I’m in for this sunday – and good to hear cobalt is our color. I’ll google it and see what exactly cobalt is.
Cobalt ( /ˈkoʊbɒlt/ or /ˈkoʊbɔːlt/) is a chemical element with symbol Co and atomic number 27. It is found naturally only in chemically combined form. The free element, produced by reductive smelting, is a hard, lustrous, silver-gray metal.
Cobalt-based blue pigments have been used since ancient times for jewelry and paints, and to impart a distinctive blue tint to glass, but the color was later thought by alchemists to be due to the known metal bismuth. Miners had long used the name kobold ore (German for goblin ore) for some of the blue-pigment producing minerals; they were named because they were poor in known metals and gave poisonous arsenic-containing fumes upon smelting. In 1735, such ores were found to be reducible to a new metal (the first discovered since ancient times), and this was ultimately named for the kobold.
Nowadays, some cobalt is produced specifically from various metallic-lustered ores, for example cobaltite (CoAsS), but the main source of the element is as a by-product of copper and nickel mining. The copper belt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia yields most of the cobalt metal mined worldwide.
Cobalt is used in the preparation of magnetic, wear-resistant and high-strength alloys. Cobalt silicate and cobalt(II) aluminate (CoAl2O4, cobalt blue) give a distinctive deep blue color to glass, smalt, ceramics, inks, paints and varnishes. Cobalt occurs naturally as only one stable isotope, cobalt-59. Cobalt-60 is a commercially important radioisotope, used as a radioactive tracer and in the production of gamma rays.
Cobalt is the active center of coenzymes called cobalamin or vitamin B12, and is an essential trace element for all animals. Cobalt is also an active nutrient for bacteria, algae and fungi.

Oh – and get there early so we START at 8!!!! Lets get a longer run in!
Will try!
Also confirmed: Andrea, Chris (50/50), Doug (+1), Omar, Steve & Wolfgang. We (should) have 10.
I can’t wait to play with my gamma ray radioactive isotope shirt.
Did any of you happen to pick up a blue sweatshirt after last week’s game? I am going to swing by the field in case anyone picked it up. Thanks for letting me play last weekend.
Coming now
We had 11 today, and a good game:
Blazej, Chris (first half), Dave, Joe R, Yuval (second half) & Wolfgang — scored 13.
vs.
Andrea, Joe N, John, Neil, Steve & Yuval (first half) — scored 7.
