Union College hockey fans won't see much of the Dutchmen in October, nor will they see very many non-league home games this season.
As associate general manager for the World Cup of Hockey's Team North America, Chicago Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman was well aware what former Union College standout defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere was doing for the Philadelphia Flyers.
College of St. Joseph head baseball coach Bob Godlewski thought he might have a special group on his hands when his Fighting Saints from Vermont knocked off some teams from bigger schools and more prestigious leagues early in the season.
Josh Sciba didn't go full Shakespeare in noting Thursday that other coaches of "good and virtuous nature may recoil" from taking on the Union women's hockey head coaching job, but . . .
Actually, he practically did.
Union College baseball coach Paul Mound vividly remembers the Dutchmen's last NCAA Division III baseball tournament appearance two years ago.
After placing third as a freshmen and second as a sophomore, winning the biggest league race of the SUNY Cobleskill's cross country season didn't come as a complete surprise to junior Taylor Tommell.
For a half, the University at Albany had Syracuse in trouble.
Josh Sciba has a monumental task in front of him taking over the Union College women's hockey team.
Replaces Asano Barcomb.
The University at Albany men's lacrosse team will be facing a familiar rival in the first round of the NCAA Division I Tournament.
Deja vu for the Great Danes.
Great players want to play for the University at Albany lacrosse program.
When Justin Lloyd stepped to the plate against the University of Chicago in Union's third game of the 2014 season, it was clear to everyone there this was no normal early season at-bat.
Joins Panarin and McDavid; winner to be named June 22
Kyle McClancy scored in overtime to give the UAlbany men 15-14 victory over UMBC Saturday afternoon, as the Great Danes earned their fourth straight perfect America East regular season.
New Saints.
At this stage of their local rivalry, the University at Albany and Siena men's lacrosse teams are far apart in both talent and experience.
As 21-year-old pitcher and first baseman Jake Fishman looks at the list of players who have recently won the USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award, which goes to the best amateur baseball player in America, he struggles to grasp the magnitude of it all.
Jamie, Lucy, Maggie and Georgia Schneidereith have played lacrosse together on and off since they were about 6 years old. But nothing means more to the Towson (Md.) High seniors than playing together this spring.
Battle to top-ranked teams.
Major league scouts will be coming in droves to watch the pitching exploits of Shenendehowa senior IAN ANDERSON, just as they did a year ago to take in the batting and fielding prowess of Niskayuna's Garrett Whitley, who became a first-round pick of the Tampa Bay Rays.

Apple's SEC Filing Discusses Lawsuits
Apple's SEC Filing Discusses Lawsuits
by , 9:00 PM EST, December 29th, 2006
Apple Computer filed fiscal 2006 financial documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday that disclosed improperly handled backdated stock options. The documents also revealed several federal lawsuits, including one that purports that iPod+iTunes amounts to an illegal monopoly, according to Forbes.
The suit claims that Apple created an illegal monopoly by limiting songs and videos purchased at the iTunes Store to function only on iPod media players. The case was filed on July 21, and a motion to dismiss the complaint was denied on December 20. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified damages and other relief.
Interestingly, the same argument could be used to say that iTunes Store competitors are committing similar violations since they offer media downloads that are not compatible with Apple's iPod.
On October 24, PhatRat Technology filed a lawsuit against Apple claiming the company is infringing on patents with the Nike+iPod product. Apple and Nike jointly developed the athletic training aid that works with the iPod nano. Apple has not yet responded to the suit.
On November 7, a case was filed against that alleges the logic boards in iBook G4 portable computers fail at an abnormally high rate. The plaintiff in this case is seeking unspecified damages, and Apple has not yet responded to the suit.
Pending cases against a company are routinely disclosed in SEC financial reports, so revealing these lawsuits in and of itself does not indicate that Apple executives are concerned about their financial impact. They do show, however, that Apple lawyers will be spending a considerable amount of time in court rooms in 2007 - just like they did in 2006.
Apple stock is currently trading in the after-hours market at US$84.70, down 0.14 (0.17%).

Product Description
"This is a wonderful book, deserving to be used as a basic reference for students in the humanities, but also of interest to any intellectual eager to understand how today's culture is transgressing old dichotomies such as Blasie Pascal's esprit de géométrie -- esprit de finesse and C.P.Snow's two cultures. -- Solomon Marcus, Mathematical Reviews
"Brams's latest book is manifestly the product of original and sound scholarship and is written at a level that advanced undergraduates can readily understand. It offers an elegant overview of how game theory can deepen our appreciation of literature--and of how literature can enrich our understanding of game theory." Philip Tetlock , Mitchell Professor of Organizational Behavior, Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley, and author of Expert Political Judgment: How Good Is It? How Can We Know?
"Game Theory and the Humanities makes a significant contribution to literary theory, theology, political theory, philosophy of mind, and history. This book has the potential to inspire a literary theory revolution like that of feminism or post-colonial interpretation." Ann Cudd , Professor of Philosophy, University of Kansas
"This imaginative and innovative book should appeal not only to those with an interest in the individual cases, stories, and plays, but also to philosophers, historians, theologians, literary critics, and some specialists in international politics whose concerns are broader." Frank C. Zagare , UB Distinguished Professor of Political Science, University at Buffalo, and author of The Games of July: Explaining the Great War
About the Author

Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
While Brams asserts that he is illuminating game theory (a worthy endeavour), I think it is more accurate to say that he is dissecting and analyzing the humanities with a novel scapel; game theory. Taken this way, the book actually works much better for me. While on dubious theological ground, the interpretation of Old Testament stories through game theory was both entertaining and enlightening, and possibly heretical (not that there is anything wrong with that).
While this book is not the first book on game theory you should read, it would be an excellent second book on game theory, as it provides interesting and unconventional applications of game theory. While I despise LitCrit, this is the most tolerable literary analysis I have ever read. I can but hope that this catches on among English departments, but, sadly, the folks who write LitCrit tend not to apply themselves to such rigorous and structured disciplines as game theory.
E. M. Van Court
Most importantly: why bother? I mean, literary analysis has been doing quite nicely all these years without it. And doesn't all that mathy stuff deaden the real emotional impact of a story? Absolutely not. Personal drives, motivations, and goals form the critical inputs to these analyses. This offers a framework for playing one actor's urges and preferred outcomes against the other's. There's no assumption of an economist's insanely rational agent acting with perfect knowledge, just real people (or other beings) with things they want and things they want not to have happen. Then with just a little thought about each character's available options and desired results, this analytic framework shows why the two interact as they do. It shows how each can change their interaction, and whether they should. If you've ever had the feeling that some fictional characters just aren't behaving realistically, this can show why. Or, if a character acts in unexpected ways, game theory can suggest where to look to see what the reader has missed in undestanding the motivations. And, since we're dealing with basically subjective feelings, preferences, and choices, game theory offers a range of alternative analyses. Once you see how the characters stand, relative to each other, you can try out different ideas about their motivations until you come up with an understanding that explains the action as it stands. Even threats and bribes fall neatly into the basic framework.
Human (and other) interactions hold endless complexity. Each one has its outcome, though, or evolving series of outcomes. And, at a high enough level, there are only so many broad categories of outcomes. Putting a name to that outcome does nothing to reduce its drama, joy, or pain. Instead, it can deepen a reader's appreciation of how it came about, and what made that outcome inevitable (if it was). Rational thought and real feeling aren't opposites. This book shows how rigorous logic can help in understanding unique personalities and how they work together - or don't.

text: Kotipelto Hey guys, this is my first team for BW2. The team was a bit different when it started, and I'm constantly changing things and testing new things out. I didn't want to make a team that looks just like everyone else's. When I was first making this team, I used a Choice Band Hydreigon and SubPetaya Sceptile. Eventually, I changed them, because they sadly weren't working as much I hoped they would. Well, here we are, I know this team isn't great because I honestly just threw these guys together, but this is why I am posting an RMT to hopefully make this team better. Also, if you understand the title of the thread and the nicknames of the Pokemon, you just earned yourself a medal. Episode (Landorus-T) (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Intimidate EVs: 200 HP / 64 Atk / 244 Def Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Stealth Rock - U-turn - Stone Edge - Earthquake A defensively oriented Landorus-T. One of the new toys that has been born into the bw2 meta game. I really wanted to use him, and a choice scarf set wasnt going to cut it for me, and I also needed a stealth rocker, so I decided to make him bulky and use him as a tank; however, I would like to make room for more attack ev's because Stone Edge is doing a solid nothing to Dragonite. U-Turn is here for scouting and maybe even bluffing a choice scarf set at times. Four out of six Pokemon on my team have volt/turn, so I can keep solid offensive pressure. Earthquake is here as his main stab move, and stone edge is for flying and ice types. Also, as you probably have not noticed, I have two Pokemon on this team with Intimidate. It's really funny crippling physical attackers by switching back and forth between Landorus and Hitmontop. Visions (Snorlax) (M) @ Choice Band Trait: Thick Fat EVs: 40 HP / 252 Atk / 40 Def / 176 SDef Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Body Slam - Fire Punch - Earthquake - Pursuit Choice Banded Snorlax. This is my first time using this guy, and I'm really liking him. My team is really weak to Volcarona as well as hard hitting special attackers like Specs Latios. Because I want to keep this team offensive, I opted for Choice Band for the extra power which really comes in handy. Thick Fat also comes in handy for absorbing ice type attacks aimed towards my Landorus and Thundurus. Body Slam is here as his main stab move which hits several things hard. I went for Body Slam over Return because the chance for paralysis is way too good to pass up just for the slight decrease of power. Fire Punch is here because I need a fire move somewhere on the team, and it's fun KOing incoming steel types. Earthquake is here for, as I said, Volcarona and other fire types. Pursuit is a great move, it's been nailing so many surprise KOs, even beyond the likes of Latios, Gengar, etc. Destiny (Genesect) @ Choice Band Trait: Download EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def) - Flamethrower - Quick Attack - Zen Headbutt - U-turn Choice Band Genesect. Choice Band. BAND. I have to say, Genesect has been the MVP of this team. Everyone expects a choice scarf, but nope, we got Scizor 2.0 right here. I personally feel he does Scizor's job better than Scizor does. Unlike Scizor, this is pretty unpredictable, and also he is a mixed attacker. And on top of all that: DOWNLOAD. Getting the physical attack boost when going for a U-Turn is going to hurt whatever the opponent switches in to take it. Flamethrower is here to nail Forretress, Scizor, Ferrothorn, you name it. Quick Attack is here for the very necessary priority to pick off the remaining small amounts of health that fast enemies have, or even when I am just desperate and need to land an attack. Zen Headbutt>Iron Head all the way, it has better coverage and is much more surprising. U-Turn is the main attack, and I love just striking Tyranitars with it. Why don't people at least expect U-Turn? Infinite (Thundurus-T) (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Volt Absorb EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Nasty Plot - Thunderbolt - Hidden Power [Ice] - Grass Knot Nasty Plot Thundurus. Again, another thing most people don't expect but they really should. I needed a wallbreaker on this team, so I slapped nasty plot on him and it is hilarious completely obliterating things after I have taken out the opposing teams special walls. Thundurus also serves as an electric resist, which isn't completely necessary for my team, but the more resists, the better. So I wanted to go for Volt Switch to continue my VoltTurn core and just to scout, but i needed a wallbreaker. Nasty Plot is here for the setting up, which my team lacks. Thunderbolt is here for when I just need all out power after a Nasty Plot and it's his main stab. Hidden Power Ice is here for dragons and grounds, and Grass Knot is here for Swampert, Quagsire, and Gastrodon. Intermission (Hitmontop) (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Intimidate EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Rapid Spin - Close Combat - Mach Punch - Sucker Punch Offensive Spinning Hitmontop. He is definitely what is holding my team together. I needed a fighting type, I needed a spinner, I needed priority, and I wanted to make an intimidate core to see how that would work. Hitmontop is one of my favorite Pokemon, so that is another reason I am using him. I decided to make him more offensively oriented because I really needed to pack a punch when striking those who are weak to fighting, and also I already have Landorus for my physical wall thanks to his intimidate support. Rapid Spin is here because my team will get destroyed by Stealth Rock. Close Combat is there for just raw power when I don't need the speed. But when I do need speed in my hit, that's why I have Mach Punch here. And lastly, I have Sucker Punch here because it's fun catching Jellicent with it. Serenity (Rotom-W) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Levitate EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Volt Switch - Trick - Hidden Power [Ice] - Hydro Pump Choice Scarf Rotom-W. He is the last part of my VoltTurn core, and he offers the needed water type move of my team. I went for Scarf because I have a bunch of hard hitting attackers, but not a speedy revenge killer who also boasts impressive power, as well as the ability to cripple baton pass teams. Trick is here because baton pass teams have been destroying me lately; however, whenever I use Trick, I ALWAYS horribly time it and wind up helping out my opponent. As I said, Volt Switch is here for the third and last part of my VoltTurn core. Hidden Power Ice is for Dragons and grass types, while Hydro Pump is the main stab move that's obliterates anything that doesn't resist it. Conclusion: Well, that's just about it. Although I do want to mention threats to my team. The biggest threats to my team are surprisingly baton pass teams. I have no way to counter it, and I cannot find an effective way to counter it while keeping this team the way it is. Also, I am not 100% sure about Landorus' ev's, so if any of you have an idea, feel free to let me know. All kinds of criticism is appreciated, and thanks for reading.

China Accuses Vietnam of Hyping Oil Rig Dispute
Comment (34)
Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi (L) listens to Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung in Hanoi, June 18, 2014.

Talks between Chinese and Vietnamese officials in Hanoi over disputed waters turned turbulent Wednesday, as China's representative accused his counterparts of "hyping up" the conflict.
China's Foreign Ministry quotes State Councilor Yang Jiechi as telling Vietnam to stop disturbing Chinese operations at sea, inflating differences, or creating new disputes over challenged territory in the South China Sea.
Yang also said the disputed Paracel Islands are "China's inherent territory."
There was no immediate Vietnamese comment on the talks. The Vietnamese side was represented by Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung and Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh.
The Hanoi discussions were the first high-level talks between the two sides since the May deployment of a Chinese state-run oil rig, which led to a maritime standoff and deadly anti-China protests in Vietnam.

Before the meeting, Foreign Minister Minh expressed hope that the talks would help improve strained relations between Beijing and Hanoi.
"We wish to discuss and resolve the complicated situation in the East Sea and to help develop healthy and stable relations between the two countries for the benefit of both sides and the region," said Minh.
Yang earlier acknowledged the dispute is damaging relations between the two communist-led countries, which fought a bloody, three-week border battle in 1979.
"China and Vietnam relations are experiencing a difficult period. On this trip, as appointed by our Central Committee, I am to discuss candidly and thoroughly with Mr. Pham Binh Minh the two countries' relations and current issues in the South China Sea," said Yang.
Vietnam says Chinese ships have sunk one of its ships and damaged 24 others, as well as injured 12 members of its fisheries surveillance force. But China accuses Vietnamese ships of being the aggressors, saying they have rammed Chinese ships 120 times since early May.
The U.S. has said it does not take sides in the dispute and wants countries in the region to settle their differences peacefully.
China's territorial claims in the South China Sea overlap with those of Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei.

hi Reality,
I don't deny your opinion, I know some big countries had the oversea territories such as France , England, USA, etc. Hongkong have ever been belonged to UK Kingdoms , Vietnam have ever been belonged to France, several parts of China have been belonged to Japan. Vietnam is also administrating the almost of Spratly islands outside EEZ zone. The key of the problem is that we are living in the 21 century and China is trying to twist the law of world, to use the power of muscle to bully the small countries, to draw U shaped line which is along the beach side of Philippines and violate the deep EEZ of Malaisia, Brunie, Vietnam, to claim all of the sea for them. In fact, China could draw the other U shaped lines more in North Pole, Antarctica or the Moon now and use it in the future once she is Number One. Don't try to stole the resource from the weak countries because the ants could kill a big elephant.

spratly islands are not within viet EEZ! viet should get out of it! viet is crazy and greedy by claiming 80% south china sea! Democratic Taiwan published the nine dash line in 1947! its a proof that SCS belongs to china! Viet PM recognized china sea territory in writing in 1958 after PRC declared 12 nm sea territory around her mainland and all islands including Taiwan, xisha, nansha, zhongsha and dongsha! viet text books were using their chinese names for xisha and nansha islands until 1974. that is also a strong proof that those islands belong to china not to viet! viet is a cheap liar!

hi jonathan ,
Spratly islands is not within Vietnam's EEZ, that is right, around 230 to 250 miles from Vietnam's mainland. And around 700 miles from China's mainland. You should talk your government to get out of it too.
Paracel islands, a part of it (Crescent Group) is in Vietnam's EEZ, 170 Miles from Vietnam's DaNang province, 120 Miles from Vietnam' Ly Son island. Another part (Amphitrite Group) is 235 miles from China's mainland, 140 miles from HaiNan island. All of group Paracel islands which are under administrated by Vietnam's feudal dynasties, Protection of the French government and Southern Vietnam to 1974, They have built many fortifications including the landmarks here. http://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qu%E1%BA%A7n_%C4%91%E1%BA%A3o_Ho%C3%A0ng_Sa#mediaviewer/T%E1%BA%ADp_tin:BiaChuQuyenHoangSaCuaVietNam.jpg.
Vietnam claimed 200 miles EEZ by the international law of sea, claimed Paracel islands and Spratly islands by inherent territory for long years ago. I see about 40% Southeast Asian Sea (South China Sea).
China claim all of sea about 90% Southeast Asean sea by 11 dash-line. What is laws of the world say that you draw a circle on the ocean, it is yours. The Southeast Asian sea is not Chinese's lake , it is sea. Let get out.

@jonathan hung,
like I said another Chinese twisting facts . Vietnam is drilling within their 200 EEZ zone from country NOT island. Vietnam does not claim 80% of sea! open your tiny eyes and look carefully . And what Vietnam claims at is approximately close to their land NOT like China U shape which does not make sense. So what if Taiwan claim the same as China , it's still doesn't make sense even if their democratic. What kind of proof is that.
Like the letter from North Vietnam said it only recognize 12 nautical, nothing more , so stop making up stuff . Also that letter was not from the official decision maker of North Vietnam . Also North Vietnam did not own islands but rather South Vietnam .
The text book you are talking about is another Chinese propaganda . It did not use xisha or what ever you are referring BUT rather a Vietnamese spelling which China imaginary made it sound like xisha.
Again, China's ploy to invent fake evidence because they are greedy country . Vietnam , Europe and the America have their maps which undisputed proof that Vietnam administer those islands. China also has some maps BUT are hiding it. China is the only cheap liar
June 19, 2014 1:00 AM
the 11-dash line (boundary between China and Vietnam/Phillipines etc) of South China Sea was set by KMT (taiwan) government, who was an ally of the US in WWII, now the 11-dash line reduced to 9-dash line. During WWII and after WWII until 1950-1970s, Philippines and Vietnam have never questioned 9-dash line, actually Vietnam even acknowledged by written form for boundary between China and Vietnam (i.e. 9 dash line) in 1950-1970s. In the past 20-30 years, Vietnam changed their mind and used 1980s so called sea treaty to try to get more South China Sea back. Vietnam even claimed almost all of South China Sea as its territory. The sea treaty is ratified in 1980s and is not applicable for boundary set in 1950-1970s between China and Vietnam. We cannot use current law to judge cases which happened before the law was in effect.
For example, the current US immigration law are not applicable to people who came to North America before the US immigration law was in effect, if you disagree with this, most Americans should go back to Europe since most of them came to North American illegally, and they should follow the current US immigration law to immigrate to US again. If you think this is ridiculous, then only stopping blaming China, China does have its reasons and basis for South China Sea claims. Please remember KMT government (Taiwan), a US ally, set up 9-dash line in 1940s.
Please also remember that it is Vietnam who occupied most South China Sea islands and extracted (is extracting) huge amounts of gas and oil from South China Sea , NOT China, China didn't get one drop of oil from South China sea so far. So it is Vietnam who bully China, a small dog is biting a big elephant
Calm down before you only blame China and before your prejudice. These Asian countries should talk and stop provocative actions, e.g. Vietnam should stop extracting gas and oil from disputed South China Sea in order to get China back to the Table. Vietnam, the aggressive small dog, should not bully China, the big elephant, much if Vietnam really want to solve South China Sea issues.
So China has its reasons, basis and legal principles for its claims, the only way to resolve these disputes is by peaceful talking and compromise each other instead of blaming and showing prejudice to China and Chinese.
Some guys here really have strong prejudice about China without basic knowledge about histories, for example, it is Japan which invaded China during WWII. Japanese like to call themselves big Japan, but Japan is actually smaller than China in land area, but it is Japan who launched 14 years invasion to China during WWII. Can you believe it?

China is coward. It's calling itself as big country. Go picking on country of its size and see what will happen. You are also talking about Japan invaded China. Well go study your history and you will know how many times China had tried to invade Vietnam and got defeated. It's no different this time. Your country will fail again and again.

I think your reasoning is limited. Have you ever done some logical thinking about this issue? If Paracel Islands and the surrounding water areas belong to China then would China let Vietnam to extract the oil from it for such that long time? I do not think so-(especially it's China we are talking about). China did not extract oil in this area and it did not do anything while Vietnam has been extracting the oil and gas just because of one simple reason: Paracel Islands and the surrounding water areas belong to Vietnam.
But now China started to bite in the water areas, I am wondering what the reasons are? Might it be because now China think they are one of the "big" country so they can rewrite the law, or rewrite the whole history? even the the world history? You seem to like history, I advise you to learn history again to understand who played the bully role all along the history of the relationship of two countries.

please use your real Chinese name. You must have it in reverse. Before 1954, China or Taiwan never claim any islands in East Sea. Vietnam has many historical maps around the world that Hoang Sa(Paracel) and Truong Sa(Spratly) islands belong to Vietnam. Vietnam occupied most islands because Vietnam has administrative have control of these islands for centuries until China invaded Paracel islands from South Vietnam in 1974 and one Spratly island from Vietnam in 1988 killing 80 Vietnamese sailors. If China believe it has a case go to neutral international arbitration instead of wanting to deal with each country one by one where China can bully. The world knows China lies.

You are another delusional Chinese . So what if Taiwan claim same as China. It is still has to be proven with facts not just "ancient time". Taiwan does not escalate situation Vietnam does not claim what ridiculous China claim . Also , what Vietnam claim is closer in proximity to them than it is to China . Vietnam can drill as much as they want if it is in their EEZ and not in dispute waters BUT China went to Vietnam undisputed EEZ and raise the tension.
China is the real bully so stop trying to twist the situation and make China look so innocent. It isn't working . Oh by the way that letter you talk about Vietnam admitting islands belong to China is also China twisting facts. The letter does not admits island to China but rather only says to respect China 12 nautical miles. CHINA HAS NOTHING TO BACK THEIR CLAIM

China has never been a peaceful neighbor with Vietnam, which 1000-year history proved this. Invading Vietnam's water areas is a long-term Chinese plot, and it won't give up the plot. Aggressive actions of China if doesn't happen at the time, it will happen at another time, and I am sure the dispute will be deadlocked, except Vietnam gives in its sovereignty. Vietnam should challenge the legality of the water areas in international court, change to a democratic, multiparty regime, and make the military ally with the U.S. to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity, rather than meeting with deadlocking disputes. Any delay is the victim of the foul play of an expanding China.

Add just a dash of intellect, other than bashing the most hated (but for some strange reason, the most sought after) country in the world. Since you have obviously done extensive objective research in your USA bashing, the good ole' USA did not kill millions of Iraqis nor millions of Afghanis. Muslims killed millions of Iraqis and millions of Afghanis. I guess it's the USA that's killing the tens of thousand of Iraqis and Syrians today? This is just a forum for us all to inspire INTELLIGENT discussions, you should try it, you might like it. I asked you before to please remove 'Canada' for your location! I enjoy ripping on Canadians (South Park anyone? hehe), but Canada is an awesome country, so, please change your location to 'Fantasy Island' or something.

@Purushottam Upadhyay from: Jaipur: you are so so empty-headed and uneducated.
Japan has 4 neighbors and has boundary disputed with all its neighbors (100%); China has 14 neighbors and only has boundary problems with 4 of them (~28%).
Boundary disputes related to China:
1) China-Japan: Japan was brutal Fascist/Nazi during WWII, but Japan didn't follow the well-known Potsdam Declaration and Cairo Declaration (signed by US, Russian, UK, China) during WWII, and occupy more land area than it should based on Potsdam Declaration and Cairo Declaration (see wiki); Japan is a liar about history and cheated many people.
2) China-India: McMahon Line was drawn by England guy, whi privately and unilaterally change boundary between China and India without presence of China. Of course, China cannot recognize it. So a British caused boundary dispute between Indian and China.
3) China-Vietnam/Philippines: the 11-dash line (boundary between China and Vietnam/Phillipines etc) of South China Sea was set by KMT (taiwan) government, who was an ally of the US in WWII, now the 11-dash line reduced to 9-dash line. During WWII and after WWII until 1950-1970s, Philippines and Vietnam have never questioned 9-dash line, actually Vietnam even acknowledged by written form for boundary between China and Vietnam (i.e. 9 dash line) in 1950-1970s. In the past 20-30 years, Vietnam changed their mind and used 1980s so called sea treaty to try to get more South China Sea back. Vietnam even claimed almost all of South China Sea as its territory. The sea treaty is ratified in 1980s and is not applicable for boundary set in 1950-1970s between China and Vietnam. We cannot use current law to judge cases which happened before the law was in effect.
So China has its reasons, basis and legal principles for its claims, the only way to resolve these disputes is by peaceful talking and compromise each other instead of blaming and showing prejudice to China and Chinese.

Clearly you forgot the most important one, Russia, let along others. China has 14 neighbors share land border, and among them only two have dispute, India and budhan.
China has allies such as Russia, Laos, Burma, Cambodia, Pakistan! Has good relationship with Thailand, Korea, Afghanistan, hasakastan, Tajikistan. Only has trouble with Japan, India, viet and philipine.
On the other hand, Japan has territory dispute with all of its neighbors, kril island with Russia, Dokdo island with Korea, Diaoyu islands with Taiwan and China.
Viet has no friends at all, it's communist, it's poor, it's backward and greedy! Viet fought war with America, invaded Cambodia and Laos, fought war with Thailand and China, viet is a rabis dog!

- non-destructive sampling
- Traditionally headwater streams are surveyed using electrofishing, a potentially harmful sampling method. Increasingly scientists are seeking out the least destructive stream sampling methods, especially when sampling imperilled fishes. It is therefore imperative that the efficacy of alternative, non-destructive sampling methods be investigated.
- This study investigated the potential for using underwater video analysis (UWVA) as an alternative to electrofishing for assessing the diversity and relative abundance of imperilled fishes in clear, relatively shallow (<1.5 m) headwater streams.
- Detection rates using UWVA were higher than with electrofishing, relative abundance estimates between the two methods were significantly correlated, the attractive effect of the camera was negligible and UWVA was logistically feasible for sampling small headwater streams.
- These results have clear conservation implications as it was demonstrated that UWVA is a suitable sampling method for estimating relative abundance of fishes in small, clear headwater streams.

"People don't buy what you do. They buy why you do it."
Such is the claim made by Simon Sinek, author of Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action, in the compelling video below. And the message couldn't be more apropos to musicians.
I've asked musicians from all over the country why they chose music as a career path. By far, the two most common responses are:
Now, if you do choose this vocation, let's hope it's something you're passionate about and an area where you excel!
But those explanations are not a mission. They're not a vision. They provide no clues about what makes your work powerful, and offer no persuasive reason for others to buy your CDs, employ your group, hire you to their organization, attend your music school, or purchase anything else you're selling.
Sinek is correct. As musicians we all know what we do (i.e. play amazing clarinet, teach piano), and usually how we do it (high quality chamber concerts, private lessons). But the why is oddly absent for too many of us in the trenches. And our counterparts who get this equation right quickly rise to the top.
If we took his advice, why would be the single most important issue. As we worked our way outward through the concentric rings of how and then what, we might even stumble onto completely new, different, and uncommon solutions.
Hoping to attract a bigger following or get better gigs? What's your why?

Blowing the Whistle, and Now Facing the Music
By KURT EICHENWALD
Published: March 16, 1997
AS he recuperated from kidney surgery last March, Richard A. Lundwall stared at the walls of his hospital room and stewed about how he was being treated by his longtime employer, Texaco Inc.
Weeks before, Mr. Lundwall had been unceremoniously forced out of his job in Texaco's finance department. Most colleagues ignored him; no one offered an official farewell on his last day. Mr. Lundwall even felt slighted by the company's failure to send a personal note during his stay at Danbury Hospital in Connecticut.
The events played through his mind again and again. As a former marine, Mr. Lundwall prided himself on his ability to confront adversity. But now, as his long career seemed to be dwindling to a depressing end at age 55, the bedridden executive felt powerless for the first time in his life.
And then it hit him: The tapes.
He called his wife, Petria, at home and asked her to bring his tape recorder and the mini-cassettes he had stumbled across while cleaning out his office. Soon, he was excitedly sitting in bed, listening by earphone to the meetings he had secretly recorded years earlier when Texaco executives belittled minorities and plotted the destruction of documents demanded in a discrimination suit.
''I knew right then that if they ever were to make the light of day, those tapes would be very embarrassing, to say the least, for Texaco,'' Mr. Lundwall said in a recent interview.
With that, Mr. Lundwall set the stage for a highly publicized scandal at Texaco, the international oil giant based in White Plains. Months later, he turned the recordings over to the plaintiffs' lawyers in the discrimination suit brought on behalf of the company's minority employees. The cassettes quickly touched off a debate over the progress of minorities in corporate America, pushed Texaco into a record $140 million settlement of the discrimination suit and led prosecutors to investigate the document destruction as a possible criminal act.
Lost amid the tumult that followed the disclosure of the tapes last November was the story of Mr. Lundwall. For more than five months, he has remained silent, unwilling to explain why a former Texaco loyalist set off a scandal that stunned the company and turned the executives implicated in the document destruction -- including Mr. Lundwall himself -- into targets of criminal investigators.
Now, even as the case against Mr. Lundwall moved forward with his indictment on Thursday on a charge of obstructing justice, he is telling his story. In a wide-ranging series of interviews, he described how the life he built after a childhood of poverty had drastically changed for the worse. And he spoke of his motivation for recording, keeping and, finally, disclosing the now-infamous tapes.
Mr. Lundwall's unusual story was also pieced together through court and corporate records, as well as with interviews of family members, business associates and other participants in the continuing scandal.
What emerges is a portrait of a man of contradictions, at one moment an eager participant in apparent wrongdoing, at another the whistle-blower exposing those same activities. But he also comes through as a strikingly naive man, who had little notion of what he was unleashing.
The events surrounding Mr. Lundwall also raise difficult questions about how companies should handle executives when they expose potential wrongdoing in which they willingly took part.
Indeed, Mr. Lundwall's fate has provoked heated debate among some in the legal and civil rights communities.
''To indict Mr. Lundwall is to put a chilling effect on the initiative of Richard Lundwalls at other companies,'' said Roy Innis, the national chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality. ''We should respect the sacrifice he made in coming forward, so that other Richard Lundwalls might do the same.''
Indeed, Mr. Lundwall's future looks gloomy. Unable to find work, he spends his time at home in Danbury and volunteering in a homeless shelter. Many of the health and retirement benefits from Texaco are gone, cut off by the company. His wife, who had hoped to retire soon, must continue her job at a retailer to keep health insurance and hold up their sagging finances. Even the physical toll is evident, with Mr. Lundwall, long a rail-thin man, having lost 20 pounds since the saga began. As he examines the wreckage, his regrets mount.
''Was it the right thing to do?'' Mr. Lundwall asked. ''Sure. Would I do it again, if I knew what was going to occur? Chances are, no. In the real world, you don't want to put your head in that guillotine. I don't know a sane man who would. And I'm certainly sane.''

After Drifting, Job Is an Anchor
The Chevrolet sat motionless on the exit ramp off the Southern State Parkway. The car had blown a tire, but the driver had no idea how to change it. She didn't even own a jack.
A green Mercury Comet pulled up behind and stopped. It must have been a welcome sight. Driving the Comet was a man who wore the Star: a Texaco service station attendant. The young man, wearing the company uniform and cap, jumped out of his car and, jack in hand, walked toward the Chevy. In a flash, the flat was changed.
The driver asked what she owed. Richard Lundwall smiled. Nothing, he replied. The next time she filled up, he told her, just think Texaco.

A League of Their Own 1992
Home sick from work, long overdue for a revisit. This was the first viewing since the revelation that the actress playing older Dottie at the beginning was not Geena Davis in old makeup. It was therefore the first viewing wherein I noticed the blatantly obvious dubbing of Davis' voice over that actress. It's the one glaring issue with the movie. If none of the other elderly actresses had to have the exact same voice as their younger antecedents...why did they dub Davis? It makes ZERO sense. Still, amazing film obviously.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens 2015
My second viewing, but my first with Drake. Love seeing flicks with my fam! I think I liked FA even more the second time.
