Warriors coach Ivan Cleary has named an unchanged starting line-up for this Sunday's 20th-round National Rugby League encounter against South Sydney.
The Warriors go into the away match in fifth spot with 24 points while the Rabbitohs are ninth on 20 points.
While Cleary has selected the same 17, he has added former Queensland State of Origin back rower Jacob Lillyman to the squad, replacing Sione Lousi who was 18th man for last Saturday's 13-6 win against the Melbourne Storm.
Lillyman had been sidelined with a foot injury since the April 25 loss to Melbourne, but returned to action for the Auckland Vulcans in the New South Wales Cup last weekend.
In beating the Storm, the Warriors made it five wins on end, a first for the club since 2003.
"While we've had a good run lately with some consistent performances, we face another major test against the Rabbitohs this week," said Cleary.
"They've got Sam Burgess, who has been in outstanding form this year, as well as David Taylor and Roy Asotasi in their pack and their backline is a really settled combination. They'll be absolutely desperate after being beaten late by the Dragons last week.
"Nothing changes for us. We still have to front up again this week and make sure we compete as well as we can to be in contention."
In the last six weeks, the Warriors have collected 12 points from five wins and a bye, beating Newcastle 32-24, the Sydney Roosters 20-18, Parramatta 35-6, Penrith 12-6 and Melbourne 13-6 to take a share of fourth spot after 19 rounds.
Sitting seventh on the NRL's try-scoring list is winger Manu Vatuvei, with 12 from 11 matches, giving him 41 in his last 47 matches and a career total of 70 in 105 appearances.
The team is:
Lance Hohaia, Kevin Locke, Brent Tate, Jerome Ropati, Manu Vatuvei, James Maloney, Brett Seymour, Jesse Royal, Aaron Heremaia, Russell Packer, Simon Mannering (captain), Lewis Brown, Micheal Luck.
Interchange: Ian Henderson, Ben Matulino, Jeremy Latimore, Ukuma Ta'ai, Jacob Lillyman.

St. Louis, MO- The Wichita State Shockers fell to the number eight Kentucky Wildcats 78-76 Sunday. The Shockers' last loss was in the Final Four of last year's NCAA Tournament. Fred Van Vleet had an opportunity to win the game with a three-pointer at the buzzer but missed the shot. Van Vleet had six assists today. Cleanthony Early led the Shockers with thirty-one points and seven rebounds. Kentucky's twins Andrew and Aaron Harrison had thirty-nine combined points. The Shockers end the perfect season 35-1 and miss out on advancing to the Sweet Sixteen. However, the Shockers still made plenty of history this year with the only 35-0 record in basketball history.

In the June 12, 2013 Payment Matters article "Enrollment Rules Continue To Provide Expanded Bases For Enforcement," reference was made to CMS' publication of Transmittal 469 to the Medicare Program Integrity Manual [PDF]. Transmittal 469 included CMS' announced decision to implement certain proposed regulations that would have expanded the reasons to deny an enrollment application related to an unpaid Medicare debt by policy in advance of finalizing the regulations.
On July 30, 2013, CMS announced that it was rescinding Transmittal 469, which had an October 1, 2013 effective date. CMS explained that it was rescinding the transmittal "due to industry concerns" and that it would "be replaced at a later date." It is unclear if CMS will simply address these industry concerns when making decisions regarding the final regulations or actually republish new policy guidance at a later date.

Huntington Bancshares (HBAN) has added commodities hedging to its capital-markets services, and has hired a specialist from Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB) to lead the new division.
Darrell Fletcher is head of Huntington's commodities-hedging team, the company said Thursday. He joined the Columbus, Ohio, company after thirteen years with Fifth Third's commodities and foreign exchange desk. He has also managed corporate commodity and foreign exchange trading at Alcoa in Pittsburgh.
Huntington is offering its commodities-hedging services to clients throughout its six-state region, and operates a trading desk in Columbus. Its commodities offerings include over-the-counter energy commodities and metals.
Huntington has been expanding its niche services over the last two years. The $56 billion-asset company announced a new energy-lending push in November, and has launched specialty lending initiatives in the international, food and agribusiness sectors. Each move has involved the hiring of experts from rivals. As with Fletcher, Huntington hired Sheila Spradlin Reich, its managing director of international banking, from Fifth Third.
"Huntington's introduction of commodities hedging is a direct result of listening to our customers who requested a larger array of risk management tools to make their businesses more financially secure," Jim Dunlap, Huntington's regional and commercial banking director, said in a news release. "Customers want the convenience of working with one bank where they can manage the price volatility of raw materials, hedge their foreign exchange and mitigate interest rate exposure."

Ecosystem Roles

This asteroid is a corallivore, almost exclusively consuming live sclerectinian corals. An average sized adult (40 cm) can kill up to 478 square cm of live coral per day through its grazing activities. The crown-of-thorns starfish can be seen as an ongoing disturbance factor on the reef, removing swaths of clonal corals in its path, and opening up bare areas of coral rock for settlement and recruitment of other species of sessile invertebrates. Thus, A. planci can be seen to have a role in diversifying the habitat. However, if coral cover is drastically reduced, populations of coral reef specialists (animals that depend exclusively on coral cover for shelter and food) may decrease. Thus the impact of A. planci in their environment depends on how abundant they become. (Glynn, 1976; Keesing and Lucas, 1992; Wilson et al., 2008)

Acanthaster planci harbors several genera of ectoparasitic copepod crustaceans on its dermal surface. (Mah, 2010)

Using density functional theory and generalized gradient approximation for exchange and correlation, we present theoretical analysis of the electronic structure of recently synthesized graphyne and its boron nitride analog (labeled as BN-yne). The former is composed of hexagonal carbon rings joined by C-chains, while the latter is composed of hexagonal BN rings joined by C-chains. We have explored the nature of bonding and energy band structure of these unique systems characterized by sp and sp 2 bonding. Both graphyne and BN-yne are found to be direct bandgap semiconductors. The bandgap can be modulated by changing the size of hexagonal ring and the length of carbon chain, providing more flexibilities of energy band engineering for device applications. The present study sheds theoretical insight on better understanding of the properties of the novel carbon-based 2D structures beyond the graphene sheet.
Communication: The electrostatic polarization is essential to differentiate the helical propensity in polyalanine mutants134(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3581888View Description Hide Description
The folding processes of three polyalanine peptides with composition of Ac-(AAXAA)2-GY-NH2 (where X is chosen to be Q, K, and D) are studied by molecular dynamics simulation in solvent of 40% trifluoroethanol using both polarized and unpolarized force fields. The simulations reveal the critical role of polarization effect for quantitative description of helix formation. When polarized force field is used, peptides with distinctive helical propensity are correctly differentiated and the calculated helical contents are in close agreement with experimental measurement, indicating that consideration of polarization effect can correctly predict the effect of sequence variation on helix formation.
Communication: Bubbles, crystals, and laser-induced nucleation134(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3582897View Description Hide Description
Short intense laser pulses of visible and infrared light can dramatically accelerate crystal nucleation from transparent solutions; previous studies invoke mechanisms that are only applicable for nucleation of ordered phases or high dielectric phases. However, we show that similar laser pulses induce CO2bubblenucleation in carbonated water. Additionally, in water that is cosupersaturated with argon and glycine, argon bubbles escaping from the water can induce crystal nucleation without a laser. Our findings suggest a possible link between laser-induced nucleation of bubbles and crystals.
Communication: Avoiding unbound anions in density functional calculations134(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3590364View Description Hide Description
Converged approximate density functional calculations usually do not bind anions due to large self-interaction error. But Hartree-Fock (HF) calculations have no such problem, producing negative HOMO energies. Thus, electron affinities can be calculated from density functional total energy differences using approximations such as PBE and B3LYP, evaluated on HF densities (for both anion and neutral). This recently proposed scheme is shown to work very well for molecules, better than the common practice of restricting the basis set except for cases such as CN, where the HF density is too inaccurate due to spin contamination.
Communication: A simple method for simulation of freezing transitions134(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3587103View Description Hide Description
Despite recent advances, precise simulation of freezing transitions continues to be a challenging task. In this work, a simulation method for fluid-solid transitions is developed. The method is based on a modification of the constrained cell model which was proposed by Hoover and Ree [J. Chem. Phys.47, 4873 (1967)]10.1063/1.1701730. In the constrained cell model, each particle is confined in a single Wigner-Seitz cell. Hoover and Ree pointed out that the fluid and solid phases can be linked together by adding an external field of variable strength. High values of the external field favor single occupancy configurations and thus stabilize the solid phase. In the present work, the modified cell model is simulated in the constant-pressure ensemble using tempering and histogram reweighting techniques. Simulation results on a system of hard spheres indicate that as the strength of the external field is reduced, the transition from solid to fluid is continuous at low and intermediate pressures and discontinuous at high pressures. Fluid-solid coexistence for the hard-sphere model is established by analyzing the phase transition of the modified model in the limit in which the external field vanishes. The coexistence pressure and densities are in excellent agreement with current state-of-the-art techniques.
Communication: Stable carbon nanoarches in the initial stages of epitaxial growth of graphene on Cu(111)134(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3587239View Description Hide Description
To fully exploit the device potential of graphene, reliable production of large-area, high-quality samples is required. Epitaxialgrowth on metal substrates have shown promise in this regard, but further improvement would be facilitated by a more complete understanding of the atomistic processes involved in the early growth stages. Using first-principles calculations within density functional theory, we have investigated the energetics and kinetics of graphenenucleation and growth on a Cu(111) surface. Our calculations have revealed an energetic preference for the formation of stable one-dimensional carbon nanoarches consisting of 3–13 atoms when compared to two-dimensional compact islands of equal sizes. We also estimate the critical cluster size that marks the transition from nanoarch dominance to island dominance in the growth sequence. Our findings may provide the structural link between nucleated carbon dimers and larger carbon nanodomes, and are expected to stimulate future experimental efforts.
Communication: New insight into the barrier governing CO2 formation from OH + CO134(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3589860View Description Hide Description
Despite its relative simplicity, the role of tunneling in the reaction OH + CO → H + CO2 has eluded the quantitative predictive powers of theoreticalreactiondynamics. In this study a one-dimensional effective barrier to the formation of H + CO2 from the HOCO intermediate is directly extracted from dissociativephotodetachment experiments on HOCO and DOCO. Comparison of this barrier to a computed minimum-energy barrier shows that tunneling deviates significantly from the calculated minimum-energy pathway, predicting product internal energy distributions that match those found in the experiment and tunneling lifetimes short enough to contribute significantly to the overall reaction. This barrier can be of direct use in kinetic and statistical models and aid in the further refinement of the potential energy surface and reactiondynamics calculations for this system.

Correlation effects in molecular conductors134(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3581096View Description Hide Description
The source-sink potential (SSP) model introduced previously [F. Goyer, M. Ernzerhof, and M. Zhuang, J. Chem. Phys.126, 144104 (2007)10.1063/1.2715932] enables one to eliminate the semi-infinite contacts in molecular electronic devices (MEDs) in favor of complex potentials. SSP has originally been derived for independent electrons and extended to interacting two-electron systems subsequently [A. Goker, F. Goyer, and M. Ernzerhof, J. Chem. Phys.129, 194901 (2008)10.1063/1.3013815]. Here we generalize SSP to N-electron systems and consider the impact of electroncorrelation on the transmission probability. In our correlated method for molecular conductors, the molecular part of the Hückel Hamiltonian of the original SSP is replaced by the Hubbard Hamiltonian. For the contacts, however, the single-electron picture is retained and they are assumed to be spin polarized. Using our method, we study electron transmission in molecular wires, cross-conjugated chains, as well as aromatic systems. We find that, for realistic values of the electron–electron repulsion parameter, correlation effects modify the transmission probability quantitatively, the qualitative features remain. However, we find subtle new effects in correlated MEDs, such as Coulomb drag, that are absent in uncorrelated systems.
Testing the parametric two-electron reduced-density-matrix method with improved functionals: Application to the conversion of hydrogen peroxide to oxywater134(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3585568View Description Hide Description
Parametrization of the two-electron reduced density matrix (2-RDM) has recently enabled the direct calculation of electronic energies and 2-RDMs at the computational cost of configuration interaction with single and double excitations. While the original Kollmar energy functional yields energies slightly better than those from coupled cluster with single-double excitations, a general family of energy functionals has recently been developed whose energies approach those from coupled cluster with triple excitations [D. A. Mazziotti, Phys. Rev. Lett.101, 253002 (2008)]. In this paper we test the parametric 2-RDM method with one of these improved functionals through its application to the conversion of hydrogen peroxide to oxywater. Previous work has predicted the barrier from oxywater to hydrogen peroxide with zero-point energy correction to be 3.3-to-3.9 kcal/mol from coupled cluster with perturbative triple excitations [CCSD(T)] and -2.3 kcal/mol from complete active-space second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2) in augmented polarized triple-zeta basis sets. Using a larger basis set than previously employed for this reaction—an augmented polarized quadruple-zeta basis set (aug-cc-pVQZ)—with extrapolation to the complete basis-set limit, we examined the barrier with two parametric 2-RDM methods and three coupled cluster methods. In the basis-set limit the M parametric 2-RDM method predicts an activation energy of 2.1 kcal/mol while the CCSD(T) barrier becomes 4.2 kcal/mol. The dissociation energy of hydrogen peroxide to hydroxyl radicals is also compared to the activation energy for oxywater formation. We report energies, optimal geometries, dipole moments, and natural occupation numbers. Computed 2-RDMs nearly satisfy necessary N-representability conditions.
Reactivity indicators for degenerate states in the density-functional theoretic chemical reactivity theory134(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3585610View Description Hide Description
Density-functional-theory-based chemical reactivity indicators are formulated for degenerate and near-degenerate ground states. For degenerate states, the functional derivatives of the energy with respect to the external potential do not exist, and must be replaced by the weaker concept of functional variation. The resultant reactivity indicators depend on the specific perturbation. Because it is sometimes impractical to compute reactivity indicators for a specific perturbation, we consider two special cases: point-charge perturbations and Dirac delta function perturbations. The Dirac delta function perturbations provide upper bounds on the chemical reactivity. Reactivity indicators using the common used "average of degenerate states approximation" for degenerate states provide a lower bound on the chemical reactivity. Unfortunately, this lower bound is often extremely weak. Approximate formulas for the reactivity indicators within the frontier-molecular-orbital approximation and special cases (two or three degenerate spatial orbitals) are presented in the supplementary material. One remarkable feature that arises in the frontier molecular orbital approximation, and presumably also in the exact theory, is that removing electrons sometimes causes the electron density to increase at the location of a negative (attractive) Dirac delta function perturbation. That is, the energetic response to a reduction in the external potential can increase even when the number of electronsdecreases.
Determining partial differential cross sections for low-energy electron photodetachment involving conical intersections using the solution of a Lippmann-Schwinger equation constructed with standard electronic structure techniques134(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3582807View Description Hide Description
A method for obtaining partial differential cross sections for low energy electron photodetachment in which the electronic states of the residual molecule are strongly coupled by conical intersections is reported. The method is based on the iterative solution to a Lippmann-Schwinger equation, using a zeroth order Hamiltonian consisting of the bound nonadiabatically coupled residual molecule and a free electron. The solution to the Lippmann-Schwinger equation involves only standard electronic structure techniques and a standard three-dimensional free particle Green's function quadrature for which fast techniques exist. The transitiondipole moment for electron photodetachment, is a sum of matrix elements each involving one nonorthogonal orbital obtained from the solution to the Lippmann-Schwinger equation. An expression for the electron photodetachmenttransition dipole matrix element in terms of Dyson orbitals, which does not make the usual orthogonality assumptions, is derived.
Markov models of molecular kinetics: Generation and validation134(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3565032View Description Hide Description
Markov state models of molecular kinetics (MSMs), in which the long-time statistical dynamics of a molecule is approximated by a Markov chain on a discrete partition of configuration space, have seen widespread use in recent years. This approach has many appealing characteristics compared to straightforward molecular dynamics simulation and analysis, including the potential to mitigate the sampling problem by extracting long-time kinetic information from short trajectories and the ability to straightforwardly calculate expectation values and statistical uncertainties of various stationary and dynamical molecular observables. In this paper, we summarize the current state of the art in generation and validation of MSMs and give some important new results. We describe an upper bound for the approximation error made by modelingmolecular dynamics with a MSM and we show that this error can be made arbitrarily small with surprisingly little effort. In contrast to previous practice, it becomes clear that the best MSM is not obtained by the most metastable discretization, but the MSM can be much improved if non-metastable states are introduced near the transition states. Moreover, we show that it is not necessary to resolve all slow processes by the state space partitioning, but individual dynamical processes of interest can be resolved separately. We also present an efficient estimator for reversible transition matrices and a robust test to validate that a MSM reproduces the kinetics of the molecular dynamics data.
Intrinsic stability and hydrogen affinity of pure and bimetallic nanowires134(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3585956View Description Hide Description
A density functional theory study of the intrinsic stability of pure and bimetallic wires is presented. Several bimetallic combinations forming one-atom thick wires are studied. An explanation for the experimental instability of Cu wires in contrast to the stability of Au and Ag wires is given, which relies on the higher surface energy of the former. All the possible intercalations between Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag, and Au are studied. The bimetallic wires AuCu and AuAg were found to be the most stable ones. The reactivity of the latter two systems is also examined using hydrogen adsorption as a microscopic probe. It was found that at the inter-metal interface, up to second neighbors, Cu and Ag become more reactive and Au becomes more inert than the corresponding pure wires. These results are explained within the d-band model.
Accelerating chemical reactions: Exploring reactive free-energy surfaces using accelerated ab initio molecular dynamics134(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3581093View Description Hide Description
A biased potential molecular dynamics simulation approach, accelerated molecular dynamics (AMD), has been implemented in the framework of ab initiomolecular dynamics for the study of chemical reactions. Using two examples, the double proton transferreaction in formic acid dimer and the hypothetical adiabatic ring opening and subsequent rearrangement reactions in methylenecyclopropane, it is demonstrated that ab initio AMD can be readily employed to efficiently explore the reactive potential energy surface, allowing the prediction of chemical reactions and the identification of metastable states. An adaptive variant of the AMD method is developed, which additionally affords an accurate representation of both the free-energy surface and the mechanism associated with the chemical reaction of interest and can also provide an estimate of the reaction rate.
Theoretical study of the photodissociation of Li2 + in one-color intense laser fields134(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3585645View Description Hide Description
A theoretical treatment of the photodissociation of the molecular ion Li2 + in one-color intense laser fields, using the time-dependent wave packet approach in a Floquet Born–Oppenheimer representation, is presented. Six electronic states 1,2 2Σg +, 1,2 2Σu +, 1 2Πg, and 1 2Πu are of relevance in this simulation and have been included. The dependences of the fragmental dissociation probabilities and kinetic energy release (KER) spectra on pulse width, peak intensity, polarization angle, wavelength, and initial vibrational level are analyzed to interpret the influence of control parameters of the external field. Three main dissociation channels, 1 2Σg + (m = −1), 2 2Σg + (m = −2), and 2 2Σu + (m = −3), are seen to dominate the dissociation processes under a wide variety of laser conditions and give rise to well separated groups of KER features. Different dissociation mechanisms for the involved Floquet channels are discussed.
Thermal Gaussian molecular dynamics for quantum dynamics simulations of many-body systems: Application to liquid para-hydrogen134(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3585648View Description Hide Description
A new method, here called thermal Gaussian molecular dynamics (TGMD), for simulating the dynamics of quantum many-body systems has recently been introduced [I. Georgescu and V. A. Mandelshtam, Phys. Rev. B82, 094305 (2010)]. As in the centroid molecular dynamics (CMD), in TGMD the N-body quantum system is mapped to an N-body classical system. The associated both effective Hamiltonian and effective force are computed within the variational Gaussian wave-packet approximation. The TGMD is exact for the high-temperature limit, accurate for short times, and preserves the quantum canonical distribution. For a harmonic potential and any form of operator , it provides exact time correlation functionsC AB (t) at least for the case of , a linear combination of the position, , and momentum, , operators. While conceptually similar to CMD and other quantum molecular dynamics approaches, the great advantage of TGMD is its computational efficiency. We introduce the many-body implementation and demonstrate it on the benchmark problem of calculating the velocity time auto-correlation function for liquid para-hydrogen, using a system of up to N = 2592 particles.
Balancing single- and multi-reference correlation in the chemiluminescent reaction of dioxetanone using the anti-Hermitian contracted Schrödinger equation134(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3585691View Description Hide Description
Direct computation of energies and two-electron reduced density matrices (2-RDMs) from the anti-Hermitian contracted Schrödinger equation (ACSE) [D. A. Mazziotti, Phys. Rev. Lett.97, 143002 (2006)], it is shown, recovers both single- and multi-reference electron correlation in the chemiluminescent reaction of dioxetanone especially in the vicinity of the conical intersection where strong correlation is important. Dioxetanone, the light-producing moiety of firefly luciferin, efficiently converts chemical energy into light by accessing its excited-state surface via a conical intersection. Our previous active-space 2-RDM study of dioxetanone [L. Greenman and D. A. Mazziotti, J. Chem. Phys.133, 164110 (2010)] concluded that correlating 16 electrons in 13 (active) orbitals is required for realistic surfaces without correlating the remaining (inactive) orbitals. In this paper we pursue two complementary goals: (i) to correlate the inactive orbitals in 2-RDMs along dioxetanone's reaction coordinate and compare these results with those from multireference second-order perturbation theory (MRPT2) and (ii) to assess the size of the active space—the number of correlated electrons and orbitals—required by both MRPT2 and ACSE for accurate energies and surfaces. While MRPT2 recovers very different amounts of correlation with (4,4) and (16,13) active spaces, the ACSE obtains a similar amount of correlation energy with either active space. Nevertheless, subtle differences in excitation energies near the conical intersection suggest that the (16,13) active space is necessary to determine both energetic details and properties. Strong electron correlation is further assessed through several RDM-based metrics including (i) total and relative energies, (ii) the von Neumann entropy based on the 1-electron RDM, as well as the (iii) infinity and (iv) squared Frobenius norms based on the cumulant 2-RDM.
Laser control of molecular excitations in stochastic dissipative media134(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3587093View Description Hide Description
In the present work, ideas for controlling photochemical reactions in dissipative environments using shaped laser pulses are presented. New time-local control algorithms for the stochastic Schrödinger equation are introduced and compared to their reduced density matrix analog. The numerical schemes rely on time-dependent targets for guiding the reaction along a preferred path. The methods are tested on the vibrational control of adsorbates at metallic surfaces and on the ultrafast electron dynamics in a strong dissipative medium. The selective excitation of the specific states is achieved with improved yield when using the new algorithms. Both methods exhibit similar convergence behavior and results compare well with those obtained using local optimal control for the reduced density matrix. The favorable scaling of the methods allows to tackle larger systems and to control photochemical reactions in dissipative media of molecules with many more degrees of freedom.
Cutoff radius effect of the isotropic periodic sum and Wolf method in liquid–vapor interfaces of water134(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3578473View Description Hide Description
As a more economical but similarly accurate computation method than the Ewald sum, the isotropic periodic sum (IPS) method for nonpolar molecules (IPSn) and polar molecules (IPSp), along with the Wolf method are of interest, but the cutoff radius dependence is an important issue. To evaluate the cutoff radius effect of the three methods, a water-vapor interfacial system has been studied by molecular dynamics. The Wolf method can produce adequate results for surface tension compared to that of the Ewald sum (within 2.9%) at a long enough cutoff radius, r c. However, the estimation of the electrostatic potential profile and dipole orientational function is poor. The Wolf method cannot estimate electrostatic configuration at r c ⩽ L z /2 (L z is the longest lattice of the system). We have found that the convergence of the surface tension and the electrostatic configuration of the IPSn method is faster than that of the IPSp method. Moreover, the IPSn method is most accurate among the three methods for the same cutoff radius. Furthermore, the behavior of the surface tension against the cutoff radius shows a greater difference for the IPSn and IPSp method. The surface tension of the IPSp method fluctuates and presents a similar result to that of the Ewald sum, but the surface tension for the IPSn method greatly deviates near r c = L z /3. The cause of this deviation is the difference between the interfacial configuration of the water surface and the cutoff treatment of the IPS method. The deviation becomes insignificant far from r c = L z /3. In spite of this shortcoming, the IPSn method gives the most accurate result in estimating the surface tension at r c = L z /2. From all the results in this work, the IPSn and IPSp method have been found to be more accurate than the Wolf method. In conclusion, the surface tension and structure of water-vapor interface can be calculated by the IPSn method when r c is greater than or equal to the longest lattice of the system. The IPSp method and the Wolf method require a longer cutoff radius than the longest lattice of the system to estimate interfacial properties.

State-specific multireference perturbation theory (SS-MRPT) developed by Mukherjee et al.[Int. J. Mol. Sci.3, 733 (2002)] is examined focusing on the dependence of the perturbed energy on the initial model space coefficients. It has been observed earlier, that non-physical kinks may appear on the potential energy surface obtained by SS-MRPT while related coupled-cluster methods may face convergence difficulties. Though exclusion or damping of the division by small coefficients may alleviate the problem, it is demonstrated here that the effect does not originate in an ill-defined division. It is shown that non-negligible model space coefficients may also be linked with the problem. Sensitivity analysis is suggested as a tool for detecting the coefficient responsible. By monitoring the singular values of sensitivity matrices, orders of magnitude increase is found in the largest value, in the vicinity of the problematic geometry point on the potential energy surface. The drastic increase of coefficient sensitivities is found to be linked with a degeneracy of the target root of the effective Hamiltonian. The nature of the one-electron orbitals has a profound influence on the picture: a rotation among active orbitals may screen or worsen the effect.
Generating transition paths by Langevin bridges134(2011); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3586036View Description Hide Description
We propose a novel stochastic method to generate paths conditioned to start in an initial state and end in a given final state during a certain time t f . These paths are weighted with a probability given by the overdamped Langevin dynamics. We show that these paths can be exactly generated by a non-local stochastic differential equation. In the limit of short times, we show that this complicated non-solvable equation can be simplified into an approximate local stochastic differential equation. For longer times, the paths generated by this approximate equation do not satisfy the correct statistics, but this can be corrected by an adequate reweighting of the trajectories. In all cases, the paths are statistically independent and provide a representative sample of transition paths. The method is illustrated on the one-dimensional quartic oscillator.

On Saturday, The Dispatch ran a photograph of Palestinian women from Gaza holding a vigil against Syria's use of chemical weapons against Syrian civilians. The article discussed the difficulties facing President Barack Obama in ordering military action against Syrian President Bashar Assad without a legal mandate from the United Nations or an international coalition.
The photograph of the pious-looking Palestinians holding their candles and the content of the Associated Press article "Obama says U.S. isn't set to strike" had nothing to do with one another.
But the photograph turned my stomach.
Are these the same Palestinians from Gaza who danced in the streets to celebrate the attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11? Is it not true that these very same people would be rejoicing if a chemical-weapons attack had killed 1,000 Israeli women and children?
Is The Dispatch buying into the subtle pro-Palestinian propaganda the liberal press so often features?
This particular photograph was inappropriate for the story.

Thanks for reviewing all of the products! I have been seeing this brand pop up on a lot of blogs. I'm undecided on how good it actually is… The lip color is lovely though!
City Color Cosmetics Review

PR Sample
PR Sample
City Color Cosmetics is a brand that I have recently been introduced to and, let me tell you, I am VERY impressed with their products! I think we can all appreciate quality products at an amazing price. Right?
Recently I was lucky enough to receive a package of City Color Cosmetics full of gorgeous makeup to review for you all. I had originally intended on reviewing each item separately (check out my baked blush review and eyeshadow and blush palette review) but I then realized that if I gave individual reviews that it might not be the best option to use the 15% discount code that was also included for Beauty 101 readers. I mean, really, who doesn't like a good discount on makeup? I know you all do!
So because I want to make sure that you all get full use out of the discount code (details below) I decided to include mini-reviews for the other products in one convenient round up post Enjoy!
This bronzer is GORGEOUS but, be warned, it is VERY shimmery! The pigmentation is excellent and the texture is buttery smooth but if you're looking for a great bronzer for contouring I wouldn't recommend this particular product. The City Color Beach Beauty Bronzer looks absolutely gorgeous when used as a highlighter, blush, or even an all over (light!) face powder. The color is a very pretty bronze and, as you can see in the photo above, the gold palm tree is an over spray.
I'll be honest – this product wasn't my favorite. The colors look so rich and smokey in the palette but when swatched they aren't that exciting. I also don't think the pigment is true to how it appears in the pan since the purple color actually comes out more of a burgundy/maroon color. The quality of these shadows is great but I was pretty disappointed in how the colors came out on the skin.
This product also wasn't a favorite of mine. The formula is VERY smooth, almost waxy, and the color comes out pretty sheer. Because of the smooth/waxy texture I wouldn't recommend these for those of you with oily lids as I imagine that they would crease almost immediately. I don't have oily eyelids and wore this with an eyeshadow primer and noticed creasing within a few hours. The color is a gorgeous, bright purple that would be great on a lower lash line, though!
Um… I'm going to sum this review up in four words: I WANT THEM ALL. I mean, of course I'm bound to love this since I'm lipstick obsessed but I was really impressed with the City Color Matte Lipstick. I find that a lot of matte lipstick tends to dry out the lips but this formula is smooth, easy to apply, and doesn't make my lips dry. I was sent the color Maroon which is a gorgeous red and I'm completely obsessed with it. I got above average wear time (over 4 hours) but found that this lipstick didn't hold up well throughout a full meal. I don't really expect lipstick to last when eating but it would be nice, right?
(PS – This lipstick smells like kool-aid. I love it!)
This product was HARD to review! On one hand I loved it because 1) it's blush and 2) it's a great formula but on the other hand I couldn't love it because I just wasn't a fan of the color I was sent. It is personally a little too brown for my taste but hey – you can't win them all, right? Color aside I was really impressed with the City Color Mosaic Blush as it was very pigmented and applied like a dream. I found that it was a little hard to buff out but I'm pretty sure that was due to the fact that the color didn't suit my skin very well so I had to work extra hard to sheer it out. The City Color Mosaic Blush is very pigmented so a little goes a long way – trust me on this one
Use the code above to receive 15% off your entire order (Expires June 1, 2013)!
So what do you think of City Color Cosmetics? Overall I am VERY impressed by the brand. I don't expect that I'll love every product that a brand releases so although there were a few items that I wasn't a huge fan of I'm still a huge fan!
Until next time

I would definitely check out their baked blush (it's seriously one of my favorites), the matte lipstick, and the eyeshadow and blush palette. Those were honestly my favorites!! The rest of the products, for the most part, are pretty good. Some are better than others but overall it's a great brand, especially if you consider the price. Let me know if you decide to try anything & thanks for stopping by my blog!
Gorgeous products, nice swatches!
Thanks for the swatches! Very pretty.
I am most impressed with the bronzer – it looks amazing! Thanks for sharing, I've never heard of the brand before!

Hangouts on the desktop has an interesting new feature, giving us all the ability to sketch a message out. It's currently pretty crude, but the ability to annotate pics could come in pretty handy. Just ahead of I/O, Google might have added one of the more useful features we've seen in their messaging app in some time.

Nordic Games continues its successful cooperation with KING Art
August 10, 2012
The Raven – Every thief has a past. Not everyone has a future.
Nordic Games announced today, that after successfully launching the Book of Unwritten Tales with major e-tailors they have now signed a deal with KING Art to publish The Raven.
Set across 1960's Europe, The Raven is a stunning fast-paced point and click adventure journeying through thrilling and dense atmospheres with the aim of catching the art burglar, The Raven. Players follow The Raven's trademark black feather clues to capture the thief and to protect a legendary sapphire, the "Eye of the Sphinx" on its journey from Switzerland to Egypt.
This criminal tale for PC, Mac, and consoles – full of twists and turns – immerses the player in both sides of the story, the investigators', as well as the thief's, thereby combining elements of 'Whodunit' with a Heist-story.
"We have built up a great working relationship with KING Art whilst working on the Book of Unwritten Tales and it's great that we can continue to work with them on such an exciting project," said Klemens Kreuzer, General Manager Nordic Games. "The Raven is one of the most thrilling titles we've had the pleasure of working on and we know that it will appeal to a wide audience."
"The Raven is a key title for us and Nordic Games has shown a great passion to deliver the best of the best whilst working on our previous titles. They know exactly what we need to make our games a great success," says Jan Theysen, Creative Director at KING Art. "We have a strong creative team behind us and this new agreement that we have reached with Nordic Games means that we can continue to deliver innovative games."
At this year's Gamescom, a first-look demo will be showcased, along with other game assets in the business area at the Nordic Games booth.
A first asset-package (Logo, Poster) can be downloaded here: http://www.nordicgames.at/files/Raven/20120809-assets_eng.zip

NORFOLK, Va. – A Virginia Beach, Va., couple was convicted Monday of conspiring to enter into marriages with American citizens for the purpose of obtaining permanent resident status in the United States.
The case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Norfolk.
Danil Lyapin, 32, and Natallia Liapina, 54, are scheduled to be sentenced in September.
They each face five years in prison for conspiracy, five years for marriage fraud and five years for each false statement relating to naturalization and citizenship count.
"Marriage fraud poses a direct threat to the integrity of our immigration system and allows people to take advantage of benefits to which they are not entitled," John P. Torres, special agent in charge of HSI Washington, D.C. "HSI will continue its efforts to identify and arrest individuals like Mr. Lyapin and Ms. Liapina, whose actions show a lack of regard for U.S. laws and undermine the legitimate immigration process."
According to court records and evidence at trial, Danil Lyapin entered into a succession of three fraudulent marriages over the past decade to obtain lawful permanent residence status and eventual citizenship in the United States. Danil recruited his longtime business partner Armando to marry his mother so she could come to the United States, fraudulently obtain permanent residence, divorce Armando, re-marry Danil's father and reunite the family in the United States.
Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Joseph DePadilla prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States.

[Verse 1:Kanye West]
Yo, uh, uh c'mon
I've been so lonely girl, I've been so sad and down
Couldn't understand why haters joked around
I wanted to be free with other creatures like me
And now I got my wish, cause I know that I'm a gay fish. (gay fish)
(Gay fish Yo) mother fuckin' gay fish
(I'm a fish yo) goin' on a gay fish
(It's alright girl) makin' love to other gay fish
[Verse 2:Kanye West]
All those lonely nights at the grocery store
In the frozen fish aisle feelin' like a whore
Cause I wasn't being true
Even though everyone said that I had to make a switch
(Gay fish) now I know that I'm a gay fish. (gay fish)
[Verse 3:Kanye West]
I used to be scared, denying who I was
Acting straight but then going out to the gay fish clubs
Dancing with the Marlins making out with the all the Snappers
I'd take a Salmon home and work that caudal fin for hours
But now I'm out and I'm free to love what I want
Be it Yellow Fin or Bass or them trout in Vermont
I slapped that Holland ass, make that Grouper butt shake
I'll come to your house and have an orgy in your motherfuckin' fish tank. (fish tank, fish tank)
[Verse 4:Kanye West]
I really get around I'm the slut of the sea
When I say I've got crabs I mean it literally
I was eating dinner and just had to go down on that Mackerel on the dish
Cause I'm the gayest of the gay fish (gay fish)
[Verse 5:Kanye West]
But I gotta settle down I can't be a whore
I ain't gonna just sleep with any fish no more
I've found me a lover, a brother who's a cross-dressing Cod named Trish
And together we are gay fish (gay fish)

BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) - Jack Wilson hit his third spring homer, matching his total in 390 at-bats as a rookie last year, in a four-run third inning Monday that carried the Pittsburgh Pirates past the Texas Rangers 6-4.
With the score tied 1-1, Wilson led off the third with a homer against loser Colby Lewis.
Mike Benjamin hit a two-run single later in the inning before Luis Polonia added an RBI-single.
Winner Sean Lowe allowed one run on three hits in three innings. Josh Fogg followed Wells and gave up three runs - all on solo homers - in four innings. Lowe and Fogg are competing with Pat Rapp for the last spot in the Pirates' starting rotation.
Mike Fetters and Mike Williams finished for the Pirates with one scoreless inning each, and Williams got a save.
Wilson and Benjamin both had two hits and two RBIs for Pittsburgh, while Jason Kendall also had two hits.
Jason Romano, who had two hits, homered for the Rangers along with Hank Blalock and Ed Sprague. Gabe Kapler also had two hits for Texas.
Lewis, trying to win the last spot in Texas' rotation, allowed four runs and five hits in 2.2 innings.
Kenny Rogers, who will open the season as the Rangers' No. 2 starter, gave up one run and three hits in five relief innings, struck out seven and walked none.
The Rangers will meet Tampa Bay today.

I was surfing the net, and decided to head on over to Cobalt's website. I stumbled across a new product, which I thought I had heard of before, called the RaQ 4. Here are the features:
-Linux OS
-Apache Web Server
-FrontPage 2000 Extensions
-Majordomo List Server
-FTP Server
-128bit SSL, SSH Support
-Bandwidth Management
-Integrated support for PHP
-Chili!Soft ASP
-Interbase 6 SQL Database
-RAID 1 (disk mirroring)
Note that it ads PHP Support, ASP, SQL Database and RAID 1.
Its PDF File can be found here: http://www.cobalt.com/products/pdfs/datasheet.raq4.pdf
But it now supports an Intel Pentium 3 450. Look at the PDF. Though the downside is they are expensive.
Just thought I would inform you all.

It is amazing that in it's 4th version... they are still using a crappy K6 CPU and UDMA. The interface has been added some features but otherwise nothing great... Thinking of "all" the negative with a such an overpriced machine I still would like to buy a RAQ 4r Scottlaw mention somewhere that he's Intel machine didn't boost that much of a difference from the previous RaQ3 and I think the same, it is fair to say that this machine is capable of handling jobs beyond what RaQ2 and the Cube's ( never buy them).
At the end of the day it's your personal choice that counts. The new RaQ4r should be more than enough for most people. I am waiting in excitement for the RaQ9p which will have a P3 600

The Oshawa Generals announced today the acquisition of right winger Hunter Smith from the Windsor Spitfires. The Generals also receive a conditional 4th round pick in 2014 and a 6th round pick in 2015 in the deal. In exchange, the Generals have traded left winger Emerson Clark and a 3rd round pick in 2014.
"Hunter is a young developing player with a lot of potential," commented General Manager Jeff Twohey. "He will be an important part of our future and we look forward to his development with us."
Hunter played 15 games with the Windsor Spitfires last season, scoring one goal. He stands a staggering 6'7" and weighs in at 220 pounds, making him force to be contended with on the Generals offense.
Emerson Clark served with the Generals for three seasons after joining the team as a free agent. He totalled 147 games, 19 goals, 7 assists, and 26 points during his time in Oshawa.
"Emerson is a dedicated and hardworking player and we appreciate all the time and energy he committed to the team," commented Jeff Twohey. "It was important to us to resolve our overage player situation early and get Emerson settled. We're glad we could do that and we wish him all the best."

President Obama designated June Great Outdoors Month to encourage Americans to take advantage of our rich, natural and cultural outdoor resources while being active outdoors. Fortunately, the first group of U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools provides us many examples of innovative approaches to getting students active and learning outdoors year-round.
For example, at Evergreen Charter School in Asheville, N.C., the adventure physical education program includes rock climbing, white water rafting, camping and backpacking. At Thomas J. Waters Elementary in Chicago, students go on lengthy walks, dig potatoes, gather seeds and leaves, go fishing in Lake Michigan, and participate in organized runs. At North Shore Community School in Duluth, Minn., and Fishburn Elementary in Roanoke, Va., students tap maple trees every winter to enjoy with their breakfast.
The list goes on including schools that boast organic gardens, birdhouses built by students, an urban peach orchard, ponds, and even a native medicine wheel garden in Wahpeton, N.D.
Other ED Green Ribbon schools are encouraging students to get outdoors in their daily commute. At Grand View Elementary in Manhattan Beach, Calif., students are rewarded with hand stamps on Walk to School Wednesdays. Likewise, Bernard High School in Bernardsville, N.J. obtained a $300,000 Safe Routes to School Grant to build a sidewalk, helping more students in the community to commute safely on foot. Environmental Charter High School students in Lawndale, Calif., operate a bike repair shop encouraging more students and staff to cycle rather than drive.
These schools are taking advantage of a wealth of free teaching materials to assist them in outdoor curriculum development, including resources like:
- Bureau of Land Management's Hands on the Land
- National Park Service Education Resources
- Fish and Wildlife Service Schoolyard Habitats
- NOAA National Marine and Protected Centers Education
- NOAA Ocean Guardian School Program
- USDA Agriculture In the Classroom,
- Get more free resources on the ED-GRS resources page.
And while schools may place an emphasis on outdoor, hands-on learning, parents can also teach these skills in their own garden or with a backyard campout.
Though June is National Outdoors Month, every month is a good time to teach students with hands-on and physical activities outdoors! Using the outdoors helps keep a child's mind and body actively engaged in critical academic subjects. If we want to ensure that students are healthy, high performing and prepared for the challenges of the next century, they'll need to stay fit and connected to the land.
Stay tuned to ED-GRS' biweekly blogspot for more examples of how schools can use environment to teach green technologies, STEM and civic skills, as well as reduce school costs and improve student health. For now, ED's facilities, health and environment 'Green Team' wishes all students and teachers a wonderful summer of outdoor exploring!

The Joyride
The Joyride takes on the old-school tendencies of many neosoul albums by locking itself more to a revisionist movement than boldly extending tradition. Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra (LCJO) overtones loom all over the proceeding, which isn't surprising considering that Wycliffe Gordon was one of the LCJO's most prized members before he left a few years ago. His band is full of LCJO-ers as well, such as drummer Herlin Riley, saxophonist Victor Goines, bassist Rodney Whitaker and pianist Farid Barron. And even though Gordon penned all the compositions, sometimes it's difficult to not think of this album as just another extension of the LCJO aesthetic, especially on the swaggering "Well Well Well (Walkin' the Blues)," which unfortunately becomes tedious thanks to the contrived vocal, call-and-response banter between Gordon and his bandmates.
While there is always a hint of nostalgia surrounding Jazz at Lincoln Center, there's always a superlative degree of musicianship in the Orchestra. As for trombonists, Gordon is easily one of the best of his generation. He hones an assured, soulful tone and crafts supple, luxurious passages that never slag. He also knows how to explore the expressive vocalizations inherent in the trombone, as evident on the sunny "Blues Impromptus," where he alternates, effectively, between uproarious cackles and mellifluous lyricism. On the elegant "Wishing Well," which also features splendid soprano work from Goines, Gordon's balladic trombone is utterly seductive, while on the joyous "Let's Call This" he summons the blues with heartfelt conviction. Gordon also displays infallible command on tuba on the highly overdubbed "Just Going On."
There's superb playing throughout The Joyride, even during some of its cornier moments, but sometimes you just wish that Gordon would venture farther away than Alice Tully Hall.

Anabolic Laboratories' Nutra Disc® might work to preserve healthy joints and connective tissues.
First' every serving of Nutra Disc® contains 250 milligrams of glucosamine sulfate as well as over 200 milligrams of chondroitin sulfate. Notably' glucosamine may aid in the production of cartilage (a tough form of connective tissue that cushions your joints) while working to discourage the breakdown of existing cartilage. Moreover' chondroitin could potentially act to stimulate your body's production of glycosaminoglycans' which are polysaccharides that might absorb water in order to lubricate your joints.
Finally' this Anabolic Laboratories supplement provides a proprietary enzyme blend called Z-Pro. In particular' Z-Pro contains bromelain and papain as well as other enzymes that might have gentle anti-inflammatory properties.
As a result' Nutra Disc® may help address certain symptoms associated with minor joint pain or stiffness.
At the recommended serving size of two capsules three times daily' each 90-capsule bottle of Nutra Disc® by Anabolic Laboratories should last for 15 days.
