"Time Crystals" Could Be a Legitimate Form of Perpetual Motion

News | More Science

Physicists explore the concept that cold states of matter can form repeated patterns in time

The phrases "perpetual-motion machine"?a concept derided by scientists since the mid-19th century?and "physics Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek" wouldn't seem to belong in the same sentence. But if Wilczek's latest ideas on symmetry and the nature of time are correct, they would suggest the existence of a bona fide perpetual-motion machine? albeit one from which energy could never be extracted. He proposes that matter could form a "time crystal," whose structure would repeat periodically, as with an ordinary crystal, but in time rather than in space. Such a crystal would represent a previously unknown state of matter and might have arisen as the very early universe cooled, losing its primordial symmetries.

Wilczek describes his work in this article and in this one coauthored by Alfred Shapere of the University of Kentucky, that he posted on the physics preprint server, arXiv.org, on February 12.

"The papers themselves are perfectly respectable, undoubtedly correct, and interesting," says cosmologist Sean Carroll of the California Institute of Technology.

Known for his pioneering work in developing quantum chromodynamics, the theory that explains how the particles inside atomic nuclei stick together, Wilczek, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, says he got his latest idea two years ago while teaching a course on group theory. That branch of mathematics, which uses matrices to describe the symmetries inherent in families of elementary particles, also describes and classifies the structure of crystals. Materials such as a liquid or a gas in equilibrium, made of uniformly distributed particles, exhibit perfect spatial symmetry?they look the same everywhere and in every direction.

But at very low or minimum energies, most materials can't retain that symmetry, and they crystallize. The regular geometric pattern of a crystal lacks complete spatial symmetry; the structure does not look the same everyplace. Because crystals have less symmetry than before, physicists say they exhibit spontaneous symmetry breaking. Equivalent processes occur in many domains of physics. A type of broken symmetry, which would be indicated by the presence of the Higgs boson now being hunted at the Large Hadron Collider, would explain why subatomic particles have mass.

Wilczek says he started wondering whether the concept of an ordinary three-dimensional crystal could be extended to four dimensions, with the extra dimension that of time. A time crystal would spontaneously break what Wilczek calls "the mother of all symmetries"?the symmetry of time translation, which holds physical laws remains the same regardless of what time it is. A time crystal would change with time but keep coming back to the same form it began with, like a clock whose moving hands periodically return to their original positions.

The difference from an ordinary clock or other periodic process is that a time crystal, as with a spatial crystal, would be a state of minimum possible energy. At first glance, that poses a contradiction. A time crystal by definition must change with time in order to break time translation symmetry. But a system with minimum energy ordinarily can't move. If it could, then additional energy could still be extracted, until the system achieved a true minimum energy, a motionless state.

"At first I thought this was easy, then that it was impossible," Wilczek noted in a recent lecture at Arizona State University at Tempe. "Now I think it's neither easy nor impossible."

HTC One X exclusive to AT&T in the US, brings LTE, Beats, ICS and Sense 4 to Ma Bell

HTC One X exclusive to AT&T in the US, brings LTE, Beats, ICS and Sense 4 to Ma Bell
Just frothy thinking about HTC's recently unveiled superphone, the One X? Well, for those of you that call the US home, outside of importing HTC's latest, you're going to have only one network choice, and that's AT&T. Unlike the global Tegra 3 version announced today, Uncle Sam's variant swaps out that quad-core goodness for an LTE radio paired with a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 by Qualcomm -- specs which curiously match a video titled One XL, which we've embedded after the break from its YouTube page. This also marks the first occasion a Beats by Dr. Dre-powered handset has made an appearance on the carrier. Other then that, you're looking at the same gorgeous 4.7-inch 1280 x 720 HD screen, 8-megapixel f/2.0 shooter and Sense 4 running atop Ice Cream Sandwich. As for when it'll land? The duo's playing coy, only mentioning it'll come in the "coming months." Stay tuned for a hands-on.

Update: If you're wondering how the dual-core switcheroo will impact performance, AnandTech lays out some thoughts on the brain swap.

Hibernation offers new insight into protection from cardiac arrhythmias

San Diego, Calif. How much calcium could a hibernating woodchuck's heart cells sequester, if a hibernating woodchuck's heart cells could sequester calcium? More than enough, it turns out, to protect the animals from cardiac arrhythmias abnormal heart rhythms such as ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation that can lead to sudden cardiac death according to a new study of the hibernating animals that may provide insight into arrhythmia therapies. The findings will be presented at a poster session at the 56th Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society (BPS), which will take place Feb. 25-29 in San Diego, Calif.

Bear and bats can be roused from their slumber by external stimuli. But woodchucks (Marmota monax), also known as groundhogs, are "true hibernators," which means they can enter a profoundly altered physiological state: their body temperature drops to near-ambient levels (often as low as freezing) and heart and respiration rates slow dramatically. Despite or perhaps because of these changes, hibernating animals have been found to be more resistant to cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.

Electrophysiologist Lai-Hua Xie, an assistant professor at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ)-New Jersey Medical School in Newark, and his colleagues examined muscle cells, or myocytes, isolated in winter and in summer from woodchucks. Using a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera, the researchers monitored the release and uptake of calcium ions when the cells were activated. The team found that in winter woodchucks, the myocyte sarcoplasmic reticulum the membrane system in muscle cells that stores and releases calcium had less spontaneous leakage of calcium, released more of it during excitation, and took it back up faster than that of summer woodchucks or non-hibernating animals. This is likely, he says, "to generate a stronger contraction and faster relaxation, and most importantly, to prevent abnormal changes in the heart's electrical activities called afterdepolarizations."

The overall effect, Xie says, is a "higher resistance to arrhythmia in woodchucks in winter. Understanding these cardiac adaptive mechanisms in hibernators may suggest new strategies to protect non-hibernating animals, especially humans, from fatal cardiac arrhythmias induced by hypothermic stresses and myocardial ischemia."

Xie and his colleagues conducted the work with funding from the National Institutes of Health and in collaboration with Stephen Vatner, director of the UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School Cardiovascular Research Center.

The presentation, "Calcium handling properties in a hibernating animal: Insights into antiarrhythmic mechanisms," is at 1:45 on Sunday, Feb. 26, 2012, in the San Diego Convention Center, Hall FGH. ABSTRACT: http://tinyurl.com/7mtrp4a

Approaches for Business to business Marketing during a Economic ...

Massive Sales Results @ 1/2 the investment

Ought to B2B marketers adjust their strategies after a recession? Does an economic depression always mean marketers have to work actually harder to find ways to do more with a smaller amount? Can a recession develop opportunity for smart marketers to grow and prosper? These are some of the subject areas I recently explored over a panel at the SMX Sophisticated conference in Dallas.

Are we in a decline?

First off, let me explain I do not think we?re inside a recession in the US * yet. A recession needs two quarters of negative growth in GDP, and Q4 last year observed 0.6% growth even though preliminary numbers for Q1 this year were 3.9% growth (Bureau regarding Economic Statistics).

And we all may not yet be in a recession, but occasions are growing increasingly difficult for consumers. The subprime mess is actual, exorbitant energy as well as food costs are reducing into discretionary spending, along with the weakening dollar will be importing inflation to your economy. According to The way i Spent My Government, the $152 billion stimulus bundle is going primarily to reduce consumer debt or to buy higher gas as well as food costs, i.e. it is not likely to stimulate incremental spending.

What this means is that we will be in the worst feasible non-recession. Prior downturns avoided learning to be a (global) recession due to resilient American client. This time, it looks such as we won?t have that saving grace ? meaning points may still get worse prior to better.

What does this implies for B2B marketing techniques?

Fewer consumers signifies less demand; a smaller amount demand means that attempts to stimulate requirement (i.e. advertising) are less effective total. Put simply, when people buy less, advertisers cut back. According to research company Veronis Suhler Stevenson, US advertising dropped 9% in the 2001 a downturn while Internet advertising chop down a whopping 27%. I should explain that this slowdown pertains to business-to-business marketers as well because of second- and higher-order effects, i.e. as client spending drops, the businesses that sell to individuals consumers reduce their own spending as well.

Nonetheless, these overall numbers hide two essential facts:

Branding and other forms of push marketing decline in a slowdown, even though direct marketing tends to rise. When finances are cut, the particular channels with the very least ability to measure internet marketing ROI are reduce especially hard while companies shift shelling out to more quantifiable channels. Investment bank Cowen and Company viewed the last six recessions given that 1950 and found that investing in direct marketing in fact grew during six recessions.

This time is different regarding online marketing. In the Mid 2001 recession, online marketing was still unproven and got captured in the downward fall of the Internet generally speaking. Today, the trend in order to shift advertising money to measurable on the internet channels is verified and won?t disappear soon. So online marketing won?t crater just like last time, but it also isn?t immune from a slowdown. In reality, eMarketer recently reduced their 2008 estimate for people online advertising to $25.8-10 billion. That is a 7% decline from their prior estimation ? showing the particular impact of the downward spiral ? but it?s important to note that it is still 23% more than 2007?s total. In other words, the current recession may slow down the expansion of online marketing, but it?s nonetheless growing at a substantial pace.

What this means is that the recession will speed up the decline associated with interruption-based mass advertising that shouts your information to customer. Instead we will see increased development in measurable and relationship-based techniques such as search marketing, email marketing, lead nurturing, and online communities.

A downward spiral can also create potential for the companies that are extremely effective at turning advertising and marketing investments into income, since there will be significantly less competition overall. In the study of U.S. recessions, McGraw-Hill Research found that business-to-business firms that maintained or perhaps increased advertising expenditures during the 1981-1982 recession averaged substantially higher sales growth than those that eliminated or decreased marketing. In fact, by 1985 companies that were aggressive recession advertisers matured their revenue around 2.5X faster compared to those that reduced their own advertising.

Seven strategies for B2B marketing within a slowdown

Given these types of macro economic trends, precisely how should you allocate your current marketing budget ? and time? This is my definitive help guide to B2B marketing after a downturn:

1. Employ lead management to maximise the value of each steer. In a recession, risk-adverse buyers take even longer than usual to research potential buys. When you first identify a new prospect (regardless of whether that they downloaded a whitepaper, ceased by your booth at a tradeshow, or signed up for a free trial) they are more likely than not still in the attention or research period and are not yet able to engage with one of your revenue reps. What this means is you will need lead scoring to spot which leads are very engaged, and direct nurturing to develop connections with qualified prospects who are not yet ready to build relationships sales. Without these kind of capabilities, as many as 95% involving qualified prospects who are not however sales-ready never end up turning out to be a sales prospect. These prospects tend to be valuable corporate property that you worked challenging to acquire ? consequently in a down overall economy you need to do everything easy to maximize value at their store. Implementing even a simple automated lead taking care of program can deliver a 4-fold improvement in the conversion of brings into sales possibilities over time. That?s a extraordinary improvement marketing return! Net-net: Companies that can do a better job of managing prospects and developing early-stage prospective customers into sales prepared leads will be in the top position to blossom in a downturn.

2. Focus on your house record. In a recession, maybe you have less money to spend on acquiring new customers. The answer is simple: spend more time advertising to (and building relationships with) people you already know. Some actions that can help you get the best your existing relationships include lead nurturing campaigns, creating new content material to offer to existing prospects, and washing and augmenting the marketing lead database with progressive profiling.

3. Build and enhance landing pages. When instances are tough, it?s more important than ever to maximize the actual return on your advertising. Whether you are using Pay per click, banners, sponsorships, or email promotions, a dedicated landing page could be the single most effective way to change a click into a prospect. MarketingSherpa?s Landing Page Guide book shows that relevant web page can easily double conversion rates versus sending ticks to the home page, along with testing your pages could increase conversions simply by another 48% or more. Collectively, these tactics by yourself can result in 2.5X more leads for every dollar you spend, something that?s likely to look good in challenging times. However, MarketingSherpa also reviews that most companies are usually under-using this important approach: just 44% of mouse clicks for B2B organizations are directed to your home page, not a special landing page, and of B2B companies that use landing pages, 62% have six as well as fewer total pages. A recession is perhaps local plumber to focus on some of these principles.

4. Content with regard to later in the purchasing cycle. When buying decelerates, you need to focus more than ever before on making sure you might be finding the prospects that are actually ready to buy ? or even better, get them to finding you. A great technique to do this is to concentrate your offers in content that will appeal to someone who?s actually trying to find a solution (as opposed to believed leadership and best techniques content, which can appeal to prospects who may possibly one day have a need to have but are not currently looking). Examples of this kind of content can include ?Top 5 Questions you should ask a Potential Vendor? whitepapers; buyers guides and checklists; expert evaluations; and so on.

5. Appeal to the anxious buyer. A recession could mean more risk-adverse buyers, which can lead to a tendency to match ?safe? solutions. This is for large established businesses, but it means more youthful companies need to do more than ever to reassure and build trust. Tactically, this means such as customer references, reviews, expert opinions, accolades, and other validation in your marketing. Strategically, an economic depression means fewer threat takers and visionaries, so please take a lesson from Geoffrey Moore?s Traversing the Chasm and use techniques that appeal to well known pragmatists: industry-specific marketing tactics and also solutions; vertical customer references; relevant partnerships and alliances; and whole product marketing.

Six. Align sales and marketing. Today?s prospects start their process by interacting with advertising and online channels a long time before they ever consult with a sales representative. This means organizations must integrate advertising and marketing and sales efforts to produce a single revenue pipeline. The old days of practical silos and poor interaction between the two sectors must end. A tougher selling surroundings, driven by a decline, means this is much more true than ever.

Seven. Don?t be a cost centre. Most executives today think that Sales produces revenue and Internet marketing is a cost heart. Marketers are partially to blame for part of this mindset, since when we utilize metrics such as ?cost for every lead? we frame the actual discussion in terms of costs, not in terms of impact on revenue. More indistinctly, using language such as ?marketing spending? and ?marketing budget? instead of ?marketing investment? endorses these beliefs. Inside a recession, marketing wants more than ever to change these kinds of perceptions. This means that advertising investments must be justified with a rigorous business case and should become amortized over the entire ?useful life? from the investment. And it implies marketing must enhance marketing accountability simply by demonstrating the influence of each marketing exercise on pipeline and also revenue. Of course, that is easier said than done, but which doesn?t mean you shouldn?t test. Even small measures, like reports that report the total opportunity price for each lead origin or campaign, can create a big impact.

Conclusion

Even if we aren?t inside a recession, we are in for some tough financial times ? plus an economic slowdown means a tendency to scale back advertising spending. However, research shows that a downturn generates opportunity to accelerate development faster than the competition. This means it may be the best time to step up your marketing ? at least in quality otherwise quantity. The entrepreneurs that focus on getting the most from every dollar put in and on demonstrating marketing?s impact on revenue and direction will be well situated to come out of the downturn looking like a star.

Self-Awareness, Self-Improvement and Self-Empowerment | kobe ...

Self-Awareness, Self-Improvement as well as Self-Empowerment

It says per Noah which he brought a animals to a ark in couples. But there have been things which come in triples, similar to Self-Awareness, Self-Improvement as well as Self-Empowerment. The 3 go palm in palm (sort of a couple). The longer we step a scold path, these 3 can combine as well as turn ONE.

No consternation all these 3 concepts proceed with SELF. No-one will step a route for you. You have been under obligation to we do ?the work?, to step a three times path.

These have been ?smart news?. There will be no Self-Empowerment whilst not Self-Improvement, as well as not a single of a dual whilst not Self-Awareness. One ends up in a alternative as well as feed any alternative during a same time. Thus, a notation we enter upon upon a route to any of a 3, we have been essentially embarking upon a route to any or all 3 together.

What?s Self-Awareness?

This is a tour to your inner-self; removing to assimilate as well as assimilate yourself higher; being honest as well as loyal relating to who you?re, how we hoop your life, how we harm yourself as well as your relationships, how we extent as well as incarcerate yourself.

It?s realizing which factors have an outcome upon your emotions, attitudes, reactions as well as behaviours via your life.

What?s Self-Improvement?

It?s receiving a imperative stairs to de-activate a purpose opposite factors have exerted over we as well as prevented we from being ?who we unequivocally are?. It is a routine of ?changing in to a aloft person? in a equates to we assimilate yourself as well as in a ways in which we be a cause of yourself to ?do better? in your hold up (?doing higher? in line with your clarification of a meaning).

What?s Self-Empowerment?

It?s your capability to await yourself to try as well as do things we haven?t had a bravery to do before; it?s apropos a single more assertive; it?s carrying a clearer prophesy of where we would similar to to transport (professionally as well as personally); how we wish to titillate there; which ways in which we intend to request so as to attain as well as to shift whatever we feel desires change.

As we travel this three times route we get nearer as well as closer to becoming different in to whole. In bit with yourself, your needs, fears as well as wishes, strengths with weaknesses. You enhance your authenticity, your capability to speak out your mind, do what feels right for we as well as not do what doesn?t feel right (which others wish we to try as well as do).

The three times SELF is unequivocally a single whole

What?s intensely good about this routine of removing nearer to ?yourSELF?, is which a notation we enter upon upon a tour to Self-Awareness, Self-Improvement or Self-Empowerment ? we have got started a routine of mending who you?re as well as thus a hold up we have. This will no disbelief commission we to retain aloft personal as well as learned interactions.

Obama: Manufacturing rebounding after painful time

(AP) ? President Barack Obama says the painful restructuring of America's manufacturing base means a lot of jobs are gone forever, but that does not mean Americans must "settle for a lesser future."

In his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday, Obama said American manufacturers are reinventing themselves with new technology and new efficiencies that have helped lead to what the administration claims are 3.7 million new jobs created over the past two years.

"Factories where people thought they'd retire have left town. Jobs that provided a decent living have been shipped overseas" and will not return, Obama said. "But that doesn't mean we have to settle for a lesser future."

He recorded the address while visiting a massive Boeing Co. manufacturing plant near Seattle on Friday. He toured a modern factory floor and the inside of one of the aircraft maker's new flagship Dreamliner passenger jets.

"Companies like Boeing are realizing that even when we can't make things cheaper than China, we can make things better," Obama said in the weekly address. "That's how we're going to compete globally."

Delivering the Republican address, Washington Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers accused Obama of overspending that will set the country up for a financial implosion like the one in Greece.

"Instead of leading the effort to bring down our debt and make tough choices, the president is proposing that we spend more and more," she said.

While at Boeing on Friday, Obama announced steps to offer financing to U.S. companies to match help their foreign competitors get, with the goal of helping American industries compete.

Obama called on Congress to extend the Export-Import Bank's authorization. White House officials said the bank will reach its lending limit at the end of March and Obama pointed to it as a key player in helping promote U.S. exports.

At the same time, the White House announced that Boeing will participate in an Export-Import Bank program that helps companies advance money to suppliers on export-related contracts. Administration officials said Boeing would be committing to more than $700 million in short-term credit this year. Officials said the arrangement would help Boeing compete for foreign clients against European jet maker Airbus.

Facing re-election, Obama has pointed to a decline in unemployment and trumpeted a recent boost in manufacturing jobs as an indicator of an economy on the mend. Republicans seeking the White House have accused Obama of failing to steer the economy out of a deep recession.

Nhs Top-ups, The Healthcare System And Consumers

Published by Sherry | February 17, 2012 | | 11

NHS Top-ups, the Healthcare System and Consumers
The choice on to permit NHS patients in England to high up their NHS care by paying for extra medicine, provided non-public treatments occur in non-public medical facilities, may be a monumental one with so much-reaching implications. Coming when regarding four months of consultation, the policy will automatically put an end to the old regime in which resorting to a non-public facility or medicine outside those authorised by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice) would result in one let alone access to NHS care.
Relying heavily on the necessity to enhance access to medicines for NHS patients, Health Secretary Alan Johnson and National Cancer Director Professor Michael Richards made the new call public.
In the period underneath which it was debated, varied positions were advanced by experts of varying skilled backgrounds, including medical practitioners who created clear their position that permitting the policy could weaken the health system rather than serve as a boost. And there were several others who felt it had been high time NHS patients were allowed to supplement their care with non-public fee-paying treatments. In this case too, the necessity to strengthen the NHS was clearly articulated.
What are the probably implications of NHS high-ups?
One among the terribly first things that analyst are clear regarding is that permitting NHS prime-ups might result in many patients, especially people who will conveniently afford it, turn to private medical or health insurance at the expense of the NHS.
Let?s not forget that some months ago, when the superbug issue dominated discourses everywhere within the country, many folks wished to opt for what they termed cleaner, superbug-free non-public medical facilities. Usually, people in support of this position argued that the non-public healthcare attracts fewer people of less numerous backgrounds and are, so cleaner. The actual fact that it may mean paying a lot of money as opposed to the just about entirely free of charge services obtained from the NHS mattered, and still matters, less to these people.
However in fairness to many in this class the choice would permit a wider access to treatments, especially for individuals suffering such terribly serious illnesses as cancer. While unveiling it, Mr Johnson noted that: ?It?s an incredibly thorough report and I?m accepting all of his recommendations.? The health secretary went on to clarify that the policy would lead to ?bigger clarity, a fairer society and wider access to treatment.?
For many that worked round the clock to make sure its approval this is a sweet victory that comes with many advantages. And for those, like insurance firms, who didn?t make any obvious push towards it however silently prayed for it to work out the light of the day, it?s a dream come true.
This, maybe, explains why some pundits were against it from the consultation period up till now. Consultants on this facet of the argument still believe that the health system would be hugely undermined and the big insurance firms would be the winners.
Whether or not this can happen or not, the most necessary issue at the instant, especially for consumers, is to make the foremost of its blessings and avoid those flaws that may get them into trouble. Typically, as within the case of most insurance policies, the essential issue to try and do is to attempt searching and comparing deals as a lot of as possible. With online comparison sites at our disposal continuously, we haven?t any excuse not to seek out the deals that suit our needs most.

DeMarco: Which way will the Red Sox go?

Valentine a good fit for Boston, but very little separates pack behind Yanks

Image: ValentineGetty Images

Bobby Valentine has his work cut out for him in his first season as Red Sox manager.

OPINION

By Tony DeMarco

NBCSports.com contributor

updated 7:00 p.m. ET Feb. 16, 2012

Tony DeMarco

Remember last spring, when the Boston Red Sox were anointed as clear favorites in the American League East after adding Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford? We know how that turned out, of course.

Well, in a measure of just how far this division has come in a calendar year ? and how good it can be in 2012 and the near-future ? we present the possibility of the Red Sox finishing fourth behind the New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays and stealthily improved Toronto Blue Jays.

Admittedly, 'the fourth-place Red Sox' sounds a bit extreme ? and won't be a consensus call, by any means. The last time the Sox finished any lower than third place was way back in 1997 ? Jimy Williams' first season as manager after replacing Kevin Kennedy. Seems like ancient history, doesn't it?

Since then, the Red Sox have made six postseason appearances, won two pennants and two World Series titles. And over the last 10 seasons, they have averaged 93 wins, and only twice won fewer than 90 games.

But then again, coming off back-to-back 89- and 90-win seasons that left them out of the postseason picture, it won't take much of a fallback to 84-85 wins and fourth place. So first, let's look at which way the Red Sox are likelier to go this season.

On the plus side, they led the majors in runs scored last season and had a +138 run differential, fourth in MLB behind the Yankees (+210), Phillies (+184), Rangers (+178). The run-production side of that equation involved the Red Sox finishing first in on-base and slugging percentage, and second in batting average.

The Pythagorean formula for that run differential had them at 94-68 as opposed to their actual 90-72 record, and boy, could they have used those extra four wins. This suggests their issues perhaps were more mental than physical ? especially in early April and late-September, right?

And if anybody can come in and turn around a team's attitude and fortunes ? all while handling a clubhouse full of strong personalities amidst the scrutiny and pressure that comes with the territory in Red Sox Nation ? it's Bobby Valentine.

There really are few, if any sharper minds in the game. And If the clubhouse buys in, and Valentine finds the right buttons to push to energize and focus his roster, there's good reason to think the Red Sox will be back in the playoffs.

However, the front office didn't do Valentine any favors in an off-season when Ben Cherington replaced Theo Epstein. So as camps open this weekend, these vital questions remain to be answered:

  • Clay Buchholz says he's fine, but how smoothly will Daniel Bard's transition to the rotation go, and who fills the fifth spot behind him? Daisuke Matsuzaka won't be back until mid-season or so, and who knows what he'll be able to accomplish coming off Tommy John surgery. That leaves Alfredo Aceves and a handful of non-roster invitees led by oft-injured Vicente Padilla.
  • Nobody has more to prove this season than Crawford, and he'll have to do it coming off wrist surgery that is expected to keep him out of the lineup until late-April or so. In the interim, the corner outfielders flanking Jacoby Ellsbury are Cody Ross, Darnell McDonald and Ryan Sweeney. Not exactly Yaz, Rice or Dewey now, are they?
  • Who's the shortstop on this team? Cherington saw fit to deal both Jed Lowrie and Marco Scutaro, and take his chances with Nick Punto, Mike Aviles and the possible emergence of defensive-whiz prospect Jose Iglesias. You really have to wonder if they will be shopping for another shortstop before the trade deadline.
  • There's a solid case to be made that Andrew Bailey and Mark Melancon can hold up the eighth and ninth innings in place of Jonathan Papelbon and Bard. But is the middle-relief crew led by Franklin Morales and Matt Albers deep enough and playoff-caliber?
  • The catching situation is in flux, and we won't even go to the beer-and-fried chicken questions about the top two guys in the rotation. That's an awful lot of legitimate questions for a team with a projected payroll in the $160-170 million range.

And now, the competition:

The Yankees won 97 games (albeit losing to Detroit in Game 5 of the ALDS) and have added Michael Pineda and Hiroki Kuroda to their rotation ? their weakest area last season. The offense is led now by Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson and Mark Teixeira, so Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter don't have to do it anymore. Health and Father Time permitting, there is no apparent weakness here.

We've also learned by now ? haven't we? ? never to discount the Rays under Joe Maddon. Yes, even when they have to replace Crawford, Jason Bartlett, Carlos Pena and their entire bullpen. That's what they did last year, and still won 91 games ? amazing.

Well, there were no significant losses this off-season (although Jeff Niemann or Wade Davis could be dealt) ? only the return of Carlos Pena, plus the likely emergences of two more stars from their bountiful system in Matt Moore and Desmond Jennings. And as currently constructed, nobody's rotation is deeper.

If you're not aware of what general manager Alex Anthopoulos is doing in Toronto, it's time to play catch-up. In any other division, the Jays already may have been a playoff qualifier. This is their best shot in a long time, with squeaky-clean superstar Jose Bautista, emerging star Brett Lawrie and a handful of other up-trending position-player regulars in Yunel Escobar, Edwin Encarnacion, Colby Rasmus, J.P. Arencibia, Eric Thames and Travis Snider.

The back of the bullpen ? last year's Achilles' heel ? has been rebuilt with Francisco Cordero setting up Sergio Santos. So if one of their young starters emerges to join underrated Ricky Romero and Brandon Morrow, 90 wins aren't out of the realm of possibility.

Truth is, beyond the Yankees, it appears as if you can throw the other three teams in a hat, and injuries, breaks and breakout seasons will determine where they end up in October.

Free Spam Blockers ? Can I Get Anti-spam Software For Free?

Published by witter | February 16, 2012 | | 18

Spam is unsolicited bulk email. It?s usually the same email sent in mass mailings used to promote a service or product or to propagate a virus. Some spam is truly fraudulent. The folks sending the spam (known as spammers) use false contact info to line up their email accounts . The spammers then send out mass emails, creating false claims so as to solicit money from the recipients. The infamous Nigerian 419 scam is an example of fraudulent spam.

A lot of companies use spam as a selling tool. Not all industrial email is spam, since some recipients might have willingly chosen to receive promotional mailings. Still, a lot of firms do resort to spam, and use several totally different ways to urge away with this. Some rent a third to send out messages, that way they don?t have to accommodate complaints or different problems ensuing from the spam. Some ?spoof? their email address, that is a method that hides the important email address, covering it up with a pretend email address chosen by the spammer. Spammers are increasingly using virus-infected computers to send their spam for them. A recent study showed that 80% of spam was sent by these infected computers.

Not solely is spam an annoying issue to possess to accommodate, it?s also illegal in a very heap of cases. Nearly all net service providers have a suitable use policy in that sending spam is not allowed. If they catch a user sending spam, they will terminate the account and take legal action if necessary. In line with the Can-Spam Act of 2003, spam is allowed so long as the subject line is true and there?s no false information in the headers or sender address. If the e-mail will not meet this criteria, it is considered to be illegal spam.

The problem is that it?s nearly not possible for an email user to track down each spammer and prosecute them. And as long because the spammer meets the requirements of the Will-Spam Act, there is very nothing a spam victim can do. The simplest method to accommodate spam is to dam it from ever arriving in your inbox in the primary place. Several well-liked anti-virus programs offer spam-blocking tools that are quite effective at removing spam.
