I am sad to report that a formidable colleague, Ken Lane (Boston U), has died. Ken made many notable contributions, among them his work on the Cornell charmonium model, dynamical symmetry breaking in the form of extended technicolor, and supercollider physics. He shared the 2011 Sakurai Prize. RIP!

Willis Lamb Nobel Lecture, 1955: "I have heard it said that «the finder of a new elementary particle used to be rewarded by a Nobel Prize, but such a discovery now ought to be punished by a $10,000 [now $121,400] fine»". But I celebrate with LHCb. More doubly heavy baryons! Long live spectroscopy!
