  1. Physicist E C G Sudarshan, who missed Noble Prize 9 times, dies at 86 In 2007, the Indian government recognised and awarded the physicist with the second highest civilian award, Padma Vibhushan Press Trust of India | Houston Last Updated at May 15, 2018 14:18 IST The cremation of eminent Indian-American theoretical physicist, EC George Sudarshan who passed away on Sunday in Austin, Texas will be held on Thursday. According to the family sources and close friends, Sudarshan, 86, died of natural causes. He is survived by his wife Bhamathi Sudarshan and two children. The cremation services will be held in Austin, Texas on Thursday. Sudarshan had been teaching as a professor at University of Texas for over 40 years. He served as Honorary Advisory Council Member of Houston Sri Meenakshi Temple. He was associated with the temple from 1977. Sudarshan, an outstanding theoretical physicist, was born in Kottayam, Kerala, India, in 1931. The professional career of Sudarshan spans five decades. He discovered the V - A theory of weak interactions while working on his PhD thesis under the late Robert E. Marshak. He has made remarkable discoveries in many fields of physics, including quantum optics, tachyons, quantum Zeno effect, non-invariance groups, positive maps of density matrices, quantum computation, etc. His contributions include also relations between east and west science, philosophy and religion. In 2007, the Indian government recognised and awarded the physicist with the second highest civilian award, Padma Vibhushan. He was also awarded the Dirac Medal in 2010, which is known to be given out to scientists who have made substantial contributions in theoretical physics, computational chemistry and mathematics. The renowned physicist was even recommended for the Nobel Prize nine times but never awarded.

    I always knew Sichuan Airlines sucks! Now we got confirmation.
  3. No, he broke off from the toe lineup and instigated a coup de-toe!
  4. You're 5 foot nothin', 100 and nothin', and you have barely a speck of athletic ability. And you hung in there with the best college football players in the land for 2 years....
  5. Chase Daniel in NFL was listed at a generous 6'. May be this kid grows a couple more inches his senior year.
  6. @futureman thanks for telling me about the existence of such a thread. i seem to hardly ever go past the recruiting board.
  7. wow! Texans willing to give up car parking in order to have a more urban experience?! I need to come visit Texas again... Those ideas about carnival/beer garden/live music...pedestrianized streets...that's where it's at.
  8. quoting Seinfeld is an affliction of mine.
  9. There are 40 Braydens on UT's team now?! GEORGE: You know, if I could get this Coco woman down to Kruger, they wouldn't be able to call me Koko anymore because Kruger would never allow 2 Kokos. JERRY: Sounds like he runs a real tight ship.
  10. General ineptitude using iOS So, you're the General. General E Inept, commanding officer.
  11. you're slacking at your job. it's "aggy", not "aggie".
  12. got a hot girlfriend while at A&M. rode the pine at UH, got benched by a backup the following year. now skipping final year of eligibility in order to be a backup at Caroline. may be the point is, make one decision and stick with it.
  13. more pertinently for him, he seems to keep making stupid decisions. It's his repeated jumping around... feels like a pattern, and his college career stats certainly didn't get help from all that moving around. then again, he's a signed player in the NFL, getting paid big bucks to be a backup. so, better than most people do on sports forums...
  14. Not to cast aspersions on the kid, but that sounds like a Kyle Allen version 2.0. I mean, depth chart is everyone's consideration... even Jalen Hurts is thinking of transferring if he doesn't get to start. But isn't there anything more that ought to go in that decision, and shouldn't the decision stick all things being the same? Speaking of Kyle Allen, he skipped his last year of eligibility and signed with Carolina... again likely backing up Cam Newton at least for first few years. Going from a high school record breaker, he basically ended up spending more time bouncing around and sitting on the bench than playing. https://catcrave.com/2018/05/03/carolina-panthers-kyle-allen-bridge-future/
  15. that's why there are two of 'em on each female. i get it. but really, just make it non-partisan... tits for all!
  16. see what happen? all these things, or specially just the Grant Gunnell thing? Since he apparently might pull a couple other big Longhorn targets towards Ohio State if he were to end up there (but not so much to Arizona)? And what's with all the dang alliterative names?! Darrell Dickey Grant Gunnell Kliff Kingsbury Maverick McIvor Alliterationpalooza...
  17. The weather forecast in PHL? Stormy... haha She's performing at a gentlemen's club here tonight and tomorrow. I wonder who shows up-- more Democrats or more Republicans? But more to the point, she seems too old to be pole dancing, no? Would you go see her? https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/Stormy-Daniels-Performing-at-Northeast-Philadelphia-Gentlemens-Club-481958201.html?_osource=SocialFlowTwt_PHBrand
  18. Ya'll keep bringing up "no visit policy"; it's sort of like a straw man, and if it makes ya'll feel great to beat up on the straw man, have at it. Great that you got Leal on campus. You've tried hard to get Richardson on campus. It's hard to disprove a negative. Horns blogosphere insists there is/was a no visit policy; since there isn't one, but you can't provide a proof for a negative, then you're always put on the defensive. It's actually not a bad coping mechanism.
  19. Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean the world isn't out there to get me! There is no come back to that!
  20. which is totally different from Nana Papa Yaw Dwene "Pops" Mensah-Bonsu so far, one of my favorite names among the pro players.
  21. mama NaNa and papa NaNa would obviously not approve of this.
