Celtic Park (although known to many fans by the name of the Parkhead area in which it is situated) is simply a massive stadium that can be seen from miles around. Three quarters of the ground have been re-developed over the years greatly improving the overall look. The ground is totally enclosed, with the three new sides being two tiered. The lower tiers of these stands are huge and come up to roughly the same height as the older Main (South) Stand which is also two tiered, just showing how large they are. The upper tiers of the new North Stand does have a few supporting pillars, which may obstruct your view (the club do however issue reduced price tickets for those seats effected). The Main Stand is unusual as it has a large roof, most of which is translucent, which makes it look quite striking. The translucency helps keep the pitch in good condition. A television gantry is also suspended from beneath its roof. However with the Main Stand being far smaller then the other sides, the ground looks a little unbalanced. Still if this was to be re-developed at some point in the future then I'm sure Celtic Park would be in the running for the best club ground in Britain. However, I understand that this may be sometime off as the Main Stand is a listed building. There are also two large video screens suspended from beneath the roof at either end of the ground. The quality of the image shown on these screens are superb. Another unusual aspect of the ground is that it has a number of seats that can be heated in cold weather.
Outside the main entrance are three statues; Jock Stein (former Manager), Jimmy Johnstone (Former player) and Brother Walfrid who founder the Club in 1888. In December 2015 a fourth statue was unveiled of former player and club manager; Billy McNeill. Billy is shown holding the European Cup aloft.
In the Summer of 2016 a new safe standing area was introduced into Celtic Park. Located in one corner in-between the Lisbon Lions and North Stands, in can accommodate 2,600 fans (see below for more information).
Celtic have become the first major club in the country to introduce a 'safe standing' area at Celtic Park. Based on the rail seating system used at some Bundesliga stadiums, then an area has been created in the lower tier of the North East corner of the stadium. This area which can accommodate 2,600 fans, has both seats and stanchions running across each row. For domestic games the seats will be locked back out of the way and fans will be able to stand and use the stanchions (rails) to lean against if they so wish. For European games where there is a requirement for fans to sit, then the seats can be unlocked for use. If this safe standing area proves to be successful, then many more Clubs will wish to follow suit, as it allows them to relatively easily and cheaply increase the ground capacity, as the standing areas normally accommodate more fans than if they were all seated. Plus it is hoped that by allowing fans to stand, it will boost the atmosphere generated within the stadium and improve the overall matchday experience for supporters.
Away fans are housed in the lower corner of the Lisbon Lions Stand at one end of the ground. The views of the playing action and the facilities provided within this stand are adequate, although it should be noted that there are a number of restricted view seats in the away section, for which the club charge a lower admission fee. There are also betting facilities available within the ground. The atmosphere within Celtic Park is normally superb and it is a great stadium to watch football in.
As would be expected most bars around the Parkhead area, are partisan & particularly busy. It is probably best to drink in the city centre beforehand. However most of these bars will not serve fans wearing football colours.
If you require hotel accommodation in Glasgow, then first try a hotel booking service provided by Late Rooms. They offer all types of accommodation to suit all tastes and pockets from; Budget Hotels, Traditional Bed & Breakfast establishments to Five Star Hotels and Serviced Apartments. Plus their booking system is straightforward and easy to use. Yes this site will earn a small commission if you book through them, but it will go to help with the running costs of keeping the Guide going. The Hotels listing also includes details of how far away the accommodation is located from Celtic Park (shown as distance from Centre on the hotels listing)..
Access their Glasgow Hotels and Guest Houses pages.
The ground is on the East side of Glasgow on the A74 (London Road).
From The South:
Leave the M74 at Junction 2A (signposted A74 Tollcross/Rutherglen). At the bottom of the slip road at the roundabout turn right towards Tollcross A74. You will then reach a set of traffic lights (with a McDonalds on the right hand side) where you bear left onto the A74 towards Glasgow City Centre. After just under two miles you will reach Celtic Park on your right hand side.
From The North and East:
Leave the M8 at Junction 8 and follow the M73 South towards Carlisle. At the end of the M73 join the M74 northbound towards Glasgow. Leave the M74 at Junction 2A then from as South above.
There is plenty of street parking to be had, especially in the side streets off the London Road going down towards the A74. Don't be surprised though, as you get out of your car, that some kid appears uttering the words 'mind yer car mister?'
Glasgow Central and Queens Street railway stations are around a 30 minute walk away from the ground. Probably best to jump in a taxi (about £5). Otherwise if you arrive at Glasgow Central you can take a local train to Dalmarnock station which is about a ten minute walk away from the ground. Paul Boyd provides the following directions to the ground; 'As you come out of the station entrance, turn right and proceed to the end of the road. Turn left into Dalmarnock Road and proceed up to the traffic lights at the junction with Mill Street. Turn right at those lights into Mill Street and proceed all the way along Mill Street until you reach the traffic lights at London Road (at the junction with the Police Station). From there, you turn right and Celtic Park is around 250 yards up the road on the left hand side'.

Billy captained the Celtic side that won the European Cup in 1967.

Celtic v Manchester City
Champions League Group Stage
Wednesday 28th September 2016, 7.45pm
Steve Welch (Manchester City fan)
Why were you looking forward to this game and visiting Celtic Park?
I had never been to Celtic Park before, and I was anticipating a great atmosphere inside the stadium.
How easy was your journey/finding the ground/car parking?
It was dead easy using Sat Nav. We had pre-booked a private parking space about a mile away from Celtic Park, but handy for the motorway.
What you did before the game pub/chippy etc, and were the home fans friendly?
We had to collect our tickets beforehand in the City Centre, where we had to queue for around 40 minutes. Not good when you are parked on a meter! Found the home fans friendly with not a hint of trouble.
What you thought on seeing the ground, first impressions of away end then other sides of Celtic Park?
I thought that Celtic Park was very impressive, with the high stands. The fans were very noisy especially before the game.
Comment on the game itself, atmosphere, stewards, pies, facilities etc..
The game had to be one of the best attended, tremendous atmosphere from the home fans even when we scored they were still singing. Stewards were friendly to the point that City fans who didn't stand in the right area were eventually left alone as the stewards failed in their attempt to get them to move. Didn't get anything inside the ground but a burger from a burger van.
Comment on getting away from the ground after the game:
After walking the mile back to the car, was the inevitable delay with traffic due to the high attendance.
Summary of overall thoughts of the day out:
Will be looking forward to the next time we play them, might even wear my colours next time. I was a bit apprehensive wearing them as I was told you had to go past their end to get to ours.
Celtic v Heart Of Midlothian
Scottish Premier League
Sunday 7th October 2012, 3pm
Connor Cunningham (Hearts fan)
1. Why you were looking forward to going to Celtic Park? (or not as the case may be):
Although the majority of Hearts fans don't like coming here, I've always liked Celtic Park. It's of course the biggest stadium in the country, and it's also a class above the rest. I'd been here on two previous occasions prior to this match, and although I didn't have good footballing experiences, I thoroughly enjoyed being at the ground. With a number of Celtic fans in my family, I've always wanted to go along with one of them to watch a European tie at Parkhead (still wouldn't cheer Celtic on though!).
2. How easy was your journey/finding the ground/car parking?
On this occasion, I traveled with the clubs official supporter bus which leaves directly from Tynecastle. On my first visit I traveled with a Celtic supporters bus which parked fairly close to the ground. The 2nd time, I made my own way through on public transport. I've found on all occasions that the ground is simple to find. On the Hearts supporters bus though, we had to park about a 15 minute walk from the ground. I don't think this is the usual procedure but it's one long road all the way to the stadium so still easy to get to.
3. What you did before the game pub/chippy.... home fans friendly?
Hearts fans aren't very welcome in that neck of the woods, so unfortunately there isn't an awful lot on offer in terms of pre match entertainment. If you are making your own way through, then of course you can go to the city centre which is friendly enough, but I'm not sure on matchday restrictions. Some Hearts fans even go to Rangers supporters clubs if they manage to find one that'll accept them. All the pubs around Celtic Park are Celtic themed and full of home supporters so it's not really ideal for many away supporters, but some might be more welcome than others.
4. What you thought on seeing the ground, first impressions of away end then other sides of Celtic Park?
On my first visit to Celtic Park, I was fascinated once I got inside. I was only 13 at the time so was easily excited. Unfortunately, I sat in the Celtic end on my first trip and I was sat high up with an excellent view. Away fans are situated in a corner of the ground, much like Ibrox. On my most recent trip, it was a rather timid affair, but when Celtic Park is full and the atmosphere is good, it can be slightly intimidating. Especially given the hostile reception that Hearts fans are given.
5. Comment on the game itself, atmosphere, stewards, pies, facilities etc..
My previous 2 visits saw Celtic win both 5-0 and 4-0, so I was just hoping to see a slightly more competitive game this time around. The game was a rather poor affair which reflected on the atmosphere. There wasn't a huge crowd either, due to the early Sunday kick-off meaning that it wasn't a classic visit to Parkhead. Celtic won by a single goal, practically gifted by Hearts substitute goalkeeper. Other than that, it was a fairly scrappy game which neither side really deserved to win. Due to what's already been said, there wasn't much action between the supporters meaning the stewards and police were hardly active all day. What I will say though, is that on previous occasions Police and even stewards have been known for their rather heavy handed approach. So much so, that Hearts have even sent their own stewards to assist in the away end on our last few visits.
6. Comment on getting away from the ground after the game:
Again, it was that long walk down the road to catch the supporters bus. It wasn't the worst of results so it was a bit of an easier journey home to face. Hardly any traffic at all surprisingly, and with the game finishing shortly before 3, we were back at Tynecastle by half 4.
7. Summary of overall thoughts of the day out:
Not the best of visits but it hasn't put me off. The match was poor but the result was certainly an improvement of my previous visits. Was a fairly mediocre day all round, but it certainly could have been a whole lot worse.

i hoped that it will be from Equillibrum movie too. Maybe there will be class cleric with gun-fu i would love that:.
Anyway will it be action based like TERA or Neverwinter or classic tab targeted?
@weakCZ We are looking at that now. Right now the coders are working on the lock target system similar to Zelda. As I know more, we'll get the info out on combat.
We've been back and forth on the tab/tera type system, and are trying to come up with something a little different and more hybrid. I am impressed with the NW system, however.

Two men with extensive counterterrorism experience lambasted President Obama on Wednesday for not showing leadership following the Islamic State's deadly terror attacks in Brussels, Belgium, and for lacking the will to defeat the jihadist group.
Former mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani and former CIA and NSA director Gen. Michael Hayden both appeared on MSNBC's Morning Joe to discuss Obama's response to the Brussels terror attacks, which killed at least 31 people and wounded 250 others, and his broader strategy to counter ISIS.
The brutal attacks occurred Tuesday morning while Obama was in Cuba to improve ties with the communist state and its leader, Raul Castro. The president received widespread criticism for electing to attend a baseball game alongside Castro rather than return home to deal with the aftermath of Brussels.
Obama only dedicated 51 seconds to addressing the terrorist attacks in his formal remarks Tuesday to an audience in Cuba.
"What difference would it have made yesterday had [Obama] not gone to that ball game?" columnist Mike Barnicle asked Giuliani.
"It would have made people feel that he is the leader, that he is in charge," Giuliani said in response. "Here's what I would have done: Immediately left, gotten the national security staff together, and I'd say, 'When I wake up tomorrow morning, I want a complete plan on how we destroy ISIS. No BS."
"You don't think he has that?" Barnicle asked.
"Ha!" Giuliani laughed. "If he does, it's failing. You better get a new one."
Giuliani referenced the frequency with which ISIS has successfully carried out terror attacks around the world, most notably in Paris on Nov. 13, to show that the president's policy is not effective.
The jihadist group, which is based in Iraq and Syria, also inspired the massacre in San Bernardino late last year and a series of attacks throughout the world from the Middle East and the West to places as far away as Indonesia.
Barnicle pointed out that the U.S.-led anti-ISIS coalition has conducted over 20,000 sorties over Iraq and Syria, to which Giuliani said, "Well, maybe they're not working. Maybe the strategy isn't working. If he can't figure out that a strategy isn't working, we need somebody else to do that job."
Hayden echoed Giuliani's point, saying that "our current is plan is under-resourced and over-regulated. Too many restrictions, not enough resources."
The retired general explained that 20,000 sorties averages out to about 20 strikes a day.
"That is not a relentless campaign," Hayden said.
He then referenced Obama's decision to attend the baseball game in Cuba rather than address the terror attack, and he described it as intentional policy.
"I actually believe that in his heart of hearts, the president's policy is that is not that big a deal," Hayden said. "There are other things that are more important [to Obama], and that was what he was messaging."
Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough added that Obama "has been underestimating ISIS reach from the very beginning in calling them the JV team, and then saying that they were a JV team that had on a Kobe Bryant Jersey but they were still a JV team, and then the [day] before the Paris attacks saying that they were pretty much finished."
"It does seem to be a calculated approach by this White House to say ISIS is 'much ado about nothing at the end of the day,'" Scarborough concluded.
"In the long run, it's an approach by this White House to say that Islamic extremist terrorism really is not at war against us, when in fact, the prime minister of France was quite clear that they are at war against France, Europe, and the rest of the world," Giuliani added. "So [Obama] acts like this is another criminal act in New York yesterday."
This dichotomy was similar to the aftermath of the Paris attacks, which killed 130 people, when French President Francois Hollande described the event as "an act of war," and President Obama described it as "a setback" in the anti-ISIS effort.
"Obviously [the president] has the wrong plan, and he's got to change it," Giuliani said. "And you don't change it communicating from a communist country. And you don't send a picture of yourself laughing while people have just been blown up at a level that … is the equivalent of September 11th to one of our allies.
"Imagine if there was a picture of the president of France laughing during September 11th? How would we feel about that?" Giuliani asked.

Price Range (MSRP): $31,250 (CT 200h) to $88,880 (LX 570)
Lexus is the luxury division of Toyota, producing vehicles known for their quiet and refined interiors and comfortable rides. This year, Lexus has produced a new 241-hp, turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine and a new 255-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 engine, which can be found in 200t and 300 models across the lineup. The ES-series also received updated exterior styling and interior materials.
The CT 200h is the fuel-efficient, entry-level hybrid model in the Lexus lineup. It comes with a 98-hp, 1.8-liter 4-cylinder with an electronic drive system. It has a slightly lower base price point for this year.
The two-door RC-series sport coupe gains two new models: the RC 200t and RC 300. The RC200t is the entry-level, base model, which comes with the new turbo 2.0-liter engine. One step up, the new RC 300 has the new 3.5-liter V-6. The RC 350 and RC F also make their return. F Sport performance versions are available for all RC models minus the RC F.
While Lexus has discontinued the IS 250, the IS-series also gets two new models: the IS 200t and the IS 300. Like the RC, these models have the new engines and optional F Sport versions as well. The IS 350 remains available.
The ES-series is the mid-size luxury sedan in the Lexus lineup. The ES 300h and ES 350 models has a more dramatic appearance that matches Lexus' "L finesse" design language. Lexus has also updated the interior with more premium materials.
Looking for a more fun sedan to drive? The GS-series line of sport sedans has received an aggressive, front-end facelift. A new GS 200t model is available as well as the GS 350 and GS 450h.
The grandest of Lexus' luxury passenger cars is the flagship LS 460. It comes in standard and long wheelbases. It has received an enhanced infotainment system with full-screen navigation.
Entering the compact luxury SUV market, NX offers seating for 5 passengers. The NX 200t and NX 300h gain the subscription-based Lexus Enform Remote services, which include stolen vehicle location, emergency assistance, roadside assistance, and automatic collision notification.
The larger RX 350 has been redesigned. It features bold, aggressive exterior styling and additional interior color choices. Available on the RX 350 for the first time is the Safety System Plus, which can help avoid or mitigate collisions across a range of vehicle speeds under certain conditions.
For even bigger families, the 7-passenger GX 460 comes with a beefy 301-hp, 4.6-liter V-8 engine mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission and full-time 4-wheel drive. It also gets the Lexus Enform Remote Service for the first time.
The mammoth LX 570 has a refreshed interior that seats 8 passengers. The starting price is slightly higher for this year.

After the ashes and into Lent
What's ecological about Lent? Ecological, to me, is the great hope that culture is permanent and that nature will evolve and endure.
Sometimes we call this hope permaculture -- and call ourselves perma-culturists. We imagine a whole even though everything feels partial. We imagine interconnections even though we feel apart or set apart or disconnected. Isn't it funny that people used to call a new hairdo for a woman a "permanent"?

A Bivariate Model of Federal Reserve and ECB Main Policy Rates
This paper studies when and by how much the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank change their target interest rates. I develop a new non-linear bivariate framework, which allows for elaborate dynamics and potential interdependence between the two countries, as opposed to linear feedback rules, such as a Taylor rule, and I use a novel real-time data set. Although the data sample is inherently small, through a Bayesian estimation approach, I find some evidence in favor of timing synchronization between central banks and against the hypothesis of follower behaviors. Results for the magnitude model support zero correlation in the size of the target rate changes. Institutional factors and inflation represent relevant variables for both timing and magnitude decisions, while output plays a secondary role.

jerk in car as i drive it
My mustang just started to jerk as i am driving it..put new plugs.wires..coil
pack is less then a year old..before i did that i was running fuel injector
cleaner in the gas.Could it be it clogged the filter a bit?
4 Answers
Miles? Check engine light on? V-6?
I am having the same issue with my 2006 Mustang GT, 5-speed that has over 213,000 miles on it. I replaced the plugs last spring along with the inline fuel filter. The car has almost always had a hard jerk after stopping then starting when coming off of the interstate. But this new slight jerk/hesitation is happening during a bogged down acceleration, like when I slow to about 20MPH/1500RPM but keep the transmission in 4th or 5th. I took it to Ford and they said it was one of the original coil packs, so I had them replace it. That was about 2-3 weeks ago and the car seemed to be doing well until this morning, when it started doing the jerking/hesitation again. The Ford shop did ask if they should replace the plugs, too, in case they were fouled and I said no as the one coil pack and labor seemed like a lot of money to me.
Its a 4.0 and has racing equipment on it .not by me..has a racing clutch...racing air system...It did not start to do after i ran a few bottles of injector cleaner in it a few times
Only does when she is idling going down the road..if i give her peddle she smooth out intill i am idling again..car sitting still she runs fines

BOSTON -- After regular-season games, Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask usually waits for the media standing at his locker stall wearing shorts and a T-shirt.
That wasn't the case after the Bruins' thrilling 3-2 double-overtime victory over the Buffalo Sabres in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals Wednesday night at TD Garden. Moments after Miroslav Satan netted the winning power-play goal at 7:41 of the second OT period, Rask was sitting at his stall with only his upper-body equipment removed. He didn't have the energy to shed his pads, pants and skates just yet.
"You guys don't mind if I do this sitting down?" he asked with a big sigh, dripping with sweat.
The rookie netminder made 35 saves in the winning effort, and he needed to take a deep breath before every answer he gave during his postgame interview. It was Rask's first experience in an NHL overtime playoff game.
"It could have been shorter," he said. "I don't know what to say. It was really exciting. I thought both teams had chances, but by that point, it's anybody's game. Everybody's so tired that one little play makes a huge difference, and today we got that break."
The Bruins, in control of the series with a 3-1 lead, are one victory from advancing to the next round. They won Wednesday night on pure adrenaline.
Boston entered the third period trailing by two goals, but David Krejci scored on the power play at 2:07 and Patrice Bergeron netted the equalizer at 6:40. It was the second time this series that the Bruins recovered from a two-goal deficit.
"We don't want to get in the habit, that's for sure," Bruins veteran Mark Recchi said. "Guys showed a lot of character. I don't think we were that great early, and they played hard, but we got better as it went on and showed a lot of desperation when we needed it."
It's all about desperation once an NHL playoff game goes into overtime.
Few things in professional sports can compare to the Stanley Cup playoffs. It's not like the regular season, when games that are tied after regulation have only a five-minute overtime. If it's still undecided, a shootout occurs.
Not in the playoffs. The teams battle it out until someone wins and someone else loses.
Players are completely drained after regulation playoff games. Before overtime begins, the locker rooms and training rooms are beyond hectic. The intermissions are shorter, so trainers are running around passing out food, drinks, power gels, shakes and water. Players need treatment, too. They're retaped, and the IV bags flow.
"You just try to get as much rest as possible," said Bergeron, a Bruins assistant captain. "You try to get some food in you, bananas in you, maybe some bread and lots of fluids, water and juice. You don't want to move too much, and our trainers did a great job tonight."
Goalies might lose up to 10 pounds of water weight. Positional players will lose between 3 and 5 pounds, depending on workload and temperature.
"I just sit here like this," Rask said. "I have a drink" -- not a Kevin Millar kind of drink -- "and get focused. That's it. You can't waste too much energy walking around. You just get fluids in you and focus on the next period."
Equipment managers try to dry the players' soaking-wet equipment as best they can in a short time with commercial dryers and fans.
From a coaching standpoint, Claude Julien tells his players what they need to do to be successful. On Wednesday, he told his team after the first overtime that the shifts were too long and players were too tired on the backcheck.
"We had a talk about making adjustments," Julien said. "Go short. Go hard. It's just about keeping things simple."
The Bruins made it through on pure adrenaline, and it resulted in a huge victory.
Winning Game 4 on home ice and taking a 3-1 series lead was like finding a precious gem.
"These are special nights," Recchi said. "The playoffs are so much fun. It is so much fun being a part of and being on the bench and the emotions that go through a game -- all the ups and downs. I soak everything in, and it's fun watching the guys and being a part of stuff like this."

Crowding Out Or Crowding In? The Economic Consequences of Financing Government Deficits
The prevailing view of the economic consequences of financing government deficits, as reflected in the recent economics literature and in recent public policy debates, reflects serious misunderstandings. Debt-financed deficits need not "crowd out" any private investment, and may even "crowd in" some. Using a model including three assets - money, government bonds, and real capital - the analysis in this paper shows that the direction of the portfolio effect of bond issuing on private investment depends on the relative substitutabilities among these three assets in the public's aggregate portfolio. Since the all-important substitutabilities that make the difference between "crowding out" and "crowding in" are determined in part by the government's choice of debt instrument for financing the deficit, this analysis points to the potential importance of a policy tool that public policy discussion has largely neglected for over a decade - debt management policy. When monetary policy is non-accommodative, within limits debt management policy can take its place in augmenting the potency of fiscal policy, or in improving the trade-off between short-run stimulation and investment for long-run growth.

Veterinarian Ann Hohenhaus relates some stories of how animals weathered Superstorm Sandy, noting that their plight paralleled that of humans. Although New York City encouraged owners to bring their animals with them during evacuations, city shelters recently reported 141 animals still unclaimed in the aftermath of the storm. Dr. Hohenhaus recounts how other animals, including the Chincoteague Island ponies, marine animals at the New York Aquarium, and even two displaced brown pelicans, fared during the storm.

Beats Pro by Dr. DrePocket-lint
If London's 2012 Olympic Games are anything to go by, then there's no chance to forget about Dre. The hip-hop Doc's range of headphones have not only infiltrated a generation, they've made their way to high-profile athletes' ears too. Although, such fun and games has now been outlawed by the brand police.
Beats Pro - the cans that sit at the top of the Beats tree - claim to be designed for "sound engineers, musicians, and those who take sound seriously". Are Beats Pro the top-grade over-ears that they claim to be; and are they worth their weighty price tag?
Beats Pro are big, hefty headphones. But they also look stunning.
The white finish version that's in the Pocket-lint office for review has over-stuffed leather earcups and a leather headband. They're big, brash and unashamedly chunky, but those cups are incredibly comfortable.
The first downside, however, is the weight. These cans will weigh down on your brain; they don't pinch like a bear trap, but it's the mass that might be too much for some wearers.
But the weight can be attributed to tank-like build quality. The gunmetal aluminium frame is matched with steel build quality and, believe us, you'll struggle to mess up these headphones. They are solid.
The grand scale will suit many modern day commuters on the go, plus the pivoting earcups fold right back up into the headband area and can be stored in the included Beats Pro soft pouch.
There's some great detail too: the box includes a 4.2mm coiled cable with a 3.5mm twist-lock jack, which means it's possible to plug in to either the left or right side, or even "daisychain" to a second set of cans. Thanks to the locking mechanism it can be just as easily removed, to avoid unnecessary cable tangles. A 1/4-inch jack is also included.
The Beats Pro style won't suit all. If they look too big and cumbersome for your head then, well, they almost certainly are. But those looking for stylish, sturdy and oversized headphones will like the size. Our only concern: the weight. Oh, and the weightier £279-349 price tag.
Sound quality
The Beats by Dr. Dre brand is known for its bass-heavy approach, something that the Beats Pro cans certainly deliver, but with less dominance than some of the models lower in the range. And we don't mean that in a bad way: there's enough space for mid and high-end too, the kind of mix that producers and electronic music-lovers will be looking for.
But these aren't exclusively for bass-heads. The Pros dealt with a variety of music well: we listened to some Einaudi (modern classical pianist), acapella-like tracks by Counting Crows, and some funked-out rock by The Eels. There's bass, as there should be, but it doesn't sound like someone's cranked up the low-frequency EQ; there's enough room to give vocals, keys, acoustic guitars and the like room without over-enhancing their lower end. When the bass is needed it's there though.
However, physical positioning is crucial: the large earcups can easily slip around and, should they not be positioned well to the ears, then the sound can sound a little "off" or tinny in the mids.
The Pros certainly sound good, but these are headphones with an RRP upwards of £300. That's a lot of money. For the same price you could buy the lighter, better-sealed and ultimately louder Sennheiser HD25-II, for example.
We've tested one side by side to the other and the Sennheisers deal with volume far better than the Beats, the latter began to "crunch up" into a bit of a painful listen. Not that we endorse listening to music at that volume for any sustained period.
There's no doubt that the Beats Pro over-ears mean business. They look the part, and are superbly built - but they are ex-pen-sive and a bit too heavy.
It's not that the price is too much for a pair of headphones, it's the calibre of other headphones on the market that complicates things. There are cheaper and lighter headphones that sound just as good, but these might not come with the style and perceived image of the Beats range.
This is fashion meets audio in many respects. Some will love the Pros, while others will hate, but it looks to us that Dre is now way beyond just "representing gangsters across the world" - he's got chunks of the world's high-profile athletes and the public in his pocket too.

Today we live in a culture where celebrities are almost treated as gods. Their every move is documented by the mass media. The public seems to be almost mesmerized by these celebrities. The clothes they wear, the cars they drive, the places they go all become famous overnight. In a nutshell, any member of their adoring fans aspires to be just like them.
Our entire Western consumer culture is built on aspiration. People aspire to live in certain neighborhoods. They aspire to travel to certain places for their vacations. There is a feeling of keeping up with the Joneses. People take notice of the latest fashion, the latest trends, the latest gadgets and aspire to have them and to be seen as being "cool" by others.
How can a small business tap into this endless need that the public has to be "cool"? There must be thousands of niches that can be derived from this culture of aspiration that we live in. Some are really obvious like the fashion and celebrity examples I have mentioned above. Some aspirational goods have a very short life span of mere months and are really fleeting. The latest electronic video games are one example. Some are sustainable and will be around for a while. Lately the green and environmental movements have made major inroads into popular culture. This is one niche that could be sub-divided into hundreds of mini niches which would be easy to capitalize on.
The beauty of goods that the public aspires to have, is that cost is not as important as other purchasing factors. These products "must be had" and cost can be higher. The perceived value is not linked to the price, but to the feeling of owning the latest and greatest thing.
Just look around you. What do kids that you know want? What is being written about in popular magazines? What are people doing with their homes? What electronic goods are they buying? By answering these kinds of questions and taking into account your area of business, you can start to understand where new opportunities may lie. This is a different kind of market research, but one that is no different to the focus groups and surveys that the larger corporations do constantly to get a feel for where the wind is blowing with regards to their customer's needs and desires.
Currently slimmer LCD and plasma sets are the "must haves" in any household. So perhaps new styles in wall units and other complementary furniture, new sound deadening materials, new types of cabling, new types of sound equipment are areas that could provide opportunity. People will need product reviews on all this new equipment. People will need simplified "how to" manuals and the list goes on and on. All that one had to do was look around for the latest "must have" stuff and see where your business can fill a gap.
The whole idea is to follow what the public is following and eventually become the supplier of goods and services that the public has decided it "needs" and just "must have".

GM CEO Faces Recall Questions Carrying Corvair-Era LegacyTim Higgins and Jeff Plungis
When General Motors Co.'s Mary Barra begins Congressional hearings tomorrow as an emissary of what she's portrayed as a more responsive GM, she will face down decades of skepticism -- plus fresh indications that the automaker decided it would be too expensive to fix the flawed ignition switches behind several deadly crashes.
GM's history of contentious battles over vehicle safety stretch back 50 years to the Corvair. The automaker's reluctance to go public with costly fixes continued into the past decade as it studied ignition-switch failures in the Chevrolet Cobalt but declined to make them, according to documents released yesterday U.S. congressional investigators.
GM opened an engineering inquiry about the Cobalt ignition switch in November 2004, after customers complained the engine "can be keyed off with knee while driving," according to a problem-tracking system document obtained by House investigators. Four months later, the Cobalt program engineering manager rejected a change, citing parts costs and long lead times.
"None of the solutions presents an acceptable business case," according to a GM memo cited by the House committee that didn't identify the engineer. Gary Altman, a GM engineer, testified in a lawsuit last year he was program engineering manager for the Cobalt in March of 2005 and continued in the job until that May. The committee initially attributed the statements to a "project" engineering manager and corrected the title to "program" engineering manager today.
GM didn't immediately return a call seeking comment on Altman's role.
Hearings Focus
Such decisions are set to be the focus of hearings tomorrow in front of the House Energy and Commerce committee, and on April 2 in the Senate. Barra, GM's chief executive officer, is being asked to explain the handling of years of complaints linked to the ignition switches. The switches, when jostled out of position, led to stalling cars and disabled air bags, GM has said, linking the flaw to 13 deaths.
"Lives are at stake, and we will follow the facts where they take us as we work to pinpoint where the system failed," Representative Fred Upton, the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said in a statement yesterday. Upton's committee has collected more than 200,000 pages of documents from GM and 6,000 pages from NHTSA, it said yesterday in a memo.
Ignition Flaw
GM has recalled about 2.6 million cars following the revelations about the ignition flaw. Last week, it added 559,000 trucks and 200,000 Cruze compact cars to the recall for different safety issues, bringing the global total for this year to about 5.1 million vehicles. Lawmakers want to know why GM, though aware of the ignition problems in 2001, didn't recall the cars earlier.
Barra, 52 years old, has been CEO for less than three months. She has apologized for the slow response that resulted in deaths. GM has also hired an outside investigator to probe the delay and has created a vice president position in charge of global vehicle safety, as Barra has sought to shore up GM's image and reinforce the automaker's message that it's recreating itself after its taxpayer-funded bailout in 2009.
Bruising Fights
Still, Washington veterans aren't likely to forget GM's bruising fights with regulators and safety advocates such as Ralph Nader. Among the battles, GM has pushed back against claims in the 1990s that its side-saddle gas tanks made pickups vulnerable to explosions and tangled with safety advocates over changes to air bags.
"That's certainly what's on the minds of people who have seen these recalls in the past. She's going to take a beating over that, there isn't any question about that," said Chris Malone, a managing partner at Fidelum Partners, who has studied the effects of recalls on brands.
GM's regulator, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, is also expected to come under scrutiny in the Congressional hearings.
NHTSA passed over an opportunity to address the ignition-switch defect in 2007, when it opted not to open a formal defect investigation even after an agency official had said a probe was justified, according to an interview between current NHTSA officials and staff members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
Probe Justified
The chief of NHTSA's Defects Assessment Division e-mailed other officials in the Office of Defects Investigation in September 2007, saying owner complaints from 2005 and "early warning" data about warranty repairs and injuries justified a probe, according to the memo from the committee.
"Notwithstanding GM's indications that they see no specific problem pattern, DAD perceives a pattern of non-deployments in these vehicles that does not exist in their peers," the official said, according the memo issued before a committee hearing on vehicle defects.
NHTSA's internal recommendation was based on 29 complaints, four fatal crashes and 14 field reports, according to the House Energy and Commerce Committee memo. Those totals far exceed levels NHTSA cited in opening other air-bag defect investigations, according to the Center for Auto Safety, a consumer-safety group.
NHTSA chose not to open a formal defect investigation in 2007 after reviewing the air-bag data. In 2010, after a special crash investigation report was filed with NHTSA about a May 2009 Cobalt crash, the agency again considered a defect probe focused on the car's air bags. For a second time, the agency backed off after further reviewing data, according to the memo.
Investigation Unwarranted
Acting NHTSA Administrator David Friedman is scheduled to appear before Upton's committee tomorrow, and a Senate committee on April 2.
"As we have stated previously, the agency reviewed data from a number of sources in 2007, but the data we had available at the time did not warrant a formal investigation," a NHTSA spokesman, Nathan Naylor, said. "Recent data presented by GM provides new information and evidence directly linking the ignition switch to the air-bag non-deployment. That's why we are aggressively investigating the timing of GM's recall."
GM approved production of the ignition switch in 2002 even though testing showed torque in the part fell short of the company's original specifications, the part's supplier, Delphi Automotive Plc, told House investigators.
"We deeply regret the events that led to the recall," a GM spokesman, Greg Martin, said in an e-mailed statement. "We are fully cooperating with NHTSA and the Congress, and we welcome the opportunity to help both have a full understanding of the facts."
Default Approach
GM's historical default approach "is definitely to fight," said Joan Claybrook, a former NHTSA head.
"They have been very aggressive and I think it's always gotten them in trouble when they get too aggressive. They were aggressive with Ralph Nader and they made him a national hero," Claybrook said.
Claybrook herself recalls feeling pressure from GM. When the automaker pushed back in the 1990s at efforts to make changes to air bags after the deaths of several children, she said, the company helped orchestrate an effort to paint her as being responsible because she originally advocated for the bags.
"Not a whisper campaign, it was very overt," she said. "It takes a lot of time to fight back."
In an e-mail, the automaker called Claybrook's assertions "baseless."
Denied Reports
In the 1990s, GM repeatedly denied reports that gas tanks in 5 million to 6 million pickup trucks built between 1973 and 1987 were vulnerable to fire and explosion in side collisions. The company portrayed itself as the victim after NBC's "Dateline" admitted staging a crash test using an incendiary device for a report highlighting the issue.
"That was a good camouflage of the real issue," said Clarence Ditlow, executive director of the Center for Auto Safety. "One of the standard tricks they pull out is to create a diversionary tactic and to take the attention away."
The automaker reached a settlement in 1994 with the U.S. Transportation Department after then-Secretary Federico Pena said the automaker knew the trucks had a safety defect and failed to fix it or warn the public. While the settlement didn't include a recall, it required GM to spend $51 million in safety programs, according to the Center for Auto Safety.
GM Bailout
Years of frustration about GM came to a head in late 2008 when the automaker sought Congress's help to stave off collapse. Then-CEO Rick Wagoner endured multiple hearings in which he and other Detroit executives faced tough questions and criticism. While Congress balked at helping GM, the government ultimately spent about $50 billion bailing out the company.
Barra has adopted a less contentious approach than some of her predecessors, telling reporters that it "took too long" for the company to respond to the ignition flaw. She has also appeared in Web videos, in which she expressed contrition and sends condolences to families for their losses. GM has also begun an internal investigation into the ignition safety flaw.
"Mary Barra provides a strong voice to what drives today's GM," GM said in an e-mailed statement. "Our full focus and energy is on what we can do now to take care of our customers and make our safety processes world class. We are cooperating fully with Congress and the NHTSA to help them have a full understanding of the facts."
The approach has earned praise from such observers as Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, a business professor at Yale University.
Case Study
"Mary has jumped past that defensive, circle-the-wagons, over-lawyered response that is especially problematic for new people who haven't yet found their public voice," he said. "She is writing the new case study of how this should be handled."
GM's recent troubles seem familiar to Nader, whose 1965 book "Unsafe at Any Speed" famously detailed how the Chevrolet Corvair's design posed several dangers to drivers.
GM tried to intimidate and discredit Nader and was widely reported to have hired private investigators to look into his private life. Corvair sales plummeted after his book was published, and Nader's work led to NHTSA's creation.
Asked about GM's recent handling of the ignition flaws, Nader said "it's sort of a here-we-go again syndrome. It illustrates that the internal organization of GM still has very serious problems."

It is a turn very new and remarkable which the story of this chapter gives to the Acts of the apostles; hitherto, both at Jerusalem and every where else where the ministers of Christ came, they preached the gospel only to the Jews, or those Greeks that were circumcised and proselyted to the Jews' religion; but now, "Lo, we turn to the Gentiles;" and to them the door of faith is here opened: good news indeed to us sinners of the Gentiles. The apostle Peter is the man that is first employed to admit uncircumcised Gentiles into the Christian church; and Cornelius, a Roman centurion or colonel, is the first that with his family and friends is so admitted. Now here we are told, I. How Cornelius was directed by a vision to send for Peter, and did send for him accordingly, Acts 10:1-8. II. How Peter was directed by a vision to go to Cornelius, though he was a Gentile, without making any scruple of it, and did go accordingly, Acts 10:9-23. III. The happy interview between Peter and Cornelius at Cesarea, Acts 10:24-33. IV. The sermon Peter preached in the house of Cornelius to him and to his friends, Acts 10:34-43. V. The baptizing of Cornelius and his friends with the Holy Ghost first, and then with water, Acts 10:44-48.

ZnO Nanorod-based Early Biomarker Screening for Acute Kidney Injury. The objective of this proposal is to utilize recent advances in nanomaterials to develop improved tools for the detection and quantification of biologically and medically relevant protein markers. Our preliminary research demonstrates that nanoscale ZnO platforms, without any chemical or biological amplification processes, enable increased fluorescence detection of DNA or protein by a factor of 1000 when compared to other commonly used substrates. This superior optical nature of ZnO nanomaterials will be extremely useful as advanced biosensors and/or biodetection platforms for applications in medicine and public health. The planned research develops an effective method capable of directly assembling novel, arrayed ZnO nanomaterials with their optical properties tuned for optimal fluorescence enhancement. Subsequently, the proposed research will address the growing interest in protein marker assays, especially in meeting the demand for highly-parallel and miniaturized identification of early detection markers. We will develop ZnO nanorod assays for the sensitive and unambiguous identification of kidney disease biomarker proteins. Then, we will use the ZnO nanorod assays to measure several candidate biomarker levels in urine samples collected in a prospective manner from patients admitted to the medical intensive care unit of the Penn State Hershey Medical Center. We will also demonstrate that our ZnO nanorod platforms in an array format have a great potential for rapid, high-throughput detection devices that are low-cost and, at the same time, effective in screening for multiple markers in a parallel format. Our expectation is that ZnO nanorod based platforms will have vastly superior detection capabilities than currently available techniques. These results are significant because they are expected to lead to the development of sensitive, low cost assays of clinically relevant markers of human disease. This versatile platform will also facilitate detection of environmental hazards and chemical and biological threats.
Early detection is critical to reducing the morbidity, mortality and costs associated with disease. By developing a sensitive, accurate and efficient means for biomarker detection, this research will facilitate the diagnosis and care of individuals with a wide variety of diseases.
