The predicted particle
Has anyone heard more of the Higgs boson. I found this article that says there were bumps at the predicted energy range found in blogs.
The question is if we are making them why are we not recording them?
Suggested reasons:-
1. An electron detector can't catch Higgs
2. Something else kicked
3. It moved so we couldn't catch it
4. It never happened
5. Not A or B either or both
Curious really does anyone have suggestions?

First fanpost so for the 1-2 people that read this go easy on me…
I think Ty has done a great job overall, especially for a shortened season. He really could have used a training camp to both assess new players and teach the young ones, but he hasn't let that potential excuse stop him from doing his job this season. Some nice words about Corbin so far:
· Most games players stay under 35 minutes
· Using Jazz depth to his advantage – runs 9- 10 deep most games which I think is perfect (anymore and minutes are too thin for guys to get any flow)
· Has shown rotation flexibility to get minutes to guys making plays (mostly)
· Has shown patience to stick with guys struggling with their games. While fans chew out a player for a couple of bad games, a coach showing support is vital for player confidence.
Wall of text incoming
I agree with most fans that our (hopeful) playoff performance in the next couple of seasons will be much more important than our wins this year. With Jazz fans looking ahead a year or two, playing the young guys to develop is a sound strategy. However I disagree with fans who want to wholesale jettison veteran minutes; playing the young guys too many minutes can easily have a negative affect on their development. If you throw out a bunch of young guys there will be chaos, and most players do not thrive in chaos (I <3 you, AK47). In my opinion young guys develop much better when there are only 1 or 2 of them out there trying to learn the ropes - with veterans to keep the offense/defense functioning the rookies can focus on 1-2 things they are responsible for. This is especially magnified with the shortened season where rookies don't really know the system. I think minutes would be less of an issue if we weren't currently having a largely injury-free (knock on wood) season. If the team stays healthy I would vote for 10% more youth minutes (24), mostly from Josh Howard (averaging 22.5) which I will explain later.
I generally agree with the idea that in the nba you want to be contending for either the championship or a #1 draft pick – the middle ground sucks. While this draft is very deep, I really don't think there are any superstar "locks." The Jazz would have to play so far below their potential to get a top 3 (or get lucky in the lotto) that I think they would probably sacrifice more in player development than they would gain from moving up the draft. I definitely want a pick this year so the front office can take a swing at it, but I am hoping for the GS pick instead of ours. If we get 2 lotto picks we realistically would have to consider trading one cause we have too many young guys to develop as is. Not that it would be a bad problem to have…
Player Assessments
Josh Howard
Nothing against Josh, but I really don't see short or long term benefit from playing Mr. Howard. He actually performed well early in the season, attacking the rim and getting fouled when the offense was otherwise sputtering, but he doesn't seem as aggressive following his minor injury. His playstyle seems to lean iso/individual based which is not Jazz basketball, and he is either out of form or past his prime to be that type of player. He certainly doesn't help the team when he starts jacking up poor shots instead of attacking the rim. I would prefer the young guys to play team basketball, but if the 2nd unit needs someone to carry the offense solo for a bit I would easily vote for Burks or Miles over Howard. He needs to give up his 23 mins barring injury to someone else.
I really lost faith that Raja could turn it around after a couple weeks into the season, so hats off to Corbin for seeing something I didn't. While I would probably slightly bump down his minutes (averaging 24), I have no problem with Raja getting 15-25 depending on the flow of the game. The Jazz are just not as deep in the backcourt and Raja has been doing exactly what we need him to for the last few games: making open shots, playing pesky D, and providing some veteran leadership. A big difference between Raja and Howard is that Raja plays in the flow of the game and his possessions mainly consist of open looks.
Gordon Hayward/CJ Miles
Even before breaking out of his shooting slump, you had to have faith in G-Time. His developmental path could not be more opposite from CJ's. Ty could keep Gordo on the court even with his poor shooting cause he brings the effort to do all the other things. CJ usually dissapears from games when his offense and shot aren't going. Gordon gives great defensive effort – doing a nice job on some tough assignments lately. He may not be an elite finisher, but he always runs hard on the break, and his toughness keeps him attacking the rim even after contact. Hayward is one of the few guys on the team that can create for his teamates, and can competently feed the post. I want the ball in his hands more (Burks/Hayward backcourt anyone?).
CJ still makes bonehead plays (one game he bailed out the other team by fouling at the end of 2 separate quarters), and shoots long 2s early in the shot clock. The CJ that attacks the rim, gets steals, and runs the courts is great…he just doesn't show up with consistency. I really like his move driving from the right and cutting in just before the basket for a little left handed scoop/hook – have seen it a few times now. With CJ it feels like all or nothing – he needs to bring defensive effort whether or not his shot is falling. I was hoping for CJ to turn into our 6th man to kind of carry the offense for short stretches, but I don't think he is ever going to figure it out for the Jazz. Sometimes players need to change scenery, and sometimes they just never get there. I have no problem keeping him on the cheap, but I would be shocked if he became an important piece for a contender Jazz team.
What is there not to love? Efficient offense, good passer, scrappy defender/rebounder, ultimate lead by example type of captain. I think the team needs to make a real effort to feature him more in the offense. Most of his points come fairly hard with him banging down low and getting put backs – we should not use him as a back down post player with his height and skill set. WHEN SAPS MAN FRONTS HIM FEED THE BALL PLEASE (sorry but I'm sick of screaming at Howard and others who can't post pass). Milsap has developed a lethal midrange game, and we need to use it. Its nice that he has Jefferson as his
Valentine's Day frontcourt partner, but we need to get him a pick and roll partner. Either Harris if he gains confidence in his midrange shot (better last couple of games), or G-Time. We don't have to exclusively run our offense through Big Wheezy – milsap should be operating out of the high block. He can pick, hit the midrange, cut to the basket, or pass out of the high block…to me he could be just as effective offensively as boozer if we featured him with a competent partner.
Overall fairly pleased with Al, especially with his improved passing. However he still has moments/games when he catches the ball in the post and just puts the blinders on – he usually misses 1 or 2 assists a game to Milsap if he would just dump the ball when the defense collapses. He kind of goes into autopilot down there - sometimes he receives a good pass deep in the post and instead of just attacking the rim goes to his back to the back game. Can't complain cause the coach want's to run the offense through the big guy and his production and effort are there.
I think Favors has much more potential, but I am much more confident that Kanter will reach his. I am ready to declare the #3 pick a succes for KOC from what little we have seen so far. He already has an elite NBA skill in his rebounding (according to the advanced stats, and just watching him go for the ball or using his body when the shot goes up). I LOVE Kanter's pick and roll defense – he shows enough to prevent the guard from turning the corner and often does a good job trapping before he sprints back to the middle. Kanter seems to really listen and I see him improve from game to game (footwork and around the basket seem better to me recently). He also looks to have a decent midrange jumper, but I like that he is not trying to do too much at once, and has mainly stayed glued to the paint.
Favors on the other hand tries to do a little of everything, and winds up excelling at nothing. He shoots midrange jumpers, posts up with backdowns or spin moves, blocks some shots – he just has no go to moves that he seems really comfortable with. He shows flashes but also winds up travelling or turning the ball over seemingly as often. I really like his athleticism, but I wish we had a great big man coach to get him to focus on mastering 1 or 2 things at at time.
Would like to see him more in non trash time, maybe with G-Time in the backcourt. Good at going to the rim, but needs to either learn to keep his head up to pass or finish around NBA defenders. For now I think he should focus on defensive effort when the coach puts him in, cause if you can guard quick NBA guards you will get minutes. Hopefully can become a really good slasher like brewer cause im not sure if he will ever be a great shooter. Right now he kind of seems like a poor man's Tyreke Evans.
Hopefully he continues to build some confidence in his shot so he can pick and roll with milsap. Mediocre passer for a point guard but still a lot to like when he is on his game. He really needs to make the best of splitting minutes with watson and use that extra energy on defense because he can be a pesk when he wants to.
Early Oop
Struggled a little lately I think, but really good toughness and leadership. No complaints with his minutes or role.
Stays positive, good teamate, comes up big when we play him (rarely). Seems like he really has a great outlook on his situation so good for him.
Super exciting but we need to know if this cat can do anything other than dunk and block shots. What type of players is he capable of guarding at the 4 or 3? Can he dribble or shoot a little to play the 3? Wish we saw him more to know.
If this wasn't too awful I might do another on a 3-5 year outlook for the front-office strategy.

Law Firms
5-lawyer tech, media and telecom group exits Dow Lohnes for Sutherland Asbill
Posted Sep 19, 2013 12:30 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A five-lawyer group with a tech, media and telecommunications focus has leapt from Dow Lohnes to the Washington, D.C., office of Sutherland Asbill & Brennan.
It includes partners William "Bill" S. Dudzinsky Jr., Michael A. Hepburn and Paul R. Lang; counsel Meredith O'Leary; and senior attorney Andrea Gehman, their new firm announced this week in a press release.
"Sutherland has long advised leading cable and telecommunications companies on their tax and benefits matters, and these lawyers enhance our tax and benefits services while expanding our range of industry service across all facets of transactional work, employment law and litigation," said W. Mark Smith, who heads the Sutherland employee benefits and executive compensation practice group. "It's a meaningful expansion of service into an important and rapidly evolving sector."
With other recent attorney additions to the firm, its tech, media and telecommunications practice group now has some 50 attorneys, managing partner Mark D. Wasserman notes in the release.
Four lawyers from the Atlanta office of Dow Lohnes also recently joined Sutherland Asbill, as a Daily Report article last month detailed.
They are Matt Block, a corporate practitioner, and litigator Jason McCarter, both partners; corporate associate J.D. Shipman; and litigation attorney Stephanie Philips.
A decision by a major Dow Lohnes client, Cox Enterprises, to spread its work among more law firms prompted that move, the Daily Report says.
"We're helping a number of folks transition their practices elsewhere," Peter Canfield of Dow Lohnes told the publication. "Matt and Jason and J.D. and Stephanie are all great lawyers. We're glad they're at Sutherland, and we wish them the best."

CINCINNATI (AP) — Since he threw his second no-hitter, Homer Bailey hasn't been a winner. His latest loss wasn't hard to figure.
One infield single won't get anyone very far.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Since he threw his second no-hitter, Homer Bailey hasn't been a winner. His latest loss wasn't hard to figure.
One infield single won't get anyone very far.
Jeff Locke allowed only an infield hit through six innings and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat Bailey to salvage the final game of their series with the Cincinnati Reds, 3-2 on Sunday.
Second-place Pittsburgh left town with a three-game cushion over the NL Central-rival Reds, who won the first two games of the series.
Bailey (5-9) struck out a career-high 12 but fell to 0-3 since his no-hitter against San Francisco at Great American Ball Park this month. Garrett Jones hit his second homer in two games, and the Pirates added a pair of runs in the seventh on hits that were barely out of the reach of second baseman Brandon Phillips.
So it goes.
"Homer was dealing," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "That's why I left him out there. He was still throwing hard in the seventh. It's kind of rough when you're throwing the ball like that and you can't get any hits."
The Pirates thought Bailey was even better than when he no-hit them last season at PNC Park.
"That was the best I've ever seen Bailey," Jones said. "His velocity was up, his cutter was nasty and he was hitting his spots well."
The Pirates managed to get a couple of hits in the seventh that made the difference.
"That was probably the most frustrating thing," Bailey said. "I made some good pitches. It just didn't work out. The game of inches got to me."
Locke (9-2) and the majors' second-stingiest bullpen limited the Reds to three singles, but issued seven walks and let a run score on a wild pitch. Jason Grilli worked the ninth for his 30th save in 31 chances. His only blown save came in Cincinnati on June 19.
Locke had to miss his last scheduled start and couldn't pitch in the All-Star game because of a sore back. There were no problems when he got back on the mound.
The Ohio River rivals don't meet again until September, when they play each other six times in the last nine games. Both hope they have a lot at stake when they get back together — the Reds trying for a second straight division title, the Pirates trying to end their 20-year streak of losing records and make the playoffs for the first time since 1992.

This was wonderful! It was a great story and all of the actors were very talented. Each character was unique and fully inhabited, even when they weren't on stage for long. The story is thought provoking, at least for me, I've never thought about what happens when your life goes from 5 more years to 50 more.
star this review starred report as inappropriate
The acting was superb! That I found myself a tad depressed by it stemmed from the fact that it called up many memories of the period from my own life, reminding me of lost friends. But the message was ultimately one of hope.
Quotes & Highlights
"Zellnik wrote A Hundred Flowers in 2001, and even now its setup seems a little daring, a little dancing-on-skeletons, with a smart sense of the complicating fear and pain underlying the liberation. It's a warm play, ultimately, a feel-good sort of story, but with enough nuance and emotional shadings to give it real impact. The cast's quite winning, and the talented director Paul Angelo keeps the actors on their toes, nimbly navigating the rapids of sentiment, sheer comedy, sly raunch, and genuine emotion." —Oregon Artswatch

I know their have been many many posts about 'IT' and that my view may not be anything new, but sometimes I feel better putting my view onto paper and I figured if it helped at least one other person it would be worth the time to share.
Back after IT broke and I had time to sift through the freeh report and other supporting documents I was under the possibly naive idea that once the facts came out; wrongs would be righted and the media and general public would come to this new realization that they were wrong. Sadly, I can no longer can believe that. As we embark upon the last phase of IT (the perjury trials) and I monitor the media and public response I realize that I was wrong.
While I am young and do not have age or experience on my side I cant help but fear the worst when it comes to the Closure of IT. I do not in anyway want to diminish the great work that those have done to try to clear the name of the Pennsylvania State University and Joe Paterno and think they should still fight, but we all know something about human nature and I fear the worst.
The media will go one of two ways no matter what the court decision is. They will make it out to be a non story, or they will claim lack of Justice for the victims. We have seen a few different cases where the public opinion is the first and final say in this type of situation. The media and public opinion does not have any oversight (not saying they should) and that becomes increasingly evident with IT. Once they have stuck the war path there is little or no way of putting it to a stop or changing its direction. I am sure that the outliers of the sports blog will continue to call for the death of PSU and all those involved, including the team and us as fans. But I no longer believe that the general public will have a chance of being swayed unless ESPN goes on and states they were wrong and did not present the facts. So basically there is 0% chance of that happening.
If the court were to hand down a verdict of guilty on the case of perjury, all of the Paterno statements and ill will towards him will again be drug up and shown for everyone to see and rehash. The BoT will continue on with their lives. Whenever someone tries to make change happen they will be ridiculed and called horrible names or Paterno cult followers. The die hard alum and fans will have to stay the course and be ridiculed and continue to defend their university for many years to come. This will not go away quickly, nor will we enjoy any of it. It saddens me deeply that I even needed to come to this conclusion to have any peace with the issue. Faith in the general public and the human race has left me long ago.
Am I giving up? No. I have really just lowered my expectations. Better to under promise and over deliver as they say in my company.

Cramer Rewrites '1994 Redux: The Source of the Pain'
Again, all you have to do is recall what happens when there is no responsible Federal Reserve, as was the case in Japan in the 1980s. In Japan, there were so many years like the time between November of 1999 and March 10 of this year that everybody borrowed money to cash in. It was considered sinful if you didn't. They are now 10 years into a recession and they still have terrible consumer spending. Their industries are now being beaten by ours. Their growth is stunted. All because for five years they had what we had for five months. It's not worth it.
In 1994, we had a dozens of days where we got a weak number or two and felt we were out of the Fed's crosshairs. And then we would get a strong number and think, "What were we doing, dreaming? The economy is still way too strong." Now, of course, short rates are much higher now than they were then, but the Fed has always shown resolve in taming inflation and this time will be no different.
I penned this series about 1994 because I don't want you to be faked out the way I was faked out so often that year. I want you to learn from my mistakes. I want you to avoid the losses I racked up. And I still had a good year that year, so it is possible to figure this stuff out. I have received many thanks from people who started controlling their finances in the last five years and missed 1994. So I wanted to delve back this weekend to talk about the part of the series where I made most of my mistakes, where I got it wrong! What's my motive in knocking myself so you can learn? How about this: I want to be relevant and I want to be read. To do that I have to offer a value proposition. Here it is.Let's get down and dirty. What didn't work in 1994? What killed you? What would occasionally rally and then just fail and cut your heart out? What was a good sale every time it rallied? (In markets like 1994, there are whole sections of the tape, which is slang for the market itself, that are just plain bear markets. That means they are headed down. It doesn't mean they go straight down. They're punctuated by vicious rallies up as the shorts try to take profits and the longs think the worst is over. That's what a bear market is all about. My job as a fund manager is to figure out which stocks can be bought on weakness and which stocks have to be left on strength. I find that technical analysis does absolutely nothing to help you in these kinds of markets because every breakout is false and every sign of relative strength is worthless. That's because everything in a bear market is done on light volume. I have joked about how Buzz and Batch will engineer false breakouts so they can get out of stocks. But believe me, it happens.) First, remember the context of 1994. Then, as now, the Fed had been too free with liquidity in the past. (Recall that after the savings and loan crisis, the Fed had to reliquefy the banking system. It chose to do so by allowing banks to borrow short-term and invest long-term and pick up the difference. If you are confused about that, think about it this way: Right now, if you were to take out a short-term loan, you would get a rate like that set by the federal funds, a rate set by the Fed.

Mota, Casilla, or Ramirez?
I've heard quite a bit of debate on which of these pitchers is the worst/best, and I've seen a few stats thrown around to support or condemn each. My stance, officially, is *shrug*, or "iono", because in looking at their career numbers, I just can't figure out how any of them make a particularly strong case over the others. But I went ahead and looked/compared their career numbers anyway, just to be sure.

In the sleepy village of Leafy Bottom, Tym dreams of a new life as a great and powerful wizard. Trouble is, he isn't the seventh son of a seventh son - he's only the first of a second, and that doesn't add up to much even when you multiply it! But when Tym mixes some potions that are past their spell-by date, magickal mayhem takes over.
The beautiful Lady Zamarind is in danger and time is running out fast. Mix in a handful of cutpurses, phantom hounds and a Private Inquestigator or two... it all adds up to a troublesome brew for the Dark Forest's first whizzard!

Private Banks
`India among most preferred pvt banking destinations'
Our Bureau
New Delhi , July 11
India is emerging as one of the most preferred private banking destinations at a time when the global private banking and wealth management industry is witnessing a boom in the M&A (mergers and acquisition) activity, global consultancy firm, KPMG, said in a report.
In its report titled `Hungry for more - Acquisition appetite and strategy in the global private banking and wealth management industry', KPMG has said that with its robust and liquid financial markets enabling exits on a timely basis to realise gains, India is a "good resource deployment avenue." The study, the third in the annual series, is based on interviews with 147 private banks around the world.
"India's economy is growing at eight per cent per annum and is going through a transformation to the next level of maturity. This enables double digit returns on most asset classes, which is not so in a majority of countries, making India a preferred private banking destination," the Transaction Services Head of KPMG, India, Mr Abizer Diwanji, said.
High savings rate
"In addition, an emerging trend in India is a high savings rate given increased earning levels. This has resulted in a robust private banking capital-raising avenue. Indian private banking capital would soon fund deployments to a significant part of our capital needs," he said.
According to the report, the growth of personal wealth in Asian economies is providing the greatest impetus to the M&A activity. About 45 per cent of all deals in 2005 took place in the Asia-Pacific region, with a majority of respondents naming China and India, as countries they sought expansion in, the report said.
With over 90 per cent of private banks opining that there are good prospects for the industry over the next three years and 89 per cent actively seeking acquisition targets and considering acquisition if the right opportunity arose, the level of activity is likely to persist, it added.

How to talk to your children about the Connecticut shooting
Reassure children of their safety at school. Do not say a similar shooting will never happen here. Instead point out there are teachers and school staff who will help keep them safe.
Encourage children to ask questions. You want the child to ask questions and not fill-in the blanks themselves.
Be open and honest. If your child asks a question you don't know the answer to say, "I don't know."
Families with children of different ages should make your answers age appropriate for each child. Remember children asks questions to help them understand death.
If using religion to explain death, be clear and not use religious phrases such as, "God needed a little angel," because it may confuse children.
Monitor how much TV your child and yourself watch about the shooting.

Name: Victor Evans
School and hometown: Skyline High School in Dallas, Texas
Position: Weakside defensive end
Height and weight: 6'3 and 225 pounds
Ratings: A consensus three-star prospect in the 247Sports Composite rankings, Evans is the no. 46 weakside defensive end nationally and the no. 131 player in the state of Texas, though 247Sports gave him a bump in the rankings after a strong performance at the June 2 Texas camp.
Offers: Evans holds offers from Houston, Kansas State, MIchigan State, SMU, Texas, Texas Tech, Tulsa, and UTSA.
Highlights: Hudl
Scouting Report:
For positions like defensive end, the top prospects are typically pretty easy to spot -- they just look different from everyone else. In a camp setting like the Dallas NFTC, it wasn't hard to spot Victor Evans, though that was in no small part because of his high-top fade.
Evans has an ideal frame for the weakside defensive end position and will probably be close to a size to contribute as a pass rusher when he enrolls at the college of his choice roughly a year from now. And though his SPARQ 40 time (4.96) and shuttle (4.65) in Dallas seem like they undersold his athleticism, his 36-inch vertical seems like a more true indicator of his explosiveness, which is more evident on film than it is in testing.
While out in Allen for the Dallas NFTC, he was excellent in a couple of high-profile reps late in one-on-ones against Texas A&M commit Kealvin Davis. On the first, Evans used a speed-to-power stab move and put Davis on his backside with one hand, impressively winning the second as well. It was an exchange on a pretty big stage that left Davis visibly shaken afterward.
On his junior film, there are also some impressive moments, just not as many as there should have been. Against the run he comes off the ball with good pad level and clear lower-body strength, with the athleticism to open up and run. His strength is evident in reaching out and grabbing a running back headed for the corner and tossing him to the ground one-handed, with merely a grasp of jersey and perhaps a bit of shoulder pad.
Another unfortunate opponent, a scrambling quarterback, got clotheslined as Evans pursued a play all the way across the field when he saw his opponent vacate the pocket to the other side of the field. Despite those moments, he's the type of player whose film leaves one wanting just a little bit more, like a run-the-arc sack.
He seems like the type of player who possesses significant untapped ability, it's just a question of if or when the light comes on. A strong performance at the Texas camp and his weight gain from his junior season (about 15 pounds or so) both bode well for a strong final high school campaign that could continue to elevate Evans' stock.
All the tools are there, he just needs to translate them to film on a more consistent basis. If he does that, his projection to college becomes much more favorable because it heightens his floor, while further illustrating the height of his ceiling.

Two-Hour Old Elephant Learns to Stand in Cutest of All Cute Videos
Getting this elephant to stand is a family affair.
Getting this elephant to stand is a family affair.
I'm not sure where this video was shot, but it must be in Africa on a safari or something similar, because this is something you don't see everyday, an elephant poolside!
Instead of cutting down tons of trees to manufacture paper, a new organization is utilizing something completely revolutionary: animal poop.
Though it sounds zany and quite messy, in this case the whole paper-making process is quite the opposite. That's because elephants have diets high in fiber, which makes for easy paper making. Once the poo is harvested and dried out, what's left is mostly digested grass and leaves.
Baylor and Tupelo are baby elephants at the Houston Zoo, combined they weigh almost 1,000 pounds, so needless to say the kiddie pools that the handlers give the elephants to play in only last about 5 minutes before they pop, but they sure look like they are having fun

The Serious Business of Being Unfunny July 15, 2010Posted by Danjamin S. Meow in : humour, serious business , trackback Someone once told me I'm only ever 9 months away from making "Dad" jokes constantly – we all know a dork who happened to have a child or three, thinks they're hilarious and enforces their humour on their poor kids' friends. This would be true of me if I were a breeder and told terrible jokes ALL the time. Raised by three parents of mixed backgrounds has made awkward situational humour my first language, and sometimes I can't resist telling an intentionally bad joke. Some of these jokes have survived and been passed down through several generations. Like "You've lost your job? Where did you see it last?" or "What are you getting Grandpa this year? Something memorable?!" (The second one was passed around, more than down, when we thought he might have Alzheimer's). Our humour wasn't always so distasteful; I just don't remember the "before" times. I don't even remember the change; it was gradual. I just remember putting off coming out to my parents so I wouldn't have to hear my stepfather's jokes about Perth's gay bars again.* Then when I did, my mother said she was renaming me "Gav" : her gay, atheist vegan. At the time I thought, this would make a great Singles' column acronym. If only other GAVs read singles columns.
If sense of humour is genetic, I'd like to think I'm here I because the sperm cell that won the race to the right Fallopian tube killed the competition with laughter. It certainly wasn't because he was fast at swimming. But there definitely is an environmental conditioning required to hone your jokabillity, as I like to call it. I also like to make up words for fun and laughs. If your childhood wasn't spent with wisecracking parents in front of The Simpsons, Seinfeld and The Glass House, surround yourself with funny friends who will give you honest feedback about your jokes. Blank stares may be brutal but they're a good sign you're on the wrong track. You might want to try another tack and install a laugh track. That way, when you make a joke and finish with an expectant grin, you don't hear crickets. Your friends will have their cue to laugh politely then say things like "Too far. But good one about redheads in power. Next time you tell it you can change Julia Gillard to Pauline Hanson so it won't sound like you're trying too hard to be topical."
Your third option is to teach yourself to tell jokes. Late nights watching 30 Rock or Eddie Izzard's stand up comedy alone will get you started. As will DVDs of Margaret Cho's or Wil Anderson's standup if you'd rather nail the "inapropriate" jokes. Once you can remember a whole series' (or DVD's) worth of quotes to interject into conversation, you'll have absorbed enough of your chosen comic's genius to steer you through most conversations. But it's important to understand why a joke is funny before trying observational humour. Dissecting jokes often kills them (or that might just be frogs) but it gives a good understanding of how they work. Puns are the foundation of many "Dad" jokes as well as many funny ones. Taking a word (A) that sounds like another word (B) and substituting A for B in a sentence is the first step in many, many jokes. Alternatively, when you mishear what someone says, repeating back what you think you heard is an off-beat way to score cheap laughs without much work. Amongst my circle of friends this is known as a "Cuban Dinosaur." No one knows why, and attempts to reverse engineer the original term have failed.
Often jokes will be based on an expectation being built up, and then deliberately going against the buildup. The rule of three is a nice example of this type of humour: You set up, confirm and then destroy in the name of humour. Describing a cooking show where the host looks like he's spent too many years on drugs? His technique might involve being broiling, lightly oiling and then rolling the dish in pure crack. This works on two levels, because both "broiling" and "oiling" are common steps in food preparation, and they both rhyme. Having the host roll a chicken breast in crack after doing the first two breaks the set-up you've created for the third. Which might have had to be "soiling" the chicken. Good thing he chose the crack.
Observational requires pointing out how something (a current news topic, deeply-held belief system or Justin Bieber) is already funny, or taking a premise to its logical but absurd conclusion and then speaking as if everybody else believes this conclusion. Not for amateurs is the kind of paranoid schizophrenic conversation based on Jesus watching you from an air vent on the train (God is "everywhere" and sees everything, after all). Another use for generally understood stereotypes or a "pre-existing" buildup is to contradict them. Quite often a joke in my house will involve nothing more than a healthy dose of irony. My housemate and I once left a ridiculously bad painting of a matador up in our lounge, which obviously clashed without our ethical vegetarianism and sense of aesthetics, and told people that came to visit we chose it because it matched our lounge's colour scheme. Thankfully we didn't buy the painting, we found it discraded outside a picture framing business. (This housemate and I had progressed to the stage where one-word references to in-jokes and puns would have us in tears from the effort of trying to laugh.)
Once you settle into your funny groove, you can then purposely disregard the rules of funny humour and move into "Dad joke" territory with an audience knowing that you do have a finely-tuned sense of humour and are stepping outside the bounds of taste to make a bad joke. Until then, it's best to leave bad jokes in the category of things you know better than to try. A category I'm only ever borrowing from the natural hypocrites: Dads.
* For those that have had the great fortune of avoiding jokes like these, he used to say that he'd have to walk backwards into Connections so that everyone would recognise him.
And never failed to bring up the following list when something "gay" entered conversation – things a straight man should never say in a gay bar include:
"Can I bum a fag?", "Can you push my stool in?", "Let's blow this joint!", "Toss you for the next round." and "Bottoms up!"

"I was talking to the UFC after the second [Anderson] Silva loss and they encouraged me to move up to 205. They told me my position there would be more appealing to them from a business perspective. They weren't interested in a third match between me and Silva and they didn't want me fighting contenders because I could eliminate possible title fights, so I was stuck in that I was going to be fighting people on the back end of their losses to Silva and I didn't care for that gatekeeper position. After the Travis Lutter fight, I said I would try my hand at 205 again."
-- Former middleweight champion Rich Franklin reveals to the Baltimore Sun his reasons for moving back up to the light heavyweight division for his upcoming fight against Matt Hamill at UFC 88: "Breakthrough" at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Ga., on September 6. "Ace" was soundly defeated twice by UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva, which essentially meant that he'd be relegated to fighting -- and possibly knocking off -- new contenders.

hunting public or private lands in the
elk zone during firearm elk seasons,
must comply with the hunter orange
clothing law.
Elk may be taken from any county
outside the zone by hunters who possess
an annual Kentucky hunting license and
an out-of-zone elk permit. These hunters
must follow deer season and equipment
regulations, but are not required to
possess a deer permit.
All elk must be telechecked. Hunters
must call 1-800-245-4263 and report
the harvest. (See the General Information
section for details.)
A carcass tag is required if a harvested
elk leaves the hunter's possession
for any reason.
