The Crimea standoff has underlined Moscow’s resolve to draw a line with the West over its vital security interests. Moscow will now be increasingly looking East to protect and promote its economic and geopolitical interests. DMITRY BABICH RIBR Stock Market Index oes Russia have a new diplomacy after its unilateral action in Crimea, Dwhich is seen as “occupation” by the Western powers and as “reunification” by a majority of the Russians and their allies abroad? There are two extremes in answering this question. One is to say that Moscow is trying to recover its old Soviet might, probably even beyond the borders of the former Soviet Union. The other extreme is to say that what happened in Crimea was an “unsuccessful improvisation” and things will soon be back to business as usual – with Russia grudgingly accepting the inclusion into the Western sphere of influence of ever new territories of Putin’s approval rating the former Soviet Union to the tune of talks about “expanding the zone of security and prosperity.” The truth, as always, is between the two extremes. Russia does not want isolation and exclu- sion from the international exchange of la- bour, capitals and knowledge, even though its foes in Euro-Atlantic and EU structures are AP happily tr ying to impose on it just this kind Bold Gamble: Russia’s President Vladimir Putin is poised for a tough diplomatic battle after the controversial Crimea reunification.

  • Sam Walker April 23, 2018 My Ego Demands – for Myself – the Success of My Team
    What is the Hidden Force that Creates the World’s Greatest Teams? Exploring Leadership in Sports | Sam Walker April 23, 2018 My ego demands – for myself – the success of my team. INTRODUCTION – Bill Russell What’s up everybody? Welcome to this week’s episode of Hidden Forces with me, Demetri Kofinas. Today, I speak with Sam Walker, the Wall Street Journal’s deputy editor for enterprise, the unit that directs the paper’s in-depth page-one features and investigative reporting projects. A former reporter, sports columnist, and sports editor, Walker founded the Journal’s prizewinning daily sports coverage in 2009. Sam is also the author of "The Captain Class: The Hidden Force That Creates the World's Greatest Teams." In addition to The Captain Class, he is the author of Fantasyland, a bestselling account of his attempt to win America’s top fantasy baseball expert competition (of which he is a two-time champion). Sam, welcome to Hidden Forces… WHY DO I CARE? Human beings gravitate naturally towards sports. We love to compete. But our love-affair with athletic performance is not just about rivalry or competition. It’s about so much more. As our lives becomes increasingly intermediated by computer interfaces, spectator sports provide one of the few remaining ways to experience the elegance and power of the human body. In a world that is constantly changing, sports are a window into the old. They offer us a glimpse at millions of years of evolution – the impulses, characteristics, and behavioral urges of our ancestors. In this sense, what interests me most about Sam’s book is that it provides insight about how human beings organize successfully into groups and the unique (and Sam would argue crucial) role of leadership and stewardship in those groups.

  • Hoser's Promenade
    Excerpted from The From Best Game You Can Name HOSER’S PROMENADE Because the E! Cup was such a bright light on the CanRock hockey player’s social calendar, we always had more than enough players to fill our tournament roster. This was a good thing considering that Schmiddy -- another ‘Star regular-- had passed on the tournament, and Tyson had suffered a rib injury in our first game versus Capsule. T, it seemed, was forever breaking ribs. Or straining his neck, twisting an ankle, pulling a groin. There were few shifts I remember where T wasn’t doubled over skating to the bench or tipping his head back in pinch-faced agony. There were even fewer shifts where he wasn’t out there minutes later, ringing a shot off the post or smoothly riding out an attacker into the corner. Once, T found himself on the wrong end of a Jim Cuddy spear. As T tells the story, the singer stood above him and asked, in so many words, whether the point of his stickblade could work in a pinch should he ever require an emergency tracheotomy. T replied, less eloquently, “Fuck off, fuck,” and rose to his feet, before striding in heavy drama to the bench. The situation so upset the young defenceman that, before leaving the rink, he threw his equipment and stick into a dumpster, which he later retrieved after bolting upright in the middle of the night, realizing what he’d done. T was working for the Barenaked Ladies when we first met in the hallways of Maple Leaf Gardens.

"Splendid Condition and Enormous 'Grit'": The pS orting "Other" and Canadian Identity Abstract Canadian identity is mutable, changing in response to outside influences. This phenomenon is especially apparent in sport. This paper focuses on the formation and maintenance of Canadian identity in sport. By connecting the 1867 Paris rowing crew, the 1972 Summit Series, and the 2019 NBA champion Toronto Raptors, this paper seeks to investigate how Canadian identity has been shaped through sport. Using newspaper articles, online editorials, and academic sources, this paper shows how integral the sporting “other” is to the Canadian identity.
