death Sir Herbert Atkinson Barker Died 21 Jul 1950 at age 81 (born 21 Apr 1869). English osteopath and manipulative surgeon who treated knee pain and cartilage problems in top sports players as well as the general public. Barker treated patients on his yacht in the Channel Isles. He maintained that a knee cartilage operation was unnecessary in a very large proportion of cases and he claimed that manipulation was sufficient without any surgery. The community of Montego Bay, Jamaica, credits the genesis of its tourist trade to the famous chiropractor Sir Herbert Barker in England because he promoted the sea water as having curative powers at the Doctor's Cave bathing club there. (That location had been donated to the town in 1906 for that purpose by the eccentric physician, Dr. Alexander McCatty.) |

Tau neutrino In 2000, an international collaboration of scientists at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced the first direct evidence for the subatomic particle called the tau neutrino, the third kind of neutrino known to particle physicists. They reported four instances of a neutrino interacting with an atomic nucleus to produce a charged particle called a tau lepton, the signature of a tau neutrino. The tau (rhymes with "now") neutrino is the third neutrino of the Standard Model of elementary particles, a theoretical description that groups all particles into three generations. Experimenters identify them by recording neutrino interactions. First generation electron neutrinos were created in 1956, and second generation muon neutrinos in 1962. |
