text: Presented by Aska Eden Iris Phoebe Rachel Caryl Churchill source source source source *Born in London on September 3, 1938. *She grew up in England and Canada. *Churchill's writing focuses on issues of class and economics and their effect on women. • In 1960, she received a BA in English from Oxford University.She wrote three plays: Downstairs, You've No Need to be Frightened, and Having a Wonderful Time. • After graduation, she began to write radio plays for the BBC. Including The Ants (1962), Not, Not, Not, Not Enough Oxygen (1971), and Schreber's Nervous Illness (1972). • Her first professionally produced play was Owners (1972) at the Royal Court Theatre in London. source • Churchill has written plays in extended workshop processes with the directors and actors of two British theater groups: Monstrous Regiment and Joint Stock. While working with Joint Stock and Monstrous Regiment, Churchill wrote a number of successful plays including Light Shining on Buckinghamshire (1976), Vinegar Tom (1976), Cloud Nine (1979), and A Mouthful of Birds (1986). • Churchill's association with Joint Stock resulted in her most famous play, Cloud 9 (1979), about the relationship of colonialism and gender oppression. source • Churchill's remarkable career continues to develop, her plays seem to be growing more and more sparse and less and less inhibited by realism. In The Skriker (1994), she utilizes an associative dream logic which some critics found to be nonsensical. • Churchill married David Harter in 1961 and has three sons. Her awards include three Obie Award (1982, 1983 & 1988) and a Society of West End Theatre Award (1988).

Betty from Africa returns and embraces the new Betty. • On September 23rd through the 26th 1999, Clemson University's Theatre Department performed Caryl Churchill's play Cloud 9 at Clemson's Brooks Theatre. Costume Designers for Cloud 9 The costumes let the audience be transported back into the time period of the play and to get a better understanding of the dress of that time. In the first act, the setting is Africa in 1879 • In this time period, the dress was traditionally Victorian which can consist of hoop skirts, tight bodices, knee high socks, and riding outfits. So this part is difficult. Many pieces of costumes had to be made by hand. In the second act, the setting is London in 1979. • This would be standard contemporary dress. So dressing the actors was a little easier. Cross-dressing • In the play, there are men playing women and vise versa. The director wanted the audience to recognize the actors by their face, not by the type of costume they wore when they were the previous character. Costumes of Characters in Act 1 The director wanted Act 1 costumes to be bright because of the mood. Clive Betty Edward Harry Bagley Mrs. Saunders Joshua Costumes of Characters in Act 2 • In Act 2, the colors of the costumes would be muted because the mood of this act was more somber than Act 1. Betty Edward Victoria Lin Cathy Gerry Martin Interesting Information • The hardest costumes were Lin and Gerry in Act 2 (She did not want them to look like the stereotypical homosexual) • Women shoes that fit men sizes are very hard to find • Casts (in general) usually do not like the costumes (The cast for Cloud 9 has been really great in accepting the costumes.) Themes • • • • • Colonial Oppression Sexual Oppression Violence Sex and Gender The Quest for Identity The Sets on the Stage • Act I takes place in Africa, roughly during the 1870's, the British Victorian era. During this time period, British colonialism was still in full swing. • Act II takes place in London around 1979. By this time period, British colonialism had all but completely deflated, but other forms of repression remained. Homosexuals, though far from completely welcome, had established a presence in the cultural landscape of British society. Divorce had become acceptable, and women had gained new freedoms and greater status. Colonial Oppression • CLIVE had those Stable boys flogged. • CLIVE: It's my duty to have them flogged…, to keep you safe. • CLIVE: You can tame a wild animal only so far. .. Sometimes I feel the natives are the enemy. … Implacable. This whole continent is my enemy. I am pitching my whole mind and will and reason and spirit against it to tame it,…. (p. 33) • *CLIVE made JOSHUA flog those stable boys, and he thought it's necessary to do so. Colonial Oppression • The British Soldiers oppressed the African natives • CLIVE: ... Harry, there was trouble last night…. But it's all over now. Everything is under control…. • CLIVE: … We did a certain amount of damage, set a village on fire and so forth. • CLIVE: … The army will come and visit, …. to see the British army?… (p. 37) Colonial Oppression • The British Soldiers killed JOSHUA's parents. • MRS SAUNDERS: …. I've just found Joshua putting earth on his head. He tells me his parents were killed last night by the British soldiers. I think you owe him an apology on behalf of the Queen. (p. 41) *Then JOSHUA shot CLIVE at HARRY's and ELLEN's wedding. Sexual Oppression • CLIVE forbad EDWARD playing with a doll. • CLIVE: What's that you're holding? • BETTY: It's Victoria's doll. … • BETTY: …You don't want papa to see you with a doll. • CLIVE: Ellen minds Victoria, let Ellen mind the doll… ELLEN takes the doll. (p. 8) Sexual Oppression • CLIVE felt disgusted at HARRY for he's a gay. • • • • CLIVE: My God, Harry, how disgusting. … HARRY: It is not a sin, it is a disease. … CLIVE: …My God, what a betrayal of the Queen. HARRY: Clive, I am like a man born crippled. … (pp 40-41) • *CLIVE enforced HARRY to get married. Sexual Oppression • ELLEN's inner oppression. • ELLEN: Betty, what happens with a man?…. • BETTY: ELLEN, you're not getting married to enjoy yourself. • ELLEN: Don't' forget me, Betty. (p. 44) * ELLEN will be oppressed in her life after she's married because she actually loved a woman, Betty, not men. Violence • BETTY and ELLEN slapped EDWARD. EDWARD, meanwhile, has found the doll and is playing clap hands with her. • BETTY: Edward, what have you got there?… • BETTY: Edward, I've told you before, dolls are for girls. • BETTY: You must never let the boys at school know you like dolls. Never, never. ... (p. 30) (continue…) Violence • BETTY: … you won't grow up to be a man like your papa. • BETTY: …. and papa will beat you. … • BETTY takes the doll away, slaps him, bursts into tears. ELLEN comes in. …. She slaps EDWARD, who bursts into tears and goes out. (pp 30-31) • *BETTY and ELLEN slapped EDWARD because he held the doll again. EDWARD didn't want to be a man like his father. • *CLIVE himself was not actively violent, perhaps suggesting the hypocrisy of his oppression. • *He kept his hands clean by allowing others to actually carry out his wishes with violence. Violence • LIN's and CATHY's conversation always filled with violence. • CATHY: What is it? Who' skilled? What?…… • CATHY: Can I have his gun? … • CATHY: Fuck off. … LIN hits CATHY, CATHY cries. • LIN: And shut up or I'll give you something to cry for. … They are all shouting. … Then they laugh and embrace. (pp 67-68) Violence and Sexual Oppression • The violence of Act I (as CLIVE, BETTY and ELLEN did to EDWARD) reappeared in the assault on CATHY by the Dead Hand Gang. • CATHY comes on howling with a nosebleed. … • CATHY: Took my ice cream. • CATHY: Took my money. • CATHY: They hit me. I can't play. They said I'm a girl. (p. 84) Sex and Gender • The play gets inspired from the life stories and personal sexual experiences of the theater members • The great challenge of life is learning to reconcile one's upbringing and one's physical identity with one's true sexuality. • cross-casting makes gender visible by separating feminine gender from the female body, ex: Betty played by a man • cross-casting also illuminates the role of socialization in the formation of gender identity, ex: young Edward trying to escape from traditional role expectations • the only cross-casting of Cathy in act two involves in the issue of what is considered correct behavior for a girl, in association with Edward in Act One • characters not played by opposite-sex actors have nontraditional sexual orientations ex: Harry's sexual relationship with little Edward. The Quest for Identity • • • • Characters' self introduction in the beginning Characters in act one not able to act out their true feelings game of hide and seek allows them to reveal themselves Clive's value system calls for a covering of identity if that identity disrespects England • Betty, Edward, and Victoria in act two continue the search for identity • they face new challenges of establishing an identity in a world far different from Victorian era Africa Motifs • Embracing • Seasons Embracing • the act of embracing repeatedly as a physical means of demonstrating love or the lack of love, ex: Ellen embraces Betty as she expresses her love for her. • Clive and Betty never embrace, suggesting the superficiality of their relationship • the two Bettys embrace at the end, showing Betty has finally grown to love herself Seasons • seasonal changes parallel the self journey • act two opens in winter, the sexuality of the characters are cold and dead in many ways • when spring arrives in act two, scene two, people begin to come out of sexual hibernation, ex: Gerry and Edward break off their relationship, Victoria and Martin argue about the their marriage • with summer comes sexual liberation, Lin, Victoria, and Edward hold an orgy in the park, and Betty rediscovers masturbation. Symbols • Betty's Necklace • Guns • Dolls Betty's Necklace • In Act I, the necklace represents Edward's secret defiance of his family in seeking Harry's love • In Act II, the necklace symbolizes Betty's connection with the past Guns • first used as an indication of the violence of Clive's world • Ironically, the system that Clive sets up eventually brings about his death at the end of Act One. • symbol of power in Act Two: Lin arms Cathy with toy guns to give Cathy status that Lin never had as a little girl. Dolls • a symbol of submissive femininity in Act One • Victoria in Act One who's played by a doll/dummy implies Clive's idea of how women should be. • Edward's playing with the doll foreshadows his playing a submissive role in a homosexual relationship • Joshua's act of cutting the doll suggests his betrayal against Clive Betty : "But if there isn't a right way to do things you have to invent one." Study Questions • Discuss Churchill's choice to have actors play characters opposite their own sex. What are the theatrical and thematic implications of this choice? • How do the characters change from act one to act two? What cause them to change? • Discuss Betty's rediscovery of masturbation. How does this relate to her search for identity? Works Cited • Caryl Churchill. Cloud 9 Study Guide. 24 May 2006 <http://www.sparknotes.com/drama/cloudnine/themes.html>. • Caryl Churchill.

I decided that I'd better put some kind of profile in here since lots of nice new folks are joining my C2 Community. I guess I should tell a little about myself for them, at least! I live in Western Pennsylvania, USA, near Pittsburgh. I'm a proud mother of two grown girls and grandmother of one cute little girl. I have a degree in Music Education from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh--major instrument-voice.
I am a two-time visitor to the set of Stargate Atlantis. I went with windwalker (She's the one on Joe's left in the picture. I'm the little one snuggled in on Joe's right...) during season 2 (The Lost Boys) and we had a blast! I went back in July, 2007, to visit again (Quarantine). It was great place to visit--everyone was very friendly and easy to talk to. They made guests feel like part of the family for a day! So, altogether in the two visits, I got to meet Joe Flanigan (both times!), David Hewlett, Rainbow Sun Franks, Jason Momoa, Rachel Luttrell, Amanda Tapping, Kavan Smith, David Nykl, Chuck Campbell, Martin Gero, N. John Smith, and the one and only Martin Wood, who was directing Quarantine.
Also, in case you haven't guessed based on my one and only C2 community...I love whumping fics! Maybe it's a character flaw...maybe not...all I know is that I live for whumpage--in particular, Sheppard whumpage! Any way, there's my VERY brief profile. Maybe I'll add to it later...
Oh, and my nickname, highonscifi, came to me the night I watched Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars. I was totally blown away by that movie as I thought it was a fitting end to a great show. I also thought that highonscifi was very appropriate for me since I have been addicted to science fiction since i was about 6 years old (and I'm 54 now!). I used to go to the library in the summer and take out every science fiction book they had! I loved reading Heinlein, Clarke, Asimov, and many, many more of the great scifi writers. And I still enjoy reading stories from the scifi authors of today such as Orson Scott Card--if you've never read his Ender Series, you should!!

The property website Rightmove certainly seems to be making all the right noises as far as the City is concerned. Yesterday came news that the total number of estate agency offices advertising properties on Rightmove.co.uk had soared by more than 1,000 since the start of the year.
Membership of the site now exceeds 9,700 offices with more than 680,000 properties advertised for sale and rent at any one time. This represents 70 per cent of all estate agency offices in the UK, up from 62 per cent at the start of 2006. Rightmove makes money by allowing them to advertise on its site in return for a monthly feel.
It also hopes to cash in on government plans to have home sellers prepare an information pack that includes basic legal documents and a mini survey. As it stands, this attempt by the Government to simplify the house-buying process is expected to come into force from the summer of next year. Rightmove has already won agreements to prepare the packs on behalf of estate agent Countrywide, HBOS's Halifax and Skipton Building Society's Connells. The trio are all major shareholders in the company and together they account for about 20 per cent of a market which analysts believe could be worth as much as £1.5bn to Rightmove.
That's the good news. Now the bad. There is a danger that the Government's timetable for implementing the Home Information Pack (HIP) reform will slip. Rightmove's profit forecasts to a large extent rely on HIPs and should this happen it is very likely to prompt major downgrades. Even more worrying are noises coming from the Conservative Party, which not only opposes HIPs but has suggested it would scrap them if elected.
This starts to make Rightmove shares, down 12p to 348p, look like a risky proposition. However, it is their current valuation that makes them a total turn-off. The group made an operating profit of £8.7m last year. This is forecast to rise to £14.4m by the end of 2006. That leaves Rightmove, which floated in March, trading at a whopping 73 times historic earnings and 44 times forward earnings, indicating that it is grossly overvalued. Exiting the stock is the right move for investors to make.
Speedy Hire
Our view: Buy
Share price: 862p (-23p)
The building equipment rentals group Speedy Hire made its biggest ever acquisition yesterday. It bought LCH Generators, a private UK-based generator hire company, for £59m. The deal, to be financed from borrowing, will take the total number of generators Speedy Hire has on offer in this country to 4,000.
Analysts across the board applauded the acquisition. And rightly so. LCH is an impressive company. It has grown at an average rate of 20 per cent over the last five years, easily outperforming rivals.
Analysts believe the tie-up will create cost savings and be 5 per cent earnings accretive next year. That means the takeover will boost earnings by 5 per cent even after the interest on the extra borrowings has been factored in.
These days Speedy is benefiting from a fundamental shift in the construction industry. Builders no longer buy equipment but hire it instead. Ten years ago, around 80 per cent of kit was owned by contractors compared with less than 40 per cent today. One of the main reasons for this trend is that owning the equipment and keeping it up to date has become more expensive because of increasingly onerous health-and-safety regulations.
This trend is unlikely to change - if anything it will accelerate over the coming years. Speedy shares have more than doubled in the past two months but at 14 times 2007 earnings are worth holding on to.
EBT Mobile China
Our view: Buy
Share price: 31p (-0.25p)
EBT Mobile China is a Chinese version of Carphone Warehouse. The company has 144 outlets in 15 cities, primarily within hypermarkets run by France's Carrefour and Germany's Metro. Analysts expect the number of shops to rise to 197 by the end of the year.
Yesterday, came news that the group had enjoyed a 93 per cent rise in sales during China's week-long Labour Holiday on the previous year. EBT's mission is to become the leading end-to-end provider of mobile products and services in China and it looks to have made a good start. The group's listing last September gave it access to capital to fund growth.
However, having its shares traded in London also gives it a tradable currency which it can use for acquisition. China's mobile phone retail sector is very fragmented - there are more than 3,200 retailers in Shanghai alone - making it ideal for a player such as EBT to consolidate.
Given that China's economy is booming while less than a third of its population have mobile phones, there can be no better place to be a mobile phone retailer. Buy.

The Story that Ends
This is a story that has an ending. Really. Don't believe me? I can prove it; I already know how it ends. I'll tell you...
Brandon's eyes squinted open as the harsh sunlight filtered through his bedroom curtains. He opened one eye fully and looked around tentatively, getting his bearings. He let out a breath that he hadn't realized he was holding when he saw his familair surroundings. He was home, in his bed.
His football trophies stood dusty on the shelf across the room, as always. A pile of clothes lay rumpled at the foot of his bed, right where he had left them. He glanced at his clock; 9:47 a.m. It all seemed right.
He rubbed the back of his head as he pulled his legs out and onto the cold floor. Despite himself, he smiled ruefully. It had all felt like a dream, but he knew better. He knew everything that had happened in the last week had been real. Well, it had felt like a week. Perhaps it had only been a moment here.
If I tell anyone about this, they'll think I'm crazy. Brandon still smiled at the thought of explaining it to another person.
He made his way into the kitchen, in search of breakfast. He poured himself a bowl of Froot Loops then made his way to the fridge for the milk. A foreign slip of paper, stuck underneath a magnet, caught his eye as he was opening the door. Brandon squinted his eyes and looked closely at the cursive letters.
Until next time, it said.
Brandon smiled widely; he hoped there would be a next time.
There. That is the end to this story. See? I told you. I suppose you're curious now. Well, as always, the best way to reach the end, is to start from the beginning...

Here's a laser power density calculator, if that's what you wanted.
Read on if you're interested in an easy way to calculate power density – even in your head.
Laser engineers and technicians are often required to calculate a laser's power density to determine whether a beam would damage an optic or sensor or for other various applications. By definition, power density is power per unit area which is usually expressed in terms of W/cm2.
The Calculation of power density is straightforward. By simply calculating the area of a beam using the radius in cm and dividing the beam's power by that area the power density in units of W/cm2 is easily obtained. However, since beam size is usually given with the beam diameter in terms of millimeters to calculate power density in W/cm2 a user has to convert the diameter to cm, divide the diameter by two to find the radius, use πr2 to find the area in cm2, and finally divide the laser power by the area to obtain power density. This calculation can be a bit tedious and time consuming especially for technicians and field engineers who want to make as quick and easy a calculation as possible.
With the following formula you can directly find power density of a laser beam using the diameter of the beam in millimeters:
Here is how this equation is derived: We can write an expression for the power density of a1 mmdiameter beam, which is simply:
Dividing the expression of power density of a 1 mmbeam — Power / π(0.5mm)2 — by an expression of power density as a function of diameter — Power / π(0.5d)2 — we find that the ratio is d2. Thus, power density as a function of diameter can be expressed as the power density of a 1 mm beam divided by d2:
This formula assumes the beam is a flat top beam where the beam power density is uniform. For a Gaussian beam with a given beam waist in mm, multiply this formula by two to obtain the formula given above (The multiplication factor is due to the fact that for a Gaussian beam, the peak power in the center is twice the average power density of the beam. The value is actually closer to 255, not 250, but this difference is trivial, introducing only ~2% error. We use 250 simply because it's easier to remember and perform mental calculations than 255! )

Reference to your article "A Shorcut for Calculating Power Density of a laser beam". The fromula derivation may not be completely correct. When you solve for PowerDensity = Power(W) / πr2 = Power / π(0.5mm)2 ≈ 127 x Power (W/cm2); the answer should 1.27 x Power (W/cm2) unless I am missing something. Thanks
Hi Ritchie,
Thanks for your comment. You're correct that 1/(π*.5^2) = 4/π, or about 1.27. What you might not have noticed is that we are also converting mm^-2 to cm^-2, so we need to add two orders of magnitude. Thanks for pointing this out, as it may have been unclear to others as well.
what would be the formula to calculate the powerd density from a laser beam,if we also want to take into account the objective (40x) and magnification (1.6x)?
I assume we are talking about using a micro objective to focus a laser beam. Calculating the power density at the focal spot is possible, but there is not a simple formula for it. You need to know the beam size as it enters the objective and the focal length of the objective. From these you can calculate the divergence (actually convergence) angle by common trigonometry. If the beam is Gaussian then the formulas relating beam size at the waist and divergence angle are given in the article:

Sorry Yogesh, I'm not familiar with sonication technology, this post is about the power density of lasers. Did you check this site: http://www.sonicator.com/literature/faq.shtml#powerintensity? It seems more relevant to your question.
Good luck!

California Takes a Big Step Forward: Free, Digital, Open-Source Textbooks - Megan Garber - The Atlantic
Arthur Lozinski stashed this in Just plain AWESOME!
Stashed in: Education!, California, Kindle!
Governor Jerry Brown signed into law a proposal to create a website that will allow students to download digital versions of popular textbooks for free.
Why did California have to innovate this?
The new legislation encompasses two bills: One, a proposal for the state to fund 50 open-source digital textbooks, targeted to lower-division courses, which will be produced by California's universities. (Students will be able to download these books for free or pay $20 for hard copies.) The other bill is a proposal to establish a California Digital Open Source Library to host those books.
Why isn't a startup doing this?
Eleven Learning and boundless do similar things; I think the natural problem is inertia and syllabi.
Professors control the textbook market with their recommendations; they recommend or require a certain textbook, that textbook -- at least in the pre-Chegg era -- is/was only available for purchase brand new for $150.
Open textbooks won't change anything unless professors require/recommend them in lieu of new editions that have a few pages changed from the last edition and/or a creative resource that matches all required textbooks with open textbooks -- which is hard for the average student to discern at the moment of checkout and/or recommendation.

Gio Gonzalez got the nod for Sacramento on Sunday.
Casey Rogowski feeds Gio Gonzalez on a 3-1 put-out for the second out in the first inning.
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim starter Dustin Moseley got the start for Salt Lake in a rehab assignment. Moseley was roughed up for three runs in the first inning and five runs in 4.1 innings of work.
Eric Chavez greeted Moseley rather rudely, smacking a long homerun to left-center field to lead-off the game for Sacramento. It was Chavez's third extra-base hit in the last two games for Sacramento.
Carlos Gonzalez takes a big swing and just misses in the first inning. He would single later in the at-bat and come around to score. Gonzalez scored twice in the game and made a diving catch in center.
Jeff Baisley extended Moseley's first inning pain, driving-in two runs with a two-out single.
Salt Lake's Dee Brown takes a swing. Brown was a key member of the River Cats' 2007 PCL Championship squad and a late-season member of the A's. Brown went 0-3 with two strike-outs and a walk in the game.
Coby Smith makes a catch just in front of the left-field wall on Landon Powell's opposite field drive.
Brooks Conrad makes the play from shortstop. He has been filling in at short since Gregorio Petit's promotion to the big leagues.
Shortstop Brandon Wood boots a Brooks Conrad ground-ball.
Gary Patchett attempts to throw-out Eric Chavez from his knees in the fifth inning. Chavez was safe on the play with a single that opened a big inning for the River Cats. Chavez went 2-4 with two runs scored and an RBI on Sunday.
After Chavez's single, Travis Buck popped out and Kevin Melillo walked. At that point, Daniel Austen relieved Dustin Moseley with two-on and one-out. Austen allowed both runners to score and two more of his own to cross the plate.
One of the River Cats' four runs in the fifth inning was unearned. Jeff Baisley hit a groundball to the pitcher with the bases-loaded. Austen threw the ball home for the force-out and then catcher Bobby Wilson threw to first to try to complete the double-play...
...Wilson's throw hit Baisley and bounced high over first baseman Kendry Morales' head and into foul territory. One run scored on the play and two more runs scored on a Brooks Conrad single later in the inning.
Gio Gonzalez was outstanding in his start on Sunday. In six innings, he allowed one run on four hits and two walks. He struck-out nine and earned his first win of the season.
The Bees turn two on a Todd Linden grounder. Linden went 2-4 with two runs scored in the game.
Rehabbing Oakland A's reliever Kiko Calero came-in for Gonzalez in the seventh inning. He retired the first five batters he faced before allowing a hit and a walk at the end of his outing. Calero worked 1.2 scoreless innings and he struck-out two.
Kevin Melillo connects for a single. He went 1-3 with a walk as the River Cats' number three hitter.
Darren O'Day took over for Daniel Austen in the eighth.
Jeff Baisley welcomed O'Day into the game with a homerun to start the eighth. Baisley drove home three runs in the game and raised his average to .285.
Ryan Wing came into the game with two-on in the eighth and struck-out Freddy Sandoval. He then worked a 1-2-3 ninth inning to close out the game.
The River Cats celebrated their 26th win of the season and their third straight win over Salt Lake. Sacramento won the series over the Bees, who entered the series with only eight losses on the season.

Indie league coaches manage to get by
"Come on, want to step in there? Take a little BP?"
It's a friendly invitation rather than a challenge. This
might be an independent minor league but the guy talking and throwing is an
ex-major leaguer. No, thanks.
"Or we could find you a uniform and you could sit on the
bench during the game."
Intriguing, considering the plan was to examine why someone
wants to manage or coach in a place like this. The place is Montclair, N.J.,
in a natural amphitheater turned into a homey ballpark that would do any minor
league town proud. But it's still "indie ball." Sure, it's only a dozen or so
miles from midtown Manhattan, but if it's proximity to the big time you want,
you might as well be in Saskatchewan.
It's not even the independent team just up the road in
Newark, the one that's trying to profit from Jose Canseco and other recognizable
names. This is the Northern League East.
"I wouldn't trade this job for anything," says George Tsamis,
manager of the New Jersey Jackals. Yes, he would. After all, a 34-year-old whose
bum shoulder ended an overachieving but marginal pitching career in the Twins'
organization isn't here for a summer vacation. Don't be fooled by the informality.
This is serious stuff. Forget Canseco, Jim Leyritz and the others. Sure, Jeff
Zimmerman made it from this league to the major league All-Star Game. Ruben
Sierra resurrected his career across the state in the Atlantic League. But the
best case for most independent league players is a little extra time in the
bigs. A manager or coach could create a whole career.
You don't need nine innings on the bench with Tsamis to
recognize his enthusiasm for the job is genuine. More like nine seconds. He's
not just the manager. Director of player procurement also is part of the job,
meaning the lower-budget realities of "indie ball" could end up making him marketable
as a manager, a pitching coach, even for a scouting or player development department.
"I always wanted to be a coach, wanted to manage," says
Tsamis, who got into coaching while still pitching for Waterbury (Conn.) of
the now-defunct Northeast League. His manager there was Stan Hough, who since
has worked his way up to the Expos' Triple-A Ottawa.
Now Tsamis is doing the same for his rookie pitching
coach, Joel Bennett. That's the Bennett who came through the Northern League
and made it to the Orioles and Phillies, and whose trip to the Dodgers spring
camp this year got him evaluated for all of four intrasquad game innings, an
annual pressure-packed exercise in trying to buck the odds and find a way to
feed the family.
That, Bennett says, "hasn't been fun since 1997." That's
why he was ready to jump at the player/coach role, something not available with
a team in a major league organization. "I've wanted to coach for a long time,"
Bennett says.
"Everybody's goal is to get to the big leagues, but I'm
in no hurry to get out of here," Tsamis says, partly because of his responsibilities,
partly because baseball is fun again. It ceased being fun, "when you have two
surgeries for a torn rotator cuff and you threw 81, 82 (mph) in the first place
..." He doesn't need to finish the sentence. Tsamis also didn't need to be told
those 41 appearances in Minnesota in 1993 were all he'd get.
"They told me I'd never get past Double-A," he says
with obvious pride. "I never gave up. But you have to be realistic."
While Tsamis talks, infectious with his enthusiasm and
animation, a sole figure straddles the foul line in the right field corner,
doing rapid-fire sit-ups. After several sprints across the outfield warning
track, the man strides to the dugout, sweat pouring off his shaved head, a soggy
gray T-shirt several shades darker and appearing glued to his skin by the perspiration.
"I'm closing in on 42 years old," he says. "I've spent
24 years in the game. I really don't want to do this." What Darryl Motley wants
to do is learn to manage.
He's doing that for the Adirondack Lumberjacks, but one
immediate lesson is that the former Royals outfielder still is better than most
of the guys on his roster. He's preparing to activate himself.
Motley is hoping that helps counteract the effects of another
bit of knowledge he's picked up. Which is to not get suckered in by the notion
that these teams and leagues are home to solely the hungry players out there
for the love of the game.
"It seems like everybody has a story," Motley says. Injured,
overlooked, looked over but cast aside many of these players can tell
you exactly what or who derailed their promising careers. Some still carry a
grudge toward the game.
Tsamis and his hitting coach, 60-year-old former major
league infielder Jackie Hernandez, shake their heads when only three players
show up for early batting practice. Most of the squad was there the previous
day and the immediate dividends were a five-run first inning and an easy victory.
No more work needed, apparently.
"You wonder what some guys are thinking," says Tsamis,
who then has to bark at a couple of players berating each other during a fielding
drill. It's worth knowing Tsamis also told Michael Jordan to shut up during
a 1994 Southern League game, telling the baseball novice that trash-talking
doesn't cut it in this game.
"How come I have a 5-year-old and I can tell her what to
do?" Motley says. "But I have to yell and scream at grown men who are getting
paid for doing this?"
Motley caught the final out of the 1985 World Series. But
he also knows the downside of distant outposts: seven major league organizations,
a couple of independent leagues, three Mexican League teams.
"Monclova, in Mexico, was the worst," he says. "They'd
cut half the field with a push mower. There were broken bottles all over the
field. They had this old zoo at the ballpark. You'd hear the lions roaring while
you were playing. I didn't quit. It made me better. It built character. (His
players) might think it's BS. It's not. The point is, it could be a lot worse
than this."
This time last summer, Motley was coaching Little Leaguers
in Fargo, N.D., trying to convince himself he wouldn't miss the pro game. By
season's end, he was in Glens Falls, N.Y., and MVP of the Northeast League's
championship series. Now, he's hooked on this managing thing.
"It's a learning experience," Motley says. "Nobody's told
me what to do. I didn't get a blueprint. We had two days of spring training.
I had to analyze the talent."
Motley, like Tsamis and Bennett, has to analyze his future,
pitting dreams against real-ity while remembering the sobering lessons of
his playing career. Tsamis is selective about his moves because his wife, Kelly,
is based in Connecticut as a coordinating producer for ESPN's baseball coverage.
"She gets to go to all the big events," says Tsamis, who
big event remains a 2-1 extra-inning loss to Taiwan in the 1979 Little League
final while playing for Campbell, Calif.
Bennett's wife is a teacher, and he has a teaching degree
that he hasn't yet used for more than substituting near his Sidney, N.Y., home.
"I don't know," he says of his future. "This will get us through the summer.
But we have three kids now."
But he's coaching now, too. Just like his former manager
in Baltimore, Ray Miller, told him he could.
"I was wondering how (the players) would react," Bennett
says. "It's been great. I have confidence in my ability to teach. I'm loving
You just know what he's going to do, don't you?

Love in the Extreme
Sometimes, you just have to get on with your life. Sometimes, things that have passed are in the past. Sometimes, you can forget about your life and move on without a backwards glance. And sometimes you can't.
Sometimes, you just have to get on with your life. Sometimes, things that have passed are in the past. Sometimes, you can forget about your life and move on without a backwards glance. Amber knew these things as she ran through the streets of god-knows-where in London. But "sometimes" was the operative word. And they didn't apply to her.
The sound of splashing in the shallow puddles around her feet and the hammering of her footsteps on the cobbled ground echoed against the sides of the narrow alleyway she was running down.
She tripped and fell on a sharp stone, causing a small puddle to turn pink with her blood. That didn't matter. She'd already spilled enough of her own blood that one more cut, accidental or otherwise, didn't matter.
Her arms and legs were covered in pink scars, some fresher that the rest. Each one had a "reason" behind it, although Amber had forgotten all of them. All of them apart from the heart-shaped one on the inside of her right wrist. She knew the reason for that all too well.
She could still hear the harsh footsteps of her pursuiant behind her, but she wasn't worried about what he would do to her. She pretty much knew already and she was sure she'd be well out of harm's way before he could get his filthy hands on her one more time.
She was suddenly temporarily blinded by the lights of the city as she rounded a corner and came face-to-face with London Bridge. She saw how beautiful it was at night, and even in the rain it was a magnificent sight to behold. Funny how you don't realise how beautiful things are until it's too late. And it was far too late for Amber.
Taking a couple of deep breaths, she ran and jumped over the stone barrier that was supposed to stop people like Amber from doing this. She'd always been a talented athlete. But the talent would never blossom.
By the time the dark man had reached the bridge, the ripples where Amber had hit the water had already faded away.

According to reference material, the 3rd of the 12th, including B Company, was in Vietnam from 4 October 1966 until 7 December 1970. It is unknown, at least to the author, how many individuals served with B Company during that period. The goals of this site are 1) to locate unit members who served in Vietnam and add them to our roster, 2) to keep unit members informed of the latest news related to our common service, and 3) to share reference material related to the unit's time in Vietnam.
12th Infantry Regiment
During B Company's time in Vietnam it was in the 3rd Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division. From January, 2017 letter by Herb Taylor, President, 12th Infantry Regiment Chapter - "Most of you are aware by now that the 12th Infantry Regiment Chapter of the 4th Infantry Division Association is placing a monument to the soldiers of the 12th Infantry Regiment. The dedication ceremony will be on May 31, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. The monument will be installed on the Walk of Honor at the National Infantry Museum in Columbus, Georgia." For information on the dedication ceremony see Herb's February letter.
Help Needed- A member of B Company from Feb. '69 to Feb '70, Ron Jaeger, had a movie camera with him during his tour. He has digitized the movies, made them available online, and would like help in identifying the where, when, what, and who shown in the movie. If you were with B Co. during that period please see the article Ron's movie and help him identify the various scenes.

When Gwyneth Paltrow throws a garden party you better believe it's not your average bbq! Gwyneth threw the soiree to celebrate her first capsule collection with Stella McCartney and shared the video on her blog, Goop. Sir Paul McCartney, Rachel Zoe, Cameron Diaz, Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Rowley were just some of the A-listers who attended, and they were even doing shots! From a kids talent show, to some lawn games and dancing, consider us jealous! How do we get in that inner circle?

NVIDIA's Maxwell offers smart performance
Subject: Graphics Cards | September 19, 2014 - 02:17 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom

The answer to the two most important questions are as follows, the GTX 980 will cost you around $560 compared to the $500 for an R9 290X and the GTX 970 an attractive $330 compared to $380 for an R9 290. Availability is hard to predict but the cards will be shipping soon and you can pre-order your choice of card by following the links on the last page of Ryan's review. Among all the new features that have been added to this new GPU one of the most impressive is the power draw, as you can see in [H]ard|OCP's review this card pulls 100W less than the 290X at full load although it did run warmer than the 290X Double Dissipation card which [H] compared it to, something that may change with a 980 bearing a custom cooler. Follow those links to see the benchmarking results of this card, both synthetic and in game.
"Today NVIDIA launches its newest Maxwell GPU. There will be two new GPUs, the GeForce GTX 980 and GeForce GTX 970. These next generation GPUs usher in new features and performance that move the gaming industry forward. We discuss new features, architecture, and evaluate the gameplay performance against the competition."

The GM204 Architecture
James Clerk Maxwell's equations are the foundation of our society's knowledge about optics and electrical circuits. It is a fitting tribute from NVIDIA to include Maxwell as a code name for a GPU architecture and NVIDIA hopes that features, performance, and efficiency that they have built into the GM204 GPU would be something Maxwell himself would be impressed by. Without giving away the surprise conclusion here in the lead, I can tell you that I have never seen a GPU perform as well as we have seen this week, all while changing the power efficiency discussion in as dramatic a fashion.
To be fair though, this isn't our first experience with the Maxwell architecture. With the release of the GeForce GTX 750 Ti and its GM107 GPU, NVIDIA put the industry on watch and let us all ponder if they could possibly bring such a design to a high end, enthusiast class market. The GTX 750 Ti brought a significantly lower power design to a market that desperately needed it, and we were even able to showcase that with some off-the-shelf PC upgrades, without the need for any kind of external power.
That was GM107 though; today's release is the GM204, indicating that not only are we seeing the larger cousin of the GTX 750 Ti but we also have at least some moderate GPU architecture and feature changes from the first run of Maxwell. The GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970 are going to be taking on the best of the best products from the GeForce lineup as well as the AMD Radeon family of cards, with aggressive pricing and performance levels to match. And, for those that understand the technology at a fundamental level, you will likely be surprised by how much power it requires to achieve these goals. Toss in support for things like a new AA method, Dynamic Super Resolution, and even improved SLI performance and you can see why doing it all on the same process technology is impressive.
The NVIDIA Maxwell GM204 Architecture
The NVIDIA Maxwell GM204 graphics processor was built from the ground up with an emphasis on power efficiency. As it was stated many times during the technical sessions we attended last week, the architecture team learned quite a bit while developing the Kepler-based Tegra K1 SoC and much of that filtered its way into the larger, much more powerful product you see today. This product is fast and efficient, but it was all done while working on the same TSMC 28nm process technology used on the Kepler GTX 680 and even AMD's Radeon R9 series of products.
The fundamental structure of GM204 is setup like the GM107 product shipped as the GTX 750 Ti. There is an array of GPCs (Graphics Processing Clustsers), each comprised of multiple SMs (Streaming Multiprocessors, also called SMMs for this Maxwell derivative) and external memory controllers. The GM204 chip (the full implementation of which is found on the GTX 980), consists of 4 GPCs, 16 SMMs and four 64-bit memory controllers.

MSI's overclocked R9 285 GAMING OC
Subject: General Tech | September 8, 2014 - 02:34 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: video, tonga, radeon, r9 285, gcn. gcn 1.1, freesync, factory overclocked, amd, 285
MSI's Radeon R9 285 GAMING OC does not yet show up for sale but with it's factory overclock may arrive at a slightly higher price than the MSRP of $250. The RAM remains at the default 5.5 GHz but the GPU has been bumped up 55MHz to 973MHz out of the box and could likely be pushed higher as MSI has included the usual suspects on this card, Twin Frozr IV Advanced and Military Class 4 components. In [H]ard|OCP's testing the card was well matched by the GTX 760, the HD 285 won more than it lost, but not always and not by much. Compared to the HD 280 not only did the new Tonga card usually provide better performance but the additional feature the GPU supports, of which FreeSync is only one, make the HD 285 the clear winner in that contest. Check their full review for benchmarks.
Ryan reviewed Sapphire's model here.
"AMD has launched the $249 AMD Radeon R9 285 video card. We dive into this somewhat confusing GPU. We compare it to the GeForce GTX 760 as well as an AMD Radeon R9 280. We'll discuss GCN differences in this new video card that may give it the edge with some feedback from AMD."

A few days with some magic monitors
Last month friend of the site and technology enthusiast Tom Petersen, who apparently does SOMETHING at NVIDIA, stopped by our offices to talk about G-Sync technology. A variable refresh rate feature added to new monitors with custom NVIDIA hardware, G-Sync is a technology that has been frequently discussed on PC Perspective.
The first monitor to ship with G-Sync is the ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q - a fantastic 2560x1440 27-in monitor with a 144 Hz maximum refresh rate. I wrote a glowing review of the display here recently with the only real negative to it being a high price tag: $799. But when Tom stopped out to talk about the G-Sync retail release, he happened to leave a set of three of these new displays for us to mess with in a G-Sync Surround configuration. Yummy.
So what exactly is the current experience of using a triple G-Sync monitor setup if you were lucky enough to pick up a set? The truth is that the G-Sync portion of the equation works great but that game support for Surround (or Eyefinity for that matter) is still somewhat cumbersome.
In this quick impressions article I'll walk through the setup and configuration of the system and tell you about my time playing seven different PC titles in G-Sync Surround.

Tonga GPU Features
On December 22, 2011, AMD launched the first 28nm GPU based on an architecture called GCN on the code name Tahiti silicon. That was the release of the Radeon HD 7970 and it was the beginning of an incredibly long adventure for PC enthusiasts and gamers. We eventually saw the HD 7970 GHz Edition and the R9 280/280X releases, all based on essentially identical silicon, keeping a spot in the market for nearly 3 years. Today AMD is launching the Tonga GPU and Radeon R9 285, a new piece of silicon that shares many traits of Tahiti but adds support for some additional features.
Replacing the Radeon R9 280 in the current product stack, the R9 285 will step in at $249, essentially the same price. Buyers will be treated to an updated feature set though including options that were only previously available on the R9 290 and R9 290X (and R7 260X). These include TrueAudio, FreeSync, XDMA CrossFire and PowerTune.
Many people have been calling this architecture GCN 1.1 though AMD internally doesn't have a moniker for it. The move from Tahiti, to Hawaii and now to Tonga, reveals a new design philosophy from AMD, one of smaller and more gradual steps forward as opposed to sudden, massive improvements in specifications. Whether this change was self-imposed or a result of the slowing of process technology advancement is really a matter of opinion.

Interview with Intel's Matt Dunford about Haswell-E and X99

Tagged: video, Intel, X99, Haswell-E, core i7-5960x, 5960X, ddr4
Though my review of the Intel Core i7-5960X Haswell-E processor was posted earlier today, we hosted a live stream later in the afternoon where Allyn and I talked about the launch. We were also able to welcome Matt Dunford, Princpal Evangelist at Intel to talk about his role in the Haswell-E release, the future of the platform, how DDR4 memory fits into it all and much more.
The video is embeded in the processor review now as well but I have included it separately below for those of you that want to jump straight in.
My thanks goes out to Matt from Intel for joining us on the live stream and to all the viewers that came by to submit questions and participate!
Little. Yellow. Different.
Corsair just can't help themselves, they just can't stop building new cases. Obsidian, Carbide, Graphite; the obsession is never ending it seems. That's good news for enthusiasts though as Corsair's entries to the case market have almost always been high quality. Today's official launch of the Graphite 380T, available in yellow, black and white color schemes, brings yet another entry to the Mini-ITX form factor. It's a market that has been getting a lot of attention lately and one that requires more careful thought in design.
With a price of $139-149 depending on color, the Graphite 380T isn't a cheap case by most users descriptions but it is quite unique - both from the look and style as well as the implementation of components. You get a 3-speed fan controller as well as an interior dome light that adds a little character to an exterior that will already get a lot attention. And maybe some comparisons to a Dewalt portable worksite stereo.
The front panel removes with a simple spring-loaded click release and acts as both air inlet and filter for the large 140mm fan included up front.

SUN 'n FUN Fly-In
SUN 'n FUN, a 501(c) (3) not–for–profit organization based in Lakeland, Florida, is best known for its annual International Fly–In & Expo, which takes place at Lakeland Linder Regional Airport in Lakeland, Florida. The 2013 dates are April 9-14.
The Florida Air Museum is an outgrowth of the SUN 'n FUN Fly-In. Museum founders were among the original SUN 'n FUN Fly-In volunteer base and were directly engaged in historic aircraft reconstruction and preservation. The Museum was the first step in addressing a greater need for dedicated facilities, education programs and staffing to share not only Florida's rich aviation heritage but also to educate the public regarding the significant role of aviation in our society. In 2003, the Florida legislature designated the Florida Air Museum as the state's official aviation museum and education center. In recent years, an active education program has developed which includes summer camps, a lecture series, a scouting weekend and various other educational and cultural programs. SUN 'n FUN is also the proud home of the Central Florida Aerospace Academy high school at the campus entrance.

MDS - A Brief Overview
The Multiple Displacement System (MDS) provides cylinder deactivation during steady speed, low acceleration and shallow grade climbing conditions to increase fuel economy. Both four and eight cylinder configurations have even firing intervals providesmooth operation. Two cylinders on each bank are active when the engine is in four-cylinder mode – every other cylinder in the firing order. All of the cylinders that are deactivated have unique hydraulic valve lifters that collapse when deactivated to prevent the valves from opening. Engine oil pressure is used to activate and deactivate the valves. It is delivered through special oil passages drilled into the cylinder block. Solenoid valves control the flow. When activated, pressurized oil pushes a latching pin on each valve lifter, which then becomes a "lost motion" link. Its base follows the camshaft, but its top remains stationary, held in place against the pushrod by light spring pressure but unable to move because of the much higher force of the valve spring.
It is critical to use the recommended oil viscosity in 5.7L engines that use MDS.
Deactivation occurs during the compression stroke of each cylinder, after air and fuel enter the cylinder. Ignition then occurs, but the combustion products remain trapped in the cylinder under high pressure, because the valves no longer open. No air enters or leaves. During subsequent piston strokes, this high-pressure gas is repeatedly compressed and expanded like an air spring, but fuel is not injected.
