In an episode of FYI's Tiny House Nation recently unearthed by Country Living, experts turn little cabins in the woods into haunted houses — and the results are equal parts spooky and stunning. Before we get to them, though, let's just appreciate the fact that there's an entire show dedicated to small houses. According ...

"BIGGLESWADE, a parish and market town in the hundred of Biggleswade, in the county of Bedford, 10 miles to the S.E, of Bedford, and 45 miles to the north of London, or 41 miles by the Great Northern railway, on which it is a station. It is seated in a pleasant country on the east bank of the navigable river Ivel, about 8 miles above its confluence with the Ouse. The river is crossed by a stone bridge. Holme and Stratton are hamlets of this parish. Most of the houses in the town, which is now well drained and lighted with gas, are of modern erection, and well built, a large part of the old houses having been burnt down in 1785. The surrounding district is fertile, and the inhabitants are chiefly engaged in agricultural pursuits, and in market gardening. The general trade and prosperity of the place is greatly promoted by its position on the great line of communication with the North by road and rail, and on the river Ivel, which communicates through the Ouse with the sea. Many of the female inhabitants are employed in lace-making and the manufacture of straw-plait. Biggleswade is the seat of a Poor-law Union and a County Court district, and petty sessions are held here by the county magistrates. Polling for the county elections takes place here. The town contains a handsome townhall, built in 1844, the Union poorhouse, and a savings-bank. The living is a vicarage* in the diocese of Ely, of the value of £348, in the gift of the bishop. The church, formerly collegiate, is an ancient edifice in the early English style of architecture, founded about 1230, and partly rebuilt in 1467. It is dedicated to St. Andrew, and had a chantry attached to it. It contains some brasses of 1449, and a monument to John Ruding, Archdeacon of Bedford in the 15th century, by whom the chancel was rebuilt. His arms were carved on some of the ancient seats, which were removed in 1832, when the church was thoroughly repaired, and two new galleries added. There are chapels belonging to the Calvinists, Wesleyan Methodists, and Baptists. The charitable endowments amount to £205 per annum, the chief, part of which is the produce of a bequest by Sir John Cotton in 1726, for a school and other benevolent purposes. There is a small free school at Holme, founded in 1557 by Edward Peake, which has an endowment of £13. National, British, and infant schools are also established, and a mechanics' institution. The manor of Biggleswade was formerly held by the crown. An interesting discovery was made in a field at Stratton, in 1770, of an earthern jar containing 300 gold coins of Henry VI. They were of rather larger size than the half-crown, but much thinner. The market, chiefly for corn, is held on Wednesday, and fairs on the 74th February, the Saturday after Easter, Whit Monday, the 2nd August, and the 8th November, for the sale of nurses, cattle, &c. The parish has an area of 4,310 acres."

18 of the Browns' 22 starters didn't set foot on the field in last night's 24-14 loss to Chicago in the final game of the preseason, and well, it showed.
Last night's game in Chicago proved to be largely a last-ditch audition for players on the cusp of making or not making the Browns' roster. A few players impressed, a few more did not and most didn't prove much about themselves one way or the other.
While the score was relatively close, the Bears appeared to be decisively in command of the game for the most part, proving that their backups could outplay the Browns' backups. We saw some disappointing performances out of some Browns players, but there were others who did well in the final preaseason game of 2011.
Following are this week's winners and losers for the Browns. Be sure to add your own Browns winners and losers for preseason Week 4 in the comments below!

Descriptional and computational complexity of finite automata - A surveyMarkus Holzer | Martin Kutrib
Volume 209, Issue 3, March 2011, Pages 456-470
Finite automata are probably best known for being equivalent to right-linear context-free grammars and, thus, for capturing the lowest level of the Chomsky-hierarchy, the family of regular languages. Over the last half century, a vast literature documenting the importance of deterministic, nondeterministic, and alternating finite automata as an enormously valuable concept has been developed. In the present paper, we tour a fragment of this literature. Mostly, we discuss developments relevant to finite automata related problems like, for example, (i) simulation of and by several types of finite automata, (ii) standard automata problems such as fixed and general membership, emptiness, universality, equivalence, and related problems, and (iii) minimization and approximation. We thus come across descriptional and computational complexity issues of finite automata. We do not prove these results but we merely draw attention to the big picture and some of the main ideas involved. © 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
The shield that never was: Societies with single-peaked preferences are more open to manipulation and controlPiotr Faliszewski | Edith Hemaspaandra | Lane A. Hemaspaandra | Jörg Rothe
Volume 209, Issue 2, February 2011, Pages 89-107
Much work has been devoted, during the past 20 years, to using complexity to protect elections from manipulation and control. Many "complexity shield" results have been obtained - results showing that the attacker's task can be made NP-hard. Recently there has been much focus on whether such worst-case hardness protections can be bypassed by frequently correct heuristics or by approximations. This paper takes a very different approach: We argue that when electorates follow the canonical political science model of societal preferences the complexity shield never existed in the first place. In particular, we show that for electorates having single-peaked preferences, many existing NP-hardness results on manipulation and control evaporate. © 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Unbounded-error quantum computation with small space boundsAbuzer Yakaryilmaz | A. C Cem Say
Volume 209, Issue 6, June 2011, Pages 873-892
We prove the following facts about the language recognition power of quantum Turing machines (QTMs) in the unbounded error setting: QTMs are strictly more powerful than probabilistic Turing machines for any common space bound s satisfying s(n)=o(loglogn). For "one-way" Turing machines, where the input tape head is not allowed to move left, the above result holds for s(n)=o(logn). We also give a characterization for the class of languages recognized with unbounded error by real-time quantum finite automata (QFAs) with restricted measurements. It turns out that these automata are equal in power to their probabilistic counterparts, and this fact does not change when the QFA model is augmented to allow general measurements and mixed states. Unlike the case with classical finite automata, when the QFA tape head is allowed to remain stationary in some steps, more languages become recognizable. We define and use a QTM model that generalizes the other variants introduced earlier in the study of quantum space complexity. © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
A 1.488 approximation algorithm for the uncapacitated facility location problemShi Li
Volume 222, Issue , January 2013, Pages 45-58
We present a 1.488-approximation algorithm for the metric uncapacitated facility location (UFL) problem. Previously, the best algorithm was due to Byrka (2007). Byrka proposed an algorithm parametrized by γ and used it with γ≈1.6774. By either running his algorithm or the algorithm proposed by Jain, Mahdian and Saberi (STOCE02), Byrka obtained an algorithm that gives expected approximation ratio 1.5. We show that if γ is randomly selected, the approximation ratio can be improved to 1.488. Our algorithm cuts the gap with the 1.463 approximability lower bound by almost 1/3. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.

A scalable module systemFlorian Rabe | Michael Kohlhase
Volume 230, Issue , July 2013, Pages 1-54
Symbolic and logic computation systems ranging from computer algebra systems to theorem provers are finding their way into science, technology, mathematics and engineering. But such systems rely on explicitly or implicitly represented mathematical knowledge that needs to be managed to use such systems effectively. While mathematical knowledge management (MKM) "in the small" is well-studied, scaling up to large, highly interconnected corpora remains difficult. We hold that in order to realize MKM "in the large", we need representation languages and software architectures that are designed systematically with large-scale processing in mind. Therefore, we have designed and implemented the Mmt language - a module system for mathematical theories. Mmt is designed as the simplest possible language that combines a module system, a foundationally uncommitted formal semantics, and web-scalable implementations. Due to a careful choice of representational primitives, Mmt allows us to integrate existing representation languages for formal mathematical knowledge in a simple, scalable formalism. In particular, Mmt abstracts from the underlying mathematical and logical foundations so that it can serve as a standardized representation format for a formal digital library. Moreover, Mmt systematically separates logic-dependent and logic-independent concerns so that it can serve as an interface layer between computation systems and MKM systems. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
On the complexity of some colorful problems parameterized by treewidthMichael R. Fellows | Fedor V. Fomin | Daniel Lokshtanov | Frances Rosamond | Saket Saurabh | Stefan Szeider | Carsten Thomassen
Volume 209, Issue 2, February 2011, Pages 143-153
In this paper, we study the complexity of several coloring problems on graphs, parameterized by the treewidth of the graph.The List Coloring problem takes as input a graph G, together with an assignment to each vertex v of a set of colors Cv. The problem is to determine whether it is possible to choose a color for vertex v from the set of permitted colors Cv, for each vertex, so that the obtained coloring of G is proper. We show that this problem is W[1]-hard, parameterized by the treewidth of G. The closely related Precoloring Extension problem is also shown to be W[1]-hard, parameterized by treewidth.An equitable coloring of a graph G is a proper coloring of the vertices where the numbers of vertices having any two distinct colors differs by at most one. We show that the problem is hard for W[1], parameterized by the treewidth plus the number of colors. We also show that a list-based variation, List Equitable Coloring is W[1]-hard for forests, parameterized by the number of colors on the lists.The list chromatic number χl(G) of a graph G is defined to be the smallest positive integer r, such that for every assignment to the vertices v of G, of a list Lv of colors, where each list has length at least r, there is a choice of one color from each vertex list Lv yielding a proper coloring of G. We show that the problem of determining whether χl(G)≤r, the List Chromatic Number problem, is solvable in linear time on graphs of constant treewidth. © 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Fundamentals of session typesVasco T. Vasconcelos
Volume 217, Issue , August 2012, Pages 52-70
We present a reconstruction of session types in a linear pi calculus where types are qualified as linear or unrestricted. Linearly qualified communication channels are guaranteed to occur in exactly one thread, possibly multiple times; unrestricted (or shared) channels may appear in an unbounded number of threads. In our language each channel is characterized by two distinct variables, one used for reading, the other for writing; scope restriction binds together two variables, thus establishing the correspondence between the two ends of the same channel. This mechanism allows a precise control of resources via a conventional linear type system. Furthermore, the uniform treatment of linear and shared channels leads to a surprisingly simply theory which, in addition, extends typability when compared to traditional systems for session types. We build the language gradually, starting from simple input/output, then adding recursive types, replication and finally choice. We also present an algorithmic type checking system. © 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Probabilistic logical characterizationHolger Hermanns | Augusto Parma | Roberto Segala | Björn Wachter | Lijun Zhang
Volume 209, Issue 2, February 2011, Pages 154-172
Probabilistic automata exhibit both probabilistic and non-deterministic choice. They are therefore a powerful semantic foundation for modeling concurrent systems with random phenomena arising in many applications ranging from artificial intelligence, security, systems biology to performance modeling. Several variations of bisimulation and simulation relations have proved to be useful as means to abstract and compare different automata. This paper develops a taxonomy of logical characterizations of these relations on image-finite and image-infinite probabilistic automata. © 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Treewidth computations II. Lower boundsHans L. Bodlaender | Arie M C A Koster
Volume 209, Issue 7, July 2011, Pages 1103-1119
For several applications, it is important to be able to compute the treewidth of a given graph and to find tree decompositions of small width reasonably fast. Good lower bounds on the treewidth of a graph can, amongst others, help to speed up branch and bound algorithms that compute the treewidth of a graph exactly. A high lower bound for a specific graph instance can tell that a dynamic programming approach for solving a problem is infeasible for this instance. This paper gives an overview of several recent methods that give lower bounds on the treewidth of graphs. © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Non-uniform cellular automata: Classes, dynamics, and decidabilityAlberto Dennunzio | Enrico Formenti | Julien Provillard
Volume 215, Issue , June 2012, Pages 32-46
The dynamical behavior of non-uniform cellular automata is compared with the one of classical cellular automata. Several differences and similarities are pointed out by a series of examples. Decidability of basic properties like surjectivity and injectivity is also established. The final part studies a strong form of equicontinuity property specially suited for non-uniform cellular automata. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
A classification of the expressive power of well-structured transition systemsParosh Aziz Abdulla | Giorgio Delzanno | Laurent Van Begin
Volume 209, Issue 3, March 2011, Pages 248-279
We compare the expressive power of a class of well-structured transition systems that includes relational automata (extensions of), Petri nets, lossy channel systems, constrained multiset rewriting systems, and data nets. For each one of these models we study the class of languages generated by labeled transition systems describing their semantics. We consider here two types of accepting conditions: coverability and reachability of a fixed a priori configuration. In both cases we obtain a strict hierarchy in which constrained multiset rewriting systems is the most expressive model. © 2010 Published by Elsevier Inc.
A coalgebraic perspective on linear weighted automataFilippo Bonchi | Marcello Bonsangue | Michele Boreale | Jan Rutten | Alexandra Silva
Volume 211, Issue , February 2012, Pages 77-105
Weighted automata are a generalisation of non-deterministic automata where each transition, in addition to an input letter, has also a quantity expressing the weight (e.g. cost or probability) of its execution. As for non-deterministic automata, their behaviours can be expressed in terms of either (weighted) bisimilarity or (weighted) language equivalence. Coalgebras provide a categorical framework for the uniform study of state-based systems and their behaviours. In this work, we show that coalgebras can suitably model weighted automata in two different ways: coalgebras on Set (the category of sets and functions) characterise weighted bisimilarity, while coalgebras on Vect (the category of vector spaces and linear maps) characterise weighted language equivalence. Relying on the second characterisation, we show three different procedures for computing weighted language equivalence. The first one consists in a generalisation of the usual partition refinement algorithm for ordinary automata. The second one is the backward version of the first one. The third procedure relies on a syntactic representation of rational weighted languages. © 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Weighted automata and weighted MSO logics for average and long-time behaviorsManfred Droste | Ingmar Meinecke
Volume 220-221, Issue , November 2012, Pages 44-59
Weighted automata model quantitative aspects of systems like memory or power consumption. Recently, Chatterjee, Doyen, and Henzinger introduced a new kind of weighted automata which compute objectives like the average cost or the long-time peak power consumption. In these automata, operations like average, limit superior, limit inferior, limit average, or discounting are used to assign values to finite or infinite words. In general, these weighted automata are not semiring weighted anymore. Here, we establish a connection between such new kinds of weighted automata and weighted logics. We show that suitable weighted MSO logics and these new weighted automata are expressively equivalent, both for finite and infinite words. The constructions employed are effective, leading to decidability results for the weighted logic formulas considered. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
On the semantics of Markov automataYuxin Deng | Matthew Hennessy
Volume 222, Issue , January 2013, Pages 139-168
Markov automata describe systems in terms of events which may be nondeterministic, may occur probabilistically, or may be subject to time delays. We define a novel notion of weak bisimulation for such systems and prove that this provides both a sound and complete proof methodology for a natural extensional behavioural equivalence between such systems, a generalisation of reduction barbed congruence, the well-known touchstone equivalence for a large variety of process description languages. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.

On the almighty wandRémi Brochenin | Stéphane Demri | Etienne Lozes
Volume 211, Issue , February 2012, Pages 106-137
We investigate decidability, complexity and expressive power issues for (first-order) separation logic with one record field (herein called SL) and its fragments. SL can specify properties about the memory heap of programs with singly-linked lists. Separation logic with two record fields is known to be undecidable by reduction of finite satisfiability for classical predicate logic with one binary relation. Surprisingly, we show that second-order logic is as expressive as SL and as a by-product we get undecidability of SL. This is refined by showing that SL without the separating conjunction is as expressive as SL, whence undecidable too. As a consequence, in SL the separating implication (also known as the magic wand) can simulate the separating conjunction. By contrast, we establish that SL without the magic wand is decidable, and we prove a non-elementary complexity by reduction from satisfiability for the first-order theory over finite words. This result is extended with a bounded use of the magic wand that appears in Hoare-style rules. As a generalization, it is shown that kSL, the separation logic over heaps with k≥1 record fields, is equivalent to kSO, the second-order logic over heaps with k record fields. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.

A new look at the automatic synthesis of linear ranking functionsRoberto Bagnara | Fred Mesnard | Andrea Pescetti | Enea Zaffanella
Volume 215, Issue , June 2012, Pages 47-67
The classical technique for proving termination of a generic sequential computer program involves the synthesis of a ranking function for each loop of the program. Linear ranking functions are particularly interesting because many terminating loops admit one and algorithms exist to automatically synthesize it. In this paper we present two such algorithms: one based on work dated 1991 by Sohn and Van Gelder; the other, due to Podelski and Rybalchenko, dated 2004. Remarkably, while the two algorithms will synthesize a linear ranking function under exactly the same set of conditions, the former is mostly unknown to the community of termination analysis and its general applicability has never been put forward before the present paper. In this paper we thoroughly justify both algorithms, we prove their correctness, we compare their worst-case complexity and experimentally evaluate their efficiency, and we present an open-source implementation of them that will make it very easy to include termination-analysis capabilities in automatic program verifiers. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
Nominal abstractionAndrew Gacek | Dale Miller | Gopalan Nadathur
Volume 209, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 48-73
Recursive relational specifications are commonly used to describe the computational structure of formal systems. Recent research in proof theory has identified two features that facilitate direct, logic-based reasoning about such descriptions: the interpretation of atomic judgments through recursive definitions and an encoding of binding constructs via generic judgments. However, logics encompassing these two features do not currently allow for the definition of relations that embody dynamic aspects related to binding, a capability needed in many reasoning tasks. We propose a new relation between terms called nominal abstraction as a means for overcoming this deficiency. We incorporate nominal abstraction into a rich logic also including definitions, generic quantification, induction, and co-induction that we then prove to be consistent. We present examples to show that this logic can provide elegant treatments of binding contexts that appear in many proofs, such as those establishing properties of typing calculi and of arbitrarily cascading substitutions that play a role in reducibility arguments. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.

On the expressiveness and decidability of higher-order process calculiIvan Lanese | Jorge A. Pérez | Davide Sangiorgi | Alan Schmitt
Volume 209, Issue 2, February 2011, Pages 198-226
In higher-order process calculi, the values exchanged in communications may contain processes. A core calculus of higher-order concurrency is studied; it has only the operators necessary to express higher-order communications: input prefix, process output, and parallel composition. By exhibiting a deterministic encoding of Minsky machines, the calculus is shown to be Turing complete. Therefore its termination problem is undecidable. Strong bisimilarity, however, is shown to be decidable. Furthermore, the main forms of strong bisimilarity for higher-order processes (higher-order bisimilarity, context bisimilarity, normal bisimilarity, barbed congruence) coincide. They also coincide with their asynchronous versions. A sound and complete axiomatization of bisimilarity is given. Finally, bisimilarity is shown to become undecidable if at least four static (i.e., top-level) restrictions are added to the calculus. © 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Rigid tree automata and applicationsFlorent Jacquemard | Francis Klay | Camille Vacher

We introduce the class of rigid tree automata (RTA), an extension of standard bottom-up automata on ranked trees with distinguished states called rigid. Rigid states define a restriction on the computation of RTA on trees: RTA can test for equality in subtrees reaching the same rigid state. RTA are able to perform local and global tests of equality between subtrees, non-linear tree pattern matching, and some inequality and disequality tests as well. Properties like determinism, pumping lemma, Boolean closure, and several decision problems are studied in detail. In particular, the emptiness problem is shown decidable in linear time for RTA whereas membership of a given tree to the language of a given RTA is NP-complete. Our main result is the decidability of whether a given tree belongs to the rewrite closure of an RTA language under a restricted family of term rewriting systems, whereas this closure is not an RTA language. This result, one of the first on rewrite closure of languages of tree automata with constraints, is enabling the extension of model checking procedures based on finite tree automata techniques, in particular for the verification of communicating processes with several local non-rewritable memories, like security protocols. Finally, a comparison of RTA with several classes of tree automata with local and global equality tests, with dag automata and Horn clause formalisms is also provided. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.

An ID-based multi-signer universal designated multi-verifier signature schemeTing Yi Chang
Volume 209, Issue 7, July 2011, Pages 1007-1015
In an ID-based universal designated verifier signature scheme, a single signer generates a signature that can only be verified by a designated verifier using a simplified public identity such as an e-mail address. In this paper, we expand the scheme to a multi-user setting for generating and verifying signatures in practical applications. An ID-based multi-signer universal designated multi-verifier signature scheme based on bilinear pairings is proposed that allows a set of multi-signer to cooperatively generate a signature and designate a set of multi-verifier to verify it. The security of the proposed scheme is demonstrated to be resistant to existentially forgery from adaptive chosen-message and chosen-ID attacks under the Bilinear Diffie-Hellman problem. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.

Reactive automataMaxime Crochemore | Dov M. Gabbay
Volume 209, Issue 4, April 2011, Pages 692-704
A reactive automaton has extra links whose role is to change the behaviour of the automaton. We show that these links do not increase the expressiveness of finite automata but that they can be used to reduce dramatically their state number both in the deterministic case and the non-deterministic case. Typical examples of regular expressions associated with deterministic automata of exponential size according to the length of the expression show that reactive links provide an alternative representation of total linear size for the language. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.

Two-way unary automata versus logarithmic spaceViliam Geffert | Giovanni Pighizzini
Volume 209, Issue 7, July 2011, Pages 1016-1025
We show that if L=NL (the classical logarithmic space classes), then each unary 2nfa (a two-way nondeterministic finite automaton) can be converted into an equivalent 2dfa (a deterministic two-way automaton), keeping the number of states polynomial. (Unlike other results of this kind, here the deterministic simulation is valid for inputs of all lengths, not only polynomially long ones.) This shows a connection between the standard logarithmic space complexity and the state complexity of two-way unary automata: it indicates that L could be separated from NL by proving a superpolynomial gap, in the number of states, for the conversion from unary 2nfas to 2dfa. Moreover, without any unproven assumptions, we show that each n-state unary 2nfa can be simulated by an equivalent 2ufa (an unambiguous 2nfa) with a polynomial number of states. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.

Pushdown module checking with imperfect informationBenjamin Aminof | Axel Legay | Aniello Murano | Olivier Serre | Moshe Y. Vardi
Volume 223, Issue , January 2013, Pages 1-17
The model checking problem for finite-state open systems (module checking) has been extensively studied in the literature, both in the context of environments with perfect and imperfect information about the system. Recently, the perfect information case has been extended to infinite-state systems (pushdown module checking). In this paper, we extend pushdown module checking to the imperfect information setting; i.e., to the case where the environment has only a partial view of the systems control states and pushdown store content. We study the complexity of this problem with respect to the branchingtime temporal logics CTL, CTL. and the propositional μ-calculus. We show that pushdown module checking, which is by itself harder than pushdown model checking, becomes undecidable when the environment has imperfect information. We also show that undecidability relies on hiding information about the pushdown store. Indeed, we prove that with imperfect information about the control states, but a visible pushdown store, the problem is decidable and its complexity is 2Exptime-complete for CTL and the propositional μ-calculus, and 3Exptime-complete for CTL. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Quantitative Kleene coalgebrasAlexandra Silva | Filippo Bonchi | Marcello Bonsangue | Jan Rutten
Volume 209, Issue 5, May 2011, Pages 822-849
We present a systematic way to generate (1) languages of (generalised) regular expressions, and (2) sound and complete axiomatizations thereof, for a wide variety of quantitative systems. Our quantitative systems include weighted versions of automata and transition systems, in which transitions are assigned a value in a monoid that represents cost, duration, probability, etc. Such systems are represented as coalgebras and (1) and (2) above are derived in a modular fashion from the underlying (functor) type of these coalgebras. In previous work, we applied a similar approach to a class of systems (without weights) that generalizes both the results of Kleene (on rational languages and DFA's) and Milner (on regular behaviours and finite LTS's), and includes many other systems such as Mealy and Moore machines. In the present paper, we extend this framework to deal with quantitative systems. As a consequence, our results now include languages and axiomatizations, both existing and new ones, for many different kinds of probabilistic systems. © 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
A uniform framework for modeling nondeterministic, probabilistic, stochastic, or mixed processes and their behavioral equivalencesMarco Bernardo | Rocco De Nicola | Michele Loreti
Volume 225, Issue , March 2013, Pages 29-82
Labeled transition systems are typically used as behavioral models of concurrent processes. Their labeled transitions define a one-step state-to-state reachability relation. This model can be generalized by modifying the transition relation to associate a state reachability distribution with any pair consisting of a source state and a transition label. The state reachability distribution is a function mapping each possible target state to a value that expresses the degree of one-step reachability of that state. Values are taken from a preordered set equipped with a minimum that denotes unreachability. By selecting suitable preordered sets, the resulting model, called ULTraS from Uniform Labeled Transition System, can be specialized to capture well-known models of fully nondeterministic processes (LTS), fully probabilistic processes (ADTMC), fully stochastic processes (ACTMC), and nondeterministic and probabilistic (MDP) or nondeterministic and stochastic (CTMDP) processes. This uniform treatment of different behavioral models extends to behavioral equivalences. They can be defined on ULTraS by relying on appropriate measure functions that express the degree of reachability of a set of states when performing multi-step computations. It is shown that the specializations of bisimulation, trace, and testing equivalences for the different classes of ULTraS coincide with the behavioral equivalences defined in the literature over traditional models except when nondeterminism and probability/stochasticity coexist; then new equivalences pop up. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.

Hero Jim Freeman sees the need and fills it in
Over 20 years ago when Jim Freeman relocated from his Hollywood bungalow to a Whidbey Island 1928 caboose, he had no idea what he would be doing.
I learned long ago that if I make the big decisions, God will take care of the details, Freeman quipped.
Jim Freeman, Conductor of Fun, considers both God and humor the primary principles from which to direct his life.
My buddy Holly called from Georgia the other night. He mentioned that to him, humor lifts the spirit. Isnt that the truth? Maybe Ill tattoo Be of good cheer on my forehead, but Id need to tattoo it backwards to read it in a mirror.
Grandpa used to tell high school graduates to see the need and fill it. Seems like people always need humor, but they also need encouragement, love and appreciation.
With this is mind, something only a few know is that Freeman went back to school recently and is now a licensed working counselor. He calls his counseling practice Peace Train Retreat. His mission he says is to encourage people to see themselves as they are as God sees them. Freeman is passionate about his practice.
I think of myself as a spiritual cheerleader. For me counseling is a matter of deep listening and asking appropriate questions. The way we dialogue, clients eventually answer their questions themselves.
While growing up, Freeman wanted to be a minister like his grandpa, who once reminded him that becoming a preacher was not his decision to make: Jimmy youve got to wait to be called from God.
He said, While waiting for that call,
I began pre-med in the 60s, however the precision of organic chemistry put a stop to that dream, so I switched to the ambiguity of political science. I graduated and then got a Marine Corps education.
He then completed a law degree and landed an opportunity in the 70s to work with Willie Nelson.
Seeing Willie impact so many people in many positive ways made me realize that my career focus needed to shift.
So he began broadcasting on the radio and says, I havent stopped talking since.
Ruth Turner, community volunteer, says Freeman has a fantastic sense of humor.
His outlook on life is to help people be happy and get along with others in a peaceful way. A person can easily talk to him and come away with a different and better way to look at life. He helped me through a time in my life when I was very low.
Freemans Loose Caboose Studio, snuggled in the woods of Freeland, is overflowing with sentiments and memorabilia from friends and family, signed pictures, cards and handmade gifts.
He picks up a Fathers Day card on top his computer, handmade by stepdaughter Crystal.
Shes one of my teachers, he says. She openly displays her love to all. What an angel of light. Of course, Crystal gets her angelic nature from her mother, my Pal for the best part of my life. We live on this rock called Whidbey, but Pal is my rock.
Freeman is a teacher to others as well.
John Thompson, a sixth grade South Whidbey student says, Jim has taught me that no matter what happens there is always a solution. And to look on the bright side, and not take myself too serious. I remember a time when I was performing at the Island County Fair and I broke a guitar string and really blew it.
Jim jumped in to rescue me, and made me feel like a superstar, and asked me back the next year. Thats the kind of guy he is.
Freeman offers to make and serve lunch; he cooks on top of his woodstove. The caboose starts heating up inside, so he picks up various sizes of books to prop under a window, to allow just the exact amount of ventilation in.
Jean Shaw, Bayview teacher and volunteer says, Jims wacky sense of humor and commitment to raise money, raise self-esteem, and have fun, helps us be more of a community. He knows how to turn lemons into lemonade. In one talent show a girl was supposed to play the piano, but she got so scared she would not come out on stage. At intermission, Jim convinced her to play behind the curtain as he held the microphone. Upon completion, she spontaneously reached her hand out between the curtains to receive her blue ribbon. The audience loved it.
Another time Shaw tells of a very windy November talent show night when the power went out during a dance number involving lots of kids and risers.
After the lights went out, Jim had the performers sit down on stage; he got a few flash lights and led the packed audience in singing Christmas carols in the dark. Everyone had such a great time that they all booed when the lights went back on.
Freeman knows that his family has been a significant influence in his life.
He says, Let me give you a tour of my family as he draws a quick family tree on a piece of lined paper. Grandpa was a railroad engineer when he got the call to become a minister. Grandpa always said that giving to others is one of lifes greatest achievements. He was pleased that the couples he had married over the years never divorced. Maybe thats because when he heard that they were having problems, he visited them and reminded them that their marriage was not just a commitment between the two of them, but also a commitment to God.
Freeman says his father taught him the importance of tithing.
Dad put his 10 percent in the plate every Sunday. When I expressed concern about my having to come up with 10 percent, he just smiled and said with his Missouri wit Thats OK, Jimmy, 10 percent of nothing is still nothing.
His mom, who died when Freeman was a college senior, touched his heart the deepest.
Compassion and understanding. That was Mom. She was a great listener and the best friend of many. I dont think she ever did anything she would need to apologize for.
He says he has, however, and its never too late. And tells about a time he told someone he was sorry at a high school reunion.
I apologized to a classmate for making fun of her in the sixth grade and told her I acted inappropriately and wished I
had the insight to apologize back then. She said my apology was welcomed. I had to take responsibility for the negativity that I had caused. Words and thoughts are like seeds.
If we plant a pumpkin seed, its not going to become a blackberry bush. The soil doesnt care what kind of seeds we plant. If the seeds are nourished they will grow. Seeds of discontent grow just as heartily as seeds of comfort. We need to watch what type of seeds we are planting.
Diane Moondancer, principal of Bayview School, perhaps sees a bit of the counselor in the comic as she writes in a letter, Jim is loaded with humility. There are no pretensions. He has the ability to see the humor in the absurdities of the world. There is sacredness about Jim. He touches what is holy in all of us and leads us to greet the sacredness of our lives and the lives of others.

The oilfield services company Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) has received quite a bit of investor attention recently given its supposed macro risk. I find that Halliburton, despite its beta of 1.56, is far less risky than what the market views. This means high-risk adjusted returns for shareholders if a double dip does not occur and my perspective proves true. The stock is already up by more than 21% and I expect it to continue to be one of the best investments for a buy-and-hold strategy. Here is why:
While it is true that NAM is experiencing margin compression, this issue has been much too exaggerated, as its effect on market share is not as deleterious as some have made out. Management has put out a conservative outlook, setting the bar low with high single-digit growth in material costs. And yet the firm has the largest margins in its industry at 33.4%. Comparable numbers for competitors: Weatherford (NYSE:WFT), 25.9%; Baker Hughes (NYSE:BHI), 22.2%; Schlumberger (NYSE:SLB), 20.3%. The company is also doing well in keeping SG&A lean, for example, by reducing average crew size by 10% recently.
Thus, the company's true catalyst is in growing scale (not containing costs) as a means to take away market share from competitors. And, in my view, the company is the best positioned to gain internationally. In the emerging regions of Middle East and Asia, Halliburton has seen 4.9% 3Q11 sequential growth and 13.8% y-o-y growth. Respective figures for competitors are 2% and 18% for Baker Hughes, 3% and 5.4% for Weatherford, and -5% and 8.3% for Schlumberger. This increasing relative exposure to emerging markets will help hedge against Halliburton's domestic risk while presenting a long-term value driver for the oil and gas services company.
At the third quarter earnings call, CEO David Lesar noted:
I'm very pleased with the overall performance of our business in the third quarter. Total revenues of $6.5 billion and operating income of $1.3 billion are both company records, representing sequential growth of 10% and 15%, respectively. We achieved record revenue levels in our North America, Latin America and Middle East/Asia regions. In North America, revenue and operating income grew sequentially by 13% and 14%, respectively, compared to a U.S. rig count growth of only 6%, and we exceeded $1 billion in operating income for the first time ever. Our international revenue and operating income grew 7% and 23%, respectively, compared to a rig count growth of 2%, driven by a 17% revenue growth in Latin America and more modest growth in the Eastern Hemisphere.
My hope is that, as the company expands, its moves more away from Europe, which offers the lowest margins of any geographical region at 9.5%. At the same time, issues in conflict regions are improving, particularly in the North Sea, Algeria, and Africa.
The fundamentals of Halliburton are also strong and capable of weathering the storm better than some competitors. Strong activity at Eagle Ford, Permian Basin, and Bakken, in particular, will drive free cash flow for expansion elsewhere. And while recent volatility in the commodity markets is rightfully unsettling for investors, this should not be overblown. The customers that Halliburton works with are large and are diversified across commodities. As a result, they are capable of shifting activity in response to relative prices - de-risking Halliburton in the process. Halliburton has done well adapting to challenges, for example, by moving rigs in Haynesville to more profitable ventures. Furthermore, the fact that coal is also being substituted out for natural gas is not something to be feared, but rather, as I argued earlier, to be excited about. Coal will not be so much replaced, in my view, as it will be overtaken by natural gas as the leading energy source within a decade. At the same time, international unconventional resources could need more equipment to improve profitability, thus increasing Halliburton's clients.
And on a comparable basis, Halliburton is far undervalued. It trades at 13.2x and 9.5x past and forward earnings, respectively, while offering a modest dividend yield of 1%. Schlumberger, Baker Hughes, and Weatherford trade at 14.4x, 10.6x, and 10.4x forward earnings, respectively, while offering dividend yields roughly in line with Halliburton. Expectations for Halliburton are bullish with analysts giving the stock a "strong buy" - although EPS estimates are down versus up 17 to 13. Consensus estimates for EPS are that it will grow by 62.6% to $3.35 in 2011 and then by 21.8% and 17.4% in the next two years. I anticipate revenue growing by 38% to $24.8B in 2011 and then by 7.1% and 12.1% in the following years.
Given that management is clearing up net debt while expanding scale, I find that the fears over margins are exaggerated. They can, and should, take a hit if it means eliminating competition. Accordingly, I recommend the stock as an attractive buy-and-hold.

Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Without question, Sunday is the biggest game the Bills have had in years. The 2-0 New England Patriots enter Ralph Wilson Stadium to take on the 2-0 Buffalo Bills. That has a nice ring to it but 3-0 sounds so much better.
Many have been surprised by what the Bills have accomplished to this point. Even after winning their first two games though they are still more than a touchdown underdog to the Patriots at home.
In years past, I dreaded the two games every season the Bills had to play the Patriots but this team has a different feel around them this year. I don't think the Bills should be favorites but they got a puncher's chance and these are the top five reasons why.

VIP and other premium ticketholders at the new Burswood stadium might have to park offsite at Belmont Park race course or the casino and be shuttled to the venue in buses as stadium planners grapple with a constricted local road network and shortfall of on site parking.
The stadium contains just 250 car parking bays in its basement with an additional 700 bays potentially available in the surrounding sporting precinct.
However, with the stadium set to feature as many as 8000 premium seats, representatives of WA's AFL clubs have told the Government's stadium steering committee they need much more parking onsite to attract sufficient VIP and premium ticket sales.
These customers are crucial because they will generate most of the revenue for the clubs.
Steering committee co-chair Richard Mann, of Treasury's Office of Strategic Projects, told a parliamentary committee today it was "no secret that football would like a significantly larger number of parking bays on site".
"From a planning perspective … it is undesirable to have a large number of people parking there," he said. "You would need to manage it for the public transport to work efficiently pre- and post-game.
"It also, on the road network, would cause significant problems, particularly on the Friday afternoon peak for Friday night games. "We are very keen to explore with football, particularly, solutions for using offsite parking for their premium product patrons."
Mr Mann said discussions would continue but it was "critical" for the success of the stadium that the public transport strategy was efficient.
The steering committee wants 83 per cent of people to arrive by public transport, compared to 61 per cent foreshadowed for Burswood in the 2007 Langoulant report and 40 per cent of people who currently use public transport to attend games at Paterson's Stadium in Subiaco.

SEATTLE (Zillow) — Moving cross-country can be stressful, particularly when you don't know much about the city where you're moving. A few simple steps can help ensure your search is successful, though.
Basic tips
- Panicking won't help. Easier said than done, but take a deep breath and realize that tens of thousands of people move cross-country every year. If you have a plan and you're patient and stick to it, there's no reason you too can't make a successful move.
- Use networking to your advantage. Tell your friends, your relatives and your co-workers you're searching for a place; tell everyone. Asking around costs nothing and may yield immense benefits. In addition, use email, phone and social media to expand your networking reach.
- Time your search appropriately. Different cities have different lead times for finding an apartment. For example, if you're moving to New York City, apartments aren't on the market until a month or less before the move-in date. Conversely, many college towns put apartments on the market three or even five or six months before the move-in date. Go online and look at the listings in the area where you're moving and figure out how far in advance you need to begin your search.
- Research neighborhoods first. Before you start homing in on an apartment, study the neighborhoods in the city where you're moving and get a sense of which ones are right for you. The key categories: the personality of the neighborhood, the price of the neighborhood and the time it will take you to commute to work.
- Do some research online: Read the local papers and look through brokers' and real estate agents' websites. They'll give you a taste for what each neighborhood is like, as well as approximate pricing. If you're worried about crime, most city police departments will provide crime statistics for each neighborhood. Also use an online mapping website to check the commute times.

Aspect of the design I'm most impressed with is likely surprising: The wall layout in front of the garage and den window. Wonderfully incorporates the design element from one of the supplied photos. The arched stonework over the front entry and window above is very nice touch (again, using inspirational photos in elegant way) as is the woodwork at very top of house (the curved bottom complements the curved portion of the roof line). Moving to the garage door side of the house: Increasing the height of the window to match the revised back side of the house (eliminating the curved windows) is an excellent idea as is making a change to the lower portion of the chimney. I don't see any other material changes to the design on this side of the house. I would have liked to see the large black cast iron door used in the design (we're using wrought iron balusters at entry staircase and chandelier, so it would tie together the interior) as well as any lighting fixtures from Ferguson on the front or side of the house. Actually, I don't see any lighting on the house with the exception of the round white globe at the front door. The area above the living room window on the far left is very empty (the sloping roof from original design helped fill it) and the white trim directly above the den looks out of place going across the entire wall, especially when combined with white trim around the windows. The details on trim, color and stone much appreciated! Excellent job.
Very nice and beautiful design. Wish you could have kept the patio door.
I like the staircase idea aimed toward the back of the house. I like the kitchen back door and sliding the sink over. I like the laundry and bathroom changes. I like the office nook and entry. I like the open family space.I like the reading hall. Would swap bathroom and bedroom space.
