Final Fantasy Tactics A2 Character |
An energetic boy with more than enough curiosity. Fearless, which gets him into trouble. A prankster, which also gets him in trouble. Never abandons someone in need.
- —Description
Luso Clemens is the main male protagonist of Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift, who also appears as an optional playable character in Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions. A young schoolboy who, one day while cleaning up the school library, finds the Grimoire of the Rift, and accidentally summons the past Ivalice.
While Luso is usually depicted with blue eyes, in his main concept art for Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions his eyes are brown. He has brown wavy hair he keeps in a ponytail and wears a red hat with a silver brooch. He wears yellow dungarees with a white-lined red vest under it, and has a four-leaf clover emblem on one of the shoulder straps. He has a blue belt with a black-and-red beetle motif, and a second belt where Luso hangs the Grimoire. A green shawl is wrapped around his waist. He has a blue gauntlet and a silver shield on his left arm, and a regular sleeve and a glove on his right arm. He has low-heeled boots. In Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions his appearance remains similar, although simpler. He has different shoes and no knee-guards, the green shawl is of simpler design and the bag he carries is different; although it appears he is still carrying a book.
Luso is energetic and adventurous. In school, this gets him into trouble; he is the class clown and gets sent to detention even on the last day of school. When he is pulled into Ivalice through the Grimoire, he's eager to explore and have fun. Initially he's in over his head, but he learns well from Cid's mentoring. He's quick to make friends and easily outraged by bullies and injustice. He's initially annoyed by Adelle, but soon thinks of her as a friend when she joins the clan (although they still bicker). With the numerous quests he fulfills, Luso is less easily surprised by Ivalice's magic and unusual characters.
Luso matures over the course of his adventure. Though he doesn't always get along with his aunt (who has raised him ever since his parents' deaths), Luso admits that most of the friction stems from her worry for him, and resolves to be a better nephew once he returns home. As eager as he is for adventure he wants to return to his own world eventually and thinks he will be able to face his troubles better when he does.
Luso fears ghosts and other undead creatures, and his quote in random encounters is different when the enemy formation is such.
Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the RiftEdit
There's only one way to end a story.
- —Luso
Luso Clemens is a student known for his mischievous streak. Just before the school's summer break Luso is sent by Mr. Blair to help Mr. Randell, the school's librarian, to clean the library as punishment. Mr. Randell is not in when he arrives, so he takes the opportunity to explore. Luso finds a mysterious book on the table with its pages empty, save for an inscription asking the reader to write the name of the one who would finish the book.
Luso writes down his name, and is warped to the world of Ivalice. Luso appears in front of a Crushatrice and its Cockatrice flock, but it Clan Gully, led by Cid, is at the scene. To help him, Cid urges Luso to join his clan, summoning a Judge to help with the process. Luso is made a Soldier, and helps Clan Gully defeat the Crushatrice.
During one of the quests he takes with the clan, Luso and Cid discover that he has with him a magick journal. Luso recalls the mysterious book that brought him to Ivalice, and they conclude a magician named Lezaford may know about the book. Luso takes a quest where he meets up with, and is joined by, the infamous Adelle the Cat. Adelle accompanies him in the quest after Cid is injured on a night-time stroll while trying to find information on Lezaford's whereabouts.
Adelle and Luso find Lezaford at the Aldanna Range, where the mage takes a closer look at Luso's journal and declares it to be a grimoire, a magickal tome with the power to return Luso to his world. Lezaford assures Luso he would only need to fill out the grimoire's pages by living out his life in Ivalice the best he can. Luso concludes the best way to do this is to take every possible mission available at the pub.
During a mission at Tramdine Fens, Luso is infected with a wayward spirit that begins to haunt his dreams. After defeating the Oversoul at the Nazan Mines, some of Luso's memories are available for the player to see. Adelle learns Luso's parents have died and he was raised by his aunt, a woman who often worried after Luso's tardiness.
Luso meets the Nightshade Illua at Zellea, the Forbidden Land, and defeats her and the Neukhia that spawn out of her grimoire. By doing this, his grimoire is completed, and he is allowed to return home. His friends gather at Targ Wood, the site of Luso's appearance in Ivalice, to see the Judge send him off in a column of light. Upon returning to the school library, Luso tells his story to Mr. Randell, who believes him (as Mr. Randell had previously been sent to Ivalice in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, though a different kind) and allows Luso to keep the grimoire. Luso continues to use the book as a journal, recording not his adventures in Ivalice, but those of his own world.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the LionsEdit
If it's dinner you're after...I'll feed you a length of iron!
- —Luso to the horde of Behemoths
After leaving the Orbonne Monastery in Chapter 3, Ramza encounters Luso being chased by Behemoths in Zeklaus Desert. Ramza, knowing Luso cannot defeat them on his own, helps Luso and together they defeat the Behemoths.
Luso explains he is a Game Hunter, and he is looking for his friends. Luso asks if he can join Ramza's party in the hopes of finding his friends, and Ramza gladly accepts.
Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the RiftEdit
Luso has access to all hume Jobs. His Speed growth is slow but he has high Attack.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the LionsEdit
- Main article: Game Hunter
Luso's Job class is Game Hunter, that specializes on hunting monsters. His job is essentially Ramza's special Squire with innate Poach ability; he comes with all of Ramza abilities, including the ones he learns at Chapter II and IV. He also can learn Ultima in the same way as Ramza in his Squire job.
He joins at level 25 with 55 Bravery, 48 Faith, and comes equipped with the Icebrand, Platinum Shield, Crystal Helm, Jujitsu Gi, and Elven Cloak.
When fought in the fourteen Rendezvous battle: Brave Story, he is level 99 and starts with 71 Bravery and 63 Faith. He is equipped with the Icebrand, Crystal Shield, Thief's Cap, Luminous Robe, and a random accessory. He comes with the Huntcraft command, as well as the abilities Reflexes, Tame, and a random movement ability.
Musical ThemesEdit
According to Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift, Luso's musical theme is "Luso". Parts of the song were used in "A Hymn for the Journey" (which is the song Hurdy played before Luso comes back to his home world), "A Sound that Connects the World", "Each Tale", and "Words Put Together".
Luso is voiced by Justin Cowden in Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions.
Other AppearancesEdit
Pictlogica Final FantasyEdit
Final Fantasy ArtniksEdit
Final Fantasy Trading Card GameEdit
Luso has multiple fire-elemental cards in the Final Fantasy Trading Card Game.
"Luso" is an adjective of Latin origin that describes the region of the Iberian Peninsula that corresponds to Portugal. Whether by design or coincidence, he wears the colors of Portuguese flag. "Clemens" is a Latin word meaning "kind, merciful, gentle".
- A voice in Luso's point of view could be heard at the Japanese trailer of Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift, though it is unknown who the voice is.
- On various occasions, Vaan refers to Luso as "Red Cap".
- In an early draft for Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift Luso was the last villager of a village, with the other villagers having gone away or died. They abandoned this plot in the sense that it was deemed too dark, but it may have been used for Adelle's backstory when she speaks to Lezaford the second time, as she alludes to a plague wiping out her village, with herself being the only survivor due to her being a Gifted One. Ironically, Luso's eventual plot point has been criticized as childish.
- Luso is afraid of ghosts, which he is teased for by Adelle in a mission. This is also brought up by random encounters with ghosts as predominant enemies. Instead of Luso saying the usual "Ack! We're under attack!", he would ask, "H-Hey, that wasn't a ghost, was it?".
- Luso's Zodiac sign is Cancer, first seen in Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions.
- Much like the other cameo characters (Cloud and Balthier), Luso's age is not displayed when the player sees his profile.
- Luso's large rounded sword at the artwork had appeared in the Bishop's ability "Judge", while Marche and Cid also has the same large rounded sword at his artwork. This may imply that Luso's artwork sword is indeed the Judge Sword. Regardless, the player cannot obtain it for personal use. The sword looks largely identical to the weapon held by Rue, the protagonist in Threads of Fate, another Square title.

I'm a newb when it comes to stuff like this but I'm trying to set up a system with the yamaha 5.1 speaker set up that was on sale like 2 days ago. would this be a good receiver to pair with it? What makes this better then the Yamaha RX-V373? (sorry like I said I'm a newb). the v373 was on sale for 180 but i missed it...
Yamaha RX-V473 and RX-V573 A/V Receivers reviews: http://www.hometheater
BTY: The 2013 models are out: The new RX-V Series models will be available at the following dates: RX-V775WA will be available in April (MSRP: $849.95) RX-V675 will be available in March (MSRP: $649.95) RX-V575 will be available in March (MSRP: $549.95) RX-V475 will be available in March (MSRP: $449.95) RX-V375 will be available in February (MSRP: $299.95) http://www.hometheater The main thing I see that has been added is the network models add Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL®), which enables full HD video and audio playback from MHL-compatible mobile phones and portable devices.

Thanks Op. Nice find. This is lowest price for this model I've ever seen.
How to connect it to home Wifi (not wired), can someone please suggest a compatible inexpensive and tested device/solution? I guess we need to connect it to home network to use AirPlay and DLNA but I don't have a wired network connection at the spot where I want to place it. |
IMO, $70 more for Network features is a good upgrade. Also, V473 is the number one A/V receiver on amazon. |
You can't beat pioneer on features, but IMO Yamaha is supposed to be better on reliability and sound quality. Also 1022 is 7.1 channel compared to 5.1 for 473 |

So... I guess we have to come clean about the simply astonishing work of Dr Brian Cocks and his coveted Scotch Eggs.
We're sorry to say that the reason this particular quackery was hitherto unknown—indeed hitherto unimagined—may have something to do with the fact it was announced on April Fools' Day.
Sadly, science has yet to catch up with such momentous flights of fancy, and as Dickie Dawkins never actually said, it may in fact be a "cruel misuse of hens". (Besides which, the SWA would never allow it…)
Apologies for the disappointment.
"And the truth shall set you free!"

Active Comparator: 2
Drug: bovine thrombin
1000 U/mL applied topically in combination with absorbable gelatin sponge
Other Name: Thrombin-JMI
Detailed Description:
This is a Phase 3 multiple site, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial designed to evaluate the comparative efficacy and safety of rhThrombin and bovine thrombin in patients undergoing spinal surgery, hepatic resection, peripheral arterial bypass surgery, or arteriovenous graft formation for hemodialysis access.
After establishing eligibility, subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive rhThrombin (1000 U/mL) or bovine thrombin (1000 U/mL). During a surgical procedure, study participants will be treated with blinded study drug (rhThrombin or bovine thrombin) in combination with an absorbable gelatin sponge at appropriate bleeding evaluation site(s) and time to hemostasis (TTH) will be assessed for up to 10 minutes. Bleeding appropriate for TTH evaluation is defined as mild to moderate bleeding, either on its own or remaining after brisk bleeding has been controlled by standard surgical modalities. Blinded study drug may also be used at additional appropriate bleeding sites. Study participants will have follow-up visits at about 2 days and 1 month after surgery. Approximately 400 to 600 patients will participate in the study. The final sample size will be determined based on blinded interim results.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |

The noises, faint, fleeting, whispered into her consciousness like wraiths passing in the night.
Twelve-year-old Erin Willit opened her eyes to darkness lit only by the dim green nightlight near her closet door and the faint glow of a street lamp through her front window. She felt her forehead wrinkle, the fingers of one hand curl as she tried to discern what had awakened her.
Something was not right . . .
Annie Kingston moves to Grove Landing for safety and quiet—and comes face to face with evil.
When neighbor Lisa Willet is killed by an intruder in her home, Sheriff's detectives are left with little evidence. Lisa's daughter, Erin, saw the killer, but she's too traumatized to give a description. The detectives grow desperate.
Because of her background in art, Annie is asked to question Erin and draw a composite. But Annie knows little about forensic art or the sensitive interview process. A nonbeliever, she finds herself begging God for help. What if her lack of experience leads Erin astray? The detectives could end up searching for a face that doesn't exist.
Leaving the real killer free to stalk the neighborhood . . .

COLUMBIA — Johnny Johnson loved making treasure hunts for his children. After they started hiding his cigarettes to get him to stop smoking, Mr. Johnson started setting up his own treasure hunts for his them.
"He was a jokester and very comical," his daughter Kimberly Kelley said.
Johnny B. Johnson of Columbia died Sunday, Aug. 3, 2014, at Boone Hospital. He was 66.
He was born Oct. 7, 1948, in Ripley, Miss., to Charlie and Minnie Johnson.
Mr. Johnson moved to Columbia when he was 8 years old and eventually raised his own family in the community.
Every year, Mr. Johnson would take his children to the Boone County Fair. He loved spending that time with his family by walking around the fair, going on rides and eating corn dogs, Kelley said.
After working for MU Campus Facilities for 35 years, Mr. Johnson was happy to retire because he had more time to travel to visit family in his hometown in Mississippi.
Mr. Johnson was a family man who loved family activities such as barbecues with the grandchildren, his older daughter Sarah Tabe said.
Aside from his regular treasure hunts, Mr. Johnson also loved deer hunting and fishing, his son, John Johnson Jr., said.
"The first time he took me hunting, he told me that I had two shots to get a rabbit," John Johnson Jr. said, laughing gently. "I missed and I had to watch the rest of the day."
Both Kelley and Tabe said their favorite memory of their father was when he walked each of them down the aisle.
"It was important because I shared the moment with my father," Kelley said.
Mr. Johnson is survived by a son, John Johnson, of Columbia; two daughters, Sarah Tabe and Kimberly Kelley, and her husband, Vonzell, all three of Kansas City; a brother, Fred Johnson, and his wife, Sarah Miller, of Columbia; a sister-in-law, Allean Johnson, of Columbia; eleven grandchildren, Anastacia Carter, Kimberly Tabe, DeOntay Counce, JonDale Johnson, Marquail Johnson, Zana Churchill Johnson, RaZhon Churchill Johnson, DaJha Kelley, Vonzell Kelley III, Shayquila Heath and Arious Heath; two great-grandchildren, Charles Carter III and Amauri Coleman; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
Two brothers, Frankie Johnson and Earl Johnson; three sisters, Joann Ndivo, Dorothy Johnson and Pearlie Warren; and a nephew, Earnest James Warren Jr., died earlier.
Visitation will be at 9 a.m. Saturday at Memorial Funeral Home, 1217 Business Loop 70 W. Service will follow at 11 a.m. at the same location. Burial will follow at Memorial Park Cemetery.

Starship Troopers Really Hates Bugs... And Child Abuse
Johnny Rico himself wants to stamp out child abuse, and while we applaud him for his honest effort, but it's a bit strange to see Casper Van Dien doing anything apart from killing bugs.
Starship Troopers 3: Because Johnny Rico Should Live Forever
Returning roughneck Casper Van Dien (THE Johnny Rico) introduced new cast member Jolene Blalock (Lola Beck) and some new clips from the direct-to-DVD Starship Troopers 3 Marauder at New York Comic-Con. After watching all four clips I can safely say that Starship Troopers is back. Get ready for more obviously biased…

Nik is a very friendly person, quick to laugh and always a smile on his face. That is not to say he does not have his quirks. It does sadden him when he reflects on the knowedge that he came from a once proud family that is now in ruins due to accusations against his father that caused them to be stripped of their lands and their honor. | With the loss of their lands his family escaped into the wilderness, with not much more than the clothes on their backs. It was a hard life, though since it was the life that Nikoli grew up to he barely remembered the life of ease that he knew as the son of a nobleman. His father seemed to adapt to the change much better than his mother did. She was use to a life that she had grown accustomed to and was very bitter about the change that left her stuck ecking out a living in the woods. His father put a much braver face upon it and raised his son to adapt as well and learn how to survive on his own and perhaps one day help redeem his family name. At the age of twenty-three the confines of his home, left him constricted he had a need to range further afield and find out what fate had in store for him. He left his mother and father, both saddened by his need to leave but understanding that he needed to find himself and he never would stuck in one place. Before he left his father gave him their ancestral signet ring, telling him that perhaps it would help him in some way, that perhaps the church would even remember that his family stood with them during the last war. He spent the next four years traveling to all four corners of the land, spending a short time working for the Grand Duke of Drevnedub as a scout for his war with the duchy of Ledoslavl. It was while he was scouting for them that he saw his ancestral home of Verhnovo for the first time since we was a young child and they were exiled. After he was working for them for a year he was sent on a scouting mission and was given orders from his superiors that he felt was morally repugnant, though he followed the orders he felt dirty afterwards and requested to be released from their service and once they released him, he moved on and took odd jobs as a tracker and guide. Doing only jobs that he felt compelled to do. It was during one of these jobs that he was gifted with a Snow Leopard cub in payment for his work since they had not other means to pay him. That was two years ago, now the cub, who he named Shadow was his closest companion who ranged the lands with him, always at his back to keep him safe. |

A 28-year-old Cottage Grove man was in custody Saturday after a four-hour standoff overnight with police at his house with a 2-year-old child inside.
The girl was physically unharmed after the ordeal and was returned to her mother, according to Capt. Pete Koerner of the Cottage Grove Police Department.
Cottage Grove police were sent to a house in the 7400 block of 96th Street about 11:40 p.m. Friday after gunshots were reported. Police heard another gunshot when they arrived and spotted a man who lived at the home at the back of the house.
When confronted by police, Koerner said, the man went inside. After police made contact with other people inside the house, two women carrying an infant came out. The man refused to come out, and police were told the 2-year-old girl was still inside. They surrounded the house and tried to contact the man, Koerner said.
The Washington County Special Response Team, made up of officers from the county and more than half a dozen cities, was called to the scene. After an arrest warrant was obtained, officers entered the home around 3:45 a.m. Saturday. The suspect was taken into custody and booked into the Washington County jail in Stillwater pending formal charges.
The girl was found safe.

I'm building a computer for a former coworker. I'm putting an A6-5400K on a A85 board. She will be having the computer plugged into the monitor on her desk all the time, but I told her she could use her TV always. I want to know of a simplistic way of switching from the DVI out to HDMI out without having issues. Sort of like laptops with their projector settings using the Fn+F(1-9) keys. I want to know if there is an easy way to do this or a batch file I can create that will automatically switch the display from DVI to HDMI and have little to no issues.

Toe rail: Replace existing mahogany, or go with aluminum?

Rep Power:
If your toerail is already through bolted along its entire length and the fasteners are as easy to get to as you say, I would go with the aluminum. Getting wood to curve is not easy and the cost of knot free clear teak or mahogany might be as high as the metal (I have only purchased small amounts of teak, but have been startled by the cost). I have had to bend wood for smaller projects, it always seems harder than it looks. You will have trouble getting wood the length of your boat, so scarf joints will be needed, which makes the bending even harder.
Your maintentence concerns are real. The hardest thing to maintain on my 30 ft boat is the toerails. Remember they meet the deck on both sides of the rail, a total of 120 linear feet of wood to glass contact. This makes finishing, taping, cleaning etc an hours long chore on your hands and knees. The toe rails get the most abuse of any wood part of the boat, and therefore need the most attention. I would trade the look of wood for low maintenence metal any day.
Hopfully someone with more experience with alumninum rail instalilation will chime in, I will follow with interest.

Please replace the release with the following corrected version due to multiple revisions.
Ameresco, Inc. (NYSE:AMRC) has worked with the Mass State Department of Energy Resources (DOER) to sign power purchase agreements to design, construct, finance, own, and operate solar power systems on five state facilities. Pictured is Worcester State University, one of the five locations where Ameresco will build rooftop solar installations with advanced Internet-enabled measurement and monitoring systems. (Photo: Business Wire)
The corrected release reads:
Power Purchase Agreements Signed with Five State Facilities
Ameresco, Inc. (NYSE:AMRC), a leading comprehensive energy efficiency and renewable energy company, announced today that the Company has worked with the Massachusetts State Department of Energy Resources (DOER) to sign agreements to design, construct, finance, own, and operate solar power systems on five state facilities.
Under 20-year Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with Ameresco, the state facilities will receive solar-generated electricity at a discount to their current electricity bills, thereby cutting their energy budgets. In part, the discounted prices were made possible by the Massachusetts Solar Stimulus Program (MaSS), which used ARRA stimulus funds to reduce the capital cost of the projects.
The five solar power systems will generate 560 kW of electricity capacity and 700,000 kWh of annual electric energy. The solar systems will be installed on the rooftops of two Massport Logan Airport terminals, Bridgewater State University, Worcester State University and the Canton Housing Authority. All the solar installations will be built with advanced Internet-enabled measurement and monitoring systems – enabling Ameresco to keep the systems producing reliable power.
"I applaud Ameresco, one of the nation's leading energy services companies, for its role in bringing clean, renewable solar power to state agencies," said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Ian Bowles. "Federal stimulus funds are helping our agencies to lead by example, installing a total of 4 megawatts of solar capacity on more than 20 facilities and contributing to the growth of the clean energy economy in Massachusetts."
"As a Massachusetts-based company, we are thrilled to be partnering with the Department of Energy Resources to help bring clean, renewable, solar energy to state owned facilities across the Commonwealth," said George Sakellaris, President and CEO of Ameresco. "In addition, we support green job growth in the Commonwealth as Ameresco utilizes local Massachusetts engineers, electricians, and other trades people to design and build the systems."
To further boost Massachusetts employment, the inverters – which convert the solar generated direct current electricity to alternating current electricity – will be made by Solectria in Lawrence, MA. All other major components, including the Sharp solar panels are made in the U.S.A.
About Ameresco, Inc.
Ameresco, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in April 2000 and is a leading independent provider of comprehensive energy efficiency solutions for facilities throughout North America. Ameresco's solutions include upgrades to a facility's energy infrastructure, and the development, construction, and operation of renewable energy plants. With corporate headquarters located in Framingham, MA, Ameresco has 55 offices in 29 states and four Canadian provinces. For more information, visit www.ameresco.com.
About the Department of Energy Resources MaSS Program
The MaSS program developed by DOER is focused on rapidly deploying large PV systems to create jobs quickly; fostering expansion of the Massachusetts PV industry; reducing the long-term operating costs of the facilities; obtaining extremely competitive pricing and streamlining the purchase process via volume procurements; and providing maximum transparency and accountability.

The main body of the device (wooden) is 44mm by 68mm. The trench (and therefore uber-crazy electrical dimensions OP was so fond of) as being 35-38mm by 28mm. Oh, and the wires need to be about 17mm apart (assuming you keep the 5mm gap that OP used).
This is based on the given diameter of a AA battery being 15mm.
These measurements are approximate to a fairly significant degree- take them with a grain of salt and be willing to alter the final form.

The best thing about using this vaporizer or any other is that the device is very efficient in the extraction of active herbal ingredients vs. just burning the herbs.

(Sorry for the inconvenience)
Bienvenue sur PC-BSD®!
PC-BSD®[1] began in 2005 when Kris Moore presented the first beta version of a FreeBSD[2] operating system pre-configured for desktop use. Since then, PC-BSD® has matured into a polished, feature-rich, free-of-charge, open source operating system that meets the desktop needs of the beginner to the advanced user alike.
PC-BSD® is essentially a customized installation of FreeBSD, not a forked derivative. Since the underlying FreeBSD system has been kept intact, you have a fully functional FreeBSD system under the hood. PC-BSD® provides a graphical installer which can be used to easily install a desktop or a server version of FreeBSD known as TrueOS®. Other differences include:
- PC-BSD® pré-configure au moins un environnement de bureau lors de l'installation
- The PC-BSD® graphical installer supports additional features such as configuring ZFS during installation.
- PC-BSD® provides a graphical software management system for the desktop and a command line equivalent for the server.
- PC-BSD® offre un Panneau de Contrôle graphique des utilitaires pour configurer le système The graphical versions of these utilities are available on the desktop and the command line versions are available on both the desktop and server.
- PC-BSD® est livré pré-configuré avec un certain nombre de scripts automatiques pour effectuer des tâches telles que le raccordement de l'appareil photo numérique ou une carte mémoire flash USB
PC-BSD® started off as an independent project, but since October, 2006 PC-BSD® is financially backed and supported by the enterprise-class hardware solutions provider iXsystems[3].

Breathing solitons in nematic liquid crystals
Optics Express, Vol. 17, Issue 14, pp. 11698-11709 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1158 KB)
Dynamical and steady-state behavior of beams propagating in nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) is analyzed. A well-known model for the beam propagation and the director reorientation angle in a NLC cell is treated numerically in space and time. The formation of steady-state soliton breathers in a threshold region of beam intensities is displayed. Below the region the beams diffract, above the region spatiotemporal instabilities develop, as the input intensity and the material parameters are varied. Curiously, the only kind of solitons we could demonstrate in our numerical studies was the breathers. Despite repeated efforts, we could not find the solitons with a steady profile propagating in the NLC model at hand.

14 Dogs Waiting for You to Come Home (Patiently or Panicking)
Some dogs wait patiently for their owners to come home. They sit by the window, just waiting. And then when you get home, they wag their tails and pee in excitement. Or maybe that peeing in excitement was just the miniature dachshund I used to have.
Other dogs, they just miss you so much. They miss you like crazy. I mean, really crazy. Like, panic-and-destroy-your-house crazy. Let's take a look at the difference, with the 14 dogs below.

Bizarro fantasy world
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network)
- Apparently, I live in two worlds simultaneously. There is the real world where Rafael Nadal keeps winning French Open tennis titles, the New York Yankees still have the highest payroll in baseball and politicians continue to look out only for themselves and their major contributors.
And then there is the bizarro 2012 Major League Baseball fantasy world where player performances have been turned completely upside down.
How else do you explain the poor production out of top pitchers like Tim Lincecum and Josh Johnson in the National League and Jon Lester, Jonathan Sanchez and Francisco Liriano in the American League. None has a TSN SSRD360 value below 4.746 (the SSRD360 starting pitcher evaluator measures a pitcher's performance based on four factors - wins, ERA, WHIP, and strikeouts).
At the same time, Chris Sale, R.A. Dickey, Lance Lynn, James McDonald and Scott Diamond are top-10 starters in their leagues with SSRD360 values of 3.100 or less.
Let's look at these 10 starting pitchers to see if they will continue to surprise or disappoint fantasy owners over the next four months:
Tim Lincecum, San Francisco -
What do you do with the two-time NL Cy Young award winner? As the fifth pitcher off the board in April, he cost you a third-round selection (Yahoo ADP 28), but is giving you almost nothing to show for it. A 2-7 record with a 6.00 ERA and 1.58 WHIP is certainly not what you were looking for when you picked him at the draft. His location is poor (39 walks) and his fastball has lost a couple of miles per hour. If you own him, you can't get anywhere near full value in a trade. But if you have an open spot on your roster, you could "buy low" and stash him in case he finds the answer. I don't think he will, but the cost should be minimal and the upside astronomical.
Josh Johnson, Miami -
Johnson has "ace" stuff and since 2009 has never had an ERA above 3.23 or a WHIP above 1.158. In 2012, however, those numbers have ballooned to 4.56 and 1.493, respectively. If you dig deeper than his year-long statistics, you will find that he's been significantly improved after a horrible April in which he was 0-3 with a high ERA and WHIP. In his last six outings, he's given up three earned runs or less. I believe he's going to return to his fantasy stud status in the second half of the season.
Jon Lester, Boston -
So much talent, too little production. His won/loss record could be excused because of all the injuries to the Red Sox offense, but that doesn't explain a 4.57 ERA, a 1.364 WHIP and his lowest strikeout ratio since 2008. Historically, June is Lester's best month. He owns a career-best 15-4 record with a 2.59 ERA and 1.121 WHIP. If he's on your roster, continue to start him for the next 30 days, and if he doesn't improve, send him packing.
Jonathan Sanchez, Kansas City -
For the past three seasons with the San Francisco Giants, Sanchez had been a low-end fantasy value who produced a high strikeout total and average ERA, but at the cost of a high WHIP and mediocre won/loss total. In 2012, in his first year with the Royals, he's doing nothing good. Then he hurt his biceps. Although he's almost ready to return to the majors after a rehab assignment, there is no reason that Sanchez should be on an active fantasy roster.
Francisco Liriano, Minnesota -
This season is by far the worst of Liriano's career. If only we could turn the clock back to 2006 (12-3, 2.16 ERA, 1.000 WHIP) or even 2010 (14-10, 3.62 ERA, 1.263 WHIP). Although he's pitched well in two of three starts since rejoining the rotation, he's simply too inconsistent to be relied upon. Offer him in a trade to an unsuspecting owner or simply release him.
Chris Sale, Chicago White Sox -
The White Sox tried to make him a setup man and closer for his first two seasons in the majors and while he performed adequately in the roles, nothing said he'd be an ace if he was put into the starting rotation. That's exactly what he is with an 8-2 record, league-leading 2.05 ERA and 0.924 WHIP. Sale has been spectacular over his past five starts, yielding two runs or less in each outing with a 0.98 ERA and 43 strikeouts in 36 2/3 innings. He currently owns the best SSRD360 value in baseball (2.531). The only problem we see is that Sale has never pitched this many innings as a professional and will likely tire. Even in college, he never pitched more than 90 innings. He's already thrown 74 2/3 innings this season and is an excellent "sell high" candidate.
R.A. Dickey, New York Mets -
After floundering around for nine years with Texas, Seattle, Minnesota and the Mets, Dickey has become a star in 2012, going 9-1 with a 2.44 ERA and 1.037 WHIP. He actually began to show signs of life when he came to New York in 2010, but until this season it hadn't translated into wins and across-the-board production. He's a knuckleballer who unlike Tim Wakefield has a respectable fastball to keep hitters off balance. He reminds me of a young Tom Candiotti. He may not keep up this pace, but he's a keeper.
Lance Lynn, St. Louis -
With Chris Carpenter injured and Adam Wainwright still a question mark, the Cardinals turned to Lynn this April and he responded by being the best pitcher in baseball that month, going 4-0 with a 1.33 ERA and 0.815 WHIP. He's 5-2 since, but with a 3.42 ERA and a climbing 1.322 WHIP. It's time to sell, you got the best out of him. Let someone else deal with his normalizing statistics.
James McDonald, Pittsburgh -
Since coming to Pittsburgh in 2010, he's been used exclusively as a starter, but nothing I saw over the last two seasons prepared any of us for what McDonald has produced in 2012. He's apparently gone from thrower to pitcher. His walk numbers have dropped significantly (2.6/per nine innings pitched) as has his ERA (2.39) and WHIP (0.996). McDonald has always had good stuff, but this season he is throwing his straight fastball less and relying on his sinker and slider combination a lot more. The results are better control and more missed bats. We think this performance level will continue and if you are in the 25 percent of all Yahoo leagues in which he is a free agent, you should find a roster spot for the 27-year-old right-hander.
Scott Diamond, Minnesota -
Who? Yes, it's likely that not many fantasy owners are familiar with Diamond. He pitches in a small media market and despite a 5-1 record with a 1.61 ERA and 1.19 WHIP and SSRD360 value of 3.128 is not owned in 70 percent of all Yahoo fantasy leagues. What's most exciting is his control - 28 strikeouts to just four walks. He's yet to give up more than three earned runs in a game and in four of seven starts didn't give up a run. A Rule 5 draftee from Canada who started the season in Triple-A, he's been the Twins' best starter. Beware, however, that he didn't pitch anything like this in 2011, going 1-5 with the Twins and 4-14 with Rochester of the International League with a high ERA and high WHIP. This is likely a mirage.

Mercedes-Benz Dealer Championships
Get in the game. Give back to the community.
Giving you the chance to compete on a local, regional and even a national level while helping a variety of worthy causes, the Mercedes-Benz Dealer Championships have raised nearly $19 million for U.S. charities since 1993.
It all starts with an invitation from your dealer to compete locally. The winning two-person team from each dealer event goes on to play in the Eastern and Western sectionals. From there, the top three teams from each sectional advance to the National final.
The rewards extend beyond the competition, the camaraderie and the trophies. For starters, every participant has the opportunity to win a new Mercedes-Benz at the local and sectional events in our Hole-in-One challenge. But most important, they get the chance to be a champion — not only on the course, but for a cause.
