I still have my VHS tape recordings of the originally airings of one of my favorite TV shows, "China Beach." Now, with the 1988-'91 series finally coming to DVD, it looks like I can retire them--and my VHS player. (That's the only thing I watch with it.)
"China Beach" is without a doubt one of the best TV series ever about the Vietnam War, and sits high up on my general "best ever" list as well. It told the story of the soldiers, doctors, nurses and others working at a U.S. mobile hospital during the war, and started the careers of Dana Delany, Marg Helgenberger (Nebraska shout out!), Robert Picardo, Michael Boatman and others.
The series was co-created, written and produced by John Sacret Young ("The West Wing") and Bill Broyles ("APollo 13," "Cast Away"). John Wells, who has since worked on such series as "The West Wing," "Southland," "Shameless," "ER" and "Third Watch," came aboard during the second season and wrote some of the most memorable episodes.
This is the first time "China Beach" has been released on DVD (or VHS--my recordings don't count), and it is timed to the show's 25th anniversary. The 21-disc set includes all 62 episodes, 268 classic songs and 10 hours of bonus features. And a whole lot more.
You can preorder directly at timelife.com. The set is expected to start shipping April 15-19.
But thanks to the folks at Star Vista Entertainment and Time Life, I've got a copy of "China Beach: The Complete Series" to give away to one lucky Show Patrol reader. Since this is such a massive set and I have just one, I want it to go to a fan who loves the show as much as I do or wants to love it that much. So I'm making you jump through an extra hoop to get the set: Find the "China Beach" post on my Show Patrol TV Facebook page and leave a comment telling why you would like to own the set.
Deadline is April 19, and I'll pick a winner over the weekend, then contact him or her for mailing info to pass on to the folks at Time Life, who will mail the DVD set. This is open to residents of the U.S. only.
In the meantime, check out all the extras on the DVD below, and watch as cast members remember the series in the videos.
From the press release:
Back to the Beach...
From the moment "China Beach" debuted in 1988, with its iconic opening credits set to the Supremes' "Reflections" as its theme song, it was hailed as groundbreaking television. In an era of testosterone-driven war movies, China Beach delivered a unique perspective: the Vietnam War through the eyes of women!
Never before released on DVD or VHS! You can now own the entire TV series with this deluxe collector's edition housed in a beautiful display box. Includes 268 classic hit songs as they were played in the original broadcast.
This long-awaited set features over 10 hours of new bonus features, including a reunion with the China Beach cast, including Dana Delany (First Lieutenant Colleen McMurphy), Marg Helgenberger (K.C. Kolowski), Michael Boatman (PVT Sam Beckett), Robert Picardo (Captain Dr. Dick Richard) and many more.

Friday's events in Newtown, Conn., sent shockwaves through communities across the nation; As area schools begin the last week of classes before the holiday break, school officials are re-examining their own efforts to ensure the safety of students.
Friday's events in Newtown, Conn., sent shockwaves through communities across the nation, stunned at the loss of 20 first-graders and six school employees to the gunfire of 20-year-old Adam Lanza. Local reactions have been no different. As area schools begin the last week of classes before the holiday break, school officials are re-examining their own efforts to ensure the safety of Franklin County students. Reactions At 9 this morning, the elementary, middle and high schools in the Greencastle-Antrim School District paused for a moment of silence in honor of the victims at Sandy Hook Elementary School. "It's just - I try to look for the right word and I don't know that there is a right word," said Dr. C. Gregory Hoover, superintendent of Greencastle-Antrim School District. Dr. Rebecca Erb, superintendent of Tuscarora School District, said in a statement on the district's website that "as an educator and parent, an event like this shakes me to my core." "We grieve with the families and the community involved and we are keeping them in our prayers," said Dr. Sherian Diller, superintendent of Waynesboro Area School District. Security response Districts across the county are reviewing security measures and action plans this morning in response to Friday's events. "Unfortunately, I think these things give you reason to review (security). It shouldn't be the reason," Hoover said. He added that he would be reviewing security measures with building administrators this morning. Greencastle-Antrim has taken steps over the past several years to increase security at its four schools, Hoover said. Such steps have included secured visitor entrances in the front of the buildings and keycard entrances at other doors. The schools also practice intruder drills, Hoover said. Dr. Joseph Padasak, superintendent of Chambersburg Area School District, said that while the events in Connecticut were "shocking and unfortunate, it would have been very hard to prevent." Chambersburg has its own security department, including a force of police officers who are armed and patrol the buildings, Padasak said. "We're always reviewing, but there's always room for improvement," he said. "We've communicated with parents and staff." In Waynesboro, principals met with teachers and staff this morning at the elementary, middle and high schools to review protocol and security measures, as well as speak with Waynesboro Chief of Police James Sourbier, according to Diller. Working with police Sourbier will also speak with Waynesboro middle and high school students about school shootings during assemblies scheduled for Jan. 8, Diller said. The assemblies were actually scheduled before Friday's events, she added. Padasak said Pennsylvania State Police, which have a barracks in Chambersburg, contacted him following the shooting in Newtown. He plans to review security measures with both state and local police. In Greencastle, Chief of Police John Phillippy reached out to the school district for a meeting on security measures, according to Hoover. Erb affirmed in her online message that "Tuscarora School District will continue to enforce security measures and re-evaluate ... to make sure we are doing all that's reasonably possible to keep our children safe."

General's Highway Athletic Association Facilities
General's Highway Athletic Association, Inc. uses two Anne Arundel County facilities and has done so for quite a few years now. The facilities are:
General's Highway Corridor Park
General's Highway Corridor Park
For baseball, softball, football, lacrosse and soccer, Corridor Park is our home field. We also use the Park for the Annapolis Open which we sponsor annually. We also use the Park for sports practice.
We also act as environmental steward for the park, taking our role seriously and want to make this a premier facility in the County system. Please help us do so by keeping the facility tidy and reporting to the County officials or Officers of General's Highway any untoward or damaging use of the Park. We also welcome your suggestions on improving the Park and if you have a need for the Park we are here to help you with the County.
Corridor Park is on Crownsville Road across from the Renaissance Festival. Crownsville Road runs from MD 450 (Defense Highway) to the Crownsville Hospital grounds at MD 178 (General's Highway).
Rolling Knolls Elementary School
Anne Arundel County Department of Recreation and Parks acts as a facilitator in getting us usage of Rolling Knolls Elementary School indoor and previously, outdoor facilities. The School is part of Anne Arundel County Department of Public Schools and it is they who have authority over the facility not Recreation and Parks. We make use of both the indoor facilities as well as the fields outside.
Inside the school we use the Gym for basketball and the Media Center for meetings. We also use the foyer at times for sport registration activities. We always endeavor to keep the school clean in the way we found it (or better) while ensuring our young children do not run wild through un-permitted school areas in off-hours while we are running a permitted activity. This is part of being a good neighbor with the school.
Outside the school we previously used both the upper (Field A) and lower (Field B) fields for girls lacrosse. This was our home field until 2008 and we also acted as the caretaker in a sense, and had done so since 1986.
Rolling Knolls Elementary School is on Knollwood Road and is visible from MD 178 (General's Highway) at the intersection with Epping Forest Road.

Many DBAs are unsure whether to replicate data by using SQL Server's built-in database replication or the software in their storage system. Unfortunately, there's no definitive answer. Most data centers use both storage replication and database replication because each method fulfills different replication requirements. Storage replication is easy to maintain, and database replication lets you meet specific replication requirements that storage replication can't address. Let's take a look at three of the most important factors to consider when deciding the best combination of database and storage replication for your organization.
Fulfilling Your SLA
The primary reason for replication is disaster recovery. To recover from a disaster, you need a copy of your database; in fact many businesses require a copy of the database, along with its application, at a remote location. Typically, the business owner of the application has a Service Level Agreement (SLA) that specifies how soon the owner's application will become available after a disaster (the RecoveryTime Objective—RTO) and the acceptable amount of data loss the application can suffer (the Recovery Point Objective—RPO). For example, if it takes three days to rebuild the hardware, software, network, and data to make the application available, the RTO is three days. If the database and application are fully backed up to tape and the tapes are shipped offsite every Sunday, the worst case RPO for the data and application would be seven days (i.e., the recovered data would be at most seven days old). To implement a realistic RTO and RPO for an application, you need to understand the timeline of a recovery. Figure 1 shows the timeline of a typical recovery scenario. The steps in the timeline are an overview of what needs to happen before the application can be available. Identified in the timeline is the time period in which the RTO is measured.The definition of the start and end time of where the RTO is within the timeline can be negotiated within the parameters of an SLA. Step 4 in Figure 1, is a reminder that a great deal of infrastructure needs to be in place before—or consequently, during—a disaster to facilitate restoring the data. In steps 5 through 8, data is rolled back to the consistency point of that level. For example, in step 5, the storage-level consistency requires incomplete data in the NTFS to be rolled back to make the NTFS consistent. Once the storage level is consistent, SQL Server attempts to roll back inconsistent transactions. This process happens at each level until it reaches consistency.
Data Consistency
When data is asynchronously mirrored at the storage layer, the storage system's software updates the data from consistency point to consistency point. A consistency point is the state of the storage data structure when it's stable and complete. For example, a file system is stable and complete when all pointers to blocks exist and all the blocks those pointers reference exist. If a disaster were to occur while the storage at the destination point was being updated, the incomplete update would be backed out so that the data in storage would be consistent. Synchronously mirrored storage also has to roll back to the previous consistency point, although considerably less data would be rolled back because the consistency points are closer together in synchronous mirroring. With database mirroring, the storage consistency rollback is avoided for the contents of the database. Instead, database mirroring rolls back to create a transactional consistency point for the database. Any incomplete transactions will be rolled back to maintain database consistency.
Some applications work with the concept of application business consistency, which requires an application to roll back an application log, but typically most applications rely on the database software to maintain the application consistency through transactional consistency points. There is also a growing trend in which multiple applications are interdependent; the data from one application is regularly transported to another. For example, a sales order application could feed data into a manufacturing application. If you had to roll back one application, you would have to roll back all other interdependent applications to maintain consistency across all applications.
Gauging Complexity
Database replication mirrors database objects and maintains database consistency between updates, whereas storage replication mirrors a lower level of data and maintains storage consistency. Therefore, at the block level, database replication results in less data loss because fewer incomplete transactions are rolled back than with storage replication. However, database replication can replicate only one database instance. If you have hundreds or even thousands of databases, you'll need a large number of database-replication relationships. Storage replication lets you put multiple databases that have the same disaster-recovery requirement in a single container and maintain just the storage container replication relationship. Even if you have fewer than a hundred databases in a data center, the data center could have a variety of database types (e.g., SQL Server, Oracle, IBM DB2). Learning how to configure and maintain each type of database replication increases the complexity of the task. In addition, database replication replicates only data within the database. Any supporting files, such as database programs, database error logs, and database configuration files, might not be replicated.
Storage replication provides a simple bulk transport that sends and updates data to the destination without concern for any modifications to the higher level data structures at the database and application level. As long as the data is contained in the storage structure slated for replication, the data will be at the destination. With fewer replication relationships to manage and fewer licenses to purchase, administration is simpler with storage replication.
I recommend using storage replication if possible because of its easy setup and maintenance. Database replication is more complex to set up and maintain because of the greater number of relationships that you have to establish between the production site and the disaster recovery site and because each database platform requires different database replication software. For the few databases that have unusual business requirements, such as a very short RTO and a very small RPO, use database replication.

In handling our DWI cases, the "prompt suspension law" has been bothering me, along with a number of other issues. I first wrote about this a couple years ago as part of a post about judges who have policies. So now I'm going to rant about what's wrong with the prompt suspension and how Pringle v. Wolfe (88 N.Y.2d 426 (1996)) is being applied (or misapplied).
For those who don't know, here's what happens at the start of most DWI cases. The defendant shows up for the court date on the ticket. If the defendant pleads guilty (to DWI or DWAI), then the judge suspends the defendant's license. The court almost always grants a "20-day stay" which allows time to get into the Drinking Driver Program (DDP). By getting into the DDP, the defendant gets a conditional license which lets you drive to work, for work, and some other driving. You get your full license back in 90 days on a DWAI. That's what happens to the guilty people.
For those who show up and plead not guilty, it's a mixed bag. Many judges will suspend the driver pursuant to the prompt suspension law (Vehicle & Traffic Law § 1193[2][e][7]). If you have a lawyer or know what you're doing, you can ask for a Pringle Hearing. That will usually let you keep your license for a few days. You almost always lose the Pringle Hearing because the deck is stacked against you (I'll get into that). Thirty days after the suspension starts you can go to DMV and get a conditional license similar to the DDP one. Some drivers will be able to get a hardship privilege for the 30-day period, but that's difficult and the privilege is very limited -- to and from work only. It doesn't let you drive for work. If you're unemployed, it doesn't let you drive to look for work either.
So, for the innocent (remember that whole innocent until proven guilty thing?), you either can't drive at all or have extremely limited driving for 30 days, and then your driving is somewhat limited while the case is pending - which can take a year or more. The guilty get their full license for 20 days, then get the milder suspension for 90 days. This is the root of the problem, but there are many branches.
Underlying all of this is the real purpose - the prompt suspension discourages people from fighting the DWI case. Innocent people who need to drive plead guilty so they can drive.
There are at least a couple constitutional issues. For starters there's procedural due process - you're supposed to get notice and an opportunity to be heard. You show up to court and the judge tells you he's going to suspend your license. In many cases that's your notice and most people don't know to ask for the Pringle Hearing (your opportunity to be heard). In some courts the judges require you to make a written motion for your Pringle Hearing. You get the opportunity to be heard only if you make a formal application for it. And some judges will suspend you before the Pringle Hearing starts.
Then within the hearing, the standard for suspension is simply whether the "accusatory instrument" (the ticket) is facially valid (they wrote it correctly) and whether there's a valid chemical test showing your BAC was over the limit (0.08). There are other issues that should be considered, but many judges are not interested in them. They don't care about probable cause, or if the chemical test sheet shows irregularities that are unexplained. I just had a hearing where the chemical test showed that the "reference standard" (a bottle of solution that is confirmed by a lab to be 0.10) tested at 0.09 and the temperature was off by 0.1 degrees celsius. I argued that the State should have to prove by expert testimony that this was a valid chemical test. Instead the police officer, who got trained 3 months ago, said that he was trained such variation was acceptable. There's no foundation for his expertise. Nada. He's not an expert. He doesn't know the difference between vertical and horizontal (he demonstrated that in the hearing). Allowing junk science with no foundation into a courtroom further violates the defendant's procedural due process rights.
The process does allow the driver to "rebut" the findings. But this is a ridiculous shifting of the burden. Instead of the State having to show that its tests and evidence are valid, the defendant has to show the tests and evidence are invalid. The State is taking away a substantial right and it should be the State's burden.
The burden shifting also takes us into another realm - substantive due process. When the State infringes a fundamental right, it's means must be narrowly tailored to a compelling interest. Here the Courts will likely say that maintaining highway safety fits. Of course it seems like the government keeps finding more and more compelling interests. The larger problem is the lack of tailoring.
If the concern is protecting highway safety, then how is it tailored if the guilty ones get to continue driving on an unlimited license for 20 days and continue somewhat limited for 90 days, but the innocent drivers can't drive (or are very limited on the hardship privilege) for 30 days and are then limited for an indefinite period of time that often exceeds a year?
Our civil rights are being trampled. Crossing the border is a nightmare to protect us from illegal aliens who want to work on our farms, build our buildings, and take care of our gardens and children. Millions of New Yorkers are subjected to intimidating traffic stops (and worse) to protect us from those who drive 80 mph on roads designed for cars to go 120 mph. With DWI, thousands upon thousands of drivers are rudely interrupted from their daily lives and subjected to "field sobriety tests" (also junk science) and more, and many innocent drivers are suspended for a year or longer. I do appreciate the desire to keep us safe from drunk drivers. The criminal process takes care of that without the need for the prompt suspension law.
Here's what the Pringle case says about that:
To compel the State to provide another level of procedural protection would require plenary hearings and would effectively convert the license suspension proceeding into a trial on the merits of the underlying criminal charge. Such a procedure would be prohibitively expensive and cumbersome, and would subvert the State's compelling interest in promoting highway safety. In view of the temporary duration of the license suspension, such elaborate procedural protections are not constitutionally mandated.
The license suspension may be temporary, but it is also indefinite. I've had clients go a year and a half. Prohibitively expensive and cumbersome? How about for the innocent defendant? Why does the State's half-assed approach (letting the guilty drive while suspending the innocent) to safe roads outweigh the innocent driver's need to drive?
Pringle, by the way, relies on cases involving a refusal to take the chemical test. One case it relies on is Mackey v. Montrym, 443 US 1 (1979), which states:
Nor is it any answer to the Commonwealth's interest in public safety that its interest could be served as well in other ways. The fact that the Commonwealth, for policy reasons of its own, elects not to summarily suspend those drivers who do take the breath-analysis test does not, as the District Court erroneously suggested, in any way undermine the Commonwealth's strong interest in summarily removing from the road those who refuse to take the test. A state plainly has the right to offer incentives for taking a test that provides the most reliable form of evidence of intoxication for use in subsequent proceedings. Indeed, in many cases, the test results could lead to prompt release of the driver with no charge being made on the "drunken driving" issue. And, in exercising its police powers, the Commonwealth is not required by the Due Process Clause to adopt an "all or nothing" approach to the acute safety hazards posed by drunken drivers.
This still seems to me to be a procedural due process analysis. I wonder how it would fare under substantive due process. Perhaps we'll see.

MANCHESTER - They got one. That's a third of the battle.
The Manchester Monarchs still trail their best-of-five American Hockey League Eastern Conference quarterfinal series with the Springfield Falcons two games to one.
They will try to stare down elimination again tonight when the teams meet in Game 4 at the Verizon Wireless Arena at 7 p.m. Game 5, if necessary, is scheduled for Springfield on Sunday at 4.
The Monarchs had never won a game when facing elimination before they held off Springfield, 2-1, on Thursday night at the Verizon. They were 0-10 in previous elimination games.
"It was do or die," said forward David Meckler after his second-period power-play goal lifted Manchester to the win. "We were playing for our season. Our team stepped up. We've got to do it two more times."
Meckler provided the winning goal when he knocked in a rebound with 4:30 left to play in the second period.
Goalie Martin Jones, who had 31 saves, and the defense shut down the Falcons the rest of the way.
The Monarchs, the No. 7 seed to the Falcons' No. 2, sunk into a two games-to-none hole with a pair of overtime losses last weekend at Springfield. They were happy with their compete level and how they played for the most part, but had nothing to show for the first weekend of the playoffs.
Nothing tangible, that is.
"Losing twice in overtime just shows that you could have won," Meckler said. "With a couple of bounces, a couple of shots, we could have won both of those games. . . . We were able to build some confidence even though we lost."
They'll need it going forward.
"We definitely have a lot of work ahead," Meckler said. "I think we're willing to do it and we've got to take it one shift at a time."
Monarch defenseman Nick Deslauriers opened the scoring with his second goal of the series, on the power play, just 4:49 into the game.
Springfield defenseman David Savard tied it less than four minutes later with his second of the series, also on the power play.
Colton Yellow Horn and Meckler had assists on the first Manchester goal and Jordan Weal and Brandon Kozun had them on the second.
"We had good contributions from a lot of players," said Manchester coach Mark Morris. "Hopefully we built a little momentum. Every game is a battle."
THE MONARCHS went two-for-four on the power play on Thursday night. Springfield was 1-for-8. . . . The Providence Bruins, the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, also face elimination tonight. They lost a pair of games at home to No. 8 Hershey, 5-2 and 5-4 last weekend, and now must win a pair of games at Hershey just to stay alive and take the series to a Game 5. . . . The Portland Pirates are already done. The No. 6 seed, they lost a pair of games at No. 3 Syracuse last weekend. On Thursday, they upped their lead over the Crunch to 3-1 with 9:13 left in regulation. Syracuse quickly pulled back to within one goal and then Ondrej Palat scored with 1:12 to go to get it to overtime. Palat scored again with seven seconds left in OT to end Portland's season.

A 20-year-old Canton man and a teenage boy were jailed after a pizza delivery woman was robbed at gunpoint, driven to a wooded area and raped Monday night.
A 16-year-old boy and the 20-year-old Canton man were arrested Tuesday, accused of robbing, kidnapping and raping a pizza delivery woman at gunpoint Monday night.
Capt. Dave Davis, who heads the Canton Police Department's Detective Bureau, said the incident started just before 7 p.m. when the woman delivered a pizza to a home in the 2300 block of 14th Street NE.
The woman, 33, was robbed at gunpoint, placed into the trunk of her vehicle and driven around before they stopped in a wooded area on 17th Street NE, Davis said.
"The victim was forced to engage in sexual conduct with both of the suspects," he said, adding that they left her there without clothes.
They also left the car, which was stuck in the mud.
A passerby noticed the woman and drove her to her house to get clothing and then on to Aultman Hospital, Davis said.
But police had already been called to the wooded area about 7:10 p.m. by neighbors who reported her vehicle as suspicious.
By the time police arrived at the car, the woman had gone. The passerby had already picked her up, Davis said.
Police received a report that she was heading to the hospital, so they went there, talking to her around 9:20 p.m.
The detective bureau, joined by the FBI Task Force, began their investigation, which ended in the arrests a few hours later, Davis said.
Jeremy Joseph of 1421 Third St. NE, and a 16-year-old boy who lives with him were arrested at their home shortly after 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, each on charges of aggravated robbery, kidnapping and rape, Davis said. The teenager's name was not released.
"Evidence of the crime was also recovered at that address," Davis said.
Police are investigating to determine whether the two were involved in two similar robberies of pizza delivery employees last week.
Joseph remained in the jail Tuesday, held in lieu of $100,000 bond pending a hearing in Canton Municipal Court. The youth remained at the Multi-County Juvenile Attention Center pending a hearing at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, a juvenile court prosecutor said.

RIO DE JANEIRO, June 24 (UPI) -- Mother Nature had a scary surprise in store from members of Spain's defeated World Cup team, who were almost home when a bolt of lightening struck their plane.
A rep for Iberia airlines said Flight 2907, carrying most Spain's entire soccer team, was struck by lightening before landing at Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas airport on Tuesday.
Luckily, no one was injured and the plane didn't sustain any damage.
Spain's national team had just returned from a devastating performance at the World Cup in Brazil, where they lost to both Holland and Chile. They ended their World Cup year with a 3-0 win against Australia.
