  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

    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 feel bad for Trey Fisher. The kid is going into his senior year at North Florida Christian in Tallahassee and he's being forced to leave. I think he's supposed to be the starting QB this year too.

    How does a kid at 5’8 even get to be a HS QB?

    What was the shortest CFB QB? Flutie at 5’10?

     

    Chase Daniel in NFL was listed at a generous 6'.

    May be this kid grows a couple more inches his senior year.

    good.  no reason to have dipshits inching down san jac to their sweet parking spots in between a thousand fans.  good parking spots are fun but that shit was always dumb as fuck. 

    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.

    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.

    Yea basically don't go to aggy like allen and you might have a shot. Sounds like Gunnell is making the wise choice by not going to the tackle box where dreams go to die.

    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.

    Just a reminder how stupid decisions when we're 18 can haunt us long into adulthood.

    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...

    Gunnell info has been all over the place. I'd be curious to see the depth chart breakdown from his list of schools, I bet he goes to the path of least resistance towards starting as a true freshman 

    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.

    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

    Alliterationpalooza...

    Invalid summary.  Leal basically said go ahead, recruit over me, I'm going to go where I want.  Jimbo now has no credibility on the no visit issue.  

    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. ;)
