Ratings & Reviews
From my experience, these are the best Beats model headphone.
These lack the noise canceling features of the studio and pro models but I didn't notice a marked difference when testing all the These lack the noise canceling features of the studio and pro models but I didn't notice a marked difference when testing all the models (in terms of noise elimination).
The design and materials are very sturdy. Quite frankly, they're just a gorgeous looking pair of headphones.
The fit is snug (keep in mind these are a DJ model headphone), so they may not be for everyone. The studio and solo headphones series are definitely more comfortable i.e. you put them on and could likely wear them for several hours without adjustment. These you will be moving around from time to time. The snugness makes them a little less comfortable but it also provides a solid seal over your ear, to eliminate outside chatter without the need for battery powered noise cancelation. For me, this was the biggest plus. I travel a lot and the thought of not being able to use my headphones because I forgot my batteries or they wore out was just not an option. However, the more snug fit will likely lead to people getting a little warmer, because they do tend to hold heat in much better. Just something to keep in mind.
A big plus on the DJ model is the pivoting ear cups. It allows you to rotate one cup back and off your ear while continuing to listen in the other, all while maintaing the fit on your head. It's hard to explain but if you try them, you'll know what I mean. These also have the ability to plug the interchangeable chords in to either side of the headset, which is a nice convenience. It is especially helpful if you use them in different settings (like having my macbook headphone jack on the left but preferring the controls on the right when I listen on my iphone. It's a small thing but it matters.
Sound is really crisp on the Mixr model. To my amateur ear they were a lot clearer sounding than the studio and solo models. Mids and highs were very good but they do lack the more powerful bass (if that is your thing).
One noticeable difference on these vs the studio was sound leak was certainly mitigated. If you turn them up a little louder, you're not going to have people around you giving out the death stare. The studios unfortunately seemed to leak quite a bit more sound than you would expect from a $300 pair of headphones.
Overall, if you're in the market for a higher end pair of headphones these are very good. I wanted to give them 4.5 stars but that's not an option, so I leaned more towards 5 than 4 because of everything I explained.
I think they're moderately overpriced at $250 but you do really get what you pay for. When you compare the sound quality and material construction, at similar price points, the vastly outweigh the competition. This is the first pair of Beats I have owned, so I'm not a fan boy. The performance of these, in comparison to others that I tried swayed me more than the name ever could. If they price tag doesn't deter you, or the snug fit, I would recommend these to just about anyone looking for a good all around travel / work headset. …

SHALIMAR — In the open water of Poquito Bayou on a sunny winter morning, the swimmers are barely visible.
All you can see is a dark head, maybe a shoulder, moving steadily through the water, trailed by an in-flatable red dive buoy.
Pushed and pulled by currents and tides, the Army Rangers aren't sure if they're swimming in a long straight line, or drifting away from their targets. And every meter counts in a timed swim that helps decide their future as combat divers.
The three swimmers, all instructors at Camp James Rudder, are halfway through a 10-day pre-scuba course to prepare them for the Combat Diver Qualification Course in Key West next month.
Their teachers are fellow instructors who are combat divers.
Swimming long distances in open water against the clock is just one component of the grueling course.
"You've gotta really want it," said Master Sgt. Jim Fowler, the dive supervisor and Army Ranger in-structor who went through the training in 1999. "It's pretty much the most PT (physical training) you're ever going to do in six straight weeks."
A grueling challenge
In addition to swimming more than 14,000 meters in the chilly open water of Poquito Bayou, the stu-dents run 30 miles, train for 30 hours in a pool and complete 12 hours of classroom instruction.
The pre-scuba course mimics as closely as possible the requirements of the Combat Diver Qualifica-tion Course. As rigorous as the pre-scuba class is, it doesn't come close to the demands of the six-week course in Key West, Fowler said.
This is the second time through pre-scuba for all three Rangers."Across the board, they just weren't ready to go," Fowler said of their first try. "If they're physically and mentally exhausted by the end of our course, how could they last six weeks down there?"
The qualification course has a washout rate of 50 to 60 percent, Fowler said. But those who make it through join an elite group of Army combat divers.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these guys to become combat divers," he said. "It opens up doors."
Gutting it out
At the beginning of the week, air temperatures were in the 40s while the water in Poquito Bayou was a bone-chilling 57 degrees. The students started with a 1,000 meter swim, increasing the distance each day. By Friday, they were up to 3,000 meters.
To protect themselves from marine life and hypothermia, the Rangers wear short wet suits under their regular uniforms and don hoods, masks, fins and gloves. Over all that is a buoyancy vest they can inflate if they get in trouble.
Fowler said that in real-world situations, combat divers would be used to infiltrate areas by water. To that end, they wear their uniforms over their wetsuits so when they hit the land they can lose the wetsuits and still have clothes.
"We talk about being able to be the best by land, sea or air," Fowler said. "This is an infiltration tech-nique. It's a way to get in.
"It's just a way to get to work," he added.
A medic is on standby, and wool blankets and a heated truck await the swimmers at the end.
Still, it's cold.
Sgt. Jason Dodd, one of the students, joked Thursday when asked how long it took him to warm up af-ter his swim two days earlier.
"I don't know if we ever did," he said.
One hour, 2,000 meters
On Thursday, the target distance was 2,000 meters, which meant entering the water near the Poquito Bayou boat ramp, swimming to a buoy 1,000 meters away and swimming back.
The men had one hour.
Sitting three across the back of a boat, they got their instructions from Fowler.
"How you feeling?" he asked the men.
"I feel strong," Capt. Michael Culler replied.
Fowler talked about tides, currents and winds, trying to prepare them for factors they're not experi-enced enough to predict.
"Tide's coming in," he said. "You're going to have to fight it going out and kick it in the butt coming back, all right?"
At his order, the three flipped backward off the boat.
From the beginning, Culler struck out ahead. While Dodd charted a similar course behind him, the third Ranger, Staff Sgt. Ron Oxley, drifted off almost immediately.
Fowler steered the boat next to him several times and whistled sharply to get his attention.
"Check target," he yelled. "Check target."
A combat diver completes long surface swims with a powerful sidestroke motion and a finned kick powered from the hips.
The three dive school candidates are still working on their technique, which should include frequent checks of their position relative to the target.
Culler reached the turnaround point first, three minutes ahead of the time standard. The other two rounded the buoy with no time to spare.
"Hey," Fowler yelled, pulling the boat up next to Oxley. "Fin hard. You're at 30 minutes."
One of the combat divers on the other support boat called out a second piece of advice.
"And you're going the wrong way," he yelled.
Striving for the standard
As the three students swam back toward the target, Fowler sent in two experienced combat divers to show how it should look.
They easily closed the gap between the boat and the swimmers, yelling encouragement and treading water next to them.
"Come on," Spc. Shane Carpenter yelled. "Let's go. Check target. Hurry up. You're not going to make it."
Approaching the final target — a flag-draped, barnacle encrusted buoy — Culler picks up his pace, fin-ishing eight minutes ahead of the one-hour standard.
The other two have fallen farther behind.
With the final minutes ticking down, Fowler and the divers in the water yell out encouragement.
Dodd misses the standard by 35 seconds, while Oxley is more than a minute off. It's not much, but it would be enough to wash them out of Combat Diver Qualification Course, Fowler said.
"You've got to be able to pass every event in dive school, every day," he said.
There are a lot of surface swims left, though, and they're still learning.
"It's kind of like running," Fowler said. "You've got to log your time, work on your technique. Speed will come."
The exhausted men —who started their day with a four-mile run and will end it with three hours of pool training — wade out of the water and start removing their equipment.
Culler is happy with his time, but says that the long swims come easier to him than other components of the course.
"This is my good event," he said.
The other two men are quieter.
"Not fun," Oxley said, when asked about the swim.
Culler said that by Thursday, his body had started to adjust to the heavy physical load of the course and he wasn't as sore. Throughout the long swim, he tried to keep his mind busy.
"I think about really mundane things, things I have to do at home and at work," Culler said. "I really should think about something more exciting."

Caught in the Act: Lori and Darren McGrath Gain Support for a Bogus Listeria Finding in NY
Practically a year to the day after I wrote about the suspicious finding by New Yorks Department of Agriculture and Markets of listeria monocytogenes in the raw milk produced by Lori and Darren McGraths Autumn Valley Farm in Worcester, the agency has come up with a second identical finding.
Last Friday, it put out one of its scarlet lettersa press release announcing the finding that gets picked up and posted by the legal low lives of the world, never to be taken downsaying the agencys lab had found listeria and the McGraths were halting sales of raw milk.
Only this time, the agency has a problem. The McGraths learned a hard lesson from their experience last July, and resolved to do split-sample tests of everything the state took for testing. So a sample from the same batch of raw milk that NY Ag & Markets took on July 22 went off to an independent lab in Ithaca, NY, hired by the McGrathsa lab that does any number of state-mandated tests as well.
The results just came back from the independent lab and, you guessed it, no sign of listeria monocytogenes.
Needless to say, Lori is pretty upset, since she and Darren not only face the loss of business from having to halt sales of raw milk, but a fine from the agency as well. And, of course, no one has become ill, just as no one became ill during last summers episode. I dont understand how there can be such a discrepancy, she says.
She adds that the customers she has called to inform of the states finding, under requirement by the state, haven't even considered discontinuing consumption of Autumn Valley's raw milk. All these people are continuing to drink it.
Lori says she knows well the dangers of listeria monocytogenesthat it can kill children, and cause miscarriages in pregnant women. I am a mother. If I thought for a second that a child would get sick, I wouldnt be doing thisYou try your very best because you are feeding babies and children.
Why would NY Ag & Markets be coming up with false positives? Lori doesnt want to speculate, but I will. There is a movement in New York to legalize retail sales of raw milk, including a legislative proposal, as I reported last month. If and when hearings are held, NY Ag & Markets wants all the scare story ammunition it can possibly muster to defeat any such movement it doesnt control with an iron fist.
Adding insult to injury, its very difficult to get judges to rule against state agencies on the basis of test result discrepancies, says Gary Cox, a lawyer for the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund, since scientists can point to differences in lab techniques to create doubts among judges. Justice is definitely in short supply for New Yorks producers of raw milk, and NY Ag & Markets is definitely in a trampling mood.
If my memory is correct last year the same story played out here in Pa. A farmer also sent his own milk samples to a private lab and the results also conflicted with the "stated" results from the enforcers lab. Someone is lying or the labs are unreliable. Two different states same story. HUM
Mark Twain said there are liars and there are dam liars.
A friend of mine with a raw milk permit says when they come to test her milk one of the things they test is the temperature of the product in the bulk tank. The guy pulls a thermometer out of his back pocket, sticks it in the milk to get his reading, and back in the pocket goes the thermometer. Hmmmm...might that not be a good way to spread some bad bacteria around to those not having it. Maybe his pocket should undergo a coliform test for sterilization!
Our creamery collects samples via the milk truck drivers - and we hope we are there when the samples are taken so we can monitor the collection. We've seen them take a tissue out of their shirt pocket to wipe the measure stick (we hope it hasn't been used before) put the samples into the (clean we hope) container they are holding with their bare (unwashed) hands , etc.etc. One of our truck drivers eats constantly since he quit smoking - so I bet he has all sorts of food bac on his hands. If we do run a high count the inspector may come and take the sample himself - with not much different technique, results are within norms, and they just can't figure out where the high count came from - but they keep looking ! I remember once the inspector came and insisted we were missing something - so we let him go thru the entire system .To his embarrassment he couldn't find anything , yet he would not even consider that someone in the lab or the driver mishandled the sample. They even tried to blame us for tainting a whole load (high bac) just because we were the last farm picked up so it had to be us - again tests proved us clear. I am truly in favor of split sampling . We need to keep on top of the NY raw milk issues , as California and NY seem to set the scene for the rest of the nation. The regulators know if they control these two key states , the rest will follow along. We sell to a creamery commercially ,yet we are considered a small dairy. We've had our run ins with the inspectors etc, so I know what the raw dairies are dealing with. Sometimes it feels as if they are looking for a reason to get rid of us smaller dairies (which are clean and well run) in favor of the big farms because the trucks don't have to go far to get a full load.I hope we can sell direct to consumer someday - would be nice to get rid of truck issues, and the fear that they are mishandling our milk . My feeling is that once it has been loaded onto the creamery's truck it is not my responsibility any more - but to hold them accountable is very difficult if not impossible.
A real farmer;
Is this where you do a video of the collecting process- from start to finish on your property?
Broadcasting techniques for the public to see, may force proper technique. But then again, maybe not.
Maybe showing the state/federal/truckers collectors doing the collection at the same time as you or whomever you use for your own counts...the contrast would be amazing.
It's suspicious, as well, that the state's false positives seem to be taken (by design?) when the weather is warmer. If the state is looking for bad-results ammunition as David suggests, the likelihood that sloppy testing procedures (described by a real farmer) and warm weather will combine to kick off a problem before the sample even reaches the lab. Do the truckers have sample refrigerators in their cabs?
Did they actually conduct similar tests?
If the competitive exclusion argument holds, warm samples filled with beneficial bacteria should reduce the listeria, not increase it, no?
The FDA guidelines have a zero-tolerance policy for l. Monocytogenes, which means that finding even one active or dead CFU is grounds for a contamination alert. Warm conditions will encourage the growth of all probiotic and pathological bacteria, and while over time the probiotics will out-compete the bad bugs if the test is performed quickly enough it may still detect a handful of listeria cells.
The FDA guidelines also call for "enriching" the sample with specific chemicals that encourage the growth of l. Monocytogenes and deactivate the protection mechanisms in the milk, and then culturing the sample at over 80 degrees for 48 hours. This process bears no relation to how the milk is handled in the real world, and goes a long way towards explaining why no-one gets sick from the "contaminated" milk.
i would encourage all farmers to insist on "split" samples, which means that when the regulator collects a sample he/she pours half of the sample into their own collection container and then pours the other half into a collection container of the farmer's choosing. that way, the "one" sample is "split" into two samples. the regulator takes their sample to the lab of their choosing while the farmer takes his/her sample to their own lab. that way, discrepancies and errors between samples can be measured. that's the way they do it with epa and that's the way ag depts should do it as well. insist on it.
Our inspector takes our samples from the bulk tank. He is, and always has been, professional and meticulous in his procedure. It is my understanding if a milk sample reaches the lab above a certain temperature, technically the lab is not supposed to test that sample and another must be extracted.
Also, printed on our lab results is the temperature of the milk being tested.
While I do not have any objection to any variety of testing, whether required by the State or requested by a customer, I do have considerable objection to inaccuracy of any degree.
As most permitted raw milk farmers we work ardously to maintain the utmost health of our herd, barn and milking parlor.
If we cannot trust test results how would we ever know if there was a true problem and/or how to resolve the issue?
Interesting to me that most of our local friends and long time farmers know exactly why we are being subjected to such annoyance. Needless to say, they won't be applying for raw milk permits. These folks were raised in farm families long before we came to Worcester, and were all raised on real milk.
David, thank you for printing the truth.
Great idea about the video - our trucker decided to pick up at 2 am - we can't be there at that hour , tho we will be insisting on a more "normal" time for pick-up simply because we don't like people on our property at that hour.
The samples are stored in the back of the truck in a "cooler" and travel around with the truck to the different stops until it gets to the creamery, so has ample opportunities for things to go wrong.
We have also had issues with our load testing positive for antibiotics which turned out to be the new extra sensitive digital testing equipment the lab recently acquired - we have Jerseys and the high butterfat triggered false positives. It took the lab a while to admit that and several calls to the equipment manufacturer ... so when the state insists on a "new test" or "upgrade" to more sensitive equipment we hold our breath for the next mess-up.
The next issue is a lack of true independent labs. Many are affiliated with govt. grant colleges and are interconnected. Research them out well. And though I do not disagree with students working in the labs - I think they need to be monitored very closely as they are after all still learning and our livelihoods are affected by their mistakes. I just hope someone is teaching them to care.
Don or Lori,
Do you happen to know if the tests in this situation were the same? I can appreciate the frustration of finding "a little bit" of something, but if the tests in question were actually different tests and one found nothing and one "a little bit," how can we really compare the two results? What if one was a screening test?
I would strongly question the accuracy of a "cooler" and also the training any of the collector had. I'd check the regulations and point out each infraction in writing and/or on the camera. Pictures say 1000 words.
Sorry Amanda I dont have any hard info on the test performed by the farmers lab or the state lab that took place here in Pa. last year. The info I received was from a farmer that had spoken directly to the victumized farmer. I will try to obtain updated info.
To the best of my knowledge, the tests for listeria either shows its presence or not. There are specific tests that cam be done to determine the quantitative amount of listeria and/or viability of cells. These specific tests are not routine as per the zero tolerance law, but can be done.
There was a "suspicious buzz" amongst raw milk farmers at the time of our testing. To protect ourselves further, we also took a sample 24 hours later from another milking and had that tested. Again, it was negative.
Can you use the same lab as the state, perhaps under another name?
Do you happen to know if your lab at least cultures the sample for as long?
I think it would be good to elaborate on the "enrichment" process. Samples are exposed to a media containing antibiotics that Listeria are immune to for hours before truly being cultured and tested. This step effectively eliminates other competing organisms.
Is the culturing test for listeria monocytogenes (since several of the other listeria strains are not a risk) performed on raw milk which is intended for pasteurization? If not, this would explain how last year in Massachusetts the listeria m. which survived faulty pasteurizing, then went on to be a killer of several people who drank pasteurized milk. Similarly, the suppression of competing organisms (the better to hunt down listeria m.) in raw milk would tend to explain why, if some cultured listeria m. is found, nevertheless in the vast majority of such cases the discovery happens where there has been no report of illness from people drinking the raw milk: the competing organisms are doing their job and overwhelming the bad actors. This is a perfect example of how reductionist scientific methods (here, literally reducing the competing organisms) can get the right answer to the wrong question. It would seem, the better allocation of testing resources, would be to use such testing on pasteurized milk, deli meats and other foods where there is an absence of beneficial competing organisms, and therefore a higher risk of the listeria m. surviving to inflict harm.
This is exactly why I'm not a fan of HACCP programs. Don't tell people how to produce a product if the product they produce is of high quality. Test the product - not the facility or the process. The latter two aren't ingestable.
Does a farmer have any recourse if a state test has a "positive" result and their private test is negative and the state shuts them down?
Rob, I didn't see anything about the farmers obtaining recourse, only that the potential is there.
I did skim over this, and I will avoid tomatoes from them. If it had been raw dairy they'd have been shut down.
Kirsten makes a good point. I agree that when it comes to quality, the product is more important than the process.
According to the Journal of Dairy Science article, "Practical Food Safety Interventions for Dairy Production", HACCP programs(originally designed for NASA), are more appropriately suited to food processing plants than at the farm level. The article goes on to admit what many of us believe; "There is ample evidence that microbial contamination of milk can be controlled by the use of standardized best management practices."
Because of the limitations of HACCP at the farm level, the article concludes that widespread adoption is unlikely for the dairy industry. An alternative approach is described as "Hurdle Technology", or the application of selected hurdles to microbial growth, and necessary processing steps. "The basic concept of hurdle technology is to produce an environment that is hostile to the growth of microorganisms."
It is unfortunate that many believe regulations like HACCP will guarantee food safety. Experience keeps proving it doesn't. Hurdle technology seems like a more common sense approach, at least for small farms.
The article can be found here
It strikes me that none of us know much about the different tests or what tests were actually used in these instances. If these were similar tests and the state is getting false positives, perhaps the community needs to push authorities to use better tests. It's also possible that the listeria test is more sensitive than the tests for other pathogens. We may only know about the other pathogens because someone actually did get sick. Who knows? I don't know, but this strikes me as a good research area for someone qualified.
I don't know what you mean by "qualified" individuals, but there is plenty of info about pathogen testing procedures on the web. Also, you could FOIA various state agencies to see what methods they used, but I doubt there are many alternatives.
Wow. 24 posts, and none by cp, cr or Marler. That is highly unusual. I'm all for videotaping, and even hidden cameras. Baby monitors work too - we use them for goat kidding season. Walmart sells a reasonable wireless system. We have a 4-wheeler problem here and have a neighbor who swears her son never comes to our farm. We've caught him scouting at the top to see if the gate we put in is open. If I were a raw milk farmer having a bulk tank tested, with a risk of losing my livelihood, in the current climate, a video camera is justified.
Most digital cameras will take at least a couple of minutes of videos. More competent video cameras can be had in the range of $100-200. The ability to reload tape or disk is important, since the shooting time of combination still/video cameras is likely too short for an event that may go on for more than a few minutes. Also, detail that might be important could easily get lost in the sometimes-poor quality (especially when the image is enlarged) available from small combination camera/video units.
"Monsanto officials said the decision was not related to the retail trend and that business for the artificial hormone, sold under the brand name Posilac, remained brisk. Monsanto, declined to provide sales numbers.
Selling Posilac will allow Monsanto to focus on the growth of its core seeds and traits business"
I find it hard to believe anything from this company. "focus on its seeds"? OMG I need to find heirloom seeds that they having contaminated yet.
Where's the other side? Gone. Guess you won - and we're pleased. Hardly, but the pressure from both "sides" to keep this debate polarized has made it impossible for people interested in communication to talk.
To debate something, aren't opposing factions required? If all were in agreement, what would there be to debate?
I don't see where it is "impossible for people interested in communication to talk". Would you explain what you mean?
The atmosphere was rude and non-debatable - just a place for people to agree with themselves, and disagree with insults at the expense of others with a different opinion.
Even with face-to-face conversations there will be those who are considered rude. It's a choice to ignore that person and/or that part of the conversation. No point in letting it become personal.
An example: Mr. Marler, I do agree with some of what he has said, yet I have found him to be rude in the past. I rarely respond to his posts. It's a choice.
I believe that one of the main things anyone wants to "win"; is the right to choose how we live our life to include what we consume. That is when we all win.
That would sure be a start if we knew what the tests were.
Does the state not provide a lab report? Does the farmer's lab not provide one? Is this information really not available?
Just to clarify, I am a social scientist and not really qualified to study this particular issue. But if it's got legs, it could be very big for the movement. If the state got a false positive (as opposed to the dairy getting a false negative), there are definite grounds for a lot of fuss.
I don't comment very often, but this is becoming a pattern. State tests for pathogens, finds something, tells dairy stop distributing, later confirmation of that initial test, subsequent testing, or independant testing doesn't find the organisms.
Lots of explainations, some of them "good" due to variation in testing.. Some "??" due to agendas of the regulators.
I think more attention needs to be addressed o the more conspicious discrepency.... Even when there is no other sample that tests negative, in all of these cases the ultimate and most scientific test is actually being performed. In ALL cases, by the time the regulators notify the dairy that they should stop distributing, all of the milk that was sampled has already been distributed. And additional tanks of milk distributed. And families (of all sorts ) have already drunk the milk. And often all of the distributed milk has been consumed. And I am unaware of ANY examples of ANYONE becoming sick! And I tend to watch these cases. So here is the real disconnect. Dairies are being forced/intimidated to stop distributing their milk because of a health risk, but there isn't any illness. This is what I am focusing on. Lots of possible explainations. Two I will suggest as starters. 1) the amount of pathogen in the milk is inadequate to cause illness (remember most people who get raw milk don't just drink one glass we all drink lots) 2) The "pathogen" detected is present but it isn't virulent. Lots of research showing that only SOME subtypes of the recognized pathogens account for the clinical cases. So where is the public health concern?
My experience with these anti-raw milk zealots is that when you disagree with them they don't like it. They consider their opinion the correct one and when their opinion is picked apart by the correct data they become angry and rude.
They then say how these farmers will be ligated out of existance. When they find out there is little or no chance of winning these meritless suits, that line will end.
You are right. It is about freedom of choice.
For those anti raw milk people out there you should know that you have already lost the battle. If you want to influence public health get on board and work with the farmers and those who want these products available. Stop the harassment and the repeating of the same old lies and misinformation.
That way we all win, especially the children who really need this life giving food.
Do you know if in this case, with a split sample, whether the same assay was used by the two labs?
I do not trust NY Ag and Markets. A few years back, I had done the NPIP (National Poultry Improvement Plan) for the birds I had, as I was starting to get out of state buyers. BIG MISTAKE!!!!
I had my chickens and such and was selling locally for 2 years before I joined this program, with absolutely no problems whatsoever. Within the SAME year I signed up for this program, most of my birds were stolen, and by people who knowe what they were taking.
If I had been having theft problems before, I would not think twice. But I just found it awfully coincidental that my problems started once I became involved in that program through ag and mkts.

Steelers' fan Admiral Greenert to be honored at gamePosted by on November 1, 2012 – 4:05 pm
Steelers' Nation is far reaching, with many of the team's biggest fans being those who serve in the military. Among those fans is Admiral Jonathan W. Greenert, the Chief of U.S. Naval Operations.
Greenert, along with Army Chief of Staff General Raymond T. Odierno, will be honored along with veterans and wounded warriors on the field pregame when the Steelers take on the New York Giants on Sunday at MetLife Stadium as a part of the NFL's "Salute to Service" campaign in conjunction with the upcoming Veteran's Day.
"It's everything to do this," said Greenert. "As a lifelong Steelers fan in Washington and the Navy, I follow them everywhere. I have all kinds of paraphernalia, a Troy Polamalu and Ben Roethlisberger jersey and many Terrible Towels. To be there in person is wonderful.
"But I get a two-for, I get to see sailors and our servicemen and women at the same time and thank both teams for what they do for our military members."
Greenert, who is originally from Butler, Pa., has been a Steelers fan since birth, something that just naturally happened in his family.
"What happens is right after we are baptized there is a blood transfusion of black and gold," said Greenert. "My dad followed the Steelers so I picked it up on television. Myron Cope became a voice I recognized. There are things you can remember, like the first step on the moon, unfortunately the assassination of (President) John F. Kennedy and the Immaculate Reception, when I was sitting in the kitchen huddled around the radio with my dad."
More recently he has had the opportunity to meet Steelers chairman and U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Dan Rooney, Sr., first in 2005 and then spending time with him when Navy played Notre Dame in Ireland this year.
"When I first met him it was a game in Philadelphia and we were walking outside the locker room and there was Mr. Rooney," said Greenert. "I introduced myself and he was so gracious thanking me for my service.
"Our paths have crossed a lot since then. Recently we went to Dublin and Mr. Rooney was the host. He is a magnificent representative for the Steelers and our country."
Greenert has seen firsthand what sports means to those who serve in the military, serving as a diversion and something that can lift the spirits of those who are deployed far from home.
"Having been deployed when you have Sunday come around and you have Armed Forces Network and they cover sports and you see people gather together it's great," said Greenert. "You have a team like the Steelers with a big following and you look at the person next to you and they are a Steelers fan and they are from all over the place. It's a way to gather together and talk about home while serving overseas. Franchises like the Steelers are a drawing card that pulls people together away from home.
"When I meet sailors I ask where you are from and talk about what fan they are. Word gets out that I am a Steelers fan and they will proudly say I am a Steelers fan. They will show me Terrible Towels, things like that. It's a lot of fun. It's a wonderful way to strike up a conversation and get a connection started."

I'm a retired sub sailor and it's great to read that the CNO is a stiller fan. I'm from Sharon, Pa. I was in Ireland on 9/11/12 and I was able to see the the ambassador speak on the local station about the 9/11 anniversary. Mr. Rooney was very eloquent and a great rep for the USA. Go Steelers!!

RWE Tower - Dortmund, Germany
Report: 2001
Construction period: 2003 - 2005
Design: Eckhard Gerber
Project director/Project manager: Jens Haake, Rolf Knie
Project team: Thomas Helms, Susanne Kreimeyer, Gerd Gröschl, Markus Petry, Nils Kummer, Juana Grunwald, Stefan Lemke, Hans-Christoph Bittner, Petra Luis, Holger Heltewig, Simone Saul, Keith Stoltenfeldt, Birgit Hassenteufel (LA) et al.
Client: DIAG GmbH & Co. KG II
Gross area: 27.300 m²
Volume: 103.000 m³
A solution to the hitherto unsatisfactory urban situation of the area situated between the train station and the city centre has been found with the construction of the 22 storey high building on Amiens Square, located in Dortmund's centre. The new composition, which includes two existing high rises, helps to contribute to the consolidation and vitalization of the surrounding area, while the lenticular floor plan and its diagonal position on the site help to better define the existing network of paths so that interesting urban situations are created.
A single storey structure emerges out of the lenticular volume on the ground floor encircling the tower. It houses ramps leading down to the underground garage and simultaneously creates space for stores and a café. To the northeast, on Amiens Square, it dissolves into a glazed canopy that serves to define the building's main entrance.
Because of the centrally located structural concrete core, which contains all vertical access elements and secondary rooms, all offices are column-free and situated on the façade and lit with daylight. The lenticular form, in contrast to an ellipse, allows for a pragmatic, near orthogonal spatial arrangement. Instead of a closed window front, individual windows, which can be opened in all offices, have been used, ensuring a pleasant interior atmosphere and a great level of transparency. These windows are not just a defining aspect of the economic and ecological energy concept, but also organize the curved façades, whose narrow pillars and low parapets are faced in polished black granite.
The top of the high rise is defined by an asymmetrical wedge with two inward sloping penthouse roof surfaces, the taller and more sloping of which is glazed. Under this glass roof the cafeteria is located with a room height of up to 17 metres. The tallest point of the upper curved façade is approximately 90 metres, with the addition of the antenna giving the building a total height of 100 metres.

The minor cost of covering tobacco cessation benefits seems insignificant when compared to the major financial burden that tobacco use places on businesses. As health care costs due to tobacco related illnesses increase, they erode employer profits, which in turn create a cycle of diminished health care coverage, salaries, and other benefits for employees.

text: Fully agreed. I guess it's different from my perspective as when I think of "gamers" I often think of those who participate in tournaments. When a chick openly labels themselves as a "gamer" (as AJ Lee has made known), I expect them to at least know the types of zombies from the Left 4 Dead series, the differences between Mass Effect and Halo (and not that "they are games about aliens"), and know more about the choices offered on a console outside of how many Sing Star, Rock Band, and Guitar Hero games there are. If their idea of being a "gamer" is to achieve level 12 on Farmville or whatever Facebook game of the month is being promoted, then they shouldn't openly attempt to label themselves as "gamers".

What motherboard do you use? I assume it's a dual socket. I really wish mine had more than 4 DIMM slots :-/
I use Windows as my host OS but run linux in a VM. I develop on both platforms. The main reason I need the RAM is because I work with some very large databases and I want most of the data loaded in memory rather than read from/written to my SSD
Intel DX79SI.
Just curious but what do you do with it? Hard to imagine most of that not sitting unused and wasted.
Lots of VMware virtual servers testing.
There are desktop motherboards that support 128GB of RAM, like the MSI Big Bang II.

Night at Theatre, Cocktails at Cupples Perks for DuBourg Society
|DuBourg Society members enjoy a cocktail reception at the Historic Samuel Cupples House before attending the SLU Theatre's presentation of Blithe Spirit. Submitted photo
The sounds of chatter and laughter filled the Samuel Cupples house as approximately150 DuBourg Society members and guests enjoyed a cocktail reception Friday evening prior to seeing Blithe Spirit, presented by Saint Louis University's Theatre Department.
"I've come to all the DuBourg theatre events," said Carol Figura, DuBourg member, who brought her daughter, Kerri Rowe. "Having a cocktail reception in Cupples prior to the play was definitely a draw because we love historic homes and I haven't been in this house since 1968 when it was the Campus Club."
This exclusive event was offered to Saint Louis University's DuBourg Society members, who annually contribute $2,500 or more within the fiscal year. The society honors and recognizes the generosity of the University's major benefactors.
For Barbara Bringham, she and her husband, David, enjoy coming to the theatre productions, along with most other SLU events.
"We come to almost everything," she said. "David loves to stay contacted to SLU."
Bringham also commented the two of them love the Cupples house.
"It is the best kept secret as far as historic houses in St. Louis," she remarked. "It's such a gem."
Near the end of the reception, Nancy Bell, assistant professor of theatre, addressed the crowd from the staircase.
"We are so excited to have all of you come to our performance," said Bell, who also directed the play. "It is so important for our students to have at least one audience of adults because it teaches them so much."
Blithe Spirit, a comedy written by Noël Coward, revolves around a ghostly love triangle. An ill-conceived cocktail party séance brings one man's ex-wife back from the dead, leaving the man having to deal with the revenge of his dead first wife and his current living wife.

More than 50 SLU faculty members turned out Jan. 13 for a day-long workshop about Ignatian pedagogy. The workshop, "Teaching at a Jesuit Institution: Informing Our Practice," offered an opportunity for faculty to deepen their understanding of Ignatian pedagogy and featured presentations by five SLU faculty members.
The morning began with a presentation by Fr. Steven Schoenig, S.J. (history) about the history of the Spiritual Exercises. Schoenig also explained the Exercises and shared some of his own experiences with them.
Darina Sargeant, Ph.D., PT (physical therapy and athletic training) explored the relationship between the Exercises and the five main elements of Ignatian pedagogy: context, experience, reflection, action, and evaluation.
In the afternoon, three SLU faculty presented about ways these five elements inform their own work in the classroom.
Ginge Kettenbach, Ph.D., PT (physical therapy and athletic training) described how the Ignatian pedagogy paradigm informs her teaching in the IPE 110 course.
Bryan Sokol, Ph.D., presented about the work he does in his child development course (including reflection and service learning), and Mark Wilson, M.F.A. (fine and performing arts) offered an interactive look at the role imagination can play in Ignatian teaching.
Faculty also were given an opportunity to work on their own courses, considering the Ignatian elements that already exist in their own teaching practices and working collaboratively to explore new ways to integrate Ignatian principles more intentionally in their teaching.
This is the second such workshop offered by the Reinert Center for Teaching Excellence, the Center for Service and Community Engagement, and the office of mission and ministry. A two-day version was offered last June.
Faculty who wish to learn more about Ignatian pedagogy may consult the Reinert CTE's website. They also may wish to attend the ongoing Brown-Bag series, "Conversations on Ignatian Pedagogy."
The series, which began last fall, will conclude with two conversations this spring on each end of the SLU campus.
Conversations on Ignatian Pedagogy: Action
Conversations on Ignatian Pedagogy: Evaluation
Conversations are open to all SLU teaching faculty.

what to buy
A pressure washer (also called a power washer) can be the perfect device for blasting through your outdoor cleaning chores and saving you the time and hard labor of scrubbing. It's far more effective than a garden hose on cars, boats, lawn furniture, play equipment, decks, masonry and siding. Some can even remove algae, mold, mildew and mulch stains. Pressure washers work by means of a pump powered by an electric motor or a gas engine -- so your work is mostly confined to pulling the trigger on the spray gun.
The best pressure washers use different spray tips or an adjustable wand. This enables you to get the right amount of water pressure for each job. The nozzle options should range from a fan-like spray that is easy on painted surfaces to a blast for scouring mold and grime. The type of pump is one indication of the pressure washer's build quality. Experts say triplex pumps are the best, lasting longer than axial cam or wobble pumps. Three measures indicate how powerful a pressure washer is: Pounds per square inch (psi) is the force of the water; gallons per minute (gpm) is the amount of water the unit uses; and cleaning power is the figure you reach when you multiple psi by gpm. Keep in mind, however, that a higher psi isn't always the best choice, as some surfaces and products can be damaged by high pressure. Experts recommend that you match the size of your unit to your outdoor cleaning tasks.
Pressure washers are affordable enough to own, so you'll have it when you need it. Years ago it was common for many homeowners to borrow a pressure washer or rent one for the day when it was time for spring cleaning. Manufacturers now offer many highly affordable consumer-grade models, making it a more popular product to own. Prices start as low as about $90 for an electric pressure washer and about $225 for gas models. More expensive models often use high-grade components for a longer life span, but reviewers say reliability and quality aren't always included with a high price tag. However, for heavier jobs, you'll want to buy the best model you can afford to avoid disappointment.
Gas pressure washers are the most powerful consumer-grade power washers. If you have some big jobs to do, a gas power washer may be a good investment. They are more expensive than electric pressure washers and you'll incur additional expenses because they need oil and gas. They're also noisier and not as easy to use. However, if you regularly rent pressure washers for things like power washing your entire house, a big deck, cement driveways or pool decks, or do a lot of paint prep, the unit will pay for itself very quickly. And you can work at your own pace, without the stress of a rental return hanging over your head.
Electric pressure washers are great to have around for everyday cleaning. They may not be able to blast stains off the driveway (although some can), but electric pressure washers are affordable, easy to use and are great for a wide variety of tasks. Many owners say they use them to clean the inside of their barbeque grills, remove rust and dirt from bikes, and even refresh dingy outdoor toys.
No matter what model you own or choose to buy, keep in mind that because of their ability to shoot out water in an intense and powerful stream, pressure washers can inflict injury. We read several reports of significant lacerations by owners who let their fingers get in the path of the stream. It goes without saying that users need to use great caution when operating a power washer -- and wear protective clothing and goggles as well.
And while we're on the subject of outdoor cleaning, now may be a good time to spruce up the look of your home in other ways as well. If painting is on your list of chores, be sure to check out our reports on exterior paint and interior paint. A pressure washer is a great tool for pre-paint prep!
ConsumerSearch editors scoured hundreds of reviews to find what owners and experts have to say about each unit's performance, features and ease of use. The results are our picks for the best electric and gas pressure washers, and the best budget picks as well -- so you can get the most for your cleaning dollar.

Cross-posted from my Forbes blog The New Persuaders:
Everyone in Silicon Valley wants to know what's coming next, and every year for the past 13 years, a panel of the most forward-thinking minds in technology and tech finance convenes here to provide a look at what innovations are likely to emerge in the next few years.
Last night it was time again for the Top 10 Tech Trends dinner, hosted by the Churchill Club, which puts on a bunch of Valley events with top tech folks every year. I wrote about last year's here as well.
This year, the 14th, the panel is especially venture capital-heavy, but these folks are also, to a person, heavyweights in the Valley, so their opinions carry special weight. On the panel: Kevin Efrusy, general partner at Accel Partners; Bing Gordon, investment partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers; Reid Hoffman, partner at Greylock and executive chairman and cofounder of LinkedIn; panel regular Steve Jurvetson, managing director of Draper Fisher Jurvetson; and Peter Thiel, president of Clarium Capital. Moderating the festivities in place of longtime emcee Tony Perkins, Churchill Club cofounder with Forbes Publisher Rich Karlgaard, are Forbes' Eric Savitz, San Francisco bureau chief for the magazine, and Managing Editor Bruce Upbin.
The panel portion of the dinner, which attracts several hundred people (you can watch it live here for a fee), starts at 7 p.m. Pacific at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara. The audience gets to vote–in past years, with red and green cards as well as electronic voting devices. This year, they'll be using a Twitter-based polling system. Panel members have similar red-green paddles they hold up. I'll post the highlights as they happen.
And we're underway. Eric and Bruce will describe each trend and then the owner of that trend, one of the panel members, will explain it.
1) Radical Globalization of Social Commerce: Efrusy explains that companies today will be instantly global, or they will fall behind those that aren't. For the previous Web generation, international was a distinct minority. Groupon, for example, was half international when it went public last year. If you want to be the leading global player, just leading the U.S. might not be enough. You can't wait to win the U.S. and then open an office.
The other panel members wave half-red, half-green panels. Gordon, who waved a red, says that's going to take awhile. Hoffman, also red, said the U.S. is still the most important. Thiel's in-between, I think, but because he thinks it's not very interesting. Jurvetson says it's true, but 12 years old. It's what every consumer Internet startup has been doing for 12 years. Thiel on second thought thinks it's a worthwhile rule to go international early to avoid local copycats.
The audience shows mostly greens, matched by about 70% supporting the trend on TwitPolls.

Being ignorant of someones beliefs because its a minority is ridiculous. Oh look more males on earth then females lets not sell dresses. More windows users then mac and linux users lets get rid of mac and linux. More people use old model ipods then the ipod touch lets discontinue it. Doing things just to suit the majority works out really bad. Were they really messing up the school that much for not being some mindless followers believing everything the school reads from a biased book from thousands of years ago?
Oh the humanity!

A week after being arrested on perjury and official misconduct charges, former Okaloosa County Commissioner James Campbell is back at work as Niceville's recreation director.
He said he has no plans to leave the job he has held for the past 36 years. Campbell and Niceville City Manager Lannie Corbin met Monday and agreed that he would return to work today.
"I'll be at work like normal," he said. "My employment is still my employment. I haven't been convicted of anything, and, hopefully, I won't be."
Campbell said he was encouraged that several employees, including Corbin, had offered to donate vacation and sick hours to him if he needed them in the future.
"I will continue on," he said. "I'll be back at work (Tuesday)."
The 64-year-old Campbell was arrested Sept. 17 and charged with four counts of perjury and four counts of official misconduct after a four-month investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
Campbell is accused of using his position as a county commissioner to solicit sponsorship donations for the Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival. Authorities also say he failed to report thousands of dollars he made in commissions on securing the sponsorships for the festival committee.
Under state law, county commissioners, among dozens of other elected officials, must report any source of income that exceeds $1,000 to the Florida Commission on Ethics.
Campbell said the charges are baseless.
"This is about nothing," he said. "This is about some paperwork or maybe some bad judgment. There was never any criminal intent."
But State Attorney Bill Eddins said Campbell broke the law when he solicited sponsorships from Northwest Florida Regional Airport and the tourist development department, which are county-run enterprises.
Corbin said last week that the Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival had the sponsorship arrangement with Campbell for at least 12 years. He said the festival committee paid Campbell a 20 percent commission on all the sponsorships he produced.
But Campbell's commissions exceeded 20 percent on two occasions, according to his FDLE arrest report.
In 2006, he received a payment of $1,750 for landing a $2,500 sponsorship from Hammock Bay Real Estate. In 2005, Campbell received two payments totaling $2,000 on a $6,666 sponsorship donated by Cellular South.
Campbell disputed the FDLE's dollar amounts on Monday.
"They got it wrong," he said, adding that his commissions from the Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival were 20 percent "to the dime."
FDLE spokesman Keith Kameg said the agency's numbers are correct.
"As far as the 20 percent, we're not talking about that," he said. "Our concern was the actual dollar amount."
Corbin could not be reached for comment Monday.
Campbell, who has served as a commissioner for eight years, was suspended by Gov. Rick Scott. He has only a few weeks remaining in his term before giving up his seat to incoming commissioner Kelly Windes.
Scott will make the final decision about whether to appoint someone to Campbell's seat ahead of schedule.
"Governor Scott is reviewing this seat and will make a decision in the near future," said Jackie Schutz, deputy press secretary for Scott.

Why I Teach
I do my best to engage my students by "doing," because this is really where the fun is. It is also where the deeper thinking and learning often happen — whether it's working out problems in the classroom, presenting and discussing papers, or getting their hands wet in the research lab.
I love watching my students grow — academically and personally — during their time at St. Edward's. Seeing them get inspired by learning, in turn, inspires me to be a better teacher.

Sa Pobla Festival Barcelona 2013
2nd January 2013
Come and enjoy the first traditional festival of the year in Barcelona! This year "Sa Pobla" festival starts with a lot of free things to do! Don't miss a minute! Come to Barcelona and do it with Be Hostels!
Every year during the last weekend of January, the funky neighborhood of Gràcia in Barcelona hosts an equally funky festival Sa Pobla. This popular festival honors Saint Anthony (Sant Antoni), the patron saint of animals. Mallorcan culture is also celebrated in the form of traditional foods (think tasty Sobrasada) and festivities. "Los Foguerons" (the bonfires) are perhaps the most famous part of the Sa Pobla festival. Gràcia's plazas fill with colourful processions and red devils.
Catalan festivals are not complete unless there is a correfoc (fire run). And if people wearing devil horns running through the streets with fireworks wasn't enough fire for one evening, you can find nine bonfires throughout Gràcia.
The most famous moment in festival is for bonfires, parades and giant dragons, which occur in many places in the district.
These open spaces and crowds, serving as theatrical platforms where street performers dressed in outlandish masks, create an atmosphere of magic and mystery, evoking the oldest traditions of the people of Mallorca and their deepest beliefs. Do not want to miss the shows in Plaça del Diamant, Virreina and Nord. In addition, there you have the pleasure of delighting your palate with a fabulous sobrasada, to try the unique taste of Majorcan food.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

By COLLEEN MCCARTHY
Over 250 Mississippi State University students went out in to the community yesterday to give back to the town the Bulldogs call home.
The annual Service DAWGS (Donating A Wonderful Gift of Service) Day helped kick off the new school year for both returning students and brand new freshmen.
"This the fourth year we have had Service DAWGS Day," Megan Thomas, assistant director for Service DAWGS Day said. "Each year, we have noticed the event continues to grow significantly. This year, we had about 250 students signed up one week before the event takes place - we have never had that type of student response so early."
The volunteers split up into groups, ranging from 5-50 people in each, and went to 24 different sites around Starkville, Oktibbeha County and the Golden Triangle area. The sites ranged from the Starkville Community Market to the Maroon Edition Habitat for Humanity House to the Palmer Home in Columbus to local schools.
"The students' tasks will vary according to the site he or she is assigned. Of course, at Habitat for Humanity, the students will be building a home for a family in the Starkville community," Thomas said. "At the Starkville Public Library, the students will be helping arrange and catalog books. Students will also be gardening, cleaning, picking up garbage, and sorting clothes at other various sites."
The volunteers all met up at Junction bright and early Tuesday morning before getting their job assignments and heading out to their respective sites.
Five volunteers stopped by the GoPlay playground at Henderson Ward Stewart to help out in the garden. The playground is a center for outdoor learning and activities at the two schools. The volunteers helped get the garden in order for the new school year.
"What we hoped to do was clean up our garden area that we started last year and we're transplanting plants that the children grew over the summer feeding program," Heather Carson, who helped coordinate the volunteers at the site said. "This whole area will be an outdoor classroom that the teachers can use."
At the Humane Society, the students spent the day walking the dogs, cleaning cats and working on the gardens in front of the building, which shelter manager Anita Howard said was a huge help.
"Volunteering has always been a part of my life and I am honored to be a part of this," Corie Stanford, who helped out at the shelter said.
The students spent all morning working on site and returned back to campus in the afternoon. As a reward for all their hard work, volunteers received a free pizza lunch on campus donated by CJ's Pizza, Papa John's, Pizza Hut, Little Ceasar's, Old Venice, and Domino's.
"Service DAWGS Day is a great opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to interact with one another while also giving back to the community. We realize the wonderful relationship that Starkville and MSU have together - we want to continue expanding on that and continue to exemplify just what Starkville really means to our university," Thomas said. "Service DAWGS Day is a wonderful learning opportunity for students to participate in before school even starts. They learn the importance of service, giving back, connecting with peers, and involvement within the campus and community."

Maybe you're looking for something a bit more extreme than Santa Cruz. Not everyone wants to surf balmy barrels in boardshorts. So for the wintry watermen, few trips are as appealing as the Canadian Maritimes. In the northeastern Atlantic, wedged between Maine and Newfoundland, Nova Scotia hosts heaps of cobblestone point breaks, not to mention countless mysto reefs and beachbreaks. Bucolic and rugged, it's no surf city. And that's a huge part of its charm. (The minute-long point rides don't hurt either.) Due to the steady influx of Americans in recent years, the otherwise friendly and welcoming Canadian locals have become slightly surly and protective. But if you visit this place, an unspoiled wilderness frontier with endless potential, you'll certainly understand why. Just be prepared to trudge through snow on the way to the icy lineup.
Water Temp: 35–40 degrees.
Consistency: Fairly regular due to winter nor'easters—as are the blizzards.
Crowds: Very light but with a hardcore local scene that deserves respect.
Local Scene: Happening college city in Halifax with historic maritime landmarks, and there're quite a few bars, too.
Watch Out For: Hypothermia. And hypothermia.
