The Boston Athletic Association is offering runners of the 2012 Boston Marathon, to be held Monday April 16, 2012, a deferment for automatic entry into the 2013 Boston Marathon due to projected high temperatures for Monday morning.
Temperatures for Boston are forecasted to reach the mid to high 80's.
It's a nice gesture (and smart legal move) from the B.A.A. that hopefully some runners with medical and heart issues will take advantage of. However, I don't expect many will due to having already trained hard for this 2012 Boston Marathon and the many non-refundable travel expenses they've already made.
B.A.A. also announced that the couse will be open an extra hour to give runners more time to finish the race safely.
Grilk said the course will be kept open for an extra hour — until 6 p.m. — to discourage runners from over-exerting themselves.
All runners, running Boston and any race or training run, should be familiar with signs of heat stroke.
Those who do run, race officials warned, should be alert to the symptoms of heat stroke: confusion, headaches, nausea, vomiting and excessive fatigue. d'Hemecourt said runners experiencing any of those should stop running and walk to the nearest aid station to be evaluated.
The B.A.A. medical staff also warned runners not to drink too much water, which can also be dangerous. They should drink when thirsty and take slightly more water than they normally do when they train.
"Personal responsibility has to happen on Monday," race director Dave McGillivray said.
We all hope that the B.A.A. will have a safe and successful 116th Boston Marathon on Monday.
To those that are running, be smart, listen to your body, and pay attention to the heat stroke warning signs.
Remember those that have passed away during marathons and half marathons in the past year in lot less severe weather.

Within the past month, I was lucky enough to both observe and teach at two schools here in Italy. The schools that allowed and welcomed me as soon as I got there was the Vatican School which is private school that is located on the hill of Castle Gandolfo and Collodi Middle School which is a public school that is in Albano Laziale. The age group of students that I worked with for most the time was age seven and I also worked with the fifth graders in the afterschool program. An interesting comparison between American and Italian schools is that in Italy the teachers switch and move from class to class and the students stay in the room because they believe this helps the students stay focused and on task with their schoolwork while in America the teacher stays in the classroom and the students move from one class to another. The teachers in Italy are also more open to group conversation and do not mind if the students are talking to each other about what's going on in the classroom, when in America the students need to raise their hand or get called on to answer the question or say something about what's going on in the lesson.
At the Vatican School are around 300 total students at the school and it is about a 15 to 20-minute walk from our campus to the school. Some of the subjects the students learn at the Vatican School are Italian, Math, English, Science, Geography, History, Religion, and Reading. They also have school specials like Physical Education, Music, Art, and even a Dance class that they go to every week. Some of the classrooms have smartboards or projectors but the teachers rarely use them. The students also have either a group table where they do their work or they can use their own desk.
When I was teaching at the Vatican School I did a lesson with a colleague of mine about the different types of animals across the world because the age group we were teaching was the seven-year old's. We also showed them how to write their names in English and we wrote simple sentences for them to say and write down in their notebooks. It seemed like the students were having a good time with us because they were trying to ask us questions about our personal lives and America, and they were laughing and were always excited about what we were going to do next. It did not even feel like we were teaching because time just flew by when we were there.
I also enjoyed working at Collodi Middle School especially because my licensure area is Middle School Language Arts and Social Studies. At the Collodi Middle School I was placed in grades 3-8 which I enjoyed because it allowed me to see the different age groups and I also had to figure out a way to change my lesson plan up a little bit to make it easier for the students to follow and understand. I decided to teach a lesson about Thanksgiving at the Collodi Middle School because they do not celebrate it in Italy and I wanted to give them some knowledge of why Thanksgiving is so important in the United States. This was a great topic to choose because the students were very interested in it and we also compared American food to Italian food.
I also taught a lesson for the older students about America's government and how it works because of the Presidential Election was going on and both the teachers and students wanted to know where my stance was which I thought was very funny because I did not expect that question to be asked in every classroom that I went into. I also realized that the teenagers were my favorite age to teach because they are at that age where they are just starting to become adults and they are thinking outside of the box to try and find the answer. When I finished my lesson in one of the classrooms, the teacher pulled me aside and told me that I did a wonderful job with her students and told me to not give up on becoming a teacher because this is what I was meant to do. At first I was speechless when she said this to me because I was not expecting that at all and I thought I messed up a couple of times because I skipped some less important parts of my lesson and the language barrier did not help because the younger students had a difficult time understanding me, but after hearing those words it just made me want to become a teacher even more and I will never forget that moment. I am so glad that I could study abroad this semester with the education program because I truly believe that it has made me both a better person and future teacher. I cannot wait to have my very own classroom and have students come up to my desk and ask me all kinds of questions.

The Speak Foundation, which was started by a beautiful Christian lady named Kathryn Bryant. She probably never dreamed it would be this big, but oh man it has grown. How exciting to meet up and make lifelong friends with people who know exactly the things you go through from day to day.
It was so much fun traveling around downtown Atlanta, GA, or Hot-lanta as we Speakies like to call it, in our wheelchair posse. Even getting caught in the rain was fun! What's more important is that we now have friends around the country (and Canada) that we will go to visit. How exciting! I can't tell you how invaluable this conference was for me. Good thing 16 hours in a minivan without a/c at the beginning of August didn't stop us! While in the area, we had to visit a Diners, Drive-ins and Dives restaurant, The Silver Skillet. Good old southern fare, complete with grits and lemon pie! This place hasn't been changed since its inception in the 1950's. That goes for accessibility. Since there are stairs in the front, I had to roll (squeeze) through the tiny kitchen, past the fryers and all. What we do for experience!
If that wasn't fun enough, we went to the most awesome restaurant ever with the best sister in the world on the way back: Blueberry Hill in St. Louis. This restaurant seats over 300 people, and we sat in the darts room. Yes, that means real dart boards, for free! The boys were in heaven. I loved the variety of food as well as all the framed pictures of famous people who had passed through the venue. Chuck Barry still also plays there! What a great trip!
I love Angie! You are such an awesome lady and great friend!!!


The symptoms of asthma differ from person to person and aggravate or become better under different conditions. The conditions or factors that cause asthmatic attack to begin are called triggers. There are numerous homeopathic medicines that are used for different conditions but every medicine no matter how effective that might be, is not likely to cure every asthmatic condition. The medicine must always be chosen according to particular conditions of an individual. An inappropriate medicine might palliate for a while but will not cure permanently. There are over eighty homeopathic medicines that are used for treatment of different conditions of asthma but following are few of those that are commonly used but you must always consult your physician before using any of them.
This medicine is useful when the asthmatic condition aggravates in wet weather, cold in any form, cold drinks or food. The sufferer feels better during warm weather and after taking warm drinks. Asthma that can be cured by this medicine usually aggravates after midnight and forces the person to sit up in the bed because lying down causes suffocation.
Asthma usually aggravates in damp conditions of whatever nature. The condition becomes worse during rainy season. The person cannot eat even plants growing near water. Drinking even plain water can cause discomfort but always feels better in warm weather. Natrum Sulphuricum is very useful in humid asthma of children.
In both cases that match Arsenicum Album and/or Natrum Sulphuricum, the person should avoid taking cold drinks of all types, ice-cream, milk products and other stuff that tends to cool down the body. Almonds, dates and ginger should be added to daily diet.
The patient of this medicine usually has dry mucous membranes, and dry mouth with lot of thirst with or without constipation. The respiration is quick and difficult that is worse with every movement. There is lot of tough mucus in the trachea, which can be expectorated with lot of effort. Has frequent desire to take a long breath and expand the lungs. If these symptoms match with that of the person, even few doses would give excellent result.
This condition calls to avoid all acidic foodstuff, cinnamon, clove and all that creates constipation.
Very useful for asthma of stomach origin. The person always has some kind of complaints associated with digestive system. If you feel that bad digestive function is the cause of your asthma, treat that rather than the asthma. If your digestive system improves, asthma will improve automatically.
This medicine used in Mother Tincture has some reputation for asthma and is useful when asthma is associated with bronchitis with much mucus. It is not useful in all cases of asthma.
The best option is to note all the symptoms, even minor details, including the factors that aggravate the condition or make you feel better and then visit your homeopath for proper prescription. Remember that asthma is curable only if you use correct medicines and diet.

Annabel is een nummer geschreven door Boudewijn de Groot en Herman Pieter de Boer, dat in juni 1983 op single werd uitgebracht door Hans de Booij.

De plaat wordt gerekend tot de klassiekers uit de Nederpop. Boudewijn de Groot nam zelf in 1995 een eigen versie op voor het album Een nieuwe herfst, die eveneens op single verscheen.

Compositie
Annabel werd eind jaren 70 geschreven door Boudewijn de Groot en Herman Pieter de Boer. De Groot en De Boer hadden in 1973 voor het eerst samengewerkt op het album Hoe sterk is de eenzame fietser. Nadat De Groot enkele jaren in de Verenigde Staten had doorgebracht, kwam hij eind jaren 70 terug naar Nederland om aan een nieuw Nederlandstalig album te werken. Hij schreef het nummer Annabel. De Groot schreef eerst de muziek en bedacht enkele tekstfragmenten, waaronder de naam Annabel en de zin "Die zie ik nooit meer terug". De Groot vroeg Herman Pieter de Boer de tekst verder uit te werken. De Groot nam het nummer op in tijdens de sessies die zouden leiden tot het album Van een afstand, maar was niet tevreden met het eindresultaat en besloot het nummer niet op het album te plaatsen.

Versie van Hans de Booij

Opnamen
In 1983 herinnerde Hans Kusters, manager van Hans de Booij en tevens muziekuitgever van Boudewijn de Groot, zich het nummer en vroeg De Groot of De Booij het ongebruikte nummer mocht opnemen. Kusters liet het nummer, dat oorspronkelijk een licht rocknummer was, opnieuw arrangeren door Ruud van Es en Peter Kommers van de band Nova, die een jaar eerder de eerste plaats van de Nederlandse Top 40, Nationale Hitparade en de TROS Top 50 hadden bereikt met het nummer Aurora. Het tweetal bouwde het nummer in hun High New Street Studio om naar een synthpopnummer, waarna De Booij het van zang voorzag.

Het nummer werd veel gedraaid op Hilversum 3 en werd een grote hit. De plaat bereikte in de zomer van 1983 de 3e positie in zowel de Nederlandse Top 40 als de TROS Top 50 en de 4e positie in de Nationale Hitparade. In de Europese hitlijst op Hilversum 3, de TROS Europarade, werd de 13e positie bereikt.

In België bereikte de plaat de 3e positie in de Vlaamse Ultratop 50 en de 5e positie in de Vlaamse Radio 2 Top 30.

In de jaren daarna groeide het nummer uit tot een klassieker in de Nederpop. Het werd daarna toegevoegd op het begin 1983 verschenen debuutalbum van De Booij. Voor De Booij zou het zijn grootste hit blijken. De opvolger Thuis ben, dat op zijn beurt weer een synthpopbewerking was De Booijs eigen nummer Vermoeden van vrijheid, was op vrijdag 23 december 1983 Veronica Alarmschijf op Hilversum 3 en bereikte nog de zevende positie van de Nederlandse Top 40, de 5e positie in de Nationale Hitparade en de 7e positie in de TROS Top 50, maar met latere singles wist De Booij nooit meer verder te komen dan de Tipparade.

De Booij, die zich ongelukkig voelde in de gekozen muzikale koers, zette hierna in op een carrière als zanger van chansons en wilde het nummer niet meer spelen. Annabel zou een molensteen om de nek van Hans de Booij worden. Ook al verscheen er nieuw en in zijn ogen beter werk, het publiek wilde maar steeds Annabel. Hij zei zelf, dat hij een blokkade kreeg als hij het moest zingen.

In 2019 kondigde De Booij een comeback aan, waarbij hij aangaf nu vooral met trots terug te kijken op Annabel, dat hij ook weer tijdens concerten ten gehore bracht.

Op de B-kant van de single stond het nummer Dominique, dat een eigen compositie van De Booij was.

 Versie van Boudewijn de Groot

In 1992 besloot Boudewijn de Groot, acht jaar na het teleurstellende Maalstroom, zijn muzikale carrière nieuw leven in te blazen. Het oorspronkelijke idee om een nieuw album te maken met nieuwe teksten van Lennaert Nijgh liep spaak, doordat het Nijgh niet lukte met nieuwe teksten te komen. Hierop benaderde De Groot andere tekstschrijvers en ging in zijn archieven op zoek naar ouder werk. Hierbij stuitte hij op nummers die hij en Nijgh eerder schreven voor Rob de Nijs en Annabel en Vrolijke violen, twee nummers die hij in de jaren 80 afstond aan Hans de Booij en beiden door Herman Pieter de Boer van tekst werden voorzien.

De Groot nam met zijn band eigen versies op van de twee nummers met producer en arrangeur Jakob Klaasse. De nieuwe versie van Annabel sloot aan bij de manier waarop De Groot het nummer componeerde. Het nummer verscheen op het album Een nieuwe herfst en werd later, samen met het nummer Vrolijke violen op single uitgebracht. De Groots eigen versie haalde hitparades niet.

Versie van Maarten Cox
In 2005 zette de Vlaming Maarten Cox het op plaat. Hij was destijds zesde geworden in Idool 2004 en mocht zijn album Terugblik opnemen. Daarop een dertien covers. Op dat album staat ook Malle Babbe'', een ander nummer van Boudewijn de Groot, dat in Nederland een hit was voor Rob de Nijs.

Here is a great piece by Paul Clarke on the resurgence of apple brandy in the cocktail scene. Also, it features a cocktail that we currently have on the menu at Rickhouse. Its a play on the Brandy Milk Punch and I find it perfect for the holidays.
Combine all ingredients, except cinnamon, in a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into an ice-filled old-fashioned glass. Garnish with Fresh-grated cinnamon.


Using stranded wire (woven of multiple wires), these clotheslines give you more flexibility than solid wire lines, making it easier to use. Comes with 50 ft. of line and 6-1/2" pulleys. 4 lb.
A well made product. Better line than I can buy locally. Some instructions would have been handy, like put the racket on the bottom to use the spacers, but over all a good product.
Just like everyone else, I too love my clothesline. I had one already but it was rope and two small pulleys that I had done myself. Recently we took down the tree that my line was hooked to and I decided to buy a new one. This was easy to install and the cable runs very smoothly. All you need in one kit.
I LOVE using my new clothesline, especially being able to hang and take down all my wash from the porch. We have purchased the spacers as well, and realized as we were installing the line that if we put the tightener ratchet on the top at the far pole, as the directions stated, it was impossible to use the spacers (which are necessary on a 75 foot distance)! So we installed the ratchet on the BOTTOM line right at my end, and I hang all the wash after it and push it out to the far pole. I have also learned to put a clothespin after the spacer so it does not roll onto my items of clothing and get caught. I've learned several little tricks, and it has made hanging wash outside a pleasure again!
Love it: I have a 75' line... The pulleys are smooth and my children enjoy using it with me!
My husband & I just installed your premium clothesline kit (50 ft.) yesterday and everything works as it is suppose to. Looking forward to using the clothesline this summer. Thank you.
I ordered this kit to trade newspapers back and forth with my next door neighbor, without having to shovel a path through our Minnesota winters. It's perfect! I had envisioned the old-style pulley clothesline, and Lehman's was the only one to provide the entire kit. It does everything it's supposed to do, and it looks authentic, too. I love it!
Everything in this kit almost works great, but my husband is very disappointed with the ratchet. After getting it tight the center popped up and it all came undone. He ended up putting a hose clamp around the lock to keep it together to avoid it coming apart with clothes on it. Line roles smooth and show work well now.
We love our new clothes line kit. It had exactly what we needed. I also ordered the line spacers separately but we cannot use them with the kit. The kit has everything you need. Good product. Good price.
This kit is almost perfect. We did end up buying an addition adjuster my husband calls it a turn buckle. Lehman's had the best price of any place we found & we could not find any kits or parts to make a kit locally which would come close to the cost. In my opinion there is a slight learning curve for the best use of the line. Perhaps its because I have never used this type of line but I quickly learned to put the longest dry time items on first. We purchased the 50 ft. kit and I think the longer ones would be harder to use due to possible slack/sagging not to mention the space needed for it. We placed it outside the laundry room door & ran it up the hill. The location could not be better. I absolutely LOVE it. It rolls smooth, does not sag and appears to made to last for many years.
Great Clothes line.. I wish I had bought it years ago. Clothes dry faster on the line than in the dryer! Great serice!
A great clothesline kit at a great price. The screw eye hooks are a little small- I upgraded them to a heavier screw eye. The ratcheting tightner has a small handle on it- we had to use a tool to hold on when we tightened it. The pulleys and the line are solidly built and should last years. I'd buy this again.
My husband was sceptical, when I ordered this. He thought he would put it up for me, and I would seldom use it,but it has become an everyday thing, he mounted it off our balcony, and everyday I go outside with loads of laundry, I can stand in one place, in the shade of my porch, and hang out our clothes. Much more important, I found out within a month of looking at the electric bill, how much of a savings I was making. it pays for it's self within the first 2 month.With the cost of everything going up these days, every little bit helps. I love it.
This is the second Premium Clothesline Kit that I installed in 3 weeks. You don't need to torgue the clothline tightener with any tools. Using your own strength is enough. This kit is very much worth the money. I ordered a second kit to put on my screened porch on rainy days. If you do the math it costs so little more to just order the kit than to order the pulleys, clothesline or extra tighteners separately then you'll have the extra pulleys to have on hand or give to someone else. Love, love, love the clothesline kit.
Used one for years when the kids were small and I didn't have a drier. The line stayed taunt and didn't droop as long as you kept it adjusted. I always washed the line with a damp cloth to be sure the line was clean and never had a problem with it. Loved the way the clothes smelled. After I got a drier I still used it until the clothes were nearly dry and then put them in the drier and not only did they smell great but were soft and cuddly.
I like the quality, I bought enough for a 75 foot line bought only used 50 foot, I have tightened it with the ratchet as tight as I possibly can, and yet with wet clothes it sags quite a bit, I think I should buy the pulley system that prevents the sagging, but the reviews are not promising. I'll have to think this over to prevent the sagging. A pole would work but that would defeat the purpose of loading the clothes without moving from the porch.
I used this kind of line when I lived in Canada and it is fantastic. I would hang my clothes out and take them down just before they were dry and them place them in the dryer for maybe 5 minutes and they had the best smell and were soft. It was the best of both worlds and saved tons of money on the electric bill. I have wanted another one for years and now have the chance to get one again. I absolutely love them. Mine was on a tall utility pole and attached to the back of the house with a pulley so you could raise the end on the house to be sure the clothes didn't hit the ground. You just can't beat the pulley system.
I live in Suburbia USA so I do not have a barn located withing 200 feet of my house so I chose to attach it to a tree 40 feet from my second floor balcony. It was easy to install and is very sturdy, I am disturbed however that the components are imported from China, the next time I install one I will be sure to look for USA made materials.
Bought 3 clothesline kits for my backyard.The ratchet was well designed but cheaply made, the washer on the end of one popped off the first time I used it. The good news is it stayed tight because the spool in the middle was skewed, the bad news is that I can never tighten the clothesline again.
bought the 75 foot set, has bigger pulleys, works great, very smooth running.
I love our clothesline. We love the price even more. We did have a few problems setting it up but after a couple days break and an email to Lehman's, we were able to do it. I was so excited to hang our first load! I recommend this kit.
This clothesline has changed my life! I used to trudge down the stairs to the back yard to hang the clothes on a line between two trees. Oh, the miserable torture! Mosquitoes and chiggers would bite no matter how fast I tried to get the job done. Now, with this clothesline kit, I just stand in one place up on the deck and hang all the clothes from there. Wonderful, and very well made. Never found anything even half as good in the local stores. I've purchased three of these - two for us, and one for a gift.
We have had the clothesline kit for over a month and it is fantastic. It was very easy to install and very heavy duty. We use it to hang wet towels, jeans, and other heavy laundry. Would absolutely recommend.
What a great product! The pulleys are so smooth and the line is very rugged. I look forward to using it for many years. This is a much higher quality than any other product I've seen. While the instructions say to install the ratchet on the top strand at the end opposite of where one will stand to hang clothes, we have been satisfied with installation of the ratchet on the bottom strand of line on the end from which we begin to hang clothes.
Just got the 50' kit installed. Went up like a dream. My wife says that it works very smoothly. Should help out with the cost of drying clothes. Excellent kit for the money.
I ordered this for the back yard when we finish it this summer. I am so impressed! I did get more line than I needed, but this way, I have some for the basement. :) I must say, this is not your average pulley system - they are burly! The clothesline will handle jeans, towels, rugs, whatever you need to throw (or hang) on it. I am so glad to know I can still buy quality products that work! Thank you for including instructions with the order.
I love the clothesline and how it works! My only complaint is that the ratchet portions are made of poor metal. My pliers took little pieces out as I was tightening and one of the little wings on the turning portion of one ratchet broke too. I think that there is room for improvement on this part of the product.
Fantastic product. Make sure to get the kit with the ratchet tensioner, it makes it so much easier. Also make sure to use the eye at the bottom of the pullies to keep them verticle, or sheets will twist the lines in the wind.
This is a great deal, all the parts together. And it works like it should. I highly recommend it as well as the clothpins Lehmans sells, heavy duty!
I'm crazy about my pulley clothes line. It's right off my deck so I don't even have to walk into the yard. We've had it for years and still works like the day we purchased it.
This is a great product. Easy to install, and the wheels are extremely smooth. The line is heavy duty. I could not piece the same quality clothes line together for cheaper.
I went back and forth on getting this kit, trying to decide if I wanted to cobble together my own clothesline from separate parts at the hardware store to try and save a few dollars. In the end, I went with this kit and am quite happy with it. The line itself is extremely high quality steel cable with a heavy plastic/rubber coating. The pulleys actually have ball bearings and run very smoothly. The only nitpick I have is with the tensioner. It is cast aluminum and I was afraid to crank it too tightly for fear of breaking the handle off, but was able to get the line sufficiently taut. Best of all, my wife is happy with her fancy and functional new clothesline!
My husband set this up for me last weekend. We've been married for 14 years, and I've never used a clothesline during that time. I will never buy a different one. I LOVE my clothesline. I've enjoyed using it, and doing laundry has become much less of a chore and much more of a joy.
Thank you for my recent order of 50' clothesline kit. It is outstanding quality. I love to hang clothes out, even have been known to shovel snow out from under my line, so I can hang out clothes in March or April. I am going to put this to good use. Thanks again for the excellent quality & fast handling & shipping.
I absolutely love this product. My husband installed it on a post off our deck way up into a maple tree...our clothes happily flap dry in the breeze and all I have to do is take a few steps onto the porch to bring them in and out! Lovely! Holds plenty of weight...our second season with it and no complaints! I bought two spacers to go with ours and an extra set up line as we have a long distance to cover.
This is an excellent product.I have had clothes lines for about 30 years and this is the first one that the does not stretch and droop when it is filled with clothes.I was pleased with how smooth and quiet it was during hanging clothes out. Also the coated wire will not stain the clothes.
The plastic coated line was to thick to pass through the rachetin a manner shown in the directions. I bought a smaller gauged line and the system works great.
When our original clothesline broke, I went to local big box hardware stores, small hardware stores, etc. to try to replace it. There was no one stop shopping, and I never could find the twist type cable joiner. So I thought, What about the masters of non-electric technology, Lehman's? I went on the website, and even with shipping and taxes, the clothesline kit was about $10-$15 cheaper than anything else I could piece together, without the hassle! It has worked great, and was really easy to install.
I LOVE my new clothes line. It works great and was easy to install!!
Thanks for putting the instructions up on your website. I love my clothesline!
Doesn't come with instructions. Like Post type and depth, how much line to feed into the ratchet, does ratchet go on top or bottom. No doubt I will figure it out. Even a picture would have been helpful. By chance I read the detail about the pulley and found the purpose of the eyelet.

The new round of experiments at the LHC accelerator began in 2015 searching for particles at the frontiers of theoretical physics. And this past summer, the European particle physics laboratory CERN announced the discovery of the pentaquark, an exotic new particle that has been hunted for using data obtained during the first round of the LHC (2010-2013) and whose existence was already predicted more than 50 years ago by Murray Gell-Mann.
Murray Gell-Mann in 2012. Credits: Melirius
In 1964 Gell-Mann solved the complex puzzle of subatomic particles with his standard model, which earned him the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1969. His model explained the nature of the then-known particles and suggested the possibility of more complex and exotic particles, such as the one recently discovered. Since that time the pentaquark has only been a hypothesis, but now that it seems to be a reality, scientists hope that their research will allow for a better understanding of neutron stars and the strong nuclear force (one of the four fundamental forces of nature).
For the moment, the pentaquark is the new piece of Gell-Mann's puzzle. «In the 1950s many new particles were detected that no one knew how to classify, and my only wish was to solve that puzzle,» once explained the physicist, who turned 86 on September 15. Murray Gell-Mann wanted to bring order to the zoo of subatomic particles that physicists discovered after splitting the atom.
Murray Gell-Mann "borrowed" the word "quark" from James Joyce's novel "Finnegans Wake":
Three quarks for Muster Mark!
Sure he has not got much of a bark
And sure any he has it's all beside the mark.
In this context, "quark" is an onomatopoeia representing the gull's cry. That was precisely what Gell-Mann was looking for: a meaningless word without a fixed spelling. Besides, the number "three" in Joyce's text fitted with the fact that quarks combine in threes to form baryons (like protons and neutrons).
In the years that followed, hundreds of new forms of matter sowed an exciting confusion among scientists. But when the Jewish physicist began to put forward his model, he had to face a lot of reticence as not everyone welcomed his idea that protons and neutrons had to be composed of a new type of particle, which he called quarks.
'Quarks': even more elementary particles
There were three main reasons why some scientists were wary of the new particles proposed by Gell-Mann. For one, it was believed that protons and neutrons were elementary particles, i.e., they were not composed of other smaller particles. At the same time, quarks are permanently trapped inside other particles and cannot be found alone. And finally, everyone believed that the electric charge must be whole; electrons have a charge of -1 and protons +1, while quarks must have fractional charges (1/3, 2/3 etc.).
However, Gell-Mann proved that he was right, and because of his work, and that of many other researchers, it was possible to develop what is now known as the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Thanks to this theory, not only did it become possible to classify and sort all the new particles, but a framework was established that predicted which particles could exist among all the possible combinations with the six types of quarks that the theory specified. Gell-Mann had not only solved the puzzle, he had done so without having all the pieces and by predicting the pieces that were still missing.
It was then decided that the particles that were composed of two quarks would be called mesons, while those of three quarks would be given the name baryons. The latter category includes, for example, protons and neutrons. Thus, over the last decades, most of the particles predicted by the theory have been discovered. However, some of them are still hard to find because of their exotic nature, and among them is the pentaquark.
A strange combination of matter and antimatter
As its name suggests, the pentaquark is made up of 5 quarks, something quite exotic when you consider that most of the observed particles are composed of 2 or 3 quarks. As already mentioned, the standard model establishes a set of rules for forming particles through the combination of quarks. If we follow these rules, a priori one of the most likely combinations contains 4 quarks and an antiquark.
Two possibilities for grouping five quarks: a pentaquark (left) or a "molecule" meson-baryon. Credit: Headbomb, Smurrayinchester
This is precisely the combination that was detected this July in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Scientists have detected a particle that fits quite well with what is expected of a pentaquark. To detect it, researchers studied the disintegration of a particle that can be broken in several different ways. One possibility is for it to disintegrate into a pentaquark plus one other particle, and the data have shown, without question, that indeed there has been a disintegration of this type. However, it is not yet known whether this particle is really a pentaquark or rather a "molecule" composed of a baryon, with three quarks bound together on one side, and a meson, with a quark/antiquark pair on the other side. The odd thing about this case is that this discovery occurred accidentally, as the experiment in which it was observed was not originally designed for this purpose.
Coincidence or not, it seems that, more than five decades later, the experiments have once again proven that Gell-Mann was right. Maybe that is why this physicist once said, paraphrasing Newton, «if I have seen further than others, it is because I am surrounded by dwarves.» Anyone would think that this sentence was hiding an egocentric and even somewhat pretentious personality. But the reality is that Gell-Mann uttered this phrase with the smug satisfaction of knowing that, 50 years later, he is still right. At the end of the day, nobody can deny that thanks to him the subatomic puzzle was solved.

H9N2 viruses have circulated in domestic poultry in Mainland China since 1994, and an inactivated vaccine has been used in chickens to control the disease since 1998. The present study analyzed 27 H9N2 avian influenza viruses that were isolated from chickens Blouson Belstaff Robert Downey and ducks from 1996 to 2002. Infection studies indicated that most of the viruses replicate efficiently but none of them is lethal for SPF chickens. However, these viruses exhibit different phenotypes of replication in a mouse Belstaff Soldes model. Five viruses, including 4 early isolates and one 2000 isolate, are not able to replicate in mice; 14 viruses replicate to moderate titers in mouse lungs and cause less than 5% weight loss, while other 8 viruses could replicate to high titers in the lungs and 7 of them induce 10–20% weight loss of the mice on day 5 after inoculation. Most of the viruses isolated after 1996 are antigenically different from the vaccine strain that is currently used in China. Three viruses isolated in central China in 1998 are resistant to adamantanes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that all of the viruses originated from CK/BJ/1/94-like virus and Belstaff Classic Tourist Trophy Beige formed multiple genotypes through complicated reassortment with QA/HK/G1/97-, CK/HK/G9/97-, CK/SH/F/98-, and TY/WI/66-like viruses. This study is a description of the previously uncharacterized H9N2 avian influenza viruses recently circulating in chickens and ducks in Mainland China. Our findings suggest that urgent attention should be paid to the control of H9N2 influenza viruses in animals and to the human's influenza pandemic preparedness.


Mike Dunleavy put up career numbers last season and said Wednesday it wouldn't have happened if he still were a Warrior.
"That wasn't possible out there," said Dunleavy, referring to Oakland. "It's no coincidence so many guys who come from Golden State go elsewhere and succeed. The proof is in the pudding. I take responsibility for certain things. You look at guys who went elsewhere after leaving Golden State, they found a way. Whatever that means or says, you could read it through."
Dunleavy hasn't played this season because of a sore right knee but said he still hopes to play a significant number of games "and pick up where I left off."
He's coming off his first full season in Indiana, and the Pacers' style apparently suits him. His 19.1 points per game in 2007-08 nearly doubled his career average for his first five seasons. He also had career highs in assists and steals and shooting percentages from the floor, three-point arc and free-throw line.
Asked what he was doing differently in his breakout season compared with his Warriors years, Dunleavy said, "Dribbling, shooting, passing, not standing in the corner - but being able to make plays and do things I'm good at, the reasons they drafted me."
Evidently, the Jan. 17, 2007, trade to the Pacers was a good career move.
"That would be an understatement," said Dunleavy, the third overall draft pick in 2002. "It's too bad (a higher level of success) didn't happen a little sooner. But I enjoyed living in the Bay Area, and I'm happy to be with the Pacers now and hoping to help this team get back to where it once was."
Troy Murphy (11.4 points, 11.1 rebounds), who accompanied Dunleavy in the trade, had a stomach virus and didn't suit up.
Ellis transaction: Before Friday's game in Atlanta, Monta Ellis must be removed from the suspended list and placed on the inactive list - his suspension was for 30 games, four in the preseason and 26 in the regular season. To create space, the team must trim one player.
Mike Dunleavy had a career season in 2007-08, his first full season removed from being a member of the Golden State Warriors.
"That wasn't possible out there," Dunleavy told the San Francisco Chronicle this week with the Warriors in town when asked about his success with the Pacers. "It's no coincidence so many guys who come from Golden State go elsewhere and succeed. The proof is in the pudding. I take responsibility for certain things. You look at guys who went elsewhere after leaving Golden State, they found a way. Whatever that means or says, you could read it through."
What does that pudding look like and more importantly, who is in it?
Historically that has always seemed to be the case for the Warriors, but is it true for the players that played with Dunleavy?
- Gilbert Arenas signed with Washington after the 2002-03 season in which he was named the NBA's Most Improved Player. During that first season with the Wizards, his offensive rating dropped from 108 to 98, while his shooting percentage and assist rate dropped.
But over the next three seasons he became an All-Star and one of the NBA's best perimeter scorers.
- Troy Murphy put up better numbers with the Warriors than the Pacers after the trade in 2007, but the 07-8 season was a career year in which his true shooting percentage reached a career high of 57.3% while he wasn't counted on to carry such a huge load on the glass.
- Antawn Jamison hasn't been asked to be a team's primary scorer since leaving the Warriors and he became an All-Star because of that. He became a more efficient scorer and was able to play his unique style at the power forward position mostly unfettered.
- Speedy Claxton played 106 games with the Warriors and was at his best during that time. He kind of had a mirage of a great season with the Hornets in 05-06 as Chris Paul's backup, which led to a big contract from Atlanta.
- Jason Richardson had his best scoring season in 07-08 with Charlotte, but his overall numbers were slightly better during the 04-05 and 05-06 years with the Warriors.
- Erick Dampier had the finest season of his career in 2003-04, which was when the Warriors attempted to hand over the franchise to Dunleavy. Dampier averaged a career best 13.7 points and 13.3 rebounds per 36 minutes that season. Dampier was initially a disappointment in Dallas during his first two seasons, but has been increasingly effective since 06-07.
- It is still too early to judge, but I can't see how the nascent of Baron Davis' career being anything other than the 06-07 and 07-08 seasons with the Warriors.
- Judging Mickael Pietrus in Orlando versus Golden State is also too premature, but he was desperate to get out of there a whole season ago when he was forced to remain as a RFA.
- Ike Diogu, Sarunas Jasikevicius and Patrick O'Bryant won't be members of any GSW fan club either, but two of them are barely in the NBA and the other went back to Europe. Marco Belinelli and Marcus Williams are on their way to joining that group.
Who is responsible for the apparent bitterness from Dunleavy?
He and Chris Mullin always seemed to get along swimmingly, Mike Montgomery is too insignificant to mention and it has only become a recent phenomonen of Robert Rowell being anything more than a business guy.
Which clearly leave Don Nelson, who irks many young players and is beloved in rare, special instances.
He also has a history of players parting ways with him to go on to bigger success, with Chris Webber, John Starks, Steve Nash and probably most prominent on his mind Al Harrington, being the biggest examples, but any coach who has over 2000 games on the books is going to have these kinds of instances on his resume.
Dunleavy hasn't played at all this season because of injury and good for him that he finally delivered on some of that promise which made him the third overall pick in the 2002 NBA Draft.
It's not his fault that he wasn't Larry Bird, Grant Hill or even Chris Mullin while with the Warriors. Amare Stoudemire, Yao Ming, Caron Butler and Carlos Boozer are the only All-Stars to come out of the draft and if you were to redraft, those four plus Tayshaun Prince are the only players you would take over Dunleavy (though maybe Nene as well considering how well he's played this year finally).
But it's also not the Warriors' fault that Stephen Jackson was a better fit for Nelson's system and that kind of blanket statement against Don Nelson and the Warriors isn't fair and isn't wholly true.
Another article that says Nelson should kick rocks all the way to Hawaii.
I'm not a fan of Dunleavy, never have been, but truth is that he just didn't fit in with Nelson's style, BUT he also didn't with Monty, so the only explanation is that he either didn't try hard enough, just didn't like it in Oakland, maybe had a problem with one or more of the other players here at the time or the system in Indiana just suits him near perfectly.

I wish that was me. I would definitely love a pic with Mr.Oden. But no I just found it online and wanted to represent for my favorite NBA player personality wise.


"1. [Sin] endeavours to draw the mind away from a due appreciation of its own vileness and the danger that faces it."
"2. Sin also seeks to draw away the mind from a constant, holy consideration of God and his grace."
To paraphrase, sin deceives us by minimizing the sinfulness of sin and the greatness of God. Sin deceives us by drawing our minds away from both the truth about how wicked, vile, subtle, and dangerous sin is on one hand; and from how great, satisfying, ravishing, and liberating God's grace is on the other hand. Sin deceives us by causing us to overlook or excuse our own sins and by causing us to forget or neglect who God is and what he has done for us.
And note, the "sin" under consideration, which Owen speaks of, following Paul (see Romans 6), as an active force or power, is our own indwelling sin. It is what Paul calls "the flesh." Which means we're responsible for it.
How then does sin draw our minds away from seeing the ugliness and danger of sin? It does so, says Owen, by "a horrible abuse of gospel grace."
"The deceit of sin . . . separates the doctrine of grace from the intended outcome of it. From the assured pardon of sin, it concludes that there is no need to take heed of sin." Scripture, of course, warns of this repeatedly. See, for example, Romans 6:1-2, Titus 2:11-12, and Jude 4.
Then Owen gives three ways in which this happens.
(1) "The soul often needs relief from the gospel against a sense of the guilt of sin and the accusation of the law, so that it gradually comes to take this relief for granted. Having found a good medicine for its wounds, and having experienced the power of its efficacy, it applies [the gospel] less thoroughly."
(2) "The deceitfulness of sin abuses the doctrine of grace to extend the bounds of liberty beyond what God allows....Sin's plea is, 'The gospel provides relief from this over-strictness. Otherwise there would be no need for the gospel and nothing to pardon.'"
(3) "When temptations arise, sin will plead that there is no need for tenacious, severe contending against them. It will argue that sin will not ruin or destroy the soul because it either is or may be pardoned by the grace of the gospel....But when forgiveness of sin is pleaded as a reason to comply with temptation, it becomes a poison."

Many people want a natural glowing sun-kissed look, but using the sun to get it is a bad idea. Prolonged exposure to the sun—the kind you need to get a natural tan—causes damage to the skin due to its harmful UV rays. On top of looking tired and wrinkled before your time, sun damage increases your risk of developing skin cancer.
Fortunately, there is a huge range of products on the market to help you to get that bronze glow without any of the risks.
A spray tan is a safer choice, but sometimes you don't have the time or the budget to go to a salon and stand in a paper g-string while someone sprays you down.
The Sally Beauty Salon Bronze Airbrush Tanning System allows you to get a spray tan in the comfort of your home. It provides a natural color so you still look like yourself, and even dries fast to ensure that you don't leave marks on your clothes or furniture.
It's also scentless, which will allow you to forget that you're sporting a new tan even right after it's applied.
This tanning product is in high demand because it's also free of that tell-tale fake tan smell. You can enjoy slathering it on liberally without worrying about smelling like chemicals after you walk out of the house.
The Kiehl's Sun-Free Self-Tanning Formula has a thick consistency that isn't greasy. You won't feel oily or wet after it's applied. You can even apply it the same day you want to show off the tan! Its natural look offers immediate results in just an hour after it's used.
For a luxurious tan and a bit of indulgence, turn to the Dior Bronze Self-Tanner Natural Glow Body. It glides easily onto the skin and offers a deep color that will make you look like you spent several days on a tropical island.
The Dior Bronze tanner lasts for an average of four or five days. Use it throughout the year to maintain your glow and pretend you don't have a pale complexion!
Clinique's tanning product is streak-free and promises to never look orange. It even works to moisturize the skin to ensure that you look hydrated and flawless once the tint kicks in.
It lasts for up to five days so you're not constantly reapplying—or you can build up your tan with several layers for a deeper glow. Apply this bronzer in just a single layer for a more minimal skin tint.
Perhaps one of the most affordable sunless tanning products available, Banana Boat tan is the best fake tan found in drugstores, and doesn't appear streaky.
This product creates a realistic sun-kissed color that develops gradually. It's suitable for use all over the body and doesn't look weird and patchy, even on elbows and knees.
If you want to look like you're back from two weeks in the Caribbean, the Sun Laboratories Ultra Dark formula is the best fake tan to try. It offers a deep dark glow, suitable for those with already deep skin-tones. If you're a pale gal, don't try this unless you're already a tanning pro!
Sun Laboratories products are available in lotion, spray and roll-on forms to suit your preferred tanning method.
