Eric Bruntlett's return could lead to more playing time for Chris Burke. With Bruntlett and Burke, Astros manager Phil Garner has more flexibility. Without Bruntlett, Burke was the only backup middle infielder. Now, Bruntlett gives Garner two backup middle infielders on days Burke and Bruntlett don't start.
Bruntlett and Burke might easily be the Astros' most versatile players. Not only can they play the middle infield, but they also can and have played all three outfield positions at a superb level.
More than anything, though, Bruntlett provides a boost in the middle of the infield.
"Sort of in the back of my mind there's been a few times when I've not necessarily made a move because (catcher Brad) Ausmus might have been the guy I had go play the infield if we had to do something," Garner said. "So having Bruntlett back gives me a lot of flexibility to be able to use Burke early in the game or to use Bruntlett early in the game if I want to because, No. 1, Bruntlett can play shortstop. I know Burke can play shortstop also. Bruntlett can also play other positions. It gives us an opportunity to do things quicker."

hi honey, how was your day?
- First, telling and being told about positive events were both significantly associated with positive feelings at the end of the day for both men and women. I know what you're thinking: the participants were likely happier because they experienced positive events during their day, not because they talked about them. This was not so. Individuals who did not disclose their positive experiences with their mates reported less positive emotions at the end of their day than individuals who did discuss their positive experiences with their partners. So, it wasn't about whether people experienced positive events or not (each person had one positive event each day), it was about whether they told their significant other about those events that mattered most when it came down to their emotions. Likewise, individuals' emotions were not necessarily influenced just because their partners experienced positive events; but instead, people were happier at the end of the day when their partners discussed those positive experiences with them.
- Second, contrary to the authors' predictions, neither telling nor being told about stressful events were associated with heightened negative emotions. So, an individual's own emotions were not impacted by whether they talked about or were told about the stressful experiences of the day.
- Third, participants' daily emotions were also influenced by whether their partners were involved in their most positive and most stressful experiences of their day. Specifically, men reported an equal amount of positive emotions when their most positive event of that day involved their partner versus when they disclosed their most positive event (not involving their partner) to their partner. For women, however, disclosure was more influential on their emotions than having their partners involved in the positive experiences. As for stressful events, both men and women reported higher negative emotions when their most stressful event of the day involved their partner than when they disclosed a stressful event (not involving their partner) to their partner.
- Talking to your mate about the positive aspects of his or her day is more than just small talk; it's an important conversation that you should engage in to increase positive emotions in yourself and in your mate.

why YOU should be having sex, sex, and more sex
- ...don't have a significant other: As you've probably noticed, a lot of the research cited above dealt with number of orgasms as opposed to actual frequency of sexual intercourse. So, you can masturbate and still reap many of the benefits discussed above.
- ... don't like the sex you're having: One of the best ways to improve your sex life is to open the lines of communication between you and your partner. Disclosing your sexual likes and dislikes to your mate can improve sexual and relationship satisfaction, bring you closer as a couple, increase feelings of intimacy and trust between the two of you, and even increase pleasure during sexual activities. You could also try new sexual positions if you don't like your current sex life. Cosmopolitan Magazine's website has a column they call the "Sex Position of the Week" that could be helpful. Trying something new may increase your sexual satisfaction.
- ... can't seem to get in the mood: Try these suggestions. Still need help? You could read the poem you wrote for your mate last week, entice your partner by giving him/her a sensual massage, or surprise your partner with some sexy lingerie.
- ... don't have enough time: Make time! Sex is an important part of our lives. Even if making time to you means once a week, you should always make time to share these intimate (and very beneficial) moments with your partner.

Blanks to have "Tommy John" surgery Friday
Written by | Bill Center | 2:20 p.m., Jul 28, 2010
Instead of adding a player as Saturday's trading deadline approaches, the Padres have lost one for this and likely most of the 2011 season.
Outfielder-first baseman Kyle Blanks will have "Tommy John" elbow reconstruction surgery Friday on his right elbow.
Blanks has been on the disabled list since May 17 after developing pain in his right elbow. Although the club officially said a recent MRI showed no damage to the ligament, the decision was made Wednesday to proceed with the reconstruction surgery.
Blanks was already having a disappointing season when he was injured. After starting the season batting fourth in the lineup, the 6-foot-6, 270-pound Blanks was hitting .157 with three homers and 15 RBI after 33 games. He had also struck out 46 times in 102 at-bats.
Blanks was one of the keys to the Padres late-season success in 2009. Promoted from Triple-A Portland on June 19, 2009, Blanks hit .250 with 10 homers and 22 RBI in 54 games before going on the disabled list Aug. 29 with a strained arch in his right foot. Blanks remained on the disabled list through the end of the season with plantar fascitis.
The loss of Blanks for the 2011 season could impact any decisions the Padres make regarding Adrian Gonzalez. Blanks, who doesn't turn 24 until Sept. 11, was seen as the heir apparent to Gonzalez were the two-time All-Star traded. First base is Blanks natural position.
"Tommy John" surgery is most often linked to pitchers who blow out the ulnar collateral ligament in their pitching elbow. But the Padres have another outfielder who had elbow reconstruction surgery.
Chris Denorfia missed all of the 2007 season after injuring his elbow on a throw during a 2007 spring exhibition game.
"I didn't feel like I was back until about 18 months after the surgery," said Denorfia. "Mechanically, I felt different. And at first it was painful to use the top-heavy model of bat I liked to swing. I had to relearn my swing.
"The timetable for everyone rehabbing from that type of surgery is different. It was more difficult than I thought it would be."

An Irishman told by doctors he would be wheelchair-bound for life after an operation went wrong instead took part in the London Olympics in gymnastics and had his story featured on NBC and in The New York Times.
Kieran Behan was left hardly able to walk and highly sensitive to even the slightest touch to his leg. Doctors told him to prepare to be wheelchair bound for the rest of his life.
"Doctors told me, stop thinking about your crazy dreams because you'll never walk again and you must accept that it's over for you," Behan said. "But I just kept saying: 'No, no, no — this is not the rest of my life. This is not how it's going to play out.'"
Before the series of unfortunate injuries threatened Behan, 23, of Ireland, he had fallen in love with and set his dreams at one day attending the Olympics as a gymnast.
This week will see Behan's dreams come true, despite several adversities he overcame in his journey to the Summer Olympics.
The New York Times traced Behan's inspirational story from his childhood up until today. Behan remembers first being enamored by gymnastics at the age of six while watching them on the Summer Olympic Games. At age 8, he began taking lessons and showed great promise as a tumbler.
However, at age 10, all that promise was seriously threatened when a benign tumor was found on Behan's leg. During the surgery, Behan's doctor left a tourniquet on too long and tied too tight, causing nerve damage in the aspiring gymnast's left leg.
Coupled with the bleak outlook, Behan remembers cruel schoolchildren taunting him at the time.
"They'd say, 'Oh, look at the cripple,' and that was so hard for me because, already, I was doing gymnastics and I was short, and I was doing a girls' sport," said Behan.
"So a lot of times, I would sit at the kitchen window and watch all the kids running around the park and playing football, and I'd get pretty emotional. All I wanted to do was be an ordinary kid again."
Despite all the adversity, Behan made an astounding comeback. Fifteen months after the botched surgery, Behan was getting back to normal.
However, only about 8 months after Behan was back in the swing of things at gymnastics, he encountered was has been described to be a "freak accident."
Behan smacked the back of his head on the metal horizontal bar during a routine and tumbled to the ground in a lump, resulting in traumatic brain injury and severe damage to the vestibular canal of his inner ear.
The damage affected Behan so greatly that the slightest movement could trigger him to blackout, which he did perhaps thousands of times following the accident.
Behan's mother Bernie Behan remembers her son struggling to turn his head, feed himself and walk without stumbling and looking as if he were dead drunk.
"He kept telling the doctors, 'I can walk — tell them, Mom, that I can walk,' and my heart was breaking," said Bernie. "I'd go to the car park and cry my eyes out, then walk back and say: 'Yes, Kieran, you can do this. We can do this. I believe you, son.'"
Two months of slow progress in the hospital following the freak accident left both Bernie and Kieran frustrated. One day, Bernie scooped up Kieran and took him home, quit her job and resolved herself to care for her injured son.
Two years would pass from the freak accident until Kieran finally began to regain hand-eye coordination and was back on his feet, leading to doctors nicknaming him the "miracle boy."
Kieran was keen to head back to gymnastics, so off he went with his Olympic dream still thriving. It was a family effort to raise funds to finance the lessons - Kieran would sweep the floors of the gym and jump over subway turnstiles to get to practice in the most thrifty manner. His parents would host bake sales, candy sales and car washes to help make ends meet.
Still, Kieran was not in the clear. He broke his arm and fractured his wrist resulting in so many hospital visits during his teenage years that officials suspected he might been being abused.
In 2009, Kieran suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, forcing him into six months of rehabilitation. In 2010, just six weeks prior to his senior debut at the European championships, he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his other knee.
The 2010 injury nearly did him and his Olympic dream in for good, but still after so much, Kieran persevered.
One of Kieran's coaches, Simon Gale, said "He made it back from all of those other setbacks, but that one was the hardest for him because the championships were just around the corner, and he was ready."
"He couldn't handle it. I wouldn't say he was suicidal, but I'm just glad that his girlfriend was there to watch him at night."

Bosch has developed a new stop/start engine system which can be used on a much wider range of automatic gearboxes.
Although there is already a small number of automatic cars with the stop/start facility, the new system will be suitable for a much bigger range of gearboxes and it can also be used with dual-clutch transmissions.
Bosch has said that the new system will cut fuel consumption and emissions by around 5% and improve efficiency around town by 8%.
Bosch has also made the restart process much faster so drivers will not have to take their car out of 'drive' mode to use the system.

I don't see a need for the wireless NIC in the SBS server machine. Since the
SBS is wired to the router and your clients are wireless and have server
access there is no need for it. Just make sure you secure the wireless

More than 100 reports have come in to Roanoke County law enforcement because of what people are doing in their cars.
People living, working and driving in Roanoke County are failing to properly discard their cigarette butts and other trash.
Back in January, the county kicked off an initiative to get people to stop throwing trash out the window.
Five months later, WDBJ 7 is learning how successful the program has been.
According to a county spokeswoman, the Roanoke County Police Department has received 164 tips regarding littering. Eight of those were received in the last week and have not yet been verified.
Of the remaining 156, 52 have, or will, result in letters being sent to those accused of littering.
So far, three people have been summoned and one person received a warning ticket for littering.
The entire campaign cost the county nearly $8,000 and while it is aimed at all types of littering, it specifically targets cigarette butts.
The initiative allows people to report others online, but officers have to verify the complaint.
Roanoke County Police Chief Howard Hall said he wasn't sure how many people would actually report the activity at the start of the program.
"We're really hoping the educational part of this more than anything would help people to realize it's not appropriate to throw any kind of trash out," said Hall. "And not only is it not appropriate, it's not legal and if the officers do see that happen people can expect to be cited."
The county has seen a steady stream of tips, according to Hall.
If you are caught littering, you can face a fine and community service.

Choose the right word
bold, daring, audacious
These words all refer to someone's bravery or courage and are used to describe either a person or an action.A bold action typically does not involve physical danger and is more likely to be approved of than a daring or audacious one ( people are looking to their leaders to take bold decisions now).A daring action involves adventurousness undeterred by physical danger and does not necessarily describe activities that are approved of ( a daring mission to rescue wounded soldiers | one of the most daring crimes of the century). Other nouns described as daring include adventure, rescue, robbery, raid, and escape. Daring can also refer to a readiness to shock ( she smoked in the street, which was considered very daring in those days) and is also used to mean 'provocative' ( the beaded chiffon dress with its daring low back).An audacious act is one that goes well beyond the normal boundaries in a readiness to take risks ( ever more audacious and vicious assaults by partisans | he hit the post with an audacious drop goal attempt). Audacity can involve deliberately risking shocking or offending people ( his theatrical roles were funny, audacious, subversive).

DES PLAINES, Ill. - Four Japanese OEMs' motorcycles were the most stolen bikes in the United States last year, with Harley-Davidson rounding out the top five in a year that saw motorcycle thefts decline overall by 1 percent.
A total of 46,061 motorcycles were reported stolen in 2012 compared with 46,667 reported stolen in 2011 – a decrease of 606 thefts or 1 percent, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB). The NICB report is based on National Crime Information Center (NCIC) motorcycle theft data for 2012.
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. had the highest reported thefts in 2012 with 9,082. In second place was Yamaha Motor Corp. with 7,517. Third was American Suzuki Motor Corp. (7,017), followed by Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. (4,839) and Harley Davidson, Inc. (3,755).
More motorcycle thefts happened in California than any other state in 2012 with 6,082. Florida with 4,110 thefts, was second. Texas (3,400), North Carolina (2,574) and Indiana (2,334) complete the top five states.
Looking at the cities where motorcycle thefts were reported, New York, N.Y., was at the top of the list with 903 thefts. In second place was Las Vegas, Nev., with 757. San Diego, Calif., was third with 633. The fourth spot was held by Indianapolis, Ind., with 584 and in fifth was Miami, Fla., with 535.
Like riding habits, motorcycle thefts tend to follow the sun. Most thefts occurred during the summer months and the fewest during the winter. July had the highest number of reported thefts in 2012 with 5,529. August was next with 5,290 followed by June with 4,765. The fewest thefts were reported in February with 2,089 followed by January (2,481) and December (2,659).
While the recovery rate for motor vehicle thefts in 2012 was 53.9 percent, for motorcycles in that same year it was only 39 percent. If not quickly recovered, stolen motorcycles are often "chopped" and resold for parts. Others are kept intact and resold to unsuspecting buyers after attempts to alter their identification. Still others are hidden away for years and, on occasion, recovered as they are headed for export in shipping containers.
At the Port of Los Angeles recently, a 1953 Triumph motorcycle stolen more than 46 years ago from Omaha, Neb., was found in a shipping container destined for Japan. Officers with U.S. Customs and Border Protection Service at the port sought help from the NICB in tracking down the NCIC theft record that led to the original theft report taken by Omaha police in February 1967.
From the theft record, the original owner was found still living in Omaha. NICB posted a video of the man being reunited with his now-classic Triumph motorcycle on YouTube here.
Those with information concerning insurance fraud or vehicle theft can report it anonymously by calling toll-free 800-TEL-NICB (800-835-6422), texting keyword "fraud" to TIP411 (847411) or submitting a form on NICB's website.

Who has the X factor? Rotorua experts are divided between Benny Tipene and Jackie Thomas for the win in tonight's final episode.
The country will find out tonight who the winner is of the inaugural TV3 talent show. Last night viewers got to watch Benny, Jackie and Whenua Patuwai at their best and tonight three months' of television and seven months since auditions began, there will be a winner.
"I think Benny will win," said Sam Yeoward, whose group TYP (The Young Project) were eliminated in May.
"He's different to the others, although Whenua could have a chance. They're all really talented and were my picks for the finalists. It's extremely exciting."
Sam, a John Paul College student who was at last night's final in Auckland when he spoke to the Rotorua Daily Post, said his group was still together but was focussing on their studies for the rest of the year before pursuing their musical careers.
Waiariki Academy of Singing and Music director Richard Anaru said he thought it would be between Jackie Thomas and Benny but he was leaning towards Benny.
"They both have outstanding careers in music ahead of them," he said. "I think the show will give them a fantastic platform, it's a wonderful opportunity. Benny is a songwriter and that's a long hard road as we all know. It's a tough competition but Benny has had some amount of training - that's obvious in the way he handles himself."
Rotorua songstress Evelyn Falconer said she thought Jackie Thomas should win.
"She has a fantastic voice and she commits to the performance. Benny is very good but she's got wider appeal."
Mrs Falconer said she had been a keen viewer of the programme but said that those who didn't make it through should not be disheartened.
"The reality is it's just a TV programme."

We analyze a new general representation for the minimum weight Steiner tree problem that translates the topological connectivity constraint into a set of local conditions, which can be analyzed by the so-called cavity equation techniques. For the limit case of the spanning tree, we prove that the fixed point of the algorithm arising from the cavity equations leads to the global optimum.

The interaction between multioverlaps in the high temperature phase of the Sherrington–Kirkpatrick spin glass49(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2966275View Description Hide Description
In this paper we explore the joint behavior of a finite number of multioverlaps in the high temperature phase of the Sherrington–Kirkpatrick model. Extending the work by Talagrand [Spin Glasses: A Challenge for Mathematicians. Cavity and Mean FieldModels, A series of Modern Surveys in Mathematics Vol. 46 (Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 2003)], we show that, when these objects are scaled to have nontrivial limiting distributions, the joint behavior is described by a Gaussian process with an explicit covariance structure.
Fluctuations of the partition function in the generalized random energy model with external field49(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2962982View Description Hide Description
We study Derrida's generalized random energy model (GREM) in the presence of uniform external field. We compute the fluctuations of the ground state and of the partition function in the thermodynamic limit for all admissible values of parameters. We find that the fluctuations are described by a hierarchical structure which is obtained by a certain coarse graining of the initial hierarchical structure of the GREM with external field. We provide an explicit formula for the free energy of the model. We also derive some large deviation results providing an expression for the free energy in a class of models with Gaussian Hamiltonians and external field. Finally, we prove that the coarse-grained parts of the system emerging in the thermodynamic limit tend to have a certain optimal magnetization, as prescribed by the strength of the external field and by parameters of the GREM.
Minimal supporting subtrees for the free energy of polymers on disordered trees49(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2962981View Description Hide Description
We consider a model of directed polymers on a regular tree with a disorder given by independent, identically distributed weights attached to the vertices. For suitable weight distributions this model undergoes a phase transition with respect to its localization behavior. We show that, for high temperatures, the free energy is supported by a random tree of positive exponential growth rate, which is strictly smaller than that of the full tree. The growth rate of the minimal supporting subtree decreases to zero as the temperature decreases to the critical value. At the critical value and all lower temperatures, a single polymer suffices to support the free energy. Our proofs rely on elegant martingale methods adapted from the theory of branching random walks.
A remark on the infinite-volume Gibbs measures of spin glasses49(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2966281View Description Hide Description
In this note, we point out that infinite-volume Gibbs measures of spin glass models on the hypercube can be identified as random probability measures on the unit ball of a Hilbert space. This simple observation follows from a result of Dovbysh and Sudakov on weakly exchangeable random matrices. Limiting Gibbs measures can then be studied as single well-defined objects. This approach naturally extends the space of random overlap structures as defined by Aizenman et al. We discuss the Ruelle probability cascades and the stochastic stability within this framework. As an application, we use an idea of Parisi and Talagrand to prove that if a sequence of finite-volume Gibbs measures satisfies the Ghirlanda–Guerra identities, then the infinite-volume measure must be singular as a measure on a Hilbert space.
Universal structures in some mean field spin glasses and an application49(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2973818View Description Hide Description
We discuss a spin glass reminiscent of the random energymodel (REM), which allows, in particular, to recast the Parisi minimization into a more classical Gibbs variational principle, thereby shedding some light into the physical meaning of the order parameter of the Parisi theory. As an application, we study the impact of an extensive cavity field on Derrida's REM: Despite its simplicity, this model displays some interesting features such as ultrametricity and chaos in temperature.
A rigorous analysis of the cavity equations for the minimum spanning tree49(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2982805View Description Hide Description
We analyze a new general representation for the minimum weight Steiner tree problem that translates the topological connectivity constraint into a set of local conditions, which can be analyzed by the so-called cavity equation techniques. For the limit case of the spanning tree, we prove that the fixed point of the algorithm arising from the cavity equations leads to the global optimum.
Susceptibility in subcritical random graphs49(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2982848View Description Hide Description
We study the evolution of the susceptibility in the subcritical random graph as tends to infinity. We obtain precise asymptotics of its expectation and variance and show that it obeys a law of large numbers. We also prove that the scaled fluctuations of the susceptibility around its deterministic limit converge to a Gaussian law. We further extend our results to higher moments of the component size of a random vertex and prove that they are jointly asymptotically normal.
Loss and recovery of Gibbsianness for models in external fields49(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2989145View Description Hide Description
We consider planar rotors ( spins) in , starting from an initial Gibbs measure and evolving with infinite-temperature stochastic (diffusive) dynamics. At intermediate times, if the system starts at low temperature, Gibbsianness can be lost. Due to the influence of the external initial field, Gibbsianness can be recovered after large finite times. We prove some results supporting this picture.
Universality for distances in power-law random graphs49(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2982927View Description Hide Description
We survey the recent work on phase transition and distances in various random graph models with general degree sequences. We focus on inhomogeneous random graphs, the configuration model, and affine preferential attachment models, and pay special attention to the setting where these random graphs have a power-law degree sequence. This means that the proportion of vertices with degree in large graphs is approximately proportional to for some . Since many real networks have been empirically shown to have power-law degree sequences, these random graphs can be seen as more realistic models for real complex networks than classical random graphs such as the Erdős–Rényi random graph. It is often suggested that the behavior of random graphs should have a large amount of universality, meaning, in this case, that random graphs with similar degree sequences share similar behavior. We survey the available results on graph distances in power-law random graphs that are consistent with this prediction.
Mathematical foundation of quantum annealing49(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2995837View Description Hide Description
Quantum annealing is a generic name of quantum algorithms that use quantum-mechanical fluctuations to search for the solution of an optimization problem. It shares the basic idea with quantum adiabatic evolution studied actively in quantum computation. The present paper reviews the mathematical and theoretical foundations of quantum annealing. In particular, theorems are presented for convergence conditions of quantum annealing to the target optimal state after an infinite-time evolution following the Schrödinger or stochastic (Monte Carlo) dynamics. It is proved that the same asymptotic behavior of the control parameter guarantees convergence for both the Schrödinger dynamics and the stochastic dynamics in spite of the essential difference of these two types of dynamics. Also described are the prescriptions to reduce errors in the final approximate solution obtained after a long but finite dynamical evolution of quantum annealing. It is shown there that we can reduce errors significantly by an ingenious choice of annealing schedule (time dependence of the control parameter) without compromising computational complexity qualitatively. A review is given on the derivation of the convergence condition for classical simulated annealing from the view point of quantum adiabaticity using a classical-quantum mapping.
An example of mathematical authorship attribution49(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2996507View Description Hide Description
In this paper we discuss a novel mathematical approach to authorship attribution which we implemented recently to face a concrete problem of author recognition. The fundamental ideas for our methods came from statistical mechanics and information theory. We combine two approaches. Both of them use similarity measures between couples of texts as indicators of stylistic closeness: the first one is based on the comparison of frequencies of fixed length substrings ( -grams) throughout the texts; the second one relies on a suitable use of compression algorithms as relative entropy approximators, in the spirit of the so-called Ziv–Merhav theorem. The two methods were separately developed and then combined, together with a suitable and theoretically founded ranking analysis, to produce an original authorship attribution procedure that yielded very successful results on the specific problem to which it was applied. This ranking analysis could be of interest also in other application fields.
A mean field model for spin glasses based on a 2-level perceptron49(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2992583View Description Hide Description
We introduce a mean fieldmodel for spin glasses that is obtained by "iterating" the definition of the perceptron model of [SG] and we prove the validity of the replica-symmetric solution under a condition of the type "high temperature." The replica-symmetric equations involve six different parameters. This model illustrates, on one hand, that we now have efficient tools to deal with such systems, and on the other hand, that it is probably unreasonable to hope for abstract theorems independent of the specific type of the system.
Central limit theorem and recurrence for random walks in bistochastic random environments49(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3005226View Description Hide Description
We prove the annealed central limit theorem for random walks in bistochastic random environments on with zero-local drift. The proof is based on a "dynamicist's interpretation" of the system and requires a much weaker condition than the customary uniform ellipticity. Moreover, recurrence is derived for .
Coupling, concentration inequalities, and stochastic dynamics49(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2995833View Description Hide Description
In the context of interacting particle systems, we study the influence of the action of the semigroup on the concentration property of Lipschitz functions. As an application, this gives a new approach to estimate the relaxation speed to equilibrium of interacting particle systems. We illustrate our approach in a variety of examples for which we obtain several new results with short and nontechnical proofs. These examples include the symmetric and asymmetric exclusion processes and high-temperature spin-flip dynamics ("Glauber dynamics"). We also give a new proof of the Poincaré inequality, based on coupling, in the context of one-dimensional Gibbs measures. In particular, we cover the case of polynomially decaying potentials, where the log-Sobolev inequality does not hold.
Continuous spin mean-field models: Limiting kernels and Gibbs properties of local transforms49(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3021285View Description Hide Description
We extend the notion of Gibbsianness for mean-field systems to the setup of general (possibly continuous) local state spaces. We investigate the Gibbs properties of systems arising from an initial mean-field Gibbs measure by application of given local transition kernels. This generalizes previous case studies made for spins taking finitely many values to the first step in the direction to a general theory containing the following parts: (1) A formula for the limiting conditional probability distributions of the transformed system (it holds both in the Gibbs and in the non-Gibbs regime and invokes a minimization problem for a "constrained rate function"), (2) a criterion for Gibbsianness of the transformed system for initial Lipschitz–Hamiltonians involving concentration properties of the transition kernels, and (3) a continuity estimate for the single-site conditional distributions of the transformed system. While (2) and (3) have provable lattice counterparts, the characterization of (1) is stronger in mean field. As applications we show short-time Gibbsianness of rotator mean-fieldmodels on the -dimensional sphere under diffusive time evolution and the preservation of Gibbsianness under local coarse graining of the initial local spin space.
On the survey-propagation equations in random constraint satisfiability problems49(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3030862View Description Hide Description
In this paper we study the existence of a solution of the survey-propagation equations for a given instance of a random problem in the framework of constraint satisfiability. We consider the concrete examples of -satisfiability and coloring. We conjecture that when the number of variables goes to infinity, the solution of the survey-propagation equations for a given instance can be obtained by finding the (supposed unique) solution of the corresponding equations on an infinite tree. We conjecture that the survey-propagation equations on a random infinite tree have a unique solution in the suitable range of parameters. We also present analytic arguments that indicate that the survey-propagation equations do have solutions in the satisfiable phase. For simplicity of notation the argument is presented in the case of the coloring problem. The same results extend to other optimization problems where exist configurations that have cost zero, i.e., in the satisfiable phase. On a random graph the solutions of the belief-propagation equations are associated with the existence of many well separated clusters of configurations (clustering states). We argue that on a random graph the belief-propagation equations have solutions almost everywhere: the statement may be sharpened by introducing the concept of quasisolution of the belief-propagation equations.
About the ergodic regime in the analogical Hopfield neural networks: Moments of the partition function49(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3039083View Description Hide Description
In this paper we introduce and exploit the real replica approach for a minimal generalization of the Hopfield model by assuming the learned patterns to be distributed according to a standard unit Gaussian. We consider the high storage case, when the number of patterns linearly diverges with the number of neurons. We study the infinite volume behavior of the normalized momenta of the partition function. We find a region in the parameter space where the free energy density in the infinite volume limit self-averages around its annealed approximation, as well as the entropy and the internal energy density. Moreover, we evaluate the corrections to their extensive counterparts with respect to their annealed expressions. The fluctuations of properly introduced overlaps, which act as order parameters, are also discussed.
First passage percolation on locally treelike networks. I. Dense random graphs49(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3039876View Description Hide Description
We study various properties of least cost paths under independent and identically distributed (iid) disorder for the complete graph and dense Erdős–Rényi random graphs in the connected phase, with iid exponential and uniform weights on edges. Using a simple heuristic, we compute explicitly limiting distributions for (properly recentered) lengths of shortest paths between typical nodes as well as multiple source destination pairs; we also derive asymptotics for the number of edges on the shortest path, namely, the hopcount, and find that the addition of edge weights converts these graphs from ultrasmall world networks to small world networks. Finally we study the Vickrey–Clarke–Groves measure of overpayment for the complete graph with exponential edge weights and show that the complete graph is far from monopolistic for large .
The peculiar phase structure of random graph bisection49(2008); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3043666View Description Hide Description
The mincut graph bisection problem involves partitioning the vertices of a graph into disjoint subsets, each containing exactly vertices, while minimizing the number of "cut" edges with an endpoint in each subset. When considered over sparse random graphs, the phase structure of the graph bisection problem displays not only certain familiar properties but also some surprises. It is known that when the mean degree is below the critical value of , the cutsize is zero with high probability. We study how the minimum cutsize increases with mean degree above this critical threshold, finding a new analytical upper bound that improves considerably upon previous bounds. Combined with recent results on expander graphs, our bound suggests the unusual scenario that random graph bisection is replica symmetric up to and beyond the critical threshold, with a replica symmetry breaking transition possibly taking place above the threshold. An intriguing algorithmic consequence is that although the problem is NP-hard, we can conceivably find near-optimal cutsizes (whose ratio to the optimal value approaches 1 asymptotically) in polynomial time for typical instances near the phase transition.

Multiple Sclerosis Health Center
MS Drug: No More Rare Disease Cases
March 1, 2006 -- Researchers have found no new cases of a rare disease in patients who took the multiple sclerosis drug Tysabri before the drug's suspension last year.
The FDA approved Tysabri in November 2004 to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). On Feb. 28, 2005 Tysabri was suspended over cases of a rare, disabling neurological disease called PML in patients taking Tysabri.
In February 2006 the FDA allowed Tysabri's clinical trials for MS treatment to resume. However, the drug isn't back on the market.
PML, or progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, affects the central nervous system, usually in people with unhealthy immune systems. PML is caused by a common virus, but most people with the virus don't get PML.
Now, researchers say they've found no new cases of PML in more than 3,000 patients who took Tysabri in the drug's clinical trials. Their report appears in The New England Journal of Medicine.

The researchers did a detailed review of 3,116 patients who took Tysabri in clinical trials. Most patients had gotten nearly 18 monthly doses of the drug. The patients either had MS, Crohn's disease, or rheumatoid arthritis. Before its suspension, Tysabri was being studied as a possible treatment for Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis.
The patients got medical exams, brain scans using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and a test of cerebrospinal fluid to check for the virus that causes PML. Their medical records were also examined.
A total of 44 patients were referred to experts to check for possible PML. All but one of those patients turned out not to have PML. Complete data wasn't available for the one exception, so PML wasn't confirmed in that person, either.
The only confirmed cases of PML in people taking Tysabri are the three cases that had previously been reported, according to the review.
Review's Conclusions
The review had three key findings:
- The group had no new cases of PML.
- About one in 1,000 trial participants who took Tysabri for 18 months got PML.
- PML risk beyond 18 months isn't known.

A Grand Junction man was taken to St. Mary's Hospital after being shot early Saturday morning. At about 2:00 A.M. police were called to 10th Street and Belford Avenue on a report of a suicidal subject. They found a man lying on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound. At this time police know very little about the shooting and say it's unclear if the man shot himself in an attempted suicide or if someone else was present at the time of the shooting in a possible attempted homicide. Police are still searching for the gun used in the shooting. Neighbors confirmed the man does live in the home at 1013 Belford Avenue where he was found outside on the sidewalk.

Thanks everyone for the compliments and advice, the color is lovely isn't it? Okay, I made a swatch (measuring gauge etc). Then decided to to give it a wash.
First of all the yarn is slightly 'hairy' and feels a little sticky, not sure if I should be grossed out or not - anyone have any ideas on what the stickiness is?
Okay, on to the wash test. There was absolutely no sign of felting going on, in fact the swatch could not be more bouncy, and feel less 'natural' when wet, no shrinking (or growing) going on here. On the bright side, machine washing is my favorite way to wash.
I'm still waiting for it to dry completely to figure out if it feels any softer (or less sticky) and will keep you updated if you want.
Ingrid, thanks for the suggestion on the doubling, exactly what I was thinking - although I'm a little loath to cut what could be a "sweater knit in one piece". Maybe for the second (or third) sweater - LOL.
Fem-M - Yes! It was a complete bargain, including shipping (which was expensive since it was so heavy) it was less than $30... ya get what ya pay for eh?
Kelly - House sized swatch!!!

STOCKTON – The charter for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Stockton has been revoked, a source close to the organization said today on condition of anonymity.
The Boys & Girls Club of America pulled the charter Tuesday and today notified officials in Stockton, the source said. The implications for the future of the Stockton club are unclear.
A confidential email Mayor Anthony Silva sent to the clubs' board revealing an apparent move to avoid an audit appears to have influenced the decision. Silva recently resigned as the club's CEO to focus full time on his position at City Hall.
Earlier this year, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Stockton, which serves inner-city children, celebrated its 50th anniversary.

Both Belichick and O'Brien say dealing with Troy Polamalu no easy task
|10.24.11 at 2:40 pm ET
At the start of the season, some believed that the Pittsburgh defense was too old to still be considered among the league's elite units — after a season-opening 35-7 loss to the Ravens, analyst Warren Sapp said the Steelers' defense was 'over. … it's that simple.'
However, the reports of their demise have been greatly exaggerated: Since that loss, Pittsburgh has won five of six, and the defense has rebounded to it familiar spot at or near the top of every major defensive category, including total yards (seventh in the league with 1,953), passing yards (fifth in the league with 1,203) and total points allowed (sixth in the league with 122 through seven games).
'I have no idea where anyone would get that impression,' Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien said if the Pittsburgh defense was too old or past its' prime. 'I really believe this is a tough defense, a smart defense, a really well coached defense.'
On conference calls with the media on Monday afternoon, both O'Brien and Patriots coach Bill Belichick praised the work of veteran safety Troy Polamalu.
'I'll put it to you this way: you've got to know where this guy is on every single play,' O'Brien said of the returning Defensive Player of the Year. 'He's a very instinctive player. He's a guy that can really disrupt the game if you don't have knowledge of where he is on every play. I think he's playing very fast and again, very well with his instincts and his overall experience playing in that system. He's one of many defenders on that defense that is going to be tough to go against. He's at the head of the class.'
'He's one of the top defensive players in the league,' Belichick said. 'He's a dynamic player that can affect any player that you run ' run or pass, inside, outside, short, deep. He's a tremendous football player, great competitor. He's made a ton of plays this year, made them last year; he makes a lot of them. I thought he played well last year, I thought he was really productive last year.'

I will never again cast a curse on myself.

For me, gardening is a form of prayer. Most people have an awareness of life and death, but few have an an awareness of life, death, and life again. Gardeners do though. Bulbs come up every spring. Then in winter, it looks like there's nothing there, no hope for life ever again. Then, Hallelujah! Next spring they're back even fuller. Perennials - same thing.Annuals have a slightly different lesson. Annuals really do die, but they broadcast seeds before they go. Where there was only one calendula the year before, there will be ten this year, and one day, they will fill every empty space in your garden. Annuals are a lesson in the difference one living thing, plant or person, can make, and how their presence resonates long after they're gone. There again, the effects are not immediate. There is always the winter. And when you consider the garden as a whole, well, winter is a time to reflect, a time to dream. It gives you time to ask the big questions...Gardening is an affirmation of divine timing. Some years, in early spring, my enthusiasm takes an ugly turn, and I seemingly believe I can make spring happen earlier than it normally would, if I just work hard enough, if I till enough, compost enough, harden off seedlings earlier than I normally would. In the end, I wind up with twelve flats of dead seedlings. Then I direct seed a couple months later, and with much less effort, everything grows into the full glory it was destined to encompass. To everything there is a season. Amen.

Now here is a key: you want to make it real and present in the realm of your consciousness. You don't say "I'm going to do such and such" - it already has happened. Now, is consciousness real? It exists and it is very powerful. The idea is to have this mesh between your consciousness - your visualization - and the so-called material world.

Alfreton Town 0 Farsley Celtic 2. A first win in seven games brought a double-edged reward for Farsley as they landed £5,000 prize money and a plum home tie against Blue Square Premier rivals York City in the last 16 of the FA Trophy.
It is the first time in their history Celtic have reached the third round of the competition and they will host the Minstermen at Thostle Nest on Sunday.

The game has been put back from Saturday at the request of West Yorkshire Police as both Leeds United and Leeds Rhinos are at home on that day.
At Alfreton last night, Celtic manager John Deacey was forced into changes and went wholesale with just
five players in the line up who started the drawn first game on January 12.
Recalled keeper Tom Morgan put in a man-of-the-match display with a string of fine saves while captain Amjad Iqbal, who missed the first
game through suspension, provided the crucial first goal and a calming influence in a back line which was given a severe test at times.
There was also a recall for Tristram Whitman against his former club, but Deacey was without Georges Santos who had played up front for Alfreton in the 1-1 drawin Yorkshire.
Reds boss Nicky Law had a pair of more recognised strikers back for the game in joint-top scorers Brian Cusworth and Danny Reet but the pair,
like their team-mates, couldn't take advantage of several chances.
Cusworth proved a real handful for Celtic in the opening exchanges with his aerial threat as Alfreton mounted attacks which brought them a 10-2 corner
count in the first half alone.
But Farsley's first flag-kick proved fruitful on six minutes when the visitors snatched the lead. JamesKnowles' corner wasn't cleared and Iqbal created
half a yard of space in a packed area to rifle home a lowshot.
Morgan's first piece of brilliance came less than two minutes later as Alfreton hit back strongly.
From Josh Law's corner, the Farsley keeper took off to one-handedly tip over a powerful downward header fromTony Butler.
The visitors emerged from a spell of heavy pressure and Simeon Bambrook could have twice doubled Celtic's lead in the space of sevenminutes, side-footing straight at Kyle Sutcliffe and then lashing another chance yards over.
In the second half, Morgan's continued heroics preserved Celtic's lead on 62 and 73 minutes with saves from Reet, the second one a superb dive low to his right.
Celtic's impressive defensive discipline stood them in good stead as the hosts ran out of ideas.
Victory was sealed on 81 minutes when substitute Colin Heath punished hesitancy on the edge of the home penalty area to advance and roll the ball across the area to give Damien Reeves a simple task.
