I have a Champion Edition peach/light Leopard 175gram with a white stamp in excellent used condition that I am looking to sale for the sole purpose of moving up this Saturday from Recreationial Division to Advanced Masters Division. I guess this disc is up for sale from now until registration Saturday morning so I can make the difference up.
$20 bucks is what I need for this disc . I believe its worth more but I really need to move up so this idea is last minute.
This sounded like a better idea then a $15 sponsorship from a fellow disc golfer. I say all the rec division pitch in a dollar just to get me out of the Rec division sounds reasonable so I will entertain any sane offers
First come first serve Help a brother out!!

Baltimore, Maryland
Baltimore is an independent city and the largest city and cultural center of the U.S. state of Maryland. The city is located in central Maryland along the tidal portion of the Patapsco River, an arm of the Chesapeake Bay. Baltimore is sometimes referred to as Baltimore City in order to distinguish it from surrounding Baltimore County. Founded in 1729, Baltimore is a major U.S. seaport and is situated closer to major Midwestern markets than any other major seaport on the East Coast. Baltimore's Inner Harbor was once the second leading port of entry for immigrants to the United States and a major manufacturing center. The harbor is now home to the Harborplace, a shopping, entertainment, and tourist center, and the National Aquarium in Baltimore. After a decline in manufacturing industries, Baltimore shifted to a service sector-oriented economy.

In the previous tutorial we learned how to write, define, weave in and run an aspect. So if you have not read it yet, please do that first.
We also learned how to write and use before and after advice, which allowed us to define code blocks that does something before and after a specific action is triggered.
In this tutorial we will learn how to make use of one of the most powerful constructs in AOP; the around advice. We will implement a little around advice that hijacks the
HelloWorld.greet() to make the traditional greeting a bit more interesting.
The Test Application
Here is the Hello World application for this tutorial.
It is important to notice that the HelloWorld application is changed some to make this tutorial more relevant.
The HelloWorld2.greet() method now returns a greeting message while in the previous tutorial, the HelloWorld.greet() was simply printing out the message directly.
It is a standard Java application and can be compiled with
javac -d target HelloWorld2.java.
However this application is indeed a bit boring and we are all pretty tired of it. So let's try to make it a bit more interesting, let's hijack the
HelloWorld2.greet() method.
Writing and defining the Aspect
To be able to hijack the
greet() method we need to make use of the around advice construct.
The around advice can be seen as being invoked "around" or "instead of" the the actual method invocation (can be any well-defined action, aka join point), "intercepting" the invocation. Basically it allows us to replace the regular code and define our own code that runs instead of the regular code.
But the key point is that we also have the "magic" method
proceed() which allows us to proceed with the invocation and trigger the action that we have just replaced.
Let's take a look at some code to make less abstract:
In this code we have an advice method called
yellifyier, which we define (using annotations) as being an around advice. What this method does is first invoke the original
greet() method (which we have intercepted using the
yellifyier around advice) using the "magic" method
JoinPoint.proceed(). This method returns the result from the original method invocation. In this case the
"Hello World!" string. So what we then do is making the Hello World application yell the greeting. (Well don't know if it was that much more fun.)
In the
Around annotation we also bind the advice to a specific join point, in this case an anonymous one that picks out the
HelloWorld2.greet() method.
For more information about the annotation and XML definition, pointcut patterns etc. see the online documentation.
We also have to provide a tiny XML deployment descriptor (in this example called
aop.xml) to tell the AspectWerkz system which Java classes it should treat and load as aspects:
Weaving and running the Aspect
After adding annotations you need to run a special AspectWerkz tool. This is done after compiling your aspect class files, (i.e. after running
javac). The tool, known as the
AnnotationC compiler, can be invoked as follows, passing in the source directory (
.), and the class directory (
For AspectWerkz 1.0 final:
More information on the
AnnotationC compiler can be found here.
Now we are ready to run the weave in our aspect and run the Hello World application. This is done using the
aspectwerkz command line tool:
See the previous Hello World tutorial on the online documentation for details.
This produces the expected output:
and as you can see, the greeting is now yelled out.
The key points we are trying to illustrate here is that:
- the
HelloWorld2application is completely oblivious of the fact that it is actually yelling out the greeting
- the
yellifieradvice implementation is generic and can be used to yell out output captured from any method (that does not return void).
However, you might have noticed that the definition (in the aspect annotation) is not generic but coupled to the
HelloWorld2 application. We can easily loosen up this strong coupling and make the aspect completely reusable. For more information about that, read the next tutorial.
5 Comments
To compile, method signature of yellifyier needs to declare the thowing of Throwable.
For AnnotationC compiler to work properly with aspectwerkz-2.0.RC1 I made
following two changes.
1> Added ant-1.5.2.jar in classpath.
2> used -src and -classes from command line
So, on my windows system AnnotationC command looks something like this
java -cp %ASPECTWERKZ_HOME%\lib\aspectwerkz-2.0.RC1.jar;%ASPECTWERKZ_HOME%\lib\ant-1.5.2.jar org.codehaus.aspectwerkz.annotation.AnnotationC -src . -classes target
If classes are not compiled with -g option weaver throws following errors
WARNING: unable to register advice: Could not access source information for meth
od testAOP.HelloWorldHijacker.yellifyier(Lorg/codehaus/aspectwerkz/joinpoint/Joi
nPoint;)Ljava/lang/Object;. Compile aspects with javac -g.
Hello World!
Do I need to compile classes with -g option ?
if instead of annotations can we do it with xml?
i tried doing it with xml..but the weaving was not done..
i think there must be some problem with the syntax ....can u look into the matter and reply with the correct xml file.
This is the file i made..but the results was not correct.
<system id="AspectWerkzExample">
<package name="testAOP">
<aspect class="HelloWorldHijacker"/>
<pointcut name="greetMethod" expression="execution(* testAOP.HelloWorld2.greet(..))"/>
<advice name="aroundgreeting" type="around" bind-to="greetMethod"/>
can anyone help me.............piyush
Hi, the correct XML would be
<system id="AspectWerkzExample">
<package name="testAOP">
<aspect class="HelloWorldHijacker">
<pointcut name="greetMethod" expression="execution(* testAOP.HelloWorld2.greet(..))"/>
<advice name="yellyfier" type="around" bind-to="greetMethod"/>
The advice name must match the method in the aspect clas

Animal experiments can be criticised in a number of respects:
Because animals do not get many of the diseases humans do, such as heart disease, many types of cancer, HIV, Parkinson's disease, or schizophrenia, these have to be artificially induced. To mimic the human disease researchers inject animal with poisons, destroy parts of their brains, put them in stressful situations, implant human cells and tissue into their bodies or genetically engineer them to have human genes. The resulting 'animal models' may only superficially have the same disease as humans, increasing the risk that the wrong assumptions about cause and treatments are made. Add to this the inescapable differences in physiology between human and other animals, and the chances that these 'animal models' predict accurately what might happen to a human patient are very small.
For example, Fran Visco, founder of the National Breast Cancer Coalition said, "Animals don't reflect the reality of cancer in humans. We cure cancer in animals all the time, but not in people". (We fought cancer…And cancer won. Newsweek, Sep 5, 2008).
Due to the high variability of the results between sexes and strains of animal and laboratories, the high doses used, high stress levels and poor methodology, in addition to species differences, it is not surprising that animal tests do not appear to accurately predict human effects. Indeed, if you evaluate these experiments it is fair to say that overall animal tests are predictive of human reactions less than half the time. You might as well pay someone to sit in a room and toss a coin. The few studies that have been done to look at how predictive animal tests are of human effects have been damning (see Animal Testing on Trial).
"Currently, nine out of ten experimental drugs fail in clinical studies because we cannot accurately predict how they will behave in people based on laboratory and animal studies." (Mike Leavitt, Health and Human Services Secretary, Food and Drug Administration Press Release Jan 12th 2006)
Because animal experiments do not provide definitive data about human responses, scientists, officials and companies can and do dispute their relevance when it suits them to do so. For example agricultural biotechnology giant Monsanto has recently disputed a rat experiment that suggested a link between their genetically modified (GM) maize and weed killer and cancer, claiming; "the study does not meet minimum acceptable standards for this type of scientific research" (The Guardian 28/09/12).
Sadly, because of inherent doubts about the validity of animal tests, experiments are often repeated by other researchers or companies in order to determine 'once and for all' if their ideas are correct. Animal tests exacerbated years of dialogue and debate (and no action) on substances such as asbestos, smoking, saccharin and bisphenol A. Fears about nanoparticles, GM food, and endocrine disrupters are currently being used to justify animal tests but sadly it is unlikely that until adverse effects are seen in humans real governmental action will be taken.
Due to the lack of predictability of animal tests and sheer number of tests that are conducted, the entire process is extremely ineffective, wasteful and expensive. Despite considerable effort over many decades creating 'animal models' of conditions like stroke, Alzheimer's, HIV, Type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis, we do not yet have reliable and effective treatments. And, despite the scientific community using over 115 million animals globally every year, the main drug regulator, the FDA, approved only 35 new medicines in 2012. (Food and Drug Administration USA. FY 2012 Innovative Drug Approvals - Report. December 2012). Reliance on such an inefficient system would not be tolerated in other sectors of professional business.
Drug development today is concentrated on highly targeted biological, cell and gene-based therapies. The differences between species at these levels make it even more difficult and dangerous to use animals to predict human outcomes. For example, in 2006 volunteers testing a novel monoclonal antibody treatment (TGN1412) at Northwick Park Hospital suffered a severe allergic reaction and nearly died. Tests on monkeys at 500 times the dose given to the volunteers totally failed to predict the severe side effects. Laboratory tests not using animals that were performed immediately after the event could have actually predicted the effects. (Duff, G.W. (2006) Expert Group on Phase One Clinical Trials: Independent report to the Secretary of State for Health. 7 December 2006. The Stationery Office; London UK. P.65).
We need to start using 21st century tests for 21st century medicines.
"These types of drugs [biologicals] make up more than 50% of new drug applications. We can't use toxicology that is 60 years old." - Professor Thomas Hartung, former head of the European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods, quoted in Nature 2006,440, 856 (following the trial disaster).
Individual animal tests can take many years and cost thousands of pounds. For example the rodent carcinogenicity test to predict if a chemical will cause cancer is not only extremely unreliable but takes two years to complete and one million Euros to perform. (Which drugs cause cancer? British Medical Journal 2005, 19: 97-104).
Animal experiments have been used for hundreds of years and it's time to move on. Whenever and wherever resources are ploughed into developing non-animal techniques, quicker, more reliable and cheaper tests result. We need more money, time and resources devoted to this. For more information see Alternatives to Animals.

HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) - Convicted killer Preston Hughes III proclaimed his innocence as he was executed Thursday for the fatal stabbing of a 3-year-old Texas boy and the child's teenage cousin who uttered her attacker's first name to police in her dying breaths.
Hughes long had contended he wasn't responsible for the slayings of Shandra Charles, 15, and her cousin Marcell Taylor 24 years ago in Houston, and that police had planted evidence and coerced his confessions.
The condemned prisoner's mother sobbed and wailed as she witnessed the lethal injection. Hughes' sister was at her side.
"You know I'm innocent and I love you both," Hughes, 46, said as his mother cried loudly. "Please continue to fight for my innocence even though I'm gone.
"Give everybody my love."
He took several deep breaths and then stopped moving. His mother, seated in a chair near the death chamber window, cried out: "My baby ... I haven't touched my child in 23 years."
She became more composed in the minutes after it was apparent he was unconscious.
Hughes was pronounced dead at 7:52 p.m. CST, 15 minutes after the lethal drug began flowing into his arms. No one representing his victims witnessed the punishment.
Hughes became the 15th Texas prisoner executed this year and the second in as many nights. On Wednesday, Ramon Hernandez, 41, was executed for the rape, robbery and murder of a San Antonio woman abducted from a bus stop in 2001.
The September 1988 attack on the young cousins Hughes was convicted of killing happened in a field behind a Houston apartment complex where Hughes lived. A man walking along a trail found Charles and called police. Officers found her 3-year-old cousin already dead from a stab wound that passed completely through his neck.
Charles was still alive but severely injured with knife wounds to her neck and chest, police said. When an officer asked who was responsible for the attack, she gave a name, "Preston," and said he tried to rape her. She died moments later.
Authorities went to the nearby apartments and found Hughes, the only resident with the first name of Preston. He already was on probation for a conviction of sexual assault on a child and denied any role in the stabbings.
Hughes' execution came after he lost multiple appeals in courts to block it. Two of them _ filed by attorney Patrick McCann, who Hughes unsuccessfully sought to fire _ failed at the U.S. Supreme Court.
Other court actions were filed on the inmate's behalf by a death penalty opponent in Houston. They were denied in the courts or could not halt the punishment, attorneys said. One of them, seeking a retesting of DNA evidence that tied Hughes to the slayings, delayed his execution for more than an hour before it was rejected by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.
In one Supreme Court appeal, McCann said instructions to jurors deciding Hughes' punishment were not adequate. In another, the attorney contended new evidence showed Hughes was sexually abused as a child and a jury should be allowed to consider that at a new punishment trial.
Ellis McCullough, one of Hughes' trial lawyers, said this week he was convinced no evidence was planted or mishandled.
He said Hughes, brought to a police station for interviews in the early morning hours after the slayings, made phone calls from the police interrogation room to acquaintances, including his probation officer, that "were pretty devastating taken as a whole."
Evidence examined for DNA testing after his conviction and at his request found traces of Charles' blood on Hughes' clothing. At his trial, prosecutors showed Charles' glasses were found on a couch in his apartment. Hughes, who knew Charles through a friend, said police took the evidence from the crime scene, planted it in his apartment, illegally searched the place, coerced his confessions and copied his signature to them from another document.
"The fact is I didn't kill anyone," he told The Associated Press last month, speaking from a small visiting cage outside death row.
Hughes also denied the sexual assault conviction that resulted in his probation.
"I didn't know she was 13 at the time," he told the AP of the victim in that case. "I was led to believe she was 17."
Hughes moved to Houston in 1983 from his native Buffalo, N.Y., where a rape charge against him was dismissed when the victim failed to appear in court.
He testified at his capital murder trial that he pulled a knife on "a guy who came up to me from behind" and "stuck him twice" but denied it was the 3-year-old boy or Charles.
"I didn't stab anybody," he said. "Stabbing and stuck is two different things."

OXFORD, Ohio –The Miami University women's basketball team was able to close to within four with six minutes to go in the second half, but was unable to complete the comeback as Buffalo pulled away for a 74-61 victory on Saturday. The RedHawks fall to 7-20 overall and 3-13 in the Mid-American Conference. The Bulls improve to 16-11 overall and 9-7 in the MAC.
The game was Miami's Think Pink game, and all proceeds from the game will go to support local breast cancer survivors via Luna Cares.
Freshman guard Jillian Spurlock and senior guard Hannah Robertson helped spark the Miami comeback in the second half, as the 'Hawks were down by as many as 20 points in the first half. Spurlock finished with a team-high 19 points, 17 of which came after halftime, on 8-for-12 shooting. She also had five rebounds and one steal in 24 minutes of action. Hannah Robertson contributed 18 points on 7-for-12 shooting.
A fast paced start to the contest saw a combined 33 points scored in the first 6:30 minutes. After Buffalo jumped to a 7-2 advantage, jumpers by Spurlock and sophomore forward Hannah McCue cut the deficit to one. The Bulls pushed the lead back to seven at 15-8, but senior guard Haley Robertson answered with a three-pointer. After the teams traded buckets, a three-pointer by UB gave it a 20-13 lead at the 13:28 mark.
The RedHawks went cold as they were unable hit a shot from the field over a 10 minute period. During that time frame, the Bulls went on a 17-4 run to build a 34-17 lead. Hannah Robertson ended the run with a jump shot, but UB scored the next five to build its biggest advantage at 39-19 with 2:32 to go.
A three-pointer from McCue began the comeback attempt. Hannah Robertson followed with a old-fashioned three-point play, while freshman forward Nicole Anderson knocked down a pair of field goals as Miami closed the half on an 8-2 run to pull within 14 at 41-27 going into the break.
The RedHawks shot 9-for-29 (31.0 percent) during the first half, while the Bulls were 15-for-33 (45.5 percent). Hannah Robertson led Miami with nine points.
Spurlock scored seven straight points for the RedHawks as Miami opened the second half on a 7-4 run. Buffalo pushed the lead back to 17 at 51-34, but back-to-back layups by Hannah Robertson made it a 13 point game. Neither team could score over the next couple of minutes until layups from Hannah Robertson and Spurlock made it 51-42 with 10:26 to go.
The teams traded buckets over the next few minutes. With Buffalo in front, 59-48, two free throws by Anderson began Miami's final comeback attempt. Spurlock drained a pair of free throws, while Hannah Robertson also hit one. Spurlock followed with a jumper that made it a four-point game at 59-55 with 5:58 remaining.
Miami's shot went cold as the Bulls scored the next eight points to make it a double-digit lead once again at 67-55. Spurlock answered with back-to-back jumpers to make it an eight-point game with 2:13 to go, but a three-pointer as the shot clock was expiring by UB put the game away. Buffalo hit its free throws down the stretch to finish off the 74-61 win.
After shooting much better in the second half, Miami finished the game 21-for-56 (37.5 percent) from the field. The RedHawks were 16-for-19 (84.2 percent) from the free throw line. McCue scored seven for MU, while senior center Kelsey Simon contributed six. Anderson finished with a career-high tying four assists. Buffalo was led by Kristen Sharkey with 22 points.
The RedHawks return to action on Wednesday when they host MAC-leading Bowling Green at noon. That contest is the third annual Goals for Life game, and will see nearly 800 students from Talawanda Middle School in attendance. Tim Bray has the call and it can be seen live on Miami All-Access for those who have a subscription.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JQ1958 from Great Product The faucet is beautiful and it works great. Service was perfect and the price was too. I will be back!

Rated 1 out of 5 by DavidJ from Costly BAD experience with Kohler... Bought this very expensive faucet, my contractor installed and it was a faulty faucet. Faucet Direct was great and got me a new faucet quickly and did a great job. However... I had to understandably pay for the faucet to be installed twice to the tune of $175 each time. Kohler's fault for sending a bad faucet not Faucet Direct. I have Kohler products in my home but will consider other manufacturers in the future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ArlingtonVa from handles are fab! The height of the curved neck spigot provides ample room with a 7 1/2" depth sink that works out to an 8" depth with under the counter mount. The wing handles are very easy to use, especially if you have arthritis or often have hands covered in dough. The mistake I made was to order a faucet without a sprayer (because I already had a spray). Turns out that the faucet with a sprayer has a connection for the spray hose that is part of the faucet hardware under the counter. I thought the spray hose intersected the water line. The chrome finish is fine with the satin stainless steel sink. The single flange above the counter provides ample support and a solid "connection." The photo supplied by Kohler for some of the finishes is actually the faucet for the bar sink -- the arc and height are not as ample as for the kitchen sink.

First of two parts
We can be like Piers Morgan on CNN and yell at one another about gun control or we can learn and figure out this conundrum together.
After sitting down in December with the family of one of the victims in Orange County's worst mass killing, I visit a shooting range deep in the San Gabriel Mountains.
Like a majority of Americans after the deaths in Newtown, Conn., I want change. But the more I learn, the more difficult it becomes to figure out exactly what that change should be.
Before I can say, "one Mississippi," I squeeze off three rounds from a .45-caliber, semi-automatic pistol. Three nearly half-inch holes instantly appear in the cardboard torso of a "bad guy."
Thirty-two people – the largest class ever taught by NRA board member and Placentia resident TJ Johnston – shoot or wait to shoot. They are about evenly divided between men and women, and include an auto mechanic, a computer expert, a lawyer, a doctor.
As my bullets kick up puffs of dirt in the rock- and chaparral-covered rise behind the targets, gunfire echoes throughout Burro Canyon Shooting Park. Like the diverse crowd, the nonstop noise reflects the complexity of our nation's debate over gun control.
On the range next to us, there is the unmistakable sound of automatic weapons. An expert tells me one gun is a .223, otherwise known as an AR-15. Yes, that's the gun used in several mass shootings and on President Obama's list to ban.
Unlike the semi-automatic weapon used in Newtown, this automatic fires 13 rounds a second. You can't legally buy it in California, but under certain conditions you can own and shoot one, and that stuns me.
As I load a gun magazine for R. Claire Friend, a Newport Beach psychiatrist, Friend tells me the gun debate isn't about guns, "It's about liberty."
It's 7 a.m. on a recent Saturday – days before a former police officer is suspected of killing a couple in Irvine and shooting at several officers, wounding two and killing one.
There is standing room only at Johnston's AllSafe Defense Systems class in Orange. He asks the students to say why they're here – and why now.
Nearly all talk about protection. "I have a wife and two daughters and no defense in the house."
"I'm terrified of someone breaking into our home."

Western Province Director of Rugby Nick Mallett is in Fiji on a shopping expedition, confident of luring talented Fijian players to Cape Town.
Mallett confirmed to the Fiji Times that the province was looking at six players, between the age of 17 and 20, to relocate to the Western Province Academy and hopefully to play for Western Province, the Stormers and Springboks.
The Fijian factor is something Mallett has focused on for the past year and he also believes that if Auckland and the like can lure Fijian, Tongan and Samoan players then why can't Cape Town?
It is an action that will no doubt be seen negatively by some, but it is one that should be applauded. It is long overdue and finally someone has done more than talk about it.
Australia and New Zealand have for years tapped into the Island resources, why not South Africa?
Mallett returns to South Africa at the weekend and he expressed confidence that there was enough talent to identify six promising players, who in three to five years could be playing for the Boks.

The Williams High School girls' soccer team made it through a somewhat sloppy first half with a three-goal lead against Southern Lee in a first round game of the Class 3-A state playoffs Wednesday night.
The Bulldogs discussed a few refining points during halftime, convinced the second 40 minutes would be produce sharper play.
But weather denied Williams the chance to iron out its issues.
Heavy rain and thunderstorms rolled into the area before the teams could start the second half and the game was called with host Williams winning 4-1.
Williams advances to a second-round matchup at Union Pines, which defeated Ledford 3-1 on Wednesday.
"The more we communicate, the better it looks. We didn't do that as much," said Williams midfielder Kelsi Peters. "That was what we were going to work on in the second half …"
Peters started the scoring with a right-footed blast 55 seconds into the game to stake the Bulldogs (17-2) to an early lead. When Mallory Bartles wired a penalty kick to the top shelf a little less than six minutes later, it looked like Williams was on the way to another blowout victory.
But Southern Lee (9-8-1) muscled its way back into the game, scoring a goal at the 19:51 mark on an impressive steal and shot by Vicky Monroy.
"Really you have to make your decision before you receive the ball, what you're going to do with it," said Williams coach Dennis Deutschle. "We were receiving it, then taking a split second to decide what to do with it and by that time they were on us.
"I told them before the game this team is a hustling team, they've always been. They will shut you down very quickly."
Margaret Powell answered Southern Lee's only goal a minute later and Macy Lewis added a goal before the end of the first half.
Still, the Bulldogs gathered on the field for halftime with a few things to correct in the second half.
"It started out really good and then as we progressed I feel like we took advantage of thinking they were going to be an easy team," Peters said. "I think that our second half would have been a lot better because at halftime we talked about what we needed to do. In the first half, we could have done better, but we did well."
Wednesday hardly marks the first time the Bulldogs haven't played a full game. Williams won eight games this season that were ended because of the nine-goal mercy rule.
"Without timeouts in soccer, the only time you can fix things in soccer is at halftime — the major things that you need to work on," Deutschle said. "That's where not playing the second half, you don't know if you've fixed them. You kind of leave with a bad taste in your mouth without being able to fix things."
For Deutschle, Wednesday's game wasn't necessarily a case of poor play for his team. He just wanted to see a faster pace.
"It wasn't bad. It's just not what we'd like to see them do," Deutschle said. "That's what we told them at halftime, we said 'You're playing well skill-wise, technically. But we're just not quick enough.' "
Based on what figures to be a soggy field for practices before the next round, Williams could move its practices to the sloping front lawn of the school.
It might end up serving the Bulldogs well for what they needed to work on during the second half of Wednesday's game.
"We just play small-sided games, it's quicker, less players, more touches and that's about all you can do," Deutschle said.

Comments On Apr 08, 2015:I've had many of the knobs rip off in rocky terrain. And on both my YZ125 & YZ250, the tire come apart and exposed the tube underneath. If you are going to ride Sandy or loamy MX tracks it's a good value and will hold up well but not great for off-road with lots of rocks and hard pack.

AUBURN, Ala. — Nothing lasts forever.
This holds true for anything in life, and War Eagle Extra is no exception. The article you are reading is the final piece of content that will be posted to this blog. Have no fear, though. War Eagle Extra isn't going away — it's just moving. Yes, five years after staking out on its own, War Eagle Extra is being integrated back into the Ledger-Enquirer's homepage.
It's been quite a run, comprising five different beat writers (David Ching, Andy Bitter, Joel Erickson, Aaron Brenner and myself) and totaling close to 4,800 posts. Auburn is now working on its third different football coach during that span, which began in the final season of the Tommy Tuberville era, with a national title and a fired coach (Gene Chizik) bridging the gap to current head man Gus Malzahn.
Aside from the pages looking slightly different, you shouldn't notice any variation as readers. The content won't change. You'll still be able to read the notebooks, features and other articles about Auburn's football team as well as watch video of their interviews.
Don't view this as an end as much as a new beginning.
In an ode to the blog's past, I'm reminded how War Eagle Extra's first reporter, Ching, ended his introductory post: "This should be a lot of fun…"

Dear Lifehacker,
I'm in the market for a new pair of headphones, and I've been eyeballing the Beats By Dre Studios. I like a lot of bass in my music, but some people tell me they suck and are overpriced. Are they actually horrible, or are these people just snobby audiophiles who like to hate on popular headphones? Will I notice a difference?
Bickering Over Beats
Blast from the past is a weekly feature at Lifehacker in which we revive old, but still relevant, posts for your reading and hacking pleasure. This post isn't very old—it was originally published in January—but with Apple's purchase of Beats, everyone seems to be asking this question again, so we thought it worth revisiting.
Dear Bickering,
People have been asking us this question for years, so we've decided it's time to settle this once and for all.
As snobby as (some) audiophiles may seem, they're right on this one: Beats are...not great. Not only are they not worth their price, there are a lot of headphones that will give you better sound—with lots of bass—for less. Here's the issue surrounding these fashionable cans, and what we recommend looking at instead.
The Problem With Beats
I tried Beats years ago, before my foray into headphones, and I thought they sounded awesome. Since then, I've tried numerous other headphones, and assumed that people hated Beats just because it was fashionable to do so. I assumed they were probably okay quality, but just overpriced due to the brand name. I recently tried a pair of Beats Studios again, and was shocked to find that I was wrong: they really aren't very good.
The problem isn't that the Beats have too much bass. It's that they have too much low quality bass, and that their mids and treble are even worse. If you want to hear what Beats sound like, pull up your equalizer and ram the midbass frequencies up a bit. There's not nearly enough definition to make the bass sound good, it's just...loud and boomy. Plus, it drowns out nearly everything else in the music—which is probably okay, because the treble and mids sound like they're coming from inside a well. The Pro and Executive lines are supposed to be somewhat better than the Studios and Solos (I haven't tried them myself), but are still more expensive than they should be.
Many audiophiles will tell you that you "shouldn't" be using a headphone with such emphasized bass. In my opinion, that's bull. Listen to whatever sounds good to you. But even if Beats sound good to you now, you'll be shocked when you hear something more high quality—for less money.
That's right. We don't have to tell you that Beats are overpriced. When you buy a pair of Beats, you're paying for style and branding. If that's what you want, then go for it—we have no vested interest in what you wear on your head. But if you're looking for awesome sound, we have some headphones you might like better.
Bass-Heavy Alternatives to Beats
So what should you buy instead? If you search around the internet, you'll find a lot of articles recommending a bunch of random high-end headphones, but we know that's not what you want. You're looking for something specific: bass, and lots of it. You probably listen to a lot of hip hop or electronic music, and bass-heavy cans are going to make it sound awesome. Some of these headphones may be good for rock and pop, too, but those genres usually excel with a more balanced headphone.
Here are a few recommendations for bass-heavy Beats alternatives:
- Denon AH-D600 ($268 on Amazon): In my opinion, these are the ultimate Beats alternatives. They're a little less portable and they don't have active noise cancellation, but they have some serious, high quality bass slam. It drowns out the mids a tad, but overall the rest of the sound is much clearer and more balanced than Beats'. All that for $30 less than the Beats Studios.
- V-Moda Crossfade M-100 ($299 on Amazon, shown above): These are the only headphones on the list that I've never heard, but word on the street is they're the other ultimate Beats replacements—and for around the same price as the Beats Studios. They are much more portable than the Denons, so if that's important to you, they're worth looking at.
- Audio Technica ATH-M50 ($149 on Amazon): Audio Technica's insanely popular M50s are not quite as bassy as the others on this list, but still have a but of extra punch in the lower end. Their higher end is also a tad brighter. This would probably be a good headphone if you listen to genres other than just rap or electronic.
- Shure SRH750DJ ($149 on Amazon): Not quite as popular as either the above contenders, the SRH750DJ has some really nice bass boost that doesn't drown out the mids quite as much. Treble suffers slightly, and they aren't the most comfortable things in the world, but they're worthy of their small but loyal fanbase.
- Ultrasone HFI-580 ($183 on Amazon): Like the M50s, most of the Ultrasone line has a nice bass boost, but the treble tends to be on the brighter side (even brighter than the M50s, in my experience). Check out the 780s ($234 on Amazon) if you're willing to spend a bit more.
These are far from the only bassy headphones out there, but if you're considering Beats, these are some of the most oft-recommended replacements at a few different price points. I highly recommend you listen to a few before you run off and buy one (as my impressions and tastes will differ from yours), and you should also check out this giant thread at Head-Fi which has a ton of information on bass-heavy cans. And, of course, check out our headphone buying guide for other tips and info if you don't have a lot of experience with headphones. If you're looking for something on the cheaper end of the spectrum, check out our list of the best $20 headphones, too.

Comments about Earthies Seria (Women's):
I usually wear a size 8. I ordered these in a 8. I have an high arch and these are made for high arches. However the arch was not hitting right where my arch was so I sent them back and ordered a size 7-1/2. It fit great and hit my arch just right. It was not small. I love them they are very comfortable. I also can not wear a high heels to long but these are really comfortable and it says they are 3inches high, really it is less because there is a little bit of a platform under the toe area.

Like Pit bulls?
You sir are an idiot.
Over the years many different breeds of dog have been vilified.
What do you want to do, eliminate all breeds or all dogs?
Nice article and pictures, of a variety of mainly mixed or non-APBT/AST/SBT dogs people call 'pit bulls'. Ours is among them, a Dogo Argentino mix (like the all white dog in one of the pictures) but people call her a 'pit bull' and we've no objection, all of us 'looks like a pit bull' owners are in the same boat and we gain nothing by trying to say 'oh my dog's not one of those!', IMO. But ours anyway fits the *accurate* typical profile: she tends toward aggression with most other animals and that requires careful management. She's totally benign to people in any circumstance I've seen over several years. And she lives to be the 'family dog'. It's like she has a clipboard with a schedule, the way she'll rotate whose lap she plops down in (at 55lbs) or who she'll bring a toy to for play, so no one is ever neglected. And she's a really funny goof ball at home. We love her more than words can say. And all it took was giving her a break and taking her from the shelter.June 13 2013 at 2:48 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
I live in the UK and see these 'pit bull' type animals frequently. I admit I use the term with little knowledge. I bring it up because in my neck of the woods they're seen as a 'hard' type of dog. The hard lads want to portray a certain 'don't mess' image and this dog type helps. I've never seen a female walking this type of dog. I know they exist, of course. I really feel for the genuine lovers of the breed as in reality, around here, they are frowned upon in a big way.
It is the owner, not the dog. It makes sense that this type of dog has the reputation it does because if it's the owner, it all makes sense. If you are a genuine lover of the breed and don't need the 'I'm hard' image then you suffer because of insecure idiots. Perhaps there should be some kind of ownership requirement? What do you all think of this, please?
I'm living in the UK and have seen many types of 'pit bull' dogs on the streets. Please be aware that I admit fully to use the term 'pit bull' with little knowledge. What I do have some idea on is the type of person (around here) that purchases these animals. 'Pit bulls' are seen as a 'hard' dog and the 'hard' lads want to be seen with them. Not once have I ever seen a female walking with one, ever. I'm simply passing comment that it's an image thing in my neck of the woods. That's a very sad thing indeed and I've got to say that I feel for the owners of these types of animals that are true lovers of the breed. I know that none live around here, it's all for show, nothing more...June 03 2013 at 6:14 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

If you feel that Pit Bulls should be banned, then maybe you should ban all the little dogs that have been rated with higher rates of attack then pit bulls. Yes, Pit bulls are used as fighting dogs and have killed people, but that isn't the dogs fault. That is the fault of the owner who shouldn't have had the dog in the first place because they didn't know how to take care of it. Little dogs, they are just aggressive and yappy and attack you if you look at it wrong. Just because they are small doesn't mean they are safe!May 30 2013 at 3:48 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
My friend loves pits and always has a Pit Bull. However, when visitors come, he's in a room, with a closed door. Doesn't mean she doesn't love him, just means she doesn't want to take a chance. She says, he's a nervous dog. She also means, he's not comfortable around people and she the wiser for taking the precautions.May 07 2013 at 12:11 AM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down Reply
tiger, I'm actually in agreement that it's more the genetics than the owner. And, a more recent genetic evolution, breeding fiercer dogs, so no argument there.May 07 2013 at 12:09 AM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down Reply
To Jayme. I can't seem to reply on the reply section, so here goes. No, I don't know the statistic you're quoting, that Goldens bite more than Pits. You reply to me was somewhat insulting, so maybe I'll go again with: It's not the breed, it's the owner. Maybe Golden owners are nicer than Pit Bull owners. There must be a reason they chose to ban the dog in France and some other countries. It wasn't as though they arbitrarily decided to ban Pit Bulls because they didn't like the way they looked. They had statistics to back up their position. Please send me a link to your statistic of Goldens biting more than Pits.May 07 2013 at 12:02 AM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down Reply

A Phase III Trial of Adjuvant Chemotherapy as Primary Treatment for Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer Compared to Chemoradiation Alone: The Outback Trial
What is the purpose of this trial?
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, carboplatin, and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. External radiation therapy uses high-energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Internal radiation uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. It is not yet know whether giving cisplatin and external and internal radiation therapy together with carboplatin and paclitaxel kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III ;trial ;studies ;how well giving cisplatin and radiation therapy together with or without carboplatin and paclitaxel works in treating patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.

The Groovy development team is happy to deliver two new releases as early Christmas presents: Groovy 1.8.5 and 2.0-beta-2.
While we work hard on Invoke Dynamic support, Static Type Checking and some experimental Static Compilation, we also find time to fix a good load of bugs and some minor improvements, as those two releases here are essentially minor incremental versions.
You can have a look at the tickets closed here, for 1.8.5:
And here for 2.0-beta-2:
You can download both distributions at the usual place:
If you want to play with the experimental static compilation, you can do so by following the instructions from the GEP-10 page:
Look for the "testing" paragraph in the middle of the document, which contains a link to the experimental JAR, as well as some basic explanations.
And please continue reporting your findings on the static type checking as well.
Thanks a lot to all those who contributed to this release: developers, contributors, users, bug reporters.
On behalf of the Groovy development team, we'd like to wish you a Groovy Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
