...special convening-coven?-of the BLOHARDS (Benevolent Loyal Order of Honorable and Ancient Red Sox Diehard Sufferers of New York), which is a 40-year-old behind-enemy-lines fraternity with a suddenly burgeoning membership. The conclave had been organized in a rush by club founder and grand poobah Jim Powers, and publicized on our website by Jim Shea. Powers had been contacted, in the aftermath of the glorious occasion, by the Boston brass to see if the BLOHARDS would like to gaze upon, and pose with, the championship trophy.

...viewer's eye. Upon striking a surface, each ray will be absorbed, reflected or transmitted in accordance with the laws of optics. Programmed with a mathematical model of the behavior of light rays, the machines can re-create lighting effects of dizzying complexity. Caltech's Jim Kajiya, for example, has used ray tracing to show how ripples travel through a reflecting pool...
