bogar and bench coach Brad Mills about the team's managerial opening. Mills and third base coach Demarlo Hale interviewed for the Seattle Mariners open job last season, but lost out to Don Wakamatsu.
"It's pretty cool," said Mills about the opportunity. "It just goes to show how many good guys we have on this coaching staff and it says a lot about Tito (Francona) and Theo (Epstein) and ownership and the people they've put together here."
Bogar may have the edge due to his ties to GM Ed Wade (from their days with the Phillies) and that Bogar played with the Astros from 1997-2000. He also managed the Astros Single-A affiliate from 2004-2005.
The Indians asked Sox pitching coach John Farrell if he was interested in their managerial opening, but Farrell declined and should be back with the Sox in 2010.

Two fighters who you wish would have never / or will never retire? #FightForever
Which two fighters in the history of boxing would you wish never retired, or if they're still active, will never retire in the future. Everyone need to retire someday but if you could pick two fighters who would always remain active, freezing time in their prime, who would it be?
It's a tough one for me.. at first I was going to say Hopkins, but then on second thoughts I picked a different two..
Muhammad Ali

Damn I was gonna pick Broner and Floyd so they could get beat to a pulp well into their 50's and 60's but since you say they have permanent prime then I guess Julio Cesar Chavez/Jose Luis Castillo and Roberto Duran.

Easily Pacquiao at welterweight, Jones Jr, Tyson, and Martinez. I love their styles and they were exciting, borderline explosive, fighting at their primes.
I'd also say Muhammad Ali during his first Liston fight. He wasn't as refined or gritty, but he definitely had a flair to him that I haven't seen since in the heavyweight division.
Edit: I forgot to include Jones.

Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX) today announced that Steve Luczo, president, CEO and chairman of Seagate has been named one of Fortune Magazine's top Businesspersons of the Year for 2012. This prestigious annual ranking honors the top performing leaders across multiple industries.
Selections were made from a variety of factors, including financial results, stock performance and market value of the company, as well as strategic savvy, the ability to gracefully steer a very large organization, risk taking, and cultural significance.
One of only a handful of Silicon Valley leaders on the list, Luczo was honored alongside luminaries such as Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Tim Cook of Apple, Larry Page of Google, Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway, Oh-Hyun Kwon of Samsung, Larry Ellison of Oracle and Ginni Rometty of IBM. Of Luczo, Fortune said, "Luczo took over a company with declining market share, rising costs, and massive debt. Fast forward to 2012: Seagate has achieved record revenues and profits and has regained its position as the largest hard disk manufacturer in the world."
"This is clearly a tremendous honor that also recognizes the thousands of employees at Seagate who have dedicated themselves to helping Seagate become one of the best technology companies in the world," said Steve Luczo. "This recognition reflects our commitment to deliver the best products and services in the storage industry."

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

Hampstead Green Au Lait Bowls, Set of 2
by Sir|Madam
At A Glance:
In our mechanical age of reproduction, the products we buy seem stamped with the boring quality of sameness. Everything you buy in a package looks the same, feels the same, and matches perfectly. The natural variety of life is lost on the products we use, making every day actions like eating cereal mundane and sterile. The Vintage Stripe bowls break the sameness mold and harken back to the artisinal roots of earthware. The stripes on these bowls grant a common theme to the flatware without being confined to the sterile manufacturing processess that make everything identical. The bowls are dishwasher and microwave safe.
- Overall Size: 5.5" w x 5.5" d

Can it be? Are artists standing up to labels? Do they sense a consumer backlash that will ultimately effect them or have they come down with a case of morals?
Unlike the FCC, it looks some artists from the Great White North have figured out what a bane on humanity copy protection is: Canadian Music stars fighting DRM. If you're gonna have your name on a CD, you're gonna be embarrassed if your fans can't play, can't copy it to their digital player or get an f-ing virus on their computer because of it. That is if you do care about your fans which ultimately effects your career which ultimately cuts into your self-esteem. Of course, major labels don't have to worry about this, insisting that they're trying to protect their own assets at your expense. When artists are caught in the middle of this, they can side with the labels, shut up or speak out. Good for these people who are taking a stand now and saying "this sucks for consumers so stop it."
And then there's the matter of digital royalties: Sony BMG Sued Over Artists' Digital Rates. It seems that despite all the huffing and puffing, the majors ultimately knuckled under to Apple and kept their pricing for song downloads at 99 cents. That still means slim margins for Apple but they're OK with it since they're ultimately in the business of selling i-Pods. That's not good news for the labels who want a bigger slice of the online music pie though and they've obviously realized that it ain't smart this early in the game to take on a market leader that leaves its competition in the dust. And now they're getting squeezed by the artists who figure that their contracts entitle them to a bigger cut than they've been given for downloads. If Sony loses this battle, expect more suits to come against the other labels. Not a great time to be a major…
Now if only more artists came out and said "stop suing people in our name…" The RIAA is plowing ahead with more college crackdowns, likely in lieu of more lawsuits, probably unconcerned with any bad press or backlash. Artists should be concerned about this though. It comes back to that fans/career/self-esteem thing…

With the upcoming release of Man of Steel, stuff.co.nz brings you 9 weird superman facts that will give you strength to take on the nerdiest comic book fan.
1. Now that's a secret identity
Superman co-creator Joe Shuster had a secret identity as a fetish artist. Shuster and his Superman partner Jerry Seigel saw none of the riches Superman was making for DC Comics, or National as it was known during the 30s and 40s. In fact both were sacked after they tried to get a share of the money. To pay the bills, Shuster took a job illustrating a pulp magazine called Night of Horrors, which featured sado-masochistic scenes of women whipping men and men liking it. What's surprising is the fact that most of the men and women look like Shuster's Superman and Lois Lane.

2. Nuclear meltdown
Superman was once criticised by the War Department for not showing nuclear weapons the proper respect. During the Second World War American authorities became alarmed by a 1940s Superman story in which the Man of Steel battled an evil professor who possessed an early particle accelerator. They fired off a letter the District Engineer at the United States Engineer Office in Tennessee complaining that having such a device in a comic book would lessen the public's fear of nuclear weapons.
3. Nazi piece of work
The Nazi High Command hated Superman, so much so it took the trouble to write an almost ludicrous rebuttal of one of the hero's adventures. In February 1940, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster wrote a patriotic Superman story for Look magazine titled How Would Superman End the War? In it Superman disables the Nazi war machine, arrests a gobsmacked Hitler and Stalin and hands them over to the League of Nations for some good old-fashioned Western justice. According to historian Randall Bytwerk, the Nazis took issue with the story two months later in the official newspaper of the SS, Das Schwarze Korps. Here a few highlights of the article, as translated by Bytwerk:
"Jerry Siegel, an intellectually and physically circumcised chap who has his headquarters in New York, is the inventor of a colourful figure with an impressive appearance, a powerful body, and a red swim suit who enjoys the ability to fly through the ether.
"The inventive Israelite named this pleasant guy with an overdeveloped body and underdeveloped mind Superman. He advertised widely Superman's sense of justice, well-suited for imitation by the American youth. As you can see, there is nothing the Sadducees won't do for money!
"... A triumphant final frame [of the story] shows Superman dropping in at the headquarters of the chatterboxes at the League of Nations in Geneva. Although the rules of the establishment probably prohibit people in bathing suits from participating in their deliberations, Superman ignores them as well as the other laws of physics, logic, and life in general.
"Jerry Siegellack stinks. Woe to the American youth, who must live in such a poisoned atmosphere and don't even notice the poison they swallow daily."
4. Holocaust fears
DC deliberately deleted the words "Jews" and "Jewish" from a Superman comic set during the Holocaust. In 1998 DC decided to have Superman travel back in time to confront the horrors of the Holocaust, but despite the fact the character was created by two Jewish Americans, writers had to refer to Jews as the "target population of the Nazis' hate" or "murdered residents". After a flood of complaints DC apologised, saying they had banned the words because they didn't want kids using them as terms of abuse. Joey Cavalieri, the book's editor, said at the time: "Since this could be the first time (a reader) encounters the Jews in print, I would be heartbroken if this (story) went badly."
5 Kicking the Ku Klux Klan
After the Second World War, Superman set his sights on ridding America of the Ku Klux Klan. In the radio play Clan of the Fiery Cross, Superman triumphed over the KKK villain the Grand Scorpion, and spread the message of racial equality. Almost 25 years later, Superman publisher shamefully turned back the clock on race relations when it asked its readers how interested they were in black people. A customer survey printed at the back of Justice League of America No. 83 (September 1970) asked readers all sorts of bland marketing questions, but tucked away rather innocently in a section titled How Interested Are You In . . . between space flights and pollution is a box for black people. It is not known how many Batman and Superman fans ticked yes.
6. Super godfather
Mario Puzo, the author of The Godfather, found writing comics too difficult. Before he found fame as a novelist, Puzo eked a living writing for men's adventure magazines. Short of cash one month, he asked Stan Lee if he could try his hand writing a comic script. Lee readily agreed but Puzo couldn't deliver the goods. "He said it was too difficult," Lee recounts in his autobiography. Puzo told him: "I could write a novel in the time it would take me to figure this damn thing out." Puzo did eventually crack the superhero nut, writing the screenplays for the first two Superman movies.
7. Double dating
Superman once went on a double date with Spider-man. Marvel and DC decided to put their flagship characters together for the first time in the 1976 special Superman v Amazing Spider-man. Although the two heroes joined forces to battle the combined villainy of their nemeses, they spent a fair amount of the comic knocking each other about. Both won a round each but this being comics, friendship was declared the eventual winner. The two defeated their foes and celebrated by going on a double date with Lois Lane and Mary-Jane. Superman and Spider-man crossed paths again in 1981, when Superman was clobbered by the Hulk, but the ultimate cross-universe slug-fest was the 1996 series DC v Marvel Comics, in which reader votes determined the outcome of the fights.
8. Super signing
Making the "S" symbol on your chest means Superman in American Sign Language.
9. Deader than Krypton
Batman and Robin is widely considered the worst superhero adventure to ever reach the big screen but that film would have been Shakespeare compared to the Superman reboot the film's producer, Jon Peters, had been cooking up. Listen to Clerks director Kevin Smith reminisce about his hellish days working on the shelved Superman Lives. Warning: Some graphic language.

To determine the extent to which preoperative performance on tests of executive function and memory was associated with delirium after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
Prospective observational cohort study.
Two academic medical centers and one Department of Veterans Affairs medical center in Massachusetts.
Eighty subjects without preoperative delirium undergoing CABG or CABG-valve surgery completed baseline neuropsychological assessments with validated measures of memory and executive function.
Beginning on postoperative Day 2, a battery to diagnose delirium was administered daily. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to define two cognitive domain composites (memory and executive function). The loading pattern of neuropsychological measures onto the latent cognitive domains was determined a priori. Poisson regression was used to model the association between neuropsychological performance and cognitive domain composite scores and risk of postoperative delirium. The association was expressed as the difference between impaired (0.5 standard deviations (SDs) below mean) and nonimpaired (0.5 SDs above mean) performers.
Forty subjects (50%) developed delirium. Measures of memory function were not significantly related to delirium. Of the executive function measures, verbal fluency, category fluency, Hopkins Verbal Learning Test learning, and backward recounting of days and months were significantly related to delirium. Preoperative mental status was a strong predictor of postoperative delirium. After controlling for age, sex, education, medical comorbidity, mental status, and the other cognitive domain, CFA cognitive domain composites suggest that risk for delirium is specific for executive functioning impairment (relative risk (RR) = 2.77, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.12–6.87) but not for memory impairment (RR = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.19–1.25).
Worse preoperative performance in executive function was independently associated with greater risk of developing delirium after CABG.
Delirium is a common complication of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, occurring in 32% to 73% of patients.1 Postoperative delirium is associated with greater mortality,2 morbidity,2,3 cost,4 and loss of independence in community-dwelling adults.3 Recognizing a patient's preoperative risk for delirium is crucial to detect delirium proactively and limit its severity or prevent it altogether.5
Dementia has been identified as a risk factor for delirium in medical and surgical patients,6 but dementia is a complex disorder consisting of deficits in multiple cognitive domains, with considerable individual variability in how these domains are affected. Although memory deficits are the cornerstone of this diagnosis, impairments in executive function have recently been shown to be important predictors of functional decline,7 as well as predictors of the risk for dementia itself.8 Executive function is the term given to a spectrum of cognitive operations such as planning, working memory, impulse control, inhibition, and set shifting that are necessary for initiation, planning, and control of behavior9 and appear to be critically dependent on the frontal cortex and its connections to other cerebral and subcortical areas.10
Executive functions seem to be important in the level of functional impairment in dementia and may also be impaired in patients who do not meet the formal criteria for this diagnosis. For example, executive function may be impaired in patients with evidence of microvascular disease11 and even in patients who have risk for cerebrovascular disease.11,12 This is particularly important, because candidates for CABG are often subject to these very risk factors.
In this study, standard measures of memory and executive functions were administered preoperatively to a sample of patients undergoing CABG surgery who were monitored postoperatively for delirium. The purpose of this analysis was to determine whether preoperative performance on neuropsychological measures of memory and executive function is a risk factor for incident delirium in CABG patients. The investigators hypothesized that poor preoperative performance on measures of executive function would predict which subjects developed delirium.
This prospective, observational cohort included subjects aged 60 and older who were undergoing CABG surgery or combined CABG-valve replacement surgery at two academic medical centers and one Department of Veterans Affairs medical center in Massachusetts. Institutional review boards at the three medical centers approved the study. One hundred eighty-two subjects were approached; of these, 97 provided informed consent, 83 refused to participate, and two were unable to provide informed consent. Two subjects were excluded from participation because of preoperative delirium, and two did not undergo an eligible surgery. Thirteen subjects were excluded because of inability to complete more than one baseline neuropsychological measure. Therefore, 80 subjects were included in the analysis. Excluded subjects developed postoperative delirium at a similar rate to included subjects.
Before surgery, subjects were administered a 45-minute neuropsychological battery consisting of five tests of executive function and one test of memory. The battery was chosen in accordance with the Statement of Consensus on Assessment of Neurobehavioral Outcomes after Cardiac Surgery.13 Based on conventions in the literature10 and the consensus of three neuropsychologists (LJG, WPM, CBB), the instruments were assigned to the memory or executive function domain, a priori. Some neuropsychological instruments were recognized to draw upon more than one cognitive domain and were assigned to the dominant domain.
Measures assigned to the executive function domain included the Trail Making Test Part B (TMT-B),14 digit span backwards,15 days of the week and months of the year backwards, semantic fluency, and phonemic fluency. The TMT-B is a test of executive function that involves shifting attentional abilities.14 Digit span of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Revised15 and days of the week and months of the year backwards are tests of working memory requiring participants to sustain attention and manipulate information.10 Fluency tasks are measures that assess language and knowledge storage patterns by requiring the subject to generate words spontaneously in a category (semantic)16 or beginning with a specific letter (phonemic).16
The Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (HVLT), a 12-item verbal learning, retention, and recall measure,17 was administered. HVLT subscales (number of items identified in the initial three learning trials (learning score), number of spontaneously recalled items divided by the number of items learned after the third trial (retention percentage), and percentage of items correctly identified from a list (recognition discrimination)) were calculated in accordance with the manual. HVLT retention percentage and HVLT recognition discrimination are measures of short-term memory. HVLT learning score is primarily a measure of working memory with some organization, strategy and short-term memory contribution. Working memory, which is associated with frontal lobe function, is considered an executive function.10 Thus, HVLT learning score was classified as an executive function.
A brief delirium assessment (< 15 minutes) was performed preoperatively and daily during the postoperative period, beginning on Day 2. Subjects were not assessed on postoperative Days 0 or 1 because of the intensive medical care required after the CABG procedure. Delirium was assessed using the diagnostic algorithm of the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM).18 Before completing the CAM, a standardized mental status interview was conducted that included the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE, a screening assessment of mental status),19 digit span (a test of working memory and attention that asks patients to repeat a series of random digits forward and backward), the Delirium Symptom Interview (an interview for eliciting eight key symptoms of delirium),20 and the Memorial Delirium Assessment Scale (a severity scale for delirium).21 This combined assessment for delirium has been shown to be highly reliable (κ= 0.95)22 when administered by trained, non-clinician interviewers. In the event of a postoperatively intubated subject, delirium was assessed using the CAM– intensive care unit, which is validated for use in intubated patients.23
Demographic covariates such as age, sex, and educational level were collected from the patient before surgery. Information on medical comorbidity was collected from the medical record, and the Charlson Comorbidity Index was used to calculate the medical comorbidity.24 The type of surgery was abstracted from the surgical report.
Based on an a priori assignment of neuropsychological tests to distinct cognitive domains (memory and executive function), a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) model with two latent cognitive domains was created (Figure 1). To place the neuropsychological test performance scores on the same metric, scores were transformed using the Blom transformation.25 The latent cognitive domains were allowed to correlate freely, and their variances were freely estimated. The inclusion of a mixture of binary and continuous performance measures and missing data was accommodated by using Mplus software (Muthén & Muthén, Inc., Los Angeles, CA) and the maximum likelihood estimator. Parameters were estimated using Monte Carlo numerical integration. As such, conventional estimates of model fit reported in CFA are not available. Factor scores were saved from these models, which were rescaled to a mean of 0.5 unit variance and used as predictors of postoperative delirium, as were the individual performance indicators.
Poisson regression was used to derive risk estimates for postoperative delirium in the multivariable analysis. Continuous neuropsychological test scores (and domain composites) were reversed (with the exception of TMT-B time) so that higher values implied more-impaired cognitive functioning and standardized to a mean of 0.5 and a standard deviation (SD) of 1.0. Given the Poisson regression model and data transformation, the exponentiated regression coefficients express the relative risk (RR) of postoperative delirium between persons scoring 0.5 SDs below the mean to those 0.5 SDs above the mean. The multivariate analyses adjust for age, sex, education, and medical comorbidity. Independent CFA composite analyses examined the relationship between the two cognitive domain composites (executive function and memory) after adjustment for the above demographic variables and for the other composite (i.e., the effect for memory performance is adjusted for executive function performance). Independent composite analyses are presented with and without adjustment for baseline mental status (MMSE score).
Descriptive statistics for those who developed delirium and those who did not are provided in Table 1. Overall, subjects were mostly male (78%), older (mean age ± SD 74.9 ± 6.2), and well educated (47% > 12 years). Forty subjects (50%) developed delirium after CABG surgery. Subjects who developed delirium after CABG surgery were more likely to be female and have high comorbidity (Table 1).
Table 2 describes the association between neuropsychological test performance and risk of postoperative delirium. The effects are expressed as differences in the risk of developing delirium between those who were poor performers (0.5 SDs below the mean) and those who were high performers (0.5 SDs above the mean). The unadjusted risk of delirium is higher in subjects with poor performance on measures of working memory, fluency, naming, and learning. After adjustment for age, sex, education, and high medical comorbidity, subjects with poor performance on measures of working memory, fluency, naming, and memory were at higher risk of developing delirium. Poor performance on the MMSE was related to delirium risk before and after adjustment.
A CFA model (Figure 1) was constructed with the neuropsychological performance indicators loading onto two latent cognitive domains: memory and executive function. The unadjusted analysis of the cognitive domain composites for memory function and executive function revealed that poor memory performance (RR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.01–1.64) and poor executive function (RR = 1.38, 95% CI = 1.09–1.75) were related to postoperative delirium risk. After adjusting for sociodemographic and health factors and the other composite, the results indicate that risk for delirium is specific for executive function impairment (RR = 5.02, 95% CI = 1.28–19.68) but not memory impairment (RR = 0.45, 95% CI = 0.14–1.43). When the effect of baseline mental status was included in the analysis, poor performance on executive function was independently associated with a significantly greater risk of delirium (RR = 2.77, 95% CI = 1.12–6.87), and poor memory performance was not associated with delirium risk (RR = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.19–1.25).
This study of older patients undergoing CABG surgery analyzed preoperative memory and executive function performance on neuropsychological measures as risk factors for delirium after CABG. A CFA model was created to develop memory and executive function composites, and the association between these composites and development of postoperative delirium was validated. After adjustment for age, sex, education, comorbidity, baseline cognition, and memory, poor performance on measures of executive function was independently associated with greater risk of developing delirium. The effect of memory on delirium was significant until executive function was adjusted for, suggesting that executive function may mediate the effect of memory on delirium. Adjustment for baseline mental status did not change the mediating effect of executive function on delirium.
Previous studies of delirium have determined that dementia is a risk factor for delirium.6 Criteria for dementia require impairment in memory and another cognitive impairment,26 but those with memory impairment or other cognitive impairments have not been studied with respect to delirium. Although established dementia is a risk factor for delirium, the current data suggest that impairments in preoperative performance on measures of executive function may also be predictive.
The association between impairment in executive function and delirium may have a pathophysiological basis. Atherosclerosis is known to impair cognitive abilities, particularly in measures of frontal lobe function.11 In addition, risk factors for atherosclerosis are known to affect performance on measures of executive function adversely.11,12 In the CABG population, atherosclerosis has been associated with delirium.27 Delirium and atherosclerosis share common risk factors such as older age,2 male sex,28 hypertension,29 and peripheral vascular disease.2 On the basis of these reports and these findings, it may be that the underlying atherosclerosis pathology that affects the frontal lobes impairs preoperative performance of executive functions. Preoperative executive function impairment predisposes patients to postoperative difficulty processing reorienting stimuli, which may present as deficits in attention or altered thought patterns that are required for the diagnosis of delirium.
This study has several advantages. The subjects were prospectively enrolled and did not have delirium at baseline. The neurocognitive battery was chosen in accordance with published concensus13 and has been used in other studies to detect cognitive deficits.30 Daily follow-up with a reliable delirium battery maximized capture of postoperative delirium.
There are also several limitations to this study. The population had symptomatic atherosclerosis, a known risk factor for executive function deficits. This may limit the generalizability of the findings to other medical and surgical populations. Delirium was not assessed for on postoperative Day 1, which would lead to a conservative estimate of the incidence of delirium in the population. Despite this, the incidence of delirium after CABG in this population is at the upper limit of published studies. Some subjects were unable to complete the full neuropsychological test battery because of illness, time commitments, and other wishes. Most of the subject recruitment was performed in the hospital, on the night before surgery; under these circumstances, compliance with the neuropsychological battery was gratifyingly high.
Within the battery, some neuropsychological measures assess multiple cognitive domains and therefore may not be specific for executive function or memory. The neuropsychological measures were assigned a priori to the predominant cognitive domain. The neuropsychological battery consisted of multiple measures of executive function, but the indicators of memory function both derive from the HVLT. Thus, the memory factor is underspecified. This analysis would benefit from an additional measure of visual memory function, which was not performed in the study. Finally, this study evaluated the independent effect of executive function and memory in terms of delirium risk; it was not designed to evaluate the relative contribution of executive function and memory on delirium risk.
This study has important clinical implications. Efforts to target populations for screening, intervention, or prevention of delirium should consider executive function impairment as a risk factor. The high incidence of delirium associated with CABG surgery may have some relationship to underlying microvascular disease of the brain that affects frontal function. Further studies in medical and surgical populations are needed to examine the role of mild executive function impairments in the development of delirium.
We are indebted to Christopher B. Brady, PhD, for his review of the assignment of cognitive domains.

I was beyond excited when I saw these! So I showed my supports and made the purchase. The colors on the shoes in person are very vivid. They look exactly like the picture and the quality of the shoe is no different then any other superstar. They fit great and I get compliments out and about with them. I bought the entire set and it's compliments everything well. ... read more
I absolutely love this shoe. The primeknit breaths like a sock, buts holds the foot as tights as I would expect from any other shoe. Also, the shoe looks awesome. Looks even better in person than the picture shoes. My only comment is that the shoe runs a little big. I would probably order 1/2 size down from normal. I usually wear 10.5, but ordered a 10 and it is perfect. ... read more
These metal toe Superstars are of great quality. I've yet to wear them but have tried them on. They fit just like original superstars except with a little less bend on the toe area. If you find them in your size buy them. I sure am glad that I did. ... read more
I really love the shoes but the size is little big on me. I followed what was reviewed to go down half size to the usual size I buy shoes online but still big. So I returned but I still reorder with half size lower than the last one. Too bad coz I got it the day before my birthday. But looking forward for the next attempt, hopefully this time it will work out fine. ... read more
I bought see shoes at footlocker and the sizing was a lot later than I thought. I looked Arby's reviews about adidas superstars and all of them said they had to size down. Before, I was thinking of ordering them online and I inintially selected a 7 because I'm usually a 7.5. However, I read all the reviews and some said they were still too big so I wanted to be safe so I just went out and looked at other stores. Finally, I found it and when I asked for the 7 it was huge. I'm usually a 7.5 but I had to go down about two sizes so I had to get a 5.5. Besides that though they're comfortable and the width is perfect. ... read more
I bought the black ones and they are so comfortable and fit perfectly. These are definitely true to size, I am a size 8 and ordered these in 8 and fit great, unlike the original superstars which are half a size too big. All in all, I definitely recommend these shoes! ... read more
Is too tick and big it looks too big for my body. I'm a size 5 / 5.5 women but they look like size 7 I guess make them look according to the body size. But I do like them a lot unfortunately I already returned it... :/ ... read more
I have big feet so ordering shoes online can be risky. I am usually asize11/11.5 and I ordered a size 11. These fit perfectly and flatter my feet! My job requires me to walk about 5-7 miles a day and these shoes have passed the test! Cute & comfortable! ... read more
I was waiting for them one week and when i saw them i was really dissapointed about the size, i have 6 and they are quite small and narrow for a normal UK 6 and the quality it's questionable of leather . Looks ok in general but not worth it the price I paid for it. My friends ask me if they are not fake considering the quality. So overall I wouldn't buy them again from adidas. ... read more
It's not as much the problem I had with the shoe itself but the coloring just looks better online. Also the laces seemed to be a slightly lighter shade than the rest of the shoe. It would have been nice in suede but rubber did not do this shoe any good ... read more

We stayed here to facilitate a visit to Krka national park. It was perfectly located for us as it is right beside the bus station (our room looked into it). This meant we had arrived from Split, checked in and were on a bus out to the park within 30 mins. It was clean and comfy, there are plenty of shared bathrooms and the staff helped us with all our enquiries. Everything we were looking for.

The location of the hostel is very good- close to the centre and bus station. It was a very basic hostel with poor facilities in the room. There were only about 3 plugs in a room for 10 peopl. The bin was also not emptied in three days which meant it was overflowing. The kitchen was very small with poor facilities and no common area to meet people easily. This meant most people hung out in their rooms or the corridor which was annoying if trying to sleep.

A good hostel only 50 meters away from the bus station, making it very easy to get in and out of Sibenik. Globo had nice facilities, although the kitchen could be a little cramped and short of proper utensils in case you're the travel-cooker type. Otherwise, very nice and simple with just about everything anyone might need. I would recommend it.

* Euro flat after dip in Asia ahead of ECB decision
* ECB not expected to cut rates yet but may sound dovish
* Yen sets fresh 10-week low versus dollar (New throughout, changes dateline from previous SINGAPORE/SYDNEY)
By Patrick Graham
LONDON, April 3 The euro inched lower against the dollar on Thursday ahead of the European Central Bank's monthly policy decision and news conference, eyed for signs of whether the bank is any closer to doing more to boost growth.
Unlike in January and February, there are few voices in the market predicting action from the bank either in the form of a cut in some of its official interest rates or other action to push more cash into the euro zone economy or its banks.
A number of ECB policymakers have played down any concerns about low inflation, casting it as temporary, and President Mario Draghi's own line is that the euro zone is in no danger of falling into a debilitating cycle of deflation.
But many in the market have also read comments from a number of ECB officials in the past month as evidence that the bank is concerned by the euro's gains so far in what was expected to be a strong year for the dollar.
"The market generally was wrong in expecting policy action or a strong message from the ECB over the past couple of months and so I think people are possibly overcautious this time," said Jane Foley, a strategist with Rabobank in London.
"The market is not anticipating action today, but I think Mr. Draghi may find a line or two that sound dovish. If he does that may weaken the euro somewhat."
After gaining almost half a cent overnight, the dollar was flat against the euro at $1.3767 in early European trade.
The main move of the past two weeks on major currency markets has been the dollar's steady march higher against the yen, awakening hopes that the greenback may finally be set to deliver on the break higher predicted by many banks in January.
The dollar has gained almost 3 percent against the yen since U.S. Federal Reserve chief told markets on March 19 that the Fed might raise interest rates next spring. It hit a new 10-week high overnight before retreating a touch but was still higher than a day earlier at 103.89 yen.
"There is a lot of resistance (to more dollar gains) around 104 yen and we may not break that today," said a dealer with one bank in London. "The key to any move higher will be non-farm payrolls tomorrow."
The head of the International Monetary Fund on Wednesday called on the ECB to ease policy, warning "low-flation" in advanced economies risked undercutting an already sluggish global recovery.
But U.S. data has generally improved after a dip in fortunes now put down largely to harsh winter weather. Worries over China and Ukraine that prompted investors to seek the relative security of the yen have also slipped at least momentarily off the agenda.
"I do get the sense that the market is becoming much more constructive about the dollar," said Rabobank's Foley.
"The March numbers should be relatively clean of harsh weather and the market thinks payrolls will be relatively strong. As long as we don't see any big rush into safe havens, the dollar is heading higher against the yen."
Foley said in contrast she expected the euro to remain robust, pointing to the currency area's trade surplus and inflows of capital back into the southern member states worst hit by four years of turmoil over public finances.
Still, a Reuters poll of over 60 foreign exchange strategists taken this week predicted the euro would fall to $1.37 in one month, $1.33 in six and $1.29 in a year.
"If we do get actual rate cuts (from the ECB), we would look for EUR/USD to fall rather sharply towards 1.36, with a decision to introduce a negative deposit rate likely to see a particularly large reaction," analysts at BNP Paribas wrote in a note to clients.
"Introducing new liquidity measures would have a smaller impact...while a simple repeat of last month's disappointingly neutral message could squeeze weaker shorts out and see EUR/USD test back towards 1.39."

Saudi Arabia reports 10 new MERS corona virus cases
Riyadh: Saudi Arabia Thursday reported ten new Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)corona virus cases, taking the total number of cases to 371, including 107 deaths.
Three of the cases were reported in Riyadh, four in Jeddah and three in Macca, Xinhua reported.
To tackle the spreading of the infection, the country's health minister has appointed a council of medical advisors with extensive experience in infectious diseases.
The ten-member council will work under the direction of the minister and advise the ministry on the status and severity of MERS corona virus, as well as the management of existing cases.
Saudi Arabia also opened three specialist health centers in Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam to ensure that suitable treatment facilities be available for those affected.
