DESCRIPTION:Erez Urbach's talk has been canceled.\n\nAbstract: String stars
 \, or Horowitz-Polchinski solutions\, are string theory saddles with norma
 lizable condensates of thermal-winding strings. In the past\, string stars
  were offered as a possible description of stringy (Euclidean) black holes
  in asymptotically flat spacetime\, close to the Hagedorn temperature. I w
 ill discuss the thermodynamic properties of string stars in asymptotically
  (thermal) anti-de Sitter background (including AdS3 with NS-NS flux)\, th
 eir possible connection to small black holes in AdS\, and their implicatio
 ns for holography. I will also present new ``winding-string gas'' saddles 
 for confining holographic backgrounds such as the Witten model\, and their
  relation to the deconfined phase of 3+1 pure Yang-Mills.
