Sultan Catto is an American physicist. He is currently Professor of Physics and Executive Officer of the PhD program at the City University of New York, The Graduate Center.
Prof. Sultan Catto has contributed to the development of elementary particle physics, especially in the area of dynamical supersymmetry, and in mathematics in the areas of spectral theory, automorphic forms, and "octonionic projective geometries" (see Octonions and Projective Geometry), areas with applications in quantum mechanics.
Biography
Currently he is the Chairman of the Physics PhD Program at CUNY Graduate School
His current academic titles are:
* Professor and Executive Officer, Ph.D. Program , Physics, CUNY Graduate Center
* Professor, Baruch College, CUNY
* Professor, Center for Theoretical Physics, Rockefeller University
* Associate Research Scientist, Henry Krumb School of Mines, Columbia University
Awards
He was awarded the “Benjamin W. Lee Prize” by the International School of Subnuclear Physics (Ettore Majorana) in Sicily, Italy, the award having been refereed by the three Nobel Laureates, T. D. Lee, Sheldon Glashow and E. P. Wigner, and granted for his work on quark-diquark supersymmetry.
Research and work in progress
Starting with a series of papers published between 1984 and the present, he and his collaborator (Feza Gürsey) exploited internal (dynamical) supersymmetries to construct a combined classification scheme for mesons and baryons. The theoretical models they developed led to the existence of multiquark bound states which were recently grounded in experiments (for example a0 (980) and f0 (975) are of this type). For further details, see Concise Encyclopedia of Supersymmetry.
More recently he is completing a book on "Algebraic Approaches to Particle Theory." The book will cover Relativistic Quark Models, Constraint Superalgebras, Supergroups in Critical dimensions and Lattices Generated by Discrete Jordan Algebras.
Another book, on "Octonionic Structures in Physics," is nearing completion (with Carlos J. Moreno at Baruch College and the CUNY Graduate School).

Fingers 6 is a UK Ultimate team based in Manchester, United Kingdom.
History
In 1993 Master's student Ben Rainbow founded an Ultimate Frisbee team based at Manchester Metropolitan University. The team became known as Fingers 6 Steps Ahead of Our Minds, or Fingers 6 for short, the name originating from the title of a song by the never-popular free-noise group Trumans Water. Rejected names included 'Bullet Baxter', 'Flaky Pastry', 'Turnip Farm' and 'Finn Family Moomintroll'.
Fingers 6 rapidly became a successful team, finishing 7th in the UK's Indoor Nationals competition in its second year of competition, thanks to the enthusiasm and commitment of the players, and the coaching of two greats of UK Ultimate, Doug Milne and Harry Golby.
By 1995, most of the students who had formed the majority of the first Fingers 6 cohort had graduated. At the team's Annual General Meeting that year, the decision was taken that Fingers 6 should remain as the ongoing University team; and a new open team was formed, Chevron Action Flash. Named after a song by the never-popular indie pop outfit Comet Gain. Tragically, Ben Rainbow died in 1997 from a rare Liver cancer, to this day Chevron Action Flash have a rainbow in their logo to remember him by.
Present
Manchester Metropolitan Students Union (MMUnion) Ultimate Frisbee Club is still called Fingers 6, having been established well over 10 years now. They own a host of Trophies from various competitive events over the years; and have began the Ultimate careers of some high-level UK players. They continue to recruit beginners from the student body, giving most their first glimpse of an unknown sport.
In 2003, a female sect of the student team was created by Louise Charlotte Cable aka 'Moowi', and that team was called Floorplay. Floorplay went to win ladies indoor student nationals in 2005, and the team still plays today.

began bi-monthly production in 1993. It is a national publication featuring articles from professional journalists and contributors who are experts in their particular fields.
A staple of Business Development Outlook Magazine (Also known as BDO Magazine or simply, Outlook Magazine) is having a CEO on each cover, with a story on their business and career. If a CEO is not featured, prominent public figures or important national stories have been known to be on the cover.
Colin Powell, Gov. George W. Bush, Sir Richard Branson, David Neeleman, Bill Gates are a small sampling of past cover figures.
Each issue includes articles relating to a specific industry or topic, such as Automotive, Plastics, Aerospace and Defense, Distribution and Logiistics, Biotechnology, Hi-Tech, and Quality of Life are examples.
Business Development Outlook Magazine is also known for its "Executive Lifestyle" section that highlights or reviews certain restuarants, resorts, new alcoholic products, cutting-edge technology, or anything else that might be of interest to the business executive "after hours." These are non-advertorial spots.
Other topics covered include sports, financial, best sites to relocate a business, a dynamic or intriguing global location, but other section categories evolve each year.
Most of Business Development Outlook's advertisers are Economic Developers.
