Kentucky Derby Betting
The Kentucky Derby is one of the most popular horse races of the entire season and is known as "The Fastest Two Minutes in Sports" by many fans of the sport. The Kentucky Derby takes place on the first Saturday every single year in the month of May in Louisville, Kentucky. The race is held at the Churchill Downs Race Track which over its long history has become one of the most well known horse racing tracks in the world.
The very first Kentucky Derby Race was held in 1875 in Kentucky at Churchill Downs although the name of the race track was different at the time. It took until 1937 for the race track to be officially named the Churchill Downs, but it has remained the name of the track since. When the race first started it was a 1.5 mile track, but it has since been made into a 1.25 mile track which has been deemed more suitable.
All the horses in the Kentucky Derby are thoroughbred horses that are three years old. It's one of the Grade 1 Stakes Races throughout the horse racing season and is also the first race counted towards the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing. Every year horse racing fans from around the world anticipate the start of the Kentucky Derby because it's the first major horse racing event of the season.
Over the years there have been several different traditions that have been developed at the Kentucky Derby which have stuck with the race. One of the traditions is that spectators will always be able to order the traditional meal available at the Derby which includes a Mint Julep and Burgoo. It's also very well known that there are some traditional outfits known to be worn at the Kentucky Derby including lavish hats and handbags. Many of the worlds rich and famous make an appearance at the Kentucky Derby as it has become one of the annual social gatherings for anyone with connections and money. The winner of the race each year is also given a rose blanket which consists of 554 roses and is thrown over the horse after the race while the winner does his walk around the track.
Not only do the rich and famous watch the Kentucky Derby, but anyone can get tickets to the Derby although you'll be on ground level. It's difficult to watch the races from the ground level so if you want to watch the races you'll need to make sure you have seats in the grandstands. The Derby is always an excellent party and since it takes place on a Saturday there is always a huge crowd of spectators.
Every year there are millions of dollars wagered on the Kentucky Derby races and there is potential to make a lot of money. A lot of the time there will be some heavy favourites in the races which payoff although you can never count out any horse on a given day, which is what makes betting on Horse Racing so fun. The Kentucky Derby is arguably the most famous race of the season.

BENTON — Amy Bertram will be the new principal at Fairfield Junior-Senior High School.
Fairfield school board members approved her promotion from assistant principal to principal at their meeting Thursday.
"Seeing her do everything that Ben (Tonagel) or I asked her to do and to do them as well as she did, convinced me of how much of a quality person we already had," Superintendent Steve Thalheimer said.
Outgoing Principal Ben Tonagel sought Bertram out when the third administrative position came open last year, Thalheimer said. She has a total of five years of administrative experience, four of them at Prairie Heights. She also previously taught in Goshen.
"It seemed to me we needed to stay the course with someone who can continue the things we have been doing," Thalheimer said. "If we were to bring someone in from the outside, we would lose some of that continuity."
Bertram's contract will begin July 1 and her annual salary will be $84,614. She is replacing Tonagel, who is leaving to take the same position at his alma mater, LaPorte High School.
The third administrative role at the junior-senior high school will have a different look for next school year, according to a plan the board also approved Thursday.
The position will be an administrative assistant to the principal, not a full administration position. Thalheimer said it would be ideal for a teacher who does not have a principal's license but may be considering that path.
"It would give us the ability to grow our own leaders," Thalheimer said.
The administrative assistant to the principal would be in charge of attendance and discipline, and would not be evaluating teachers. It would be a teacher's contract plus 20 days.
Transfer students
In other business, Thalheimer explained to the board some changes in how the corporation accepts transfer tuition students.
The principals determined how many more students their building could accommodate at each grade level, taking into account current transfers, siblings of transfer students and children of teachers, and allowing some wiggle room for new students who may move into the district over the summer.
Applications are being accepted through July 9 for next school year at kindergarten through sixth and ninth through 11th grades. Grades seven, eight and 12 do not have any open slots. The number of spots available at each grade level is listed on their website along with the application.
In the past, school officials could turn down potential transfer students based on academic history or ISTEP scores, but now the only issues that can disqualify a student are disciplinary issues.
If there are more applications than spots available at a particular grade level, a lottery will be held at the July 11 school board meeting. Parents can list a preferred school, but it may not be honored due to class sizes.

When you sign up to take the Revised GRE, one of the only thoughts on your mind is whether or not the score you're going to earn is going to be good enough to get you into the school of your choice whether that's Harvard, the University of Michigan, UCLA, Florida State or the local school of your choice. You want to know what a good Revised GRE score is, and luckily, ETS has published the statistics that explain just that.
Average Revised GRE Scores
The Revised GRE uses a different scoring scale than the prior GRE used, but both scores are accepted up to five years after you take the test. On the new GRE, you can earn anywhere from 130 – 170 points in 1-point increments on both the Revised Verbal and Revised Quantitative sections. The reasoning behind the score change is that it allows greater differentiation between the highest score earners. On the old score scale (200 - 800), the 10-point increments didn't distinguish between the brightest and the best quite as succinctly. Someone who earned a 740 - 800 on the prior Verbal section, for example, was still in the 99th percentile.
The Analytical Writing section did and still does garner test-takers anywhere from 0 – 6 points in ½ point increments. Below, you'll see the average GRE scores for the Revised GRE exam for testers from August, 2011 – October 2011, the most recent averages reported.
- Revised Verbal: 150.8
- Revised Quantitative: 151.3
- Revised Analytical Writing: 3.7
Average Revised GRE Scores by Intended Major
Good Revised GRE Scores
Most universities do not publish the average GRE scores for all admitted students like they do for the SAT or ACT tests. Some, however, publish admissions statistics per graduate program. If, for instance, you're interested in majoring in an Engineering field in grad school and have a few top schools in mind to which you're thinking about applying, you could go to one of the grad pages for your field and find out the admissions statistics for incoming students. For instance, the average student admitted to Engineering at MIT earned a 750 in the old format, which translates to roughly a 169 in the new format.
If you have no idea where you'd like to go, but just want to gauge how well other students are doing who are considering the same major in grad school, you can check out the average GRE scores in the prior format based on intended major, and compare with the conversion charts to see how those scores would look in the new format. The chart is based on national statistics.
ETS, the maker of the GRE, publishes the percentiles of Revised GRE scores so you can see that if you're attending a top tier school, and you'd like to get in, you'd better be thinking about submitting a score in the top 1 - 2 percent of test-takers:
Revised Verbal Top Percentiles:
- 99th percentile: 169 - 170
- 98th percentile: 168
- 97th percentile: 167
- 96th percentile: 166
- 95th percentile: 165
- 93rd percentile: 164
- 91st percentile: 163
Revised Quantitative Top Percentiles:
- 99th percentile: 170
- 98th percentile: 169
- 97th percentile: 168
- 96th percentile: 167
- 94th percentile: 166
- 92nd percentile: 165
- 90th percentile: 164
Revised Analytical Writing Top Percentiles:
- 99th percentile: 6.0
- 96th percentile: 5.5
- 92nd percentile: 5.0
- 73rd percentile: 4.5
- 49th percentile: 4.0
- 30th percentile: 3.5
Good Revised GRE Scores and Admittance
For admittance, your GRE score is not the only thing a university is going to consider. GRE scores are taken into consideration, but your overall undergraduate GPA, major and minor undergraduate GPA, admissions interview, extracurricular activities, internships, and even publications and field work will all play a part in your admission. However, this exam is still huge. If your GPA is so-so and you don't have much experience, but you'd still like to get into a competitive program, then it's in your best interest to nail the GRE so your score helps mitigate an average application.How Prior GRE Scores Compare to Revised GRE Scores.

6 of us spent 6/1/2011 - 6/5/2011 at the Excellence in Punta Cana and all of us had a great time. This is not a perfect place but it is a great place to relax and gave a good vacation.
We flew with Spirit Airlines which was a HUGE mistake, unless you like being packed like a sardine. Will never fly with them ever again! Better to fly with someone else spend a few extra bucks to get a little more leg room. Spirit charges you for everything as an add-on.
Arrival in Punta Cana was good on a Sunday. Went through customs, paid our via fee of $10/pp, got bags, and got on our pre-purchased transportation to the hotel, and were off in less then 30 minutes. Excellence is about 1.5 hours away and we were lucky since we only stopped at 1 other resort. Our flight landed as 1:00 pm and we were at the bar in Excellence by 3:00.
Upon arrival, we were greeted with champagne and wet towels to wash our face and hands. Our luggage was whisked away and delivered to our before we got there! Check-in was pretty easy and took less than 15 minutes.
Excellence is a very pretty place with wonderful grounds, palm trees, fountains, gardens, and you feel like your in the Caribbean. It is also very clean and well maintained. I'm pretty picky when it comes to how a place looks and how clean the grounds are. They do a great job.
All of us had a "garden view" room (we stayed in building 9) with a balcony overlooking a topical setting with palm trees, small pond, and water fountains. Room was also very nice pleasant and had all the amenities, including a jacuzzi. Bed was big and comfortable (but definitely not the lush comfortable beds you'll find in Vegas). The mini-bar was stocked with cold drinks and beer. The only thing that we didn't like is that Punta Cana is a humid place and all of our rooms had a musty smell.
We headed to the beach and pool. Since we got there around 3pm, all the lounge chairs around the pools were "taken". As in all hotels and cruise ships, the "chair hogs" grab the lounges early in the morning, throw their towels on, with a token magazine, and claim them for the day. (Advice: stake out your lounges and pool side shady hut before 9:00). We managed to find a couple of lounges and a waitress quickly came over to get us drinks. Very friendly with a warm smile and an "hola". After a few "beverages" we relaxed and explored the pools. Swim-up pool was great. They allow "European style" on the resort.
There are two huge pools in Excellence that stretch across the entire resort area. You can grab a float and float around with a drink in your hand. Seemed like everyone was doing this. Pool area is also very pretty and well designed. At night it's nice just to stroll around since they are lit-up softly.
Excellence has a long beach and sandy beach with plenty of lounges and shaded huts. Cleaned daily. BUT THERE IS ONE SLIGHT PROBLEM: You can not swim or even go up to your waist in the ocean. The waves and under-tow it treacherous. I love the ocean and this was the worst thing about Excellence. Can't use the nice warm ocean water. We spent all of our time at the pools and just walked the beach.
The food: They have 8 different restaurants, with different food options: French, Asian, Mexican, steak, lobsters, Italian, Mediterranean, and buffet. All in all the food quality and choices are far above many on the all-inclusive hotels or some of the cruise. We had some real good meals and some OK meals but none of us complained about the food. We loved the table presentation, table cloths, and atmosphere in all of them. Most of them had great service and we never waited for more than 5 minutes to get a table for 6. It was very nice when the hostess who seated elegantly took the ladies arms and walked them to out table and pulled the chair out for the ladies to seat them.
We also enjoyed the morning and lunch buffet. They had a good selection of different food options and choices. No complaints from any of us.
Bars and "beverages": Great service at the bars with very friendly folks. The will gladly customize your "beverage" based on your preference in terms of how much alcohol you want in your drink. Portion control is optional when they pour a drink. A $20 tip to your bartender in the morning will keep you happy all day. While they do not carry the high-end top shelf liquor (such as Cabo Wabo, Grey Goose which happen to be my preferences), they do have good quality liquor options. Just ask for it and they'll use it.
BUT, every good side, has a bad side- IF YOU LOVE BEER, there's only two choices- Presidente or Miller Gold. That's it.
Entertainment: They have nightly shows. Mostly good. Don't expect to find Vegas style shows but their comparable to some of the shows you'll find on a cruise ship. Disco is small but very nice. We made two visits. First one was great since it was a Disco (80's) night and we fit that age bracket. We started the party and the place eventually filled-in with a nice mix folks with different ages. Second visit was a "dud", hip-hop night, with a few people, most people walked in, stayed 10 minutes and left. No-one wants to hang out in a place with 6 people. The casino is small with about 15 slots machine that pay a little but take your money eventually. A few tables available. However, not sure how the action was on them.
Over all, Excellence is a very nice place where you can have fun, relax, and forget about home wherever you live. Good food and drinks. Good Service for the folks. Good mix of tourists of all ages to make friends with. (And yes, no kids. I've raised a couple of my own and it was nice not hearing "Marco Polo" in the pool area.)

Questions about the gluons, their color and anti-color charges and charge of quarks
|Share this thread:
Mar12-12, 08:33 AM
I have been learning some stuff off of youtube, but I did not get a full enough understanding of how quarks have colors, and anti-quarks have anti-colors and how the gluons have to be colors and anti-colors and how it all works. Some of it doesn't make any sense.
The first question is about a red quark absorbing an red-antiblue quark and turning blue. I don't see how a gluon of red-anti-blue quark makes the red quark suddenly turn blue, not anti-blue, but I have heard that the quarks can only have a regular color and an anti-quark are the only quarks that can have an anti-color. "As a quark absorbs a gluon, it keeps its status as a quark or anti-quark. So what does that mean?
Also, if a blue quark ineracts with another quark of a different color say red, the qluon is transfered and the quarks swap their colors. This means that when two quarks exchange a gluon, they switch their colors, but what about when they are exchanging gluons that are like the red and and antiblue quarks? I don't even know how to address the question. And the question lingers, what about quarks and anti-quarks and gluons that are colors and ant-colors and how they relate?
The whole thing of quarks and anti-quarks exchanging gluons which have a color and an anti-color and how only quarks can exchange colors with other quarks, and anti-quarks exchange anti-colors with anti-colors, by gluons which have a color and an anti-color makes no sense to me.
Sorry if this sounds so confusing, but the reason is is that I am confused about it.
If there is anyone out there who would answer my question in a way that clears up the confusion, I would appreciate it.

Here's a diagram from Carl Brannen's site that explains it. Looks complicated at first, but shows it better than any other diagram I can find. Time goes from left to right. Color is conserved, which means that if you pick a red line say, you can follow it all the way through the diagram and come out the other side. Quarks are represented by single lines and have one color. If the arrow points to the right it's a quark, if it points to the left it's an anti-quark. Gluons are represented by wavy lines and have two colors. If you draw arrows on the colored lines in a gluon you'll see that one arrow points to the right (a "color") and the other arrow points to the left (an "anti-color")
At the left we initially have three quarks, red green and blue. The first thing that happens is that that the green quark emits a green anti-red gluon. The green anti-red gluon strikes a red quark and turns it into a green quark. And so on!
Mar12-12, 05:36 PM
Gluons can be also exchanged between a quark and an anti-quark. For example a green quark can emit a green-antiblue gluon (thus becoming blue) and the gluon can then be absorbed by an antigreen antiquark, turning the latter antiblue. This is a typical interaction within a meson - notice how the anti-quark both starts and ends having the anti- of the quark's colour.
In fact, in addition to the six gluons of the colour - anti-other-colour combinations, there are two further ones which can loosely be described as "neutral". Their colour combinations can be described mathematically as
[itex]1\ /\ \sqrt{2}\ (r\bar{r}\ -\ g\bar{g})\ \ \ \ [/itex]and[itex]\ \ \ \ 1\ /\ \sqrt{6}\ (r\bar{r}\ +\ g\bar{g}\ -\ 2b\bar{b})[/itex]These can be exchanged between any quarks or anti-quarks that have at least one of their (anti-)colours.
Even the above, however, is still a very oversimplified picture. To really understand this you really do have to have at least a basic understanding of the SU(3) symmetry group. There is quite a good introduction to gluon types and exchanges in "Elementary Particle Physics" by Alessandro Bettini.

Questions about the gluons, their color and anti-color charges and charge of quarks
These are the questions I have about your reply. I noticed that at the end of the reply some equations were written that I did not have the foggiest idea of what to make of them. You are much more advanced, so if you reply, make sure to keep it really simple. I have trouble understanding if only anti-quarks can have anti-colors and if only quarks can have colors. Im also confused with knowing when you know which color/anti-color gluons are used in order to change colors.
Red quarks emit a red-antiblue gluon and becomes a blue quark.
+red (+red + -blue) = +blue
Red quarks absorb a blue-antired quark and becomes a blue quark.
What is the equation here? And are their equations like this for all of the quarks changing colors? And am I right about what you are saying so far with emission and absorbtion of gluons?
Ok, I see that the gluons cant change any of the properties of quarks besides its color charge. Also, and especially important is that a gluon cannot change a quarks be turned into an anti-quarks. I know that particles and antiparticles can pop up, created in pairs, like when a gama ray with at least 1.02 MeV can create electrons and positrons. This is called pair production. Also the gama rays, when in pair production that is energy being turned into mass (or is it matter, what is the diff?),. The opposite is when anti-particle pairs at rest the annihilate one another they produce (I havent checked over my notes in a while) particles of pure energy like photons and energy.
In any case, that was a detour.
Now I know that only one gluon is exchanged at a time. However I am not sure how to deal with this twist that is mesons that are composed of quarks and antiquarks. Im still unsure most of the details about how colors and their exchanges from emissions and absorbtions of gluons work. I was already interested in figuring out more about how colors work with baryons and mesons, but I need more clarity about quarks, antiquarks, color and anti-color changes work and how colors change. So its going to take a while to get this figured out in order to understand how I can apply it to the hadrons quarks.
If you reply, please break it down really, really simply. This is a complicated subject and I am having a hard time figuring it out.
Mar20-12, 07:32 PM
I know that this is a lot to ask, but I am having an unusually difficult time learning about the strong force, and I see that you are very knowledgeable about this topic, enough to help me make sense of it all. I really need some help with this so if you could help explain it to me Id appreciate it.
I do not understand how this diagram works. I dont even really have words to describe the questions I have about it. Is this diagram a standard diagram of how all quarks exchange their colors? I see that the straight lines represent quarks with their different colors, and I can see how the gluons have color/anti-color combinations that exchange the colors between quarks in a way, but I still dont completely get it. I see that a line (quarks?) that point to the right is a quark, and that a line that points to the left is called an anti-quark. However, the only line that points left in this diagram is the green on the bottom right of the diagram which is part of the circle with the green and red quarks have their colors going in opposite directions. The thing is, is that I have heard from youtube.com that (as far as I can remember) only anti-quarks can have anti-colors and the part of the diagram I have just talked about right before this sentence states basically (when looking at the diagram) that there is one possible anti-particle in this diagram. Yet again, is this diagram a standard illustration? It doesnt seem so because of the fact that there is only one anti-quark in this diagram as far as I can tell. Also from the diagram and from what you have said is that Color is conserved, which means that if you pick a red line say, you can follow it all the way through the diagram and come out the other side. I dont see how this is, but then again, I am having a hard time making sense of this. I understand that the gluons come in color/anti-color combinations, and that has to do with the changes of colors between the different colored quarks.
You wrote this:At the left we initially have three quarks, red green and blue. The first thing that happens is that that the green quark emits a green anti-red gluon. The green anti-red gluon strikes a red quark and turns it into a green quark. And so on!
Then you can have a red quark emit a green anti-red gluon, this green anti-red gluon is then absorbed by a green quark and turn it red, but how do you deal with the place where there is a green anti-quark in the diagram.
Also, how do you follow each one of the colors, one at a time through the diagram, from the left to the right, how is color charge conserved, and in what way does the conservation of color charge resemble the conservation of electric charge?

WilliamJ, There's no special significance to the diagram that Brannen drew. It's just a random sample of what might happen, consistent with the rules. Three quarks are incoming on the left, three quarks are outgoing on the right. So it depicts a proton that comes in, bounces around awhile, and then continues on its way. It would be more interesting to show a proton emitting a pion or something, but I couldn't find any like that.
You're right, there's only one anti-quark in the picture, the green one at the loop marked A. Green moving to the left is called 'anti-green'. Inside each of the gluons there is one line moving to the right (the color) and another one moving to the left (the anti-color).
Mar21-12, 04:56 PM
As you may have guessed, a red-antiblue gluon is just the antiparticle of the blue-antired one.
A further twist is that, unlike photons which carry no electric charge, gluons carry colour charges so can also interact with other gluons. For example a red-antiblue gluon can emit a red-antigreen gluon and in doing so become green-antiblue. This makes a huge difference to the physical phenomena that result from the strong force, and is ultimately the reason why quarks and anti-quarks are always confined within hadrons, and can never be observed alone.
Mar24-12, 11:28 PM
Gluons come in antiparticles. For example, red-antiblue gluon in the antiparticle of the blue anti-red.
Red quarks emit a red-antiblue gluon and becomes a blue quark.
1) +red - (+red + -blue) = +blue
Red quarks absorb a blue-antired quark and becomes a blue quark
2) +red + ( -red + +blue) = +blue
What happens to the opposite of 1), where the red quark emits the gluon, when the scenario turns into absorption.
What happens to the opposite of 2), where the red quark absorbs the gluon, when the scenario is turned into emission.
Are in this example between 1 and 2, do gluons and anti-gluons such the same even if the emission or absorption change I mentioned
I see that a gluon of a color-anticolor can cause a quark and its antiquark, like up and anti-up and down and anti-down, etc. The antiquarks get the anticolors and the regular quark gets the regular color. Why is this set up w/only a quark and its antiquark? Is this a particular category of mesons? Are quarks and anti-quarks like u and anti-up an example of flavors, not like up and down?
I dont really understand how gluons interact and change the gluon colors. Which would be very beneficial to me to see examples of emission/absorption, basically many examples of the color changes by the gluons. If I actually see examples of how the quarks change colors and gluon charges, it will finally sink in. I hope this isnt too redundant. I should already know the answer by how many replies Ive gotten. Most things I get really easily about particle physics that I have been learning so about for so long, the whole color charge, etc. is a particularly difficult to master subject.
Mar27-12, 03:14 PM
* by convention, the sign of a quark's flavour number is the same as that of its electric charge, and the corresponding antiquark's is the opposite. So for example a s quark has strangeness -1, and its antiquark +1, whereas c has charm +1, etc.
The six quark flavours are up, down, charm, strange, top and bottom. Each has its corresponding anti. The flavours are commonly abbreviated to their initial letters, such as u or d. u, c and t have electric charge +2/3 and may collectively be referred to as 'up-type'. d, s and b have -1/3 and are sometimes called 'down-type'.
In a meson, the valence quark and antiquark must have opposite colours, but need not be of matching flavours. For example a π+ meson is an up with an anti-down - note the charges are +2/3 -(-1/3) = +1. It also has upness of +1 and downness of +1. (Historically, upness and downness were combined into another quantum number called isospin, whose numerical value is half the total upness and downness.)

When quarks change colors would the following be an example of how all quarks change color charge?
Red Turns Into Blue:
red - (red + -blue) = blue
blue + (red + -blue) = red
Blue Turning Into Red:
blue - (blue + -red) = red
red + (blue + -red) = blue
May1-12, 04:12 AM
Am I completely wrong? I need to know exactly how to illustrate the color changes between quarks, with the addition and subtraction, like the absorption and emission, the example given. Do I have them in the wrong pairs, like may be all of the emissions and absorptions of red need to be in one group, and all of the emissions and absroptions of blue need to be in one group?. I need to know whether I did it right or if I did it wrong, and if I did it wrong, how is it supposed to be denoted to describe the color exchange between quarks?
May1-12, 05:36 AM
I think I understand how a red quark can absorb a gluon turning it blue, and how a red quark can emit an anti-gluon and turn blue, but that in both situations there is only a red quark changing into blue, not swapping out colors between two quarks.
For example:
red - (red +-blue) = blue
red + (blue -red) = blue
These are the two original red colored quarks which turn blue. But how can you combine different emissions and absorptions like denoted here, to make it show how two quarks can exchange colors?
I'm still needing a bit of clarification.
May1-12, 08:43 AM
Think about it like this:
In every reaction, the sum "red minus antired" (and similar for blue and green) is conserved, which means that it is the same before and after the reaction.
Therefore, a red quark can emit a (red, anti-blue) gluon and become blue:
Before the reaction, we have 1 red (quark) and 0 blue.
After the reaction, we have 1 red (in gluon) and 1-1=0 blue (blue in quark, anti-blue in gluon).
This is another way to express "red = (red-blue)+blue", where (red-blue) is the gluon. The left side has the initial state (the red quark) and the right side has the final state (gluon+quark).
Now, this (red, antiblue) gluon can be absorbed by a blue quark, which becomes red:
"blue + (red-blue) = red"
This image has this process: It is below the "C". The horizontal axis is time.
Of course, this is just a model, and should not be taken too seriously. It is not meaningful to say "at time x, this quark emitted a gluon which hit another quark later".
May21-12, 12:49 AM
I now fully see, how a red colored quark can turn blue; thank you Adrian for showing me how to illustrate emission and absorption of the red colored quark, in a simple way, like addition and subtraction; that answered it. Like:
+red (+red + anti-blue) = + blue (where a red quark turns into a blue quark by the red colored quark emitting the gluon of red anti-blue without the color any absorption by any other colored quark)
+red + (+blue + anti-red) = + blue (where a red quark turns into a blue quark by the red colored quark absorbing the gluon of blue anti-red color without any given emission of the gluon by any other specific colored quark before it was absorbed as in this situation).
However, these are just possible emissions and absorptions of gluons from all color charged quarks, not the actual swapping of color charge between two quarks.
Thank you for answering this question, I have looked at all of the possibilities of how emission and absorption of gluons work on all of the possible colored quarks, where they change colors. When I am talking about emission and absorption, I am not talking about exchanging gluons between quarks, but rather quarks of any color emitting or absorbing gluons changing the color of the quark . I am writing this down on note cards and I am memorizing them and looking for patterns, as well as seeing some interesting rules that describe how these emissions and absorption of the gluons work.
I need some help understanding how one quark can emit a gluon and the other absorbs it and the colors of the two quarks at the get go exchange their colors between them. I know I should look at specific examples, but for some reason, I cant picture any in my mind. Wait, I think I may have just worked out a picture of it with addition/subtraction but Im not sure ..
I see red turning into blue and blue turning into red. The math is
red (red + -blue) = blue (where a red quark turns red into blue)
blue + (red + - blue) = red (where a blue quark turns into a red)
Does this change a red quark to a blue quark and a blue quark into a red quark and that means they switch color, and the same gluon is used to exchange the color? Is this correct or incorrect when saying that the color charge is exchanged between the two quarks by the emission and absorption of a gluon, like in the example of the red quark turning into a blue quark and blue quark turning into a red quark, like just illustrated, where it just takes one emitting and the other absorbing the gluon, but it is only one colored quark emitting and the other color quark absorbing. As already shown:
When a red quark turns into a blue quark with emission and the blue quark turns into a red quark with absorption it is:
red (red + -blue) = blue
blue + (red + -blue) = red
That was one way for the red and blue quarks to exchange colors.
The other way and opposite way for red and blue quarks to exchange colors is:
blue (blue + -red) = red
red + (blue + -red) = blue
It seems that it takes one specific quark to emit and the other to absorb, but it also seems to me that it would make sense that it could be opposite, where the red could turn into blue with emission of a gluon and blue turning red with absorption of the same gluon. I am confused about how to even word this. Ive been spending so much time trying to make this make sense in an easy way so you can understand it, but I dont know how.
If this is not the case where both colored quarks can switch which one absorbs the gluon and which one emits it, and vice versa, then it will be like what I have written next which is where only one quark can emit a specific gluon and the other quark absorbs it, and the rest of what I have written below is true. If not then Ive wasted a lot of time writing it, but I will keep trying until I get it.
This may be redundant of some of what I have already written; I think that this attempt at trying to explain what I am talking about may do it:
Do the quarks exchange the change of colors between each other by emission and absorption of gluons? Can any colored quark and any other colored quark generate the right gluon to swap color charge? Does the quark emitting the gluon cause the right gluon (with the appropriate color/ant-color charge) in order to switch colors with the absorbing quark? And also can it be that the quark absorbing the gluon determining the color/anti-color gluon? Is it both? And how would the correct gluon be chosen by the quarks in order to exchange color? If this is so, does there exist potential gluons with the right potential color charge for each scenario (with absorbing and emitting) so that the any two quarks can exchange colors? Is this is so with potential color exchanges of two differently colored quarks, with potential difference creating for the electron and proton and mass attracting mass, these color charges and gluons are energy? It creates field (need a little more definition of what a field is E = F*d and F=ma). Also, can quarks of the same color charge emit and absorb gluons leaving them with just the original color, say red? I feel this is not so, but it is worth asking.
All mesons have quark and anti-quark combinations, quarks can have only have a color charge and only anti-colors can be on anti-quarks. Are there all possible combinations of quarks and anti-quarks making up all the types of mesons? I also see with the example of a green up quark and an anti-green anti-up quarks are also due to the gluons. How do gluons work in the situation of the mesons with color charge and anti-color charge, and specifically the situation of the green up quark and an anti-green anti-up quark? And also, what about when a proton or neutron are turned into anti-particles (their quarks are the opposite of what they were before)? They are anti-quarks, and that means that the proton or the neutron have an anti-color?
May21-12, 12:51 AM
This is my understanding about quarks, anti-quarks and color charge, is it correct, and if it is correct, then does each scenario's rules work for all of the possibilities:
This swaps the colors between two differently colored quarks:
1.) If you have a red quark, it turns blue by emitting a (red + anti-blue) gluon:
red - (red + anti-blue) = blue
2.) and a blue quark turns red by absorbing the (red + anti-blue) gluon emitted by the red quark:
blue + (red + anti-blue) = red
The exact opposite which still swaps colors between two differently colored quark which uses in both cases gluons which is antiparticles:
1.) If you have a blue quark, it turns red by emitting a (blue + anti-red) gluon:
blue - (blue + anti-red) = red
2.) and a red quark turns blue by absorbing the (blue + anti-red) gluon emitted by the blue quark:
red + (blue + anti-red) = blue
This deals with quarks and anti-quarks exchanging gluons:
1.) If you have a green quark, it turns blue by emitting a (green + anti-blue) gluon:
green - (green + anti-blue) = blue
2.) and an anti-green antiquark turns anti-blue by absorbing the (green + anti-blue) gluon emitted by the green quark:
anti-green + (green + anti-blue) = anti-blue
How is the exact opposite of this written and how can the antiquark emit a gluon and the quark absorb it, and does there exist a mimicking of the preceding 1 and 2?
Gluons can produce a quark and an anti-quark like this:
1.) (red anti-green) gluon can produce a red quark and an anti-green antiquark.
(red + anti-blue) gluon emits a (red anti-green) gluon and becomes a (green + anti-blue) gluon:
(red + anti-blue) - (red + -green) = (green + anti-blue)
I see how a gluon can emit another gluon, winding up making another type of gluon, like this example, but how can a gluon absorb another gluon? Could I see an example of absorption of one gluon with another gluon which is the opposite of it's the opposite of the preceding example 1.)?
But: both must be of the same flavor:
Up and anti-up or down and anti-down.
A question I have is that, as with the example of the (red anti-green) gluon it will produce a quark and an anti-quark, so does this mean, when it says that both must be of the same flavor or not, and, does that mean that the quark and anti-quark has can be like this: red up quark and an anti-green anti-up quark? However, I think that I have seen where a gluon can produce a green quark and an anti-green antiquark (am I remembering correctly?) Am I right to assume that as long as you have a pair of anti-particles (flavors of quark, like up and anti-up), that it doesn't matter what other properties (like color) of the quark or anti-quarks have, they will still behave as antiparticles? Is the only way to determine antiparticles is to look at their opposite electrical charge, like electrons and positrons, protons and anti-protons, etc.? And gluons can act like the gama rays which, if they have a certain amount of energy or above, like1.02 MeV , they can go through pair production? Can all force carriers produce antiparticle pairs, and if so, what examples are there? Also for every pair production is there the opposite, annihilation? That seems to make sense to me, but I am unsure, and might as well have validation on that point and if all particles which have opposite charges, regardless of other properties, are they still anti-particles and will annihilate each other when in close proximity of each other. Also I've learned that antiparticle annihilation can result in other particle antiparticle pairs, as well as energy in different forms, like light. I might as well ask so that I have a correct understanding of it. There's more questions, but I need to focus on the topic I am working on right now.
You have stated that: "unlike photons which carry no electric charge, gluons carry colour charges so can also interact with other gluons. For example a red-antigreen gluon and in doing so become green-antiblue. This makes a huge difference to the physical phenomena that result from the strong force, and is ultimately the reason why quarks and anti-quarks are always confined within hadrons and can never be observed alone." I don't understand that, but does that have to do with the reason for the mass defect (which I would need a better understanding of anyway), and how that might relate to the gluons, because the further apart you pull the quarks in a nucleus the more difficult it is to pull them apart, like a spring. My guess is that the further apart you pull the quarks, the more energy you have to put into the neutrons and protons, and that makes it heavier because energy is mass, but I could be way off target on that.
A question I have is that I know gluons hold together the quarks in baryons and mesons. I am particularly interested in knowing how protons and neutrons which are baryons hold together in the nucleus. What I mean is this: do the gluons not only hold together the quarks which make up the proton and neutron, but do they also hold the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus as well? You say that quarks are held together by gluons. And if this is so, then is it not only the quarks being pulled apart, but also the neutrons and protons being pulled apart in the nucleus and that has to deal with the mass defect? The act of dumping F*d = E into the pulling apart, you are dumping more energy into the system, and that would make it more massive, but this only makes sense if not only do quarks hold together in the nucleus by gluons, which is true, and protons and neutrons are being pulled apart that way by an outside force, which if neutrons and protons are held together by the gluons that would explain it.

National Science Foundation:
Steps Taken to Improve Contracting Practices, but Opportunities Exist to Do More
GAO-13-292: Published: Mar 28, 2013. Publicly Released: Mar 28, 2013.
Additional Materials:

What GAO Found
For the contracts GAO reviewed, the National Science Foundation (NSF) generally used key contracting practices in each of the three phases of the acquisition process, but the agency needs additional guidance on early acquisition planning as well as arrangements for contract audits.
The contracts GAO reviewed all involved some degree of acquisition planning, but NSF's guidance does not address appropriate time frames for early planning activities. Without such guidance, NSF contract and program officials said they could not convince their colleagues of the need to initiate early planning activities. Delays in these activities can lead to further delays later. For example, NSF had to extend one order on a non-competitive basis for more than a year to complete planning tasks for the follow-on order. In another case, the delayed award of an order compressed the data collection period for a report with firm deadlines, which could lead to higher overall costs. Further, having sufficient time for early planning may facilitate an increased use of lower risk contracting approaches.
Contract documentation showed that NSF generally followed key practices in the award phase. An NSF corrective action plan, in response to NSF's Office of Inspector General's (NSF-OIG) 2009 financial statement audits, clarifies the agency's procedures for reviewing contractors' accounting practices and financial disclosure statements to better align with key practices. Contract file documentation shows NSF improved in this area, with most of the negotiated contracts having documentation of accounting system reviews. Further, NSF generally documents price reasonableness determinations.
NSF updated its guidance and took steps to incorporate key contract monitoring practices. NSF-OIG's 2009 financial statement audits recommended that NSF obtain incurred cost submissions and audits for its largest cost-reimbursable contracts to ensure the validity of costs billed to NSF. Around the same time, the NSF-OIG and the NSF Office of the Director signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that provides a process for arranging for contract audits. Audits for one of the ocean drilling contracts completed in 2012 resulted in $1.5 million in recovered funds. The NSF Director and NSF-OIG have both identified additional audits of this contract as a top priority. However, despite the terms of the MOU, and the agreement between NSF and the NSF-OIG on the need for further audits, arrangements have not been made to conduct additional audits of this contract for more recent fiscal years, according to officials. Similarly, despite requests from the contracting officer, NSF has not made arrangements for incurred cost audits for another large contract GAO reviewed.
Why GAO Did This Study
The NSF spends more than $400 million of its $7 billion annual budget acquiring goods and services in support of its mission to promote science and engineering. Much of this spending involves exploration activities in remote locations throughout the world, such as the Arctic and Antarctic. GAO examined the extent to which NSF uses key contracting practices in three phases of the acquisition process: (a) acquisition planning, (b) contract award, and (c) post-award contract monitoring. GAO selected and reviewed a nongeneralizable sample of 11 contracts or orders with at least $3 million in funding obligations for fiscal year 2011, which accounted for about 70 percent of NSF's total contract obligations for that year. Although all 11 contracts and orders received funding during fiscal year 2011, some were awarded more than 7 years ago. Some were awarded more recently. We reviewed each of the 11 contracts to determine the extent to which they reflected the use of key contracting practices based on the Federal Acquisition Regulation, our prior work, and NSF-OIG findings. GAO also reviewed NSF contracting policies and met with NSF contracting and program officials.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that the Director of NSF (1) supplement existing guidance on acquisition planning to address the time needed for the early stages of the process, and (2) arrange for audits to be performed on major contracts, consistent with the terms of the memorandum of understanding with NSF-OIG. NSF agreed with the recommendations.

No, you are not trapped in some bizarro dream world. This place where Yuniesky Betancourt is a postseason force to be reckoned with, this place where the Detroit Lions are 5-0, and this place where I write the Friday Rockpile now is all real. Okay, so that last part isn't quite true, Andrew Martin is on vacation and I'm just helping out. He'll be back next week with your regularly scheduled Rockpile but for now, yours truly has been handed the keys to the mothership.
Oddly back in the winter of 2009 when Andrew first started writing front page stories here, I was on vacation. Funny how life comes full circle like that sometimes. On this particular day, I was in New Orleans perusing through one of those stereotypical gift shops when a clever sign caught my eye. It read...
There are three types of jobs. Good, fast, and cheap. You may have any two you like.
A good and fast job won't be cheap.
A good and cheap job won't be fast.
A fast and cheap job won't be good.
Unfortunately, this applies almost perfectly to the Rockies options when it comes to fixing 3B next season. To quickly summarize my feelings....
Option #1: A good and fast fix that won't be cheap.
This would involve either paying big bucks to free agent Aramis Ramirez or using prospects as currency to land a David Wright, Kevin Youkilis, or Chase Headley type. Either way it could be a steep price tag.
Option #2: A good and cheap fix that won't be fast.
Nolan Arenado is coming, and there's a very good chance he will be a cheap option that solves all of our problems at 3B. The problem is, he probably won't get here in time to save the 2012 season.
Option #3: A fast and cheap fix that won't be good.
The actual move the Rockies would make for this one would probably be the same as option #2, but it would basically involve running some combination of Ian Stewart, Ty Wigginton, and whatever else they can throw at the wall hoping they strike gold. I won't hold my breath on this one.
Bottom line is, there's certainly no easy solution to this problem right now. But hey, I'm probably not telling you anything you don't already know.
Meanwhile, MLB's postseason got even more interesting yesterday as the team trailing in each series won.
Detroit fought off elimination by defeating Texas 7-5 in a little bit of a rollercoaster game that featured the first natural cycle in post season history. It occurred during the Tiger 6th inning that began with a Ryan Raburn single, a Miguel Cabrera double, a Victor Martinez triple, and a Delmon Young home run that gave Detroit a seemingly comfortable 6-2 lead. Texas would mount a rally however getting the potential winning run to the plate in the 9th before Mike Napoli grounded out to second to end the game. This series will shift back to Texas Saturday where Detroit will once again be fighting for their postseason lives in game 6.
The NLCS is now also guaranteed to go at least six games as the Brewers evened up their series with a 4-2 win over the Cardinals. I don't know about you, but I just have the feeling this one is going the distance as these teams feel so evenly matched. Okay, that and I really want to see a Carpenter vs. Gallardo matchup in Game 7.
Beyond the Boxscore revealed their all Post-2011 NL West All Star team yesterday. (Eight starters, a five man rotation, and three bullpen selections.) Four Rockies made the list; see if you can guess who they are.
Doctoring The Numbers: Starting Them Young. Rany Jazayerli continues his fascinating look at how, as he puts it, "a small difference in age among high school hitters can have a dramatic impact on their return as draft picks". (Part One in case you missed it yesterday)
Finally, if you're feeling bad about the Rockies, Joe Posnanski took a look at some of the worst contracts in baseball earlier this week. Give thanks that we don't have one of these albatrosses.

ESPN QB Stats
Tebow doesn't actually show up because he hasn't thrown enough passes to qualify for the 14 attempts per game but his passer rating is 87.9. That puts him right between Matt Moore and Mathew Stafford and IN THE TOP TEN!! That's ahead of Jay Cutler, Matt Ryan, Cam Newton, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Mark Sanchez, Andy Dalton, Matt Hasselbeck, Michael Vick, Phillip Rivers, Kevin Kolb, Joe Flacco, Carson Palmer and Matt Cassel, just to name a few. He's thrown 158 passes, and over 12 games that comes to 13.16 passes/game so he's just barely not listed in the qualified stat sheet, but keep in mind he didn't throw a pass for 5 of those games. GO BRONCOS!!!

Thank you for the letter. It was nice to read your sincere appreciation for the people who work in our nation's schools, and a refreshing change from the treatment we received seven years ago when one of your predecessors referred to us as "terrorists."
Most of us genuinely believe that you and the administration are working hard for the best interests of our public schools. We feel that you value and respect America's teachers. While we may not always agree with all of your specific strategies or policies, it's clear that you want the best for our students.
That said; I want to discuss the eighth paragraph of your letter:
"So I want to work with you to change and improve federal law, to invest in teachers and strengthen the teaching profession. Together with you, I want to develop a system of evaluation that draws on meaningful observations and input from your peers, as well as a sophisticated assessment that measures individual student growth, creativity, and critical thinking."
When are you planning to begin working together with us? It's been over two years since you've had this job and so far we haven't seen much change in the federal law. I'm talking about NCLB, with its onerous sanctions. Those of us in the field are watching as good schools and good teachers are being labeled "failures" due mostly to the demographics of their student population and the relentlessly rising expectation of bad legislation.
And another thing. When you say you want to "work with us to change and improve federal law," what exactly do you mean? As teachers, we know that could mean one of two things. There's the "working together" where teams of teachers actually work together to plan a lesson or unit. In this form of "working together" the end is unknown at the outset. The team engages in genuine collaboration in which each partner contributes to the product. This is real and authentic teamwork.
Then there's the other kind of working together. Many of us start the year by inviting our students to "work together" to form a set of class rules and responsibilities. For many of us, this is a disingenuous exercise; a façade in which the outcome is essentially predetermined. There's no way, for example, that the rules we end up with won't include something about "keeping our hands to ourselves."
It might be OK to "work together" disingenuously when the rest of the team is eight years old, but we're much older than that. And frankly, most of us know at least as much about education as you do.
The evaluation system you describe in this paragraph sounds pretty cool. But it sounds a lot different from the plans proposed by the states that won your "race to the top." Most of those plans seemed to use student performance as a proxy for teacher effectiveness. There's certainly a connection between the two, but it's not as clear as you might think. There's a kid in my class, for example, who is so hyperactive that his body literally vibrates all day long. But his low test scores belie the enormous amount of effort and work it has taken to get him to read and write almost at grade level, and to get him to complete his math assignments independently. At the same time, the girl who sits across from him, whose parents are both doctors, reads better than either you or I. Her high test scores represent almost none of my effort and talent. I'll gladly take credit for them, but frankly, she would have done just as well on that test with a folding chair in charge of the class.
One more thing. Our unions have taken a beating this past year. Mostly at the state level and by members of the media and business community. But there's a sneaking suspicion by many of us that a lot of these people have become emboldened, not so much by what you and the rest of the administration has said or done, but by what you haven't said or done. Contrary to popular myth, most of us actually feel represented by our unions. Their policies, after all, are directed by the teachers they represent. Our unions are us. And they do a lot of great work, for both teachers and students. Would it be too much to ask to have you stick up for us every now and then?
So anyway, thanks for the letter. It was good to hear from you as we head down the homestretch of the school year. And if you really mean that part about "working together," give me a call. I've got a few other ideas.

The developer, David Morrow of the Morrow Companies, acknowledged and thanked the residents, elected officials, and those in the community responsible for the success of the property. The elected officials who attended the ceremony celebrated the new development, its economic impact, and the affordable housing alternatives provided and needed in the area.
Those in attendance for the Sept. 27. event were State Sen. Greg Reed (R-Jasper) State Rep. Richard Baughn (R-Lynn), Paul Housel of Congressman Robert Aderholt's office, and Jasper City Councilor Morris Studdard. Chris Hert from the Alabama Housing Finance Authority along with David McCullum and Michael Nixon of Regions Bank, who provided financing for the development were also present.
The ceremony concluded with a groundbreaking for a new safe shelter to be located on the property, which is the first of its kind in Walker County since the storms. It will serve as an additional activities room. It will also allow occupancy for 138 persons in times of inclement and dangerous weather.
Leasing at High Forest Apartments has been swift and currently the complex has a waiting list. The development includes one, two and three bedroom apartment homes located on approximately 10 acres on High Forest Lane off Airport Road.

Want to see a famous crime scene from your city featured on Crime Library? Send your photo to email@example.com
Today's reader photo comes to us from Todd in Kansas City. On the morning of June 17, 1933, the Union Station Railroad Depot in Kansas City, Mo., was the scene of a shootout that took the lives of five men — four law enforcement officers and their prisoner, outlaw Frank Nash. Nash, a notorious bank robber, was being transported back to Leavenworth prison, from which he had escaped while serving a 25-year sentence. Having learned when the train carrying Nash would be arriving at the station, several of his cohorts conspired to free him. Among them were "Doc" Louis Stacci, Vernon Miller, Richard Tallman Galatas, Herbert Farmer, and Charles Arthur "Pretty Boy" Floyd.
After arriving at the station, Nash was escorted through the station to a parked law enforcement Chevrolet by FBI agents F. Joseph Lackey, R. J. Caffrey and Frank Smith, Special Agent in Charge Vetterli, Oklahoma Police Chief Otto Reed and Kansas City police Officers W. J. Grooms and Frank Hermanson. As they were placing Nash in the Chevrolet, three gunmen, at least one armed with a machine gun, opened fire. Nash and Chief Reed were killed inside the vehicle; Grooms, Hermanson and Caffrey were still outside the car when they were gunned down.
The exact details of what became known as the Kansas City Massacre are the subject of some contention. One theory, put forth by author Robert Unger in his book The Union Station Massacre: The Original Sin of J. Edgar Hoover's FBI, is that Nash, Caffrey and Hermanson were killed by bullets from Agent Lackey's shotgun, which he had borrowed from Chief Reed. Also disputed are the identities of the gunmen. Though the FBI determined that Floyd, Richetti and Miller were the gunmen, Unger and Michael Wallis, author of Pretty Boy, a biography of Floyd, maintain that Floyd and Richetti were framed.
Following the Kansas City Massacre, FBI agents, who were previously not authorized to carry firearms or make arrests, received a supply of Thompson submachine guns and were granted the authority to make statutory arrests.

Manchester schools back off on absence penalties
Less than a year after it took the hard-line approach to absences, the Board of School Committee voted this week to maintain the grade-based attendance policy only at the high school level,
District officials proposed the change after complaints that the policy was overly punitive, particularly in the case of younger students whose parents were irresponsible in getting them to school.
The school board approved the policy without discussion at its meeting Monday, but the changes were debated last month in the Coordination Committee.
William Krantz, the principal of McLaughlin Middle School, told the committee that there are students who can't get a parent to write a note for them, because, for example, he or she cannot write English.
"That means the school has to fail them. That is another unintended consequence that is hurting the student. In some cases, those students just give up," he said.
Board member Sarah Ambrogi, Ward 1, noted that such students "become your drop-outs," according to the meeting minutes.
Jennifer Briggs, the principal of Smyth Road School, said it was inappropriate for a failing grade to appear on the report card of an elementary school student due solely to absences. "Parents do not understand that their child's grade or progress indicator may be related to the unexcused absences and not their child's growth in their schooling," Briggs said.
Other school leaders noted that dealing with the appeal process for a failing grade adds to a heavy workload at the end of the grading period.
Board members Art Beaudry, Ward 9, and John Avard, Ward 10, opposed ending the grade penalties. Avard said the policy could be tweaked for students in the lower grades, but there needed to be serious consequences for poor attendance.
"There are parents who take their children out of school to go away on vacations or to go for an extended period of time back to their home country, and think it is acceptable for their child to have missed school for days or weeks with no consequence," Avard said at the committee meeting last month.
A majority on the committee voted to follow the administration's recommendation. Avard was the only board member to object Monday when the full board approved the policy.
The change effectively means that excessive absences in grades K-8 will be dealt with the same way they were before. After the fifth unexcused absence in a semester, a parent, teacher and administrator are to draw up an "attendance plan."
High school students would still be hit with an "NG" (no grade) mark if they amass five unexcused absences; those 16 or older who are deemed "habitually truant" could be fined.
Mayor Ted Gatsas, who backed the "get tough" attendance policy when it was proposed last July, said he believed there still needed to be changes at the middle school level.
"If you don't have a policy in the middle schools and you can miss 20 days, that person when they get to high school is going to be in a precarious situation," he said.

Edson Barboza vs Lucas Martins Fight Video UFC on FX 7 Prelim.
Why was Barboza fighting a lesser skilled 135 pounds striker??
Hey Edson, Jesus has nothing to do with picking winners.
I agree with it being annoying when they thank god after a fight, I mean its like come on now….that said you have to remember these guys come from NOTHING, literally nothing. Junior cam e to America with a bag that had his gloves and shin pads in it, so I kind of give him hte benefit o the doubt. Its not like Bendo who has been in america and is just a f***** tard.
Wow cant believe a 10-0 fighter would tap to strikes says something to the level of competition he was fighting at in Brazil I guess. I agree mismatch.
whats wrong with thanking god …you people got issues god is the beginning and the end the alpha and the omega
I thought only Bobbu Sappu taps to strikes?
does no one remember he was injury replacement?
I think it's awesome how he tries to discount his hard work. But God is good and works in mysterious ways.
I didn't watch the entire video but judging from the usual cy babies on the comment board can I assume Team JESUS WINS AGAIN???…

Hey Walker, Wisconsin Has Nation's Largest Increase in New Applications for Unemployment Benefits!
Remember Scott Walker's campaign promise to create 250,000 jobs during his term?
But since his election, he's seemed more focused on politics than jobs.
And in today's news: Wisconsin has the nation's biggest jump in new jobless benefit claims!
WTAQ reports:
" U.S. labor officials said Thursday that almost 5,900 Wisconsin workers filed benefit applications during the week ending November 24th. That's more than twice as many as second-place Oregon."
***Update 12/07/12
And what's happening nationally?
Thinkprogress posted the following newsflash this morning:
"The American economy added 146,000 jobs in November and the unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent, according to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Analysts had expected 85,000 jobs to be created. The 7.7 percent unemployment rate is the lowest it has been since December 2008. "

As fans, we want the Bulls to win games, win games, and win games. Winning games is how we-fans measure success. But what about the team owners? How do they measure success? With professional sports being a business, I expect the team owners to measure success partially on net profit (aka operating income). So, which team is the NBA Fiscal Champion? The Chicago Bulls.
For fiscal 2008, The Chicago Bulls Organization earned $55.4 million net profit. This year, the Lakers won the championship, the Cleveland Caveliers won the most games, the NY Knicks and Dallas Mavericks spent the most money. The Chicago Bulls was the most successful NBA business organization.
Below, is a ranking of the teams by net revenue. As fans, we should be proud. Be proud!
Is winning everything? Is winning the only thing?
What about making a profit by staying under the luxury tax, with possible plans of spending the stashed dough on something/someone worthwhile in 1 or 2 years?
Trading for Boozer or Shaq, or signing BG or Iverson would not make the Chicago Bulls title contenders. Signing Wade and Bosh in 1 or 2 years would.So, hey, this Bulls' ownership may have a real long term plan. They sure do have the stash for it.


text: Getting carded used to be a straightforward process. You handed over your ID, it was looked at and you were either served or not served based on the bartender's discretion. But beyond minors trying to get into a bar, one of the big problems operators have long contended with is knowing who troublemakers are before they come in. These days, a growing number of bars are turning to new ID scanner technology in an effort to keep potential menaces out before they cause more problems by sharing information about them with other neighborhood taverns. Naturally, the trend has privacy advocates concerned about how the information will be stored and about potential uses by private companies. When entering an establishment using one of the systems, a customer, regardless of age, presents his or her ID to a member of the door staff, who runs it through a scanner that checks for validity and whether the person is of legal drinking age. The system also photographs the customer and the ID, and provides information about the customer's history at the venue. Then a computer database shares that newly collected information with other area bars. While standalone ID scanners have been available for at least 1O years, the new systems allow multiple bars in a geographic area to alert each other about known troublemakers, says Michael Sengstaken, President of New York-based IDetect Inc., one of several companies offering the systems, which cost about $2OOO. He says bars and clubs in New York City, Miami, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Canada have begun using the networked systems, including Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville cafes in Florida. However, the systems come with very few promises of security or confidentiality, says Chris Calabrese, legislative counsel for the national American Civil Liberties Union. He says it's possible the data collected at bars and clubs could be resold to everyone from marketers to insurance companies who are tracking the drinking habits of policyholders. In Canada, the country's privacy commissioner has established limits on who can collect the information, how long it can be stored and for what purposes it can be used. Calabrese says the US lacks a similar national policy, although some states restrict the private collection of driver's license information. In an attempt to keep everyone safe, it seems that privacy is quickly becoming a thing of the past.

As of Wednesday, January 2, 2013
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
MOULTRIE, Ga. — Police in south Georgia say the suspect in a residential burglary apparently drowned three puppies inside the house before fleeing the scene.
A Moultrie man who returned home over the weekend and found evidence of a burglary eventually stumbled upon the bodies of the puppies.
Authorities say they were drowned in a large trash can in the bathroom that had been filled with water.
Police say they have identified a person of interest but have not disclosed additional details.
Authorities say the suspect will likely be charged with criminal damage to property and three felony counts of animal cruelty.
VSU 1 year, 7 months ago
Maybe they should stick his head in a trash can filled with water so he can feel first hand what those poor puppies went through. Sick cold hearted b@stard!
Sister_Ruby 1 year, 7 months ago
I'd rather see them spayed or neutered.
If the mother dog had done it we would just call it her "choice".
tocar 1 year, 7 months ago
I hope they find the person responsible for doing this and charge him with animal cruelty in addition to other charges.
waltspecht 1 year, 7 months ago
Wonder if this is a warning, about like a Horse Head in the bed, or a Pig's head on the porch, or a fish wrapped in Newspaper? Is this gang related? Or is someone saying he better keep his mouth shut about something or he will be next?
