text: If the first thing you hear when entering a bar is "I swear the jukebox is free," there are two possible scenarios: You've found a gold mine, or someone is already stupid drunk. And while the jukebox at Bare Bones Bar (2900 SE Belmont St., 206-6535) does cost a few quarters, I was lucky enough on a recent visit to discover that the bar staff and a friendly patron had loaded it up with enough cash for me to pick songs by Pavement and Madonna without sacrificing any sacred beer money. The rest of the space, which opened in February and shares a name with the cafe next door, is just as laid back, with plenty of cheap drinks ($2.50 Miller High Life tallboys) and a killer bowl of Frito pie ($6) featuring housemade vegan espresso chili and lime sour cream. Remember to tip your bartender, and you just might get a few free plays.

Certification Programs for Electronics Recyclers
EPA encourages all electronics recyclers to become certified by demonstrating to an accredited, independent third-party auditor that they meet specific standards to safely recycle and manage electronics. Currently two accredited certification standards exist: the Responsible Recycling Practices (R2) and the e-Stewards® standards. We also encourage customers to choose certified electronics recyclers.
Responsible electronics recycling provides important benefits, such as:
- Reducing environmental and human health impacts from improper recycling;
- Increasing access to quality reusable and refurbished equipment to those who need them; and
- Reducing energy use and other environmental impacts associated with mining and processing of virgin materials conserving our limited natural resources.
Both the existing certification programs share common elements that ensure responsible recycling of used electronics. These programs advance best management practices and offer a way to assess the environmental, worker health, and security practices of entities managing used electronics. Specifically, these certification programs are based on strong environmental standards which maximize reuse and recycling, minimize exposure to human health or the environment, ensure safe management of materials by downstream handlers, and require destruction of all data on used electronics.
Certified electronics recyclers have demonstrated through audits and other means that they continually meet specific high environmental standards and safely manage used electronics. Once certified, the recycler is held to the particular standard by continual oversight by the independent accredited certifying body. A certification accreditation board accredits certifying bodies and oversees certifying bodies to ensure that they meet specific responsibilities and are competent to audit and provide certification. EPA supports and will continue to push for continuous improvement of electronics recycling practices and standards.
In February 2012, the EPA agreed to provide technical assistance in the areas of environmental and public health to the R2 and e-Stewards standards:
- Response to e-Stewards Invitation, February 23, 2012 (PDF) (1 pp, 182K)
- Response to R2 Solutions Invitation, March 5, 2012 (PDF) (1 pp, 189K)
Finding a Certifying Body
ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB) is the organization that accredits certifying bodies in the United States. They provide an updated list of which certifying body has attained accreditation to which standard .
Finding Certified Electronics Recyclers
Contact R2 Solutions and e-Stewards for the respective list of certified electronics recyclers, or see a Map of Certified Electronics Refurbishing and Recycling Facilities. EPA does not audit or certify facilities for conformance with any electronics recycling standard.

Public art, theatre rentals, entertainment, and more.
Most building projects in the City and County of Denver including new construction, remodeling and repairs require a building permit plan review to evaluate the projects before permits are issued. There are some instances where only a trade specific permit or a quick permit is issued with no review required.
When a building permit plan review is necessary, plans will be reviewed in one of two ways - as a 'same day review' (also known as walk-in review) or as a 'log-in review'. The type of review you need depends upon the complexity of your project.
Projects that qualify for a same day review have a total construction value less than $300,000.00, do not require approval from any other agency, or projects that have been approved by the Building Official for same day review.
Approval from each reviewing discipline (Architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, where applicable fire and wastewater) is required for issuance of a permit.
Commercial projects eligible for same day review:
Residential projects eligible for same day review:
Projects not eligible for same day review:
Projects too complex for same day review:
If, at any point in the review, the reviewing engineer/technician determines that the project is too complex or lacking information required to allow approval, the project must be logged in for review.
More complex construction projects with a total construction value greater than $300,000.00 are required to be logged in for review. There are two types of log-in reviews: Main Log and Intermediate Project Log Review.
Residential projects appropriate for the major project log include:
Residential projects appropriate for the intermediate log review include:
Commercial same-day:
8 to 11:30 a.m. (check in starts at 7 a.m.)
Noon to 3:30 p.m. (check in from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.)
Please call 720-865-2705 to be sure that your project is eligible for a same day review.

I remember a while ago having played a memory-like game which had blue plastic "pawns" which covered holes in a round cardboard sheet, while a second lower layer of cardboard was able to rotate underneath. There were pictures on the lower layer which corresponded to the holes in the upper layer, and there were several different possible picture combinations. What is that game called?

Christopher Owens On World Cafe
Originally published on Fri October 4, 2013 11:12 am
Formerly of the San Francisco rock band Girls, Christopher Owens now explores music and life on his own. Shortly after the duo released its second album, Father, Son, Holy Ghost, Owens announced that he was leaving to go solo. Released this past January, Lysandre is his first album recorded under his own name; it's a coming-of-age story for the singer, intertwined with hints of romance.
Here, Owens talks with WXPN's Michaela Majoun about the album's quiet nature; it's a gentler version of the '60s- and '70s-inspired music he'd been making with Girls since 2009. Several of Lysandre's songs are written in the same key, making the entire album feel like a unified piece. It also offers a revealing look into Owens' personal life and unconventional upbringing: At 16, he decided to leave a religious organization widely described as a cult.
Since then, Owens has been trying to find his own way, and he's used songwriting as a means of exploration. On this installment of World Cafe, hear him perform four raw and intimate songs from his latest album.

During his tenure as Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson has been prolific in signing young talent and turning them into top-quality players. However, nobody is perfect and during his 25 years at the helm of England's most successful club, he has had his fair share of what turned out to be shocking forays into the transfer market. In response to my previous article chronicling Ferguson's best 10 signings, and in the interest of fairness, here are his worst 10 purchases in the transfer market.
Again, on similar lines to my first article on Fergie's Best Signings, I have tried to compile the list based on how terrible the player was, the transfer fee wasted on them, and any pitiful amounts they were sold for. Also, this list is purely confined to players whom Ferguson has bought in the transfer market so, regrettably, there is no room for Jonny Evans and his ilk in all this.
Source: Graeme Bandeira
Transfer fee paid: Trial
I know what most of you are probably thinking, "Who the hell is that???" Well, I'll tell you. William Prunier played in the very first United game my dad took me to in 1995, against Queen's Park Rangers. Prunier was a centre-half and was signed on a trial basis by Ferguson, and performed admirably in a 2-1 victory against the Rs. However, in the next game against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane, he was utterly shocking. He was part of a makeshift defence that conceded 4 goals in a humiliating 4-1 loss, for which he was branded the scapegoat, and was shipped out of the club by his own consent shortly afterwards. His time in the Old Trafford limelight was as brief as it was eventful.
Transfer fee paid: £3 million
Transfer fee received: £3 million
United have had their fair share of Gallic icons over the years, with 'Le King' Eric Cantona at the top of the tree. Alas, French winger Gabriel Obertan, who joined the Reds in 2009 from Bordeaux, was destined not to become one of them. Although initially looking rather promising, it soon became clear that the only thing Obertan possessed was pace and nothing else. There was hardly ever any end product and his ability to cross the ball was terrible, way behind Nani, Antonio Valencia and Ji-Sung Park for positions on the flanks. However, Newcastle United were somehow persuaded to part with £3 million last summer for the Frenchman, and thus Ferguson managed to recoup the initial transfer fee outlaid.
Transfer fee paid: £1 million
Transfer fee received: £6 million
One quote from Ben Foster himself, on the eve of playing his former club for Birmingham City last Christmas, summed up why he did not make it as a Manchester United goalkeeper, "A club like United is cut-throat. But I'm loving it (here at St Andrew's). I don't wish I'd stuck around at Old Trafford at all". Foster has also said, "I love winning. If I'm playing a video game, anything, I want to win. But the United thing is another step up the ladder of mental toughness and it's not really me". It is clear then that Foster simply could not deal with the immense pressure that came from being the number one at Manchester United, where any mistake, particularly from a goalkeeper, is punished vociferously by all in the football world. He was tipped to be England's number one, and may still be one day, but it was another buy that ultimately proved to be more miss than hit for Ferguson.
Transfer fee paid: £20.4 million
A harsh one perhaps, as Anderson is still only 23, has had several injury problems in his United career thusfar, and he may yet develop into a brilliant player. If he becomes the cog in United's midfield engine-room in the coming seasons, then I'll hold my hands up. But, for someone who was signed as an attacking midfielder, and who has been playing regularly in the English top flight for almost five seasons now, to have scored only 7 goals in over 140 games is, quite frankly, pathetic. He is the present scapegoat for United's contemporary central midfield inadequacies, but there is very good reason for that. As already stated, there is still time for him to turn this all around, but the Brazilian is presently looking at being one of Ferguson's expensive failures in the transfer market.
Transfer fee paid: £5.9 million
Transfer fee received: £2.5 million
Kleberson, a World-Cup winner from 2002, arrived at United in the summer of 2003 and was presented to the media at the same time as an 18 year-old Portuguese winger who went by the name of Cristiano Ronaldo. Attending the same press briefing and wearing the red shirt however, was where the similarities between the two players ended. Kleberson was signed as a replacement for Juan Sebastian Veron - a name that may well appear again on this list – and had even less luck than his forebear in cementing a place in United's central midfield. The Brazilian made only 30 appearances and scored only twice before being sold to Besiktas in the summer of 2005.
Transfer fee paid: £7.4 million
Again, like Anderson, criticising a player that is so young (21) may eventually backfire on me and he may turn out to be the next Ronaldo, you never know. But, at this moment in time, Ferguson has paid almost £7.5 million for a player he could have purchased for a few hundred thousand pounds sterling had he acted a few weeks earlier. The Portuguese occasionally featured last season, inspiring few along the way of why Ferguson had bought him in the first place. Yet he was still able to, at my immense shock, be near the front of the team bus when the Premier League trophy was paraded through Manchester in May of this year. How and why I asked, and continue to ask myself. Bébé was loaned out to Besiktas for this season, but has suffered a cruciate ligament injury that will keep him out for six months, consequently meaning he will continue to go down as one of Ferguson's poorest purchases.
Transfer fee paid: £170,000
Transfer fee received: Free
Like Prunier, this entry will no doubt have many of you scratching your heads and saying, "Eh??". But Milne is in this list, and very high up to say the least, because Ferguson himself has said that the midfielder was the worst buy of his tenure at United! Speaking at an LMA dinner in November 2009, Ferguson said, "My worst signing? Ralph Milne. I only paid £170,000 but I still get condemned for it." How can you argue with that? Well, I will, because here is my top three…
Transfer fee paid: £7.5 million
Transfer fee received: Around £3 million
"He came from Uruguay, he made the Scousers cry!", as the chant goes. But, in truth, the brace scored at Anfield was pretty much the ONLY meaningful thing that Diego Forlan ever did during 2 and a half years at Old Trafford. That and forget to put his shirt back on after celebrating a goal against Chelsea. His statistics of just 17 goals in almost 100 appearances is absolutely woeful for a striker, and he was quickly sold to Villarreal in the summer of 2004, where he regained his form and class in front of goal. He has since earned big-money moves to both Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan, whilst at international level, he has formed a magnificent strike-partnership with Luis Suarez for Uruguay. He has proved himself to be a brilliant player, but he just couldn't play in England and must go down as one of Ferguson's worst buys.
Transfer fee paid: £28.1 million
Transfer fee received: £15 million
As must his South American compatriot, Juan Sebastian Veron, comfortably the most expensive failure that Ferguson has ever undertaken. I maintain that, like Forlan, who has proved himself to be a great player in his post-United career, Veron was a truly brilliant playmaker, but he just could not play in the English top flight. People often say of foreign imports into the Premier League that they take time to adapt to the style and pace of the English game, a vastly different proposition to what is found in the top-flight leagues of the European continent. Veron, however, NEVER got used to the style of play in England and was never given the time and space on the ball he craved in order to succeed. Ferguson once famously claimed, using rather colourful language that Veron was a great player and would prove every single doubter wrong. In spite of this, he was sold to Chelsea in 2004, where he had an even worse spell in English football.
Transfer fee paid: £4.5 million
The Blind Ventian is, without question, the worst player that Sir Alex Ferguson has ever bought for Manchester United. Given that he came with a price tag of £4.5 million, which was a lot of money in 1999, and given that United were in the process of replacing Peter Schmeichel – no mean feat in and of itself – Taibi was bought specifically to fight it out with both Raimond Van Der Gouw and Mark Bosnich for the number one jersey, the former of which was not happy about, as the beginning of this video illustrates… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Efq80jcfWfI However, it was the goalkeeping blunders of Taibi, the most famous of which can be seen at 1:40 in this video against Southampton - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esFAGx7RDL4 - that makes him Ferguson's worst ever purchase. After so many years of Schmeichel giving so many assured performances, this nervousness in between the posts was a major shock, one that took United over five years to properly get over. The fact that Taibi only made four league appearances for club before he was sold to Reggina, somehow for £2.5 million, demonstrates eloquently how quickly Ferguson realised the sheer scope of the error he had made in signing the Italian. Arrivederci Massimo!
There you have it! The 10 worst transfers that Sir Alex Ferguson has made whilst manager of Manchester United! What do you think?
Bringing back some bad memories there ;)However I would disagree with Foster and Anderson. Anderson still being in the team is a signal of Sir Alex's faith in him to improve. Foster got sporadic appearances over the years, so it is a bit harsh to consider him amongst the worst, especially when he had to contend with playing second fiddle to VDS. Replace them with Djemba-Djemba and Barthez and we have a better (or worse!) list there
I would not have put Veron in there myself and I think Forlan is debatable. I think they were both the victims of the success of other players, namely Van Nistelrooy and Keane. Forlan scored some very crucial goals for United, but I do agree that he didn't have the best of times at Old Trafford. Veron was just not able to adapt his game to play along side Keane, but his form vastly improved when he played alongside the likes of Phil Neville, for example. However I do agree that for the price we paid he should have been able to adapt his game to suit. Personally I would have reserved a place for Djemba-Djemba and Alan Smith on this list. It's a good list though, and I agree with the choice of Anderson
Conor - Foster could be seen as a bit harsh I suppose, especially when I have people like Djemba-Djemba, Bellion, Jordi Cruyff etc left out. I just remember he came with so much potential and high hopes and snuffed it, prefering to play for (no disrespect) smaller teams such as Birmingham City, where he was not in the limelight so much and could be forgiven for making mistakes, no like the cut-throat mentality that exists at a club like United. Regarding Anderson, he still has time to prove me wrong, and I'll be delighted if he does, but at this moment it does look like he will be an expensive mistake.
Liam - I have said that I thought both Veron and Forlan were both great players, but they just could not for United/in England. Forlan in particular has proven what a great forward he is in his post-United career, at Villarreal where he won the European Golden boot alongside Thierry Henry in the 2004-05 season, at Atletico Madrid where he formed a great partnership with Aguero, and now he is at Inter, so he has not done too badly really!I agree that Djemba-Djemba could well be on the list, but not Alan Smith, had terrible injury problems (Injury v Liverpool FA Cup, 2006) and also forced to play as a defensive midfielder when Keane left the club, not his natural position.
Haha - nice list, John. I certainly recall Prunier's contribution against Tottenham in the mid-90s!I agree with a few of the comments that Foster and Anderson are a bit harsh (although Anderson did come with a hefty price tag). Certainly agree with the comments above about Djemba-Djemba. And another candidate for the list has to be Liam "the next Roy Keane" Miller who was a flop at United and was poor later in his career with Queens Park Rangers.
Obviously you forgot about Djemba-Djemba and Liam Miller. Foster and Anderson is harsh as Anderson still can be a key player for United. Even Bosnich could possibly be in that list.
Good article this, and well laid out. It's clear from all the comments that the 10 worst, could easily be the 20 worst.Djemba-Djemba, Tosic, Bellion, Davenport....the list goes on
Two entries with which I don't really agree.Firstly to say Anderson is a worse signing than the likes of Djemba Djemba and Bellion in a farce.Anderson is a player who has suffered terribly with injuries. Whenever he has been fit and got some games under his belt, he has been near enough a mainstay. He joined as an attacking midfielder and it was because of Ferguson's attempts to remould him as an all action centre midfielder that his goal return was so poor. Look how many of his goals have come in the last 18 months since he has been pushed into a more attacking role.Juan Sebastian Veron was an enigma. To say he never got to grips with the English game is not true. I remember him dominating games against Arsenal(partnering P. Neville and scoring a goal) and Chelsea(where he set up Forlan's winner).Veron was another player who suffered with injuries and never really fitted in the Keane/Scholes jigsaw.However to say he was a complete flop was untrue, many United fans admit that Veron did deliver many world class performances, particularly in Europe.
i cant believe anderson is in there ahead of:tosic, bellion, djemba-djemba, miller, berbatov (for £30m + age), tim howard, barthez, gabriel heinze, quinton fortune, roy carroll, ricardo, could go on. Seriously?also united made a £5m profit on foster and he wasnt woeful.Some rethinking maybe needs to be done, but i agree with kleberson and taibi. I think with obertan he was too young and needed time to develop.
Veron should be number 1. He came with a big reputation and did jack, before being off loaded to Chelsea where he continued to do jack. Got off loaded to Inter where, he did even more jack. As a Chelsea sympathising Inter fan, this guy was a source of great anguish for a long time.
there's still hope for Anderson
Forlan. One of the worst or the one that got away?
I love Seba. He did not fit the MUFC system. A deep lying midfielder, best played at the rear end of a diamond midfield. We, at that time were very much flat four in midfield. Besides all that, he had a rather quality run in Europe with us and had quite a few assists as well. Right player, wrong team.
Similar to the scenario we now see with Berbatov.
Where's Owen Hargreaves?
I seriously can't believe that after all the names, none mentioned Mark Bosnich. ok ok, some might argue that he should not be in the list because the one who actually signed him was Martin Edwards, not SAF himself. But I'm sure few would argue that goalkeeper is the position that SAF rarely gets it right after the Great Schmeichel.
from where did u get all this stats John ?? From SAF himself ??
But i must agree with the no.1 worst buy, Massimo Taibi for me it's just doesn't fit in the UNITED team at that time.
1 name. DONG
Did everyone forget about Taibi?
Just noticed Taibi is number one... how very silly of me.

Freshman guard Tim Smith gets first career start and helps lead ETSU past UNC Asheville, 87-69
Saturday, December 07, 2002JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Dec. 7, 2002) - East Tennessee State University's men's basketball coach Ed DeChellis made a change in his starting lineup for Saturday's game with UNC Asheville. It proved to be a good move. Taking over for sophomore guard Sam Oatman (Neenah, Wis.) - who had started the Buccaneers first four games -- true freshman point guard Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) made the most of his first career start by collecting game-highs in scoring (20 points), assists (six) and steals (five), while also picking seven rebounds in ETSU's 87-69 victory over non-conference foe UNC Asheville Saturday afternoon in front 3,135 fans at Memorial Center. "I just felt like we needed to make a change at point guard," said DeChellis, whose team improved to 2-3 on the young season. "I think Sam was putting a lot of pressure on himself and Tim was able to come in a play a whale of a game for us. He really pushes the ball well and he has the ability to make everyone around him play better." That was evident in the final box score, as four other Bucs cracked double-digit scoring. Junior forwards Jerald Field (Gainesville, Fla.) and Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.) scored 16 and 14 points, respectively, followed by sophomore guard James Anthony (Brandon, Fla.) with a 13-point effort and senior guard Ryan Lawson (Rogersville) with 10 points. The Bucs shot 47 percent from the field, which included a blistering 10-of-21 (48 percent) clip from beyond the 3-point line. "ETSU beat us in all phases of the game," said UNC Asheville head coach Eddie Biedenbach, whose team dropped to 2-3 on the season. " Ed has a very good team here and they will battle for the (Southern Conference) title this year. We simply didn't play well at all." After jumping out to an early 11-5 lead on a basket by Wadood and an assist from Smith, the Bucs were able to cushion their lead throughout the first half and hold an advantage of as many as 16 points at 37-21 with 4:58 left before intermission. However, the Bulldogs put together a 9-3 run to finish out the first half and trailed 40-30 at the break. But ETSU methodically added to its lead in the second half and a layup by Anthony thanks to an assist from Smith made it 84-63 with 1:57 left in the game. The Bulldogs were unable to make a move the rest of the way. Smith, who saw a career-high 31 minutes of playing time, said he was happy to do his part. "I just didn't feel right coming off the bench," Smith said. "But I understood Sam put in his time and deserved the starting job. I just want to do my part." For Asheville, post Ben McGonagil led the way with 19 points for the Bulldogs. McGonagil was joined in double figures by Andre Smith (16), Bryan McCullough (13) and Alex Kragel (12). ETSU will be in action again Saturday, Dec. 14 when they host UVa.-Wise at 4 p.m. The game will be played in Brooks Gym due to graduation ceremonies being held that day at Memorial Center.

Garth Ennis & Craig Cermak's 'Red Team' Is A Good Start For a Dark Tale [Review]
Some people deserve to die. They're so vile or anti-life that leaving them alive would only result in misery for everyone they meet. At the same time, is it right to kill them? In Red Team, Garth Ennis and Craig Cermak are exploring this conundru

To a young puppy who spent her life without human kindness, struggling each day to survive on the streets of New York, the world seemed like a pretty scary place.
We could see fear in Magnolia's eyes when we first rescued her from the streets. She was terrified—frightened of the outside world, wary of humans and slow to trust. Who could blame her?
After months of love and special care at our Adoption Center, Magnolia slowly came out of her shell. And in September, she found her forever home.
You helped change Magnolia's life. But our work is not done yet. There are still countless animals depending on us. This holiday, please consider making a small donation to animals in need.
We can't thank you enough for helping us save lives—happy Thanksgiving from the ASPCA!

Amazing Written By Darren, Knoxville, Tennessee on Thursday, March 19, 2015 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I have owned these headphones for little over a year now, and they are definitely worthy of the Sennheiser name. They offer accurate sound reproduction, which is a necessity for an audiophile, like myself. I have noticed that they do sound better when plugged up to a computer vs a phone, this is due to the 54 ohm impedance. They don't sound bad at all in mobile devices, but there is a boost in sound while using computers. They may not be the coolest looking headphones out there, but the reason I buy headphones is to listen to music, not as a fashion accessory. These are labeled as studio headphones by Sennheiser, but they sure do perform the task of everyday music listening. The only problem that I have is the case, nothing bad about the headphones :D The headphones just aren't super snug in the case, and that is perfectly fine. This is a very minor thing, so I wouldn't base your purchase off of this. Overall amazing headphones. Although these have been discontinued on Crutchfield, you can still get them on Sennheiser's website. I definitely recommend these to any one who is passionate about music.

Pros: Accurate sound and comfortable to wear. Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome Written By A3R, Philadelphia, Pa on Saturday, December 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality All around great headphones, I'm mainly using them for listening to my iPod and gaming. After listening to 10 dollar headphones for the longest time these are a huge change. The best way I can describe it is a nice clean crisp sound. And since these are over the ear it really helps isolate the sound. The only thing I would change would be the cord. Since I plan to use these on a bus and not in a studio the cord is a bit overkill. I'm still in the process of finding a replacement. Pros: Amazing sound, comfortable, comes with carrying case , removable cord Cons: The coiled cord 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I am totally pleased with them. Pros: The sound ..... amazing Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No They are Professional Grade Written By Sasquatch, Northern Virginia on Wednesday, July 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I produce voice over narration and interactive courseware. I needed a set of professional grade, over the ear, closed back headphones for recording voice overs. The HS380 PRO meets the need. They don't look cool, and I don't care. I didn't buy them to look cool. I bought them because I needed headphones for professional production. Sound quality is great, with excellent mid-range presence and voicing and no bass boominess. The build quality is excellent. Noise reduction is surprisingly good for headphones that are not noise cancelling. I have found that my head gets hot if I wear the headphones for a long time, but otherwise they are very comfortable. If you're looking for a set of pro quality headphones at a price that won't break the bank, the HS380 Pro should be on your short list. Pros: Sound Quality and Build Quality. Cons: Coolness Factor is low. However, if you want to pay extra for cool looking headphones simply because they are cool looking, go look at Beats by Dr. Dre. If you are looking for performance instead of looks, you've come to the right place. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort rating Noise Reduction Sound Quality You hear it all.Nice pair! Pros: Clear Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent for Work Written By m3zito, Cambridge, MA on Friday, November 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I've only been using them for a few days now but these are excellent for the office. The sound quality is top notch, better than Bose in my opinion. They block outside noise well, but they are not active noise cancelling so you can steal hear the drone of an air conditioner at low volumes. I originally tried the HD 598 with the open air design. While I think the sound quality was slightly better in the highs and the open sound, I simply was not able to keep them due to the amount of outside sound they let in and sound they let out. I would have kept them for home use but my primary use is the office. They also fold flat and come with a nice carrying case. Pros: Sound quality, sound isolation, carrying case. Cons: Closed design can create a slight echo effect. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Profiling Assay to determine GST-GSH interactions in multiplex bead-based assays (HPSMTB buffer)
One arm of apoptosis is regulated by the balance of anti-apoptotic and pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members. In humans, six genes have been identified that encode anti-apoptotic proteins characterized by the presence of conserved motifs designated as three Bcl-2 homology (BH) regions, BH1, BH2, and BH3 [Reed, et al. 2004].

Profiling Assay Background and Significance:
One arm of apoptosis is regulated by the balance of anti-apoptotic and pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members. In humans, six genes have been identified that encode anti-apoptotic proteins characterized by the presence of conserved motifs designated as three Bcl-2 homology (BH) regions, BH1, BH2, and BH3 [Reed, et al. 2004]. These domains form a hydrophobic cleft in tertiary structure. Pro-apoptotic family members contain BH3 regions that form an amphipathic helix, and these helices bind in the clefts of the anti-apoptotic proteins. Overexpression of pro-apoptotic BH3 peptides has been shown to increase apoptosis of leukemia cells using in vitro and animal model studies [Holinger, et al. 1999; Wang et al. 2000; Walensky et al. 2004]. The binding of fluorochrome-conjugated BH3 peptides (including Bim) to Bcl-2 family members thus provides the basis for construction of fluorescence-based assays amenable to flow cytometry high throughput screening for small molecule regulators of these interactions. This is a counterscreen for a multiplex bead-based assay to identify potential false positive findings in a screen for small molecule regulators of protein interactions between the BH3 peptide of Bim and the following six Bcl-2 family members: Bcl-XL, Bcl-W, Bcl-B, Bfl-1, and Mcl-1 and Bcl-2 (the eponymous founding member of the Bcl-2 family).
In the HT screen, each component of the multiplex assay consists of a glutathione labeled bead, a GST Bcl-fusion protein target (six total, supplied by project collaborator), and a fluorescent peptide probe, F-Bim (FITC-Ahx-DMRPEIWIAQELRRIGDEFNAYYAR-OH; Commonwealth Biotech, USA). Bead sets are coated with individual GST-conjugated Bcl-2 proteins in HPSMTB buffer (30mM HEPES, 100mM KCl, 20mM NaCl, 1mM MgCl(2), 0.01% Tween-20, 0.1% BSA) and incubated overnight at 4 degrees C.
The multiplex is constructed by using beads for each protein target that have been labeled with varying intensities of red color, so that each assay is built on a unique bead set, and each bead set is associated with a unique optical address. Beads are first washed in HPSMTB buffer for 20 minutes before adding the appropriate GST-Bcl fusion protein. The bead sets (ThermoFisher Scientific product numbers XPR-1687-XPR-1696), have similar size (~ 4 micron diameter) and are distinguished by distinct emission characteristics at 665 +/-10 nm with excitation at 635 nm. Thus, GST-Bfl-1 might be non-covalently coated onto red level 1 beads, GST-Bcl-XL onto red level 2 beads, etc. The 6 bead sets (each with bound protein) and uncoated beads (see below) are first centrifuged separately, then combined and centrifuged again, and finally diluted just before loading into 384-well plates, to minimize bead-protein dissociation before the assay begins.
The HTS assay was conducted in 384-well microplates in a total assay volume per well of 10.1 microliters (5 microliters of bead mixture, 0.1 microliters of test compound, and 5 microliters of 100 nM F-Bim in HPSMTB). Test compound concentration was 10 microM. Controls, which contained bead mixture and F-Bim but no test compound, were located in columns 1 and 2 on each plate. Plates were placed horizontal axis on rotators and incubated for 1-2 hours at 4 degrees C.
A glutathione-only bead set control (no associated GST-protein) was incorporated into each well as a fluorescence scavenger to determine inherent fluorescent properties (at 530 nm emission) of the test compounds. Specificity of F-Bim binding was determined with a Positive Control using a block of the F-Bim fluor with a non-fluoresceinated Bim peptide. The F-Bim blocking control was run daily as a separate single tube assay using Bim at 5 microM.
In this counterscreen assay, compounds were evaluated for the ability to interfere with the binding of the GST fusion proteins to the GSH beads (thus producing potential false positive results). Dose response experiments were constructed in which compounds at 10 mM concentration in DMSO were serially diluted 1:3.16 eight times for a total of nine different test compound concentrations. Final compound dilutions in DMSO ranged from 1 microM to 10 mM. These dilutions were then further diluted 1 to 100 to give an assay concentration range of 10 nanoM to 100 microM. GSH beads were incubated overnight with 50 nM GST-green fluorescent protein (similar to GST-Bcl proteins in the screening assay), then diluted as usual in the dose response series, and NOT including any F-Bim.
Sample acquisition and preliminary analysis was conducted with the HyperCyt(R) high throughput flow cytometry platform. The HyperCyt system interfaces a flow cytometer and autosampler for high-throughput microliter-volume sampling from 384-well microtiter plates [Kuckuck, et al. 2001]. The stream of particles is excited at 488 nm and 635 nM, and flow cytometric data of light scatter and fluorescence emission at 530 +/- 20 nm (FL1) and emission at 665 +/- 10 nm (FL8) are collected on a Cyan Flow Cytometer (Dako). Analysis of the time-resolved acquisition data file uses IDLeQuery software to merge the flow cytometry data files with compound worklist files generated by HyperSip software. The raw data are parsed in IDLeQuery to produce annotated fluorescence summary data for each well. The parsed data are then processed through an Excel template file constructed specifically for the assay to segregate data for each target and the fluorescence scavenger in the multiplex. Gating based on forward scatter (FS) and side scatter (SS) parameters is used to identify singlet bead populations. Gating based on FL8 emission distinguishes the beads coated with GFP, and the green median fluorescence intensity (MFI) per bead population (well) is calculated.
In dose response GST-GSH experiments, the assay was performed without compound and with nine different concentrations of compound, from 10 nanoM to 100 microM, to produce a series of 9 data points. IDLeQuery calculates the median channel fluorescence (MCF) for each of these ligand concentrations, generating competition curves.
Ligand competition curves were fitted by Prism# software (GraphPad Software, Inc., San Diego, CA) using nonlinear least-squares regression in a sigmoidal dose response model with variable slope, also known as the four parameter logistic equation. Curve fit statistics were used to determine the concentration of added test compound competitor that inhibited fluorescent ligand binding by 50 percent (EC50, microM), the low and high boundaries of the 95% confidence interval of the EC50 estimate, the Hill Slope, and the correlation coefficient (r squared) indicative of goodness-of-fit.
Compounds with EC50 less than 10 microM and magnitude of response greater than 20% (i.e., Bottom of sigmoidal curve < 0.8 * Top of sigmoidal curve, listed as FIT_PERCENT_SPAN) were said to be "Active", and thus given a PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE. The PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE was based on the following equation;
PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE = 50 * ( 1 - EC50/10 microM) + 50 * (Response - 20)/20
Active compounds have an ACTIVITY_SCORE greater than 20.

The Nolan County United Way (NCUW) is promoting their yearly campaign with the theme "Give Where You Live".
Their commitment to serve local entities is spear-headed by Wendy Smart, the Executive Director of the NCUW. Running solely on pledges, a board of volunteers from the community hope to impact the community with a caring power.
To donate to the local United Way, a one-time donation can be given through a payroll deduction or a quarterly basis. Each donation helps thousands of people in the area through nine agencies, who undergo an annual interview process.
The agencies must also meet several guidelines to receive funding from the Nolan County United Way. In a year's time, the NCUW will give support on three different occasions to the agencies.
The agencies who benefit from the Nolan County United Way are the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, SNAP (Senior Nutrition Activities Program), Cancer Services Network, Gateway Family Services, Sweetwater BackPack Buddies, the West Texas Children's Advocacy Center (WTCAC), the Big Country Medical Reserve Corps, and the Women's Resource Center.
With the 2012 goal set at $85,000, the money raised by the NCUW will stay within the county to help the agencies. One of the agencies, the Nolan County Girl Scouts, has seen the ways the local non-profit helps them while they also give back to the United Way.
"The United Way is one of the Girl Scouts' biggest partners," said troop leader Judy Leighow. "With their generous funding, girls in our area can participate in programs and activities."
The local Girl Scouts stay busy all year round with a variety of events, in order to provide girls with leadership experience obtained through the program. Traits like leadership, friendship and teamwork are just some of the attributes taught through the activities that impact the lives of the girls for their entire lifetime.
In turn, the Girl Scouts give back to the United Way by assisting with events, like selling tickets at the Rattlesnake Round-Up and working the booth at the Halloween Extravaganza. Each year, they also participate in the local Christmas parade and the 4th of July parade.
The community has benefitted from the work of the Girl Scouts, as they recently helped beautify one part of downtown Sweetwater. They painted the "mushroom" at First Financial Bank--now known as the Color Wheel--as well as the surrounding benches on the bank's campus.
This year, the Nolan County Girl Scouts also participated in an event in Clyde on February 22. "World Thinking Day", held each year, gave the group a chance to celebrate the global impact of Girl Scouts while learning about other countries.
In addition, the girls also celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts this year. The Nolan County troop took part in a flash mob at the Mall of Abilene and they also participated in the centennial celebration of "Stand Up and Be Counted," which was a rededication to the Girl Scout Promise.
Also part of the celebration, the local troop helped bury a 100th Anniversary time capsule while helping out at the sixtieth anniversary observance of Camp Boothe Oaks. Much activity has taken place at the camp over the past year, as the Girl Scouts hosted several clean-up days, a twilight camp and a Christmas party.
Their latest campaign is to raise funds to help restore the swimming pool at Camp Boothe Oaks. Through selling crafts hand-made by the Girl Scout members, they were able to raise around $75 to open an account for the swimming pool fund.
"These are just some of the things that the Girl Scouts in Nolan County have accomplished this year," Leighow said. "We all look forward to seeing what they will accomplish in the coming years."
This article is part of a series called "Nolan County United Way: Agency Spotlight". Through a partnership with the NCUW, the Sweetwater Reporter hopes to inform readers about all nine agencies.

Lawmakers offer helping of holiday thanks with side dish of debt worries
After a heated campaign season, lawmakers expressed gratitude in their Thanksgiving remarks but not without the political undertones of an economy limping back to life and impending fiscal crisis.
In their weekly addresses, both sides first thanked members of the military serving abroad and those on the East Coast still suffering in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
"In the midst of so much tragedy, there are also glimmers of hope," said President Barack Obama. "We've seen hospital workers using their lunch breaks to distribute supplies; families offering up extra bedrooms; the fire department advertising free hot showers; buses full of volunteers coming from hundreds of miles away."
It is in that spirit of service and optimism that lawmakers should work together to find common ground on deficit negotiations, U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers said in the GOP weekly address.
"Republicans have reached out to President Obama in the hope of working together to help our economy grow and solve the debt that threatens our children's future," said the Washington state congresswoman, pointing to the "fiscal cliff," a series of potentially debilitating federal tax increases and spending cuts that would go into effect if Congress and the president fail to reach a deal to stabilize the nation's debt.
Turbulent deficit talks between the president and congressional leaders were largely put on the backburner in the weeks leading up to the election. After Obama's victory, however, lawmakers are feeling a sense of urgency to find common ground on taming the national debt as the year-end deadline looms and congressional approval ratings plummet. Republicans and Democrats have struck tones of bipartisanship, but it remains unclear if they can reach a compromise before the deadline.
Rodgers said that after the campaign season, "Far too many Americans remain out of work. Our national debt exceeds the size of the economy and threatens to derail our children's future."
"Republicans believe this is an opportunity to finally solve problems that Washington has ignored for too long," she continued.
Giving thanks, Obama said, is especially important this year, also striking a tone of bipartisanship.
"As a nation, we've just emerged from a campaign season that was passionate, noisy, and vital to our democracy," he continued. "But it also required us to make choices, and sometimes those choices led us to focus on what sets us apart instead of what ties us together; on what candidate we support instead of what country we belong to."

For the last two months, I've had the privilege of interning with the guys over at Sprudge. Each week, I doodle up a little doodle, and provide a brief recap stew of stories from around the world of coffee.
It's been a really great experience, and Sprudge has been amazing to work with. You can check out all my recaps right here.
This week's doodle is a shout out to Cafe Imports and the gang of 2012 US Regional Barista Champions who just got back from running around Costa Rica, learning about coffee and having an amazing experience. If you do anything on Instagram this week, go check Sprudge and the #KostaFreaka hashtag—there were some amazing pictures coming out of Costa Rica.

What they're saying about Susan Rice
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice has been widely criticized for saying that the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, that left ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead stemmed from a spontaneous demonstation. She's also won praise, too. Rice has been mentioned as a possible replacement to secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Here's what D.C. politicos are saying about her:
Barack Obama
"For them to go after the UN ambassador who had nothing to do with Benghazi, and was simply making a presentation based on intelligence that she had received, and to besmirch her reputation is outrageous," President Barack Obama during a Nov. 14, 2012, press conference.(Photo: AP Photo)
