Bs Physics at CDF and D0
Run II at the Tevatron has seen an explosion of results related to the Bs
meson, ranging from tests of QCD models, to probes of electro-weak symmetry
breaking, to direct searches for new physics effects. I will briefly summarize
the CDF and D0 Bs-physics programs, describing the suitability of the detectors
for doing this kind of physics, and pointing out how our knowledge of important
quantities has improved through Run II measurements.Comment: added Fermilab-Conf number, corrected two misquoted theoretical

Irreversibility time scale
Entropy creation rate is introduced for a system interacting with thermostats
({\it i.e.}, in the usual language, for a system subject to internal
conservative forces interacting with ``external'' thermostats via conservative
forces) and a fluctuation theorem for it is proved. As an application a time
scale is introduced, to be interpreted as the time over which irreversibility
becomes manifest in a process leading from an initial to a final stationary
state of a mechanical system in a general nonequilibrium context. The time
scale is evaluated in a few examples, including the classical Joule-Thompson
process (gas expansion in a vacuum).
The new version (n.2) contains several comments on references pointed out to

Small cities for a small country: Sustaining the cultural renaissance?
Copyright @ 2006 RoutledgeThis chapter explores the implications for smaller cities of adopting culture-led
regeneration strategies. It is suggested that there is a divergence between cultural
planning for long term sustainable urban cultural renaissance and culture-led
makeovers which rely on externally orientated projects devised to draw in new
visitors, residents and enterprises. Drawing on evidence from Sheffield, an industrial
city in South Yorkshire, northern England, it is suggested that small cities by thinking
big, have been seduced into entering a culture-led city competition in which the
stakes are high and the prospects of success limited
