Parton (particle physics)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Par...icle_physics%
29
In particle physics, the parton model was proposed by Richard Feynman in 1969 as a way to analyze high-energy hadron collisions.[1] It was later recognized that partons describe the same objects now more commonly referred to as quarks and gluons.
In this model, a hadron (for example, a proton) is composed of a number of point-like constituents, termed "partons". Additionally, the hadron is in a reference frame where it has infinite momentum — a valid approximation at high energies. Thus, parton motion is slowed by time dilation, and the hadron charge distribution is Lorentz-contracted, so incoming particles will be scattered "instantaneously and incoherently". The parton model was immediately applied to electron-proton deep inelastic scattering by Bjorken and Paschos.[2] Later, with the experimental observation of Bjorken scaling, the validation of the quark model, and the confirmation of asymptotic freedom in quantum chromodynamics, partons were matched to quarks and gluons. The parton model remains a justifiable approximation at high energies, and others have extended the theory over the years.
An interesting fact about partons is that a parton is defined with respect to a physical scale (as probed by the inverse of the momentum transfer). For instance, a quark parton at one length scale can turn out to be a superposition of a quark parton state with a quark parton and a gluon parton state together with other states with more partons at a smaller length scale. Similarly, a gluon parton at one scale can resolve into a superposition of a gluon parton state, a gluon parton and quark-antiquark partons state and other multiparton states. Because of this, the number of partons in a hadron actually goes up with momentum transfer! At low energies (i.e. large length scales), a baryon contains three valence partons (quarks) and a meson contains two valence partons (a quark and an antiquark parton). At higher energies however, we have sea partons (nonvalence partons) in addition to valence partons.

If there was a major pileup on I-75, my hospital would be overwhelmed. If there were a plane crash, forget about it.
racy: I trained in, among other places, Jacobi Hospital in the Bronx, which was indeed a major trauma center with a better than decent burn unit. A medium-sized fire, which sometimes happens in the Bronx, would send us a couple of major burns and maybe ten or twelve smoke eaters. It'd keep the lab and the OR busy all night, and all we prayed for was that nobody'd come in gutshot.
Oh, I'm in trouble. Just gave Eli a link for something dad posted earlier.

Although Democrats are still tangled in a fractious presidential primary, both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama would probably beat presumptive GOP nominee John McCain in the popular vote if the election were held now, according to a Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll released today.
McCain remains competitive, but the poll identified one important vulnerability: Voters ranked him lowest among the three candidates on who could best handle the nation's economic problems, by far the most pressing concern for the public irrespective of party, gender or income.

VIENNA (AFP) - Austrian incest father Josef Fritzl, who imprisoned his daughter for 24 years and made her bear seven children, said he locked her up to protect her from outside vices, in comments published Thursday.
Fritzl, 73, said he had grown up under Nazi rule which had an influence on him but he denied abusing daughter Elisabeth from the age of 11 as she has told police.
"She did not obey any rules, she hung around in dodgy bars all night, drank, smoked," Fritzl said of his daughter, who last week emerged from the underground bunker where she was kept with three of her children.
"That's why I had to provide, I had to create a place, in which I could keep Elisabeth away from the outside world, by force if I had to," he said in comments released by his lawyer to the weekly magazine News.
"I grew up under the Nazis, drills and discipline meant a lot at the time. I probably adopted some of this, unconsciously of course. But I'm no monster," he said, adding that he had agonised over whether to free her.

But many close McCain advisers think the personal rift between the two men is too wide to bridge, at least in the near term. After all, the last time Bush tried to smooth things over-at a South Carolina debate in early February-the result was less than promising. During a commercial break, Bush grasped McCain’s hands and made a sugary plea for less acrimony in their campaign. When McCain pointed out that Bush’s allies were savaging him in direct-mail and phone campaigns, Bush played the innocent. “Don’t give me that shit,” McCain growled, pulling away. “And take your hands off me.”

Senate Democrats: Close oil speculation loophole
http://biz.yahoo.com/cnnm/080508...rices.html?
.v=1
Democratic Senators are working to combat rising oil and fuel prices by attacking what many Americans see as the heart of the problem: speculative trading.
Many politicians and energy industry analysts blame oil speculators for cashing in on the fuel cost crisis and, in the process, boosting the price of oil. Hedge funds, trusts, and independent investors have also poured funds into crude oil as a hedge against the weakened dollar.The "Enron loophole" was codified in the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000, allowing oil futures to be traded electronically in unregulated markets outside of the jurisdiction of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission.
But Levin also said he is introducing a bill, calling for an end to all electronic loopholes, including the buying of oil electronically in regulated markets like the commodities exchange in London.
"[U.S.] computer terminals will be governed by U.S. regulation, because the computer terminal is located in the United States," Levin noted.
By making global speculative trading more difficult for investors, Levin and other Senate Democrats believe the artificial inflation of the price of oil will eventually fizzle.
"This administration needs to begin to lead," said Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I. "They need to put together a task force ... and begin to look seriously at what's happening in the marketplace."

Well, then there's that whole bit where Frederic March refuses to use the purloined love letters against Burt Lancaster, deciding instead to appeal to the public's intelligence.
The first time I saw that movie I was around 14 and even I could see the flaw in that plan...
I saw a squid committed one time. A squid is a tactical maneuver with a car when boxed too closely by other cars. You slam your car into reverse and floor it, ramming the car behind you, hopefully causing to move backward. Then you slam your car into low drive and ram the car in front of you. Repeat the maneuver several times, and then serenely pull out into traffic. It works best with a 1979 Buick.
I saw a squid executed flawlessly by a late middle age, obviously wealthy, woman in furs who staggered out of a cocktail lounge in Cheyenne, Wyoming in the early afternoon one November morning. A squid master.
Was it the letters of Biz Markee or the Marquis of Queensbury Rulez, suxors?
Atrios posts the most divisive videos he can think of because he likes to stir shit up and watch the commenters chew off each others fur.
i think that is the only davis grubb book i ever read. hmm google time
dave: in the book, other conspirators go to Scott, and tell him that, while the president is too much of a gentleman to use the letters, they aren't, and Scott damned well needed to remember that.

That's not a movie, it's a turd.
has anyone mentioned "infinity"?
OK, fine...
Two White Arms
Three Came Home
The Unholy Three
Three On a Match
The Four Masked Men
Five Against the House
Seven Footprints to Satan
Private Hell 39
Nobody's mentioned "Car 54, Where Are You?"

OK, folks -
Time to clock out for now.
How about "Pi." ???
So let's put an end to all that.
montag, damn, I like that movie, too.
Michael Moore's weakest film, "The Big One." And one of Sammy Fuller's strongest, "The Big Red One."
that throwout to second was awarded on style points...
I can't believe that Toby's over here trying to get somebody to wish him luck on a date.
Astounding....
That video was so divisive, I thought to myself, "Self, this is not for me/us," and turned it right off. Since then I have hated Atrios and I will vote for John McCain because he advertises on Eschaton and his hair was less gray in 1975.

I am often convinced that's true.

I tried that once @ 4 a.m. in Topeka, but as I was in a Volkswagen, it didn't work so good.
The Four Little Foxes
It's Private Hell 36, come to think of it.
Senility.
Guy, you almost cost me a lung on that headline.
Nice find.
Another McBush dissing Fearless Leader Annecdote.
montag, damn, I like that movie, too.
Which one, Grandmere?
It's Private Hell 36, come to think of it.
Senility.

Wombat,
While I'm book pimping, the screening of "Titticut Follies" that I saw last weekend was brought to town by this guy:
http://tinyurl.com/4byvwp
(It's an OK book, and I can't imagine that it would interest anyone outside of Beantown much, but damn, he's had a hard road. Got popped by the FBI for the unpardonable crime of *(cough)* selling promos *(cough)*, and literally wrote it while under house arrest. Some interesting trivia, like the fact that Al Gore's real-life Harvard roommate Tommy Lee Jones played one of Ryan O'Neal's in "Love Story...")
In a Year of 13 Moons...a lighthearted romp if there ever was one.
hello folks
Forgot 'The Twelve Chairs'. Shouldn't have.
Montag, Pi.
I was at some site that had a clip called "Four Girls With Strap-Ons". Does this count in the movie game?
Simels, gimme some advice. Do I take flowers? Do I let her disgusting mophead of a dog sniff my anatomical correctness at the door?
{{{Uncle Blodge!!!}}}
It's Friday, and you're not dead. Things are looking up!

Twelve Angry Men.
OMG, Two Girls, One Cup!
Atrios just lurvs to feck with peoples ears with this musical trash.
Obscure one: "Ten Rillington Place."
racy, why not?
We aren't limiting it to certain genres.
movie game - you guys could just make the shit up and I wouldn't know.
I thought the 400 blows was a porn movie.
I can't believe that Toby's over here trying to get somebody to wish him luck on a date.
Rather surrealistic.
both kids are down. bill b, how did the Sox do against the Twins?
wassup with everyone else? is Toby still macking on Simels?
I can't believe that Toby's over here trying to get somebody to wish him luck on a date.
Astounding....
steve hussein simels
tell me, he's worried cause the bedsprings might poke his blowup date?
It's Friday, and you're not dead. Things are looking up!

There's a holdup in the Bronx
Brooklyn's broken out in fights
There's a traffic jam in Harlem
That's backed up to Jackson Heights
There's a scout troup short a child
Khrushcev's due at Idelwid....
Car 54 -- where are you?????
One word.
Ironside.
'Nuff said!

naw, it was simels first attempt at an autobiography.
Mrs. Ibrahim, I think Simels is chuckling at Tobes. As usual
Great Sheets!
suppose 12 angy men has been posted...
The 400 Blows? What a pretentious sack of Gallic self-loathing.
Hey Fokowi!
"Things are looking up!"
my car's still sick and my one kid is having problems.
but I met a person who actually broke a color barrier this week (the first african american to...) and heard that some kids at my school are starting a petition to keep me.
Berlin Alexanderplatz
Phila: got that one way north.
'Roaring Twenties'
'The 42nd Parallel'
You are just jealous 'cause you haven't have 400 blows.
They are making great strides in AI and robotics. Didn't know that inflatable dolls could cook now.
new topic above

Toby had a naked woman banging on his door once..to get out.
So good luck Toby, flowers are nice, however the number one rule is to keep your eyes above the horizon.
nd heard that some kids at my school are starting a petition to keep me.
kids fucking rock. and can smell quality 100 yards from here to Sunday.
Bo, damn, why would guys bother to get married, then?
Me, I found 'The 400 Blows' deeply moving, and utterly unpretentious.

Was he still wearing the nitrile gloves?
Toby, just be yourself. Tell her how frightened you are of Islamofascism, and how Obama's a member of a Nigerian sleeper cell. Then ask her to hold you and stop you from shaking, a la Barry Manilow.
It can't fail.
"Bo, damn, why would guys bother to get married, then?"
for the food. duh.
Eva Mendes can suck her own toes. Where is her Nobel Prize?
400 Blows is "self-loathing"?
Man, what an education I'm getting here tonight.
"I can't believe that Toby's over here trying to get somebody to wish him luck on a date."
hope she doesn't bark.
Unk B: you, sir, are a rich man. Folk who think it's about money are the bane of this world.
Nigerian?

I didn't know there was a name for this but a sloshed biddy did it to us once in Hyannisport -- and we were sitting in the car! We filed a report at the police station -- directly across the street, but a few days later two guys in suits came to our digs in P-town acting sort of muscle-y and told us we should take the money they brought in an envelope and let it go. We did.

The squiderette wasn't Rose Kennedy, was it?
bill b, how did the Sox do against the Twins?
They're on the road. Up a run in the 6th. Where the hell is Zap? I still want to heckle him about that unsightly ballpark, and this pitcher named "Boof."
-d.
Unk: neither do most rich people most days; they're too busy getting and spending.
I hate how you hippies coerced HRC into attacking Gen. Petraeus.
sheets
How did McCain get shot down? Missle, flak, fuck-up ...? What were his missions generally and his mission when he got the twinky up his tailpipe. I don't have time to read the history ... or the interest in delving too deeply into his Vietnam career.
