abstract
We discuss the cosmological implications as well as possible observability of massive, stable, colored particles which often appear in the discussion of physics beyond the standard model. We argue that if their masses are more than a few hundred GeV and if they saturate the halo density and/or occur with closure density of the universe, they are ruled out by the present WIMP search experiments as well as the searches for anomalous heavy isotopes of ordinary nuclei. We then comment on the possibility that these particles as well as the monopoles could be responsible for the ultra high energy cosmic rays with energy $\geq 10^{20}$ eV and point out that their low inelasticity argues against this.

Vector-like quarks with non-renormalizable interactions
Dropping renormalizability in effective theories of vector-like quarks opens five new multiplet types whose widths can be so suppressed that the quarks become long-lived R-hadrons at the LHC.
