Fermilab and independent financial advice SLAC put out the symmetry Magazine. This magazine is aimed at the general (non-HEP) scientist and general public. It covers a wide range of topics and is put together quite professionally -- unlike most particle physics publications it looks good. In their shorts section they had an article titled Don't cite anyone over 30? -- which discusses the most productive age for a physicist. I'm past 30 now -- will be 40 in 6 months. So I must admit that I bristle a bit at the suggestion my most productive years are past. I certainly feel like I'm doing a lot. At least, I'm answering a lot of email. Doesn't that count for anything? Which is probably the key to that plot. The older I get the more different responsibilities I take on. Not only do I have various DZERO responsibilities, but now departmental as well. And on top of all that I want to produce physics. When I was a graduate student and post-doc I spent much more of my time on research and less on things like, well,... email. I also spend much more of my time advising others than I used to. I don't really get credit for that -- it isn't as if I've really done any work. The people I advise do all the work; so they should be getting all the credit. By extension, of course, I do get some credit, but it isn't the same as if I'd done the work myself. I conclude it is both true and false that your best years are when you are 30 or younger. Yes, you do more direct research and probably produce the most new science.

Yesterday in Phoenix, Go Crazy Marketing organized and presented a workshop for real estate professionals, sponsored by 1st Class online login Funding . The winner of the door prize drawing was to get a blog setup at the workshop by Dave Barnhart of Business Blogging Pros , but alas... the timing of the workshop at precisely the moment of the power outage in San Francisco kept Dave from setting up the blog during the workshop as intended. Rochelle Kosanovich, Branch Manager of J. Roberts & Company won the drawing and Dave will be working with her directly to set up the account. Dave and I s poke afterwards and if during the workshop contingency planning any of us had said "well, what if Typepad goes down?", we would have been derided and scoffed at... hmmm. Nonetheless about a dozen real estate agents attended and by and large, I think they all walked away recognizing that social media and blogging are important strategies for the real estate agent of the future - the Agent2.0 ™ . As we arrived, setup for the event was underway with the Jobing.com crew here in Phoenix and for reasons unknown, the Typepad.com domain was completely unavailable - the technical party thought that perhaps Jobing.com had banned the Typepad domain - not true of course, but it was not a realization that we could comprehend until we saw a screen from Typepad indicating the outage.

Well, Sammy Sosa hit a milestone home run last night, and Fernando Vina and John Kruk spent a few moments (ESPN spent far more time over the course of "Baseball Tonight" and "Sportscenter") touting the achievement. They discussed Sosa's Hall of Fame worthiness (of course he is, sayeth the experts), whether he's a first balloter (not sure, sayeth the experts). But one thing they didn't discuss was steroids (the AP mentions it near the end of an ESPN-linked game summary ). Neither of the former players uttered one word about the suspicions surrounding Sosa, his "testimony" to Congress, or his physical changes that, in replays of his 1st, 100th through 600th dingers, were ridiculously obvious. It's like a time warp has happened back to '98-'99, and all the ignominious, bulging history of those days has just been left for dead. It's ironic, then, that on the day Sosa hits #600, fireworks went off over Arlington, Tom Hicks (who employs Sosa and paid for the fireworks) felt the alka slim need to carpetbomb accusations of someone else's suspected transgressions, while Jason Giambi checked his calendar for openings. All this as fans are encouraged to celebrate Sosa, as former players inflatedly gush over his "comeback".
