Over the years, she hand-made sliding shoji Like most local Japanese American community events, the festival featured not just a screens for window coverings and taught shodo, or calligraphy. She still does shodo, getting her brush strokes critiques by a master in New York.

  • Heroes and Rallies Baseball
    Heroes and Rallies Baseball Setup Pick two teams to go head to head, and fill out your lineups on the scoresheet. Each team receives 8 skill assignments to give to individual players. All of the skill assignments listed below must be used within your starting lineup for a total of 8. A player may possess two assignments if you wish. Rate your lineup by placing the appropriate notation beside a player’s name on the scoresheet. 1) star hitter (H) 2) star slugger (S) 3) star runner (R) 4) star fielder (F) 5) poor hitter (H-) 6) weak hitter (S-) 7) slow runner (R-) 8) poor fielder (F-) Once a player has a skill assignment, he cannot transfer it to another player. There is one additional skill assignment available for an ace pitcher (X). You may, however, choose not to start one. Make any pitcher a poor hitter as well (H-), so there will be two poor hitters if a pitcher is in the lineup. Game Play Roll the dice for each player who comes up to bat, reading the colored die first and the white die second. If a result occurs on the Batting chart which displays an image of a ballplayer, the inning is considered finished with no further scoring. Draw an X in the box on the scoresheet representing the current hitter’s at-bat. When his team next comes up to bat, the next player in the lineup will hit. If the color of a chart result corresponds to the color of the skill assignment of the player who is currently up to bat, the result changes to the one shown on the bottom of the Batting chart.

Casey Duncan* INTRODUCTION In 1998 U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) entered into an agreement with Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) league governing the transaction of non-free agent players be- tween the two leagues. This United States-Japanese Player Contract Agreement, also known as "The Posting System Agreement" (Posting System) is designed to regulate such inter- national player transactions and to protect the interests of both leagues. While the Posting System has had some initial success, recent developments make its long-term success as a solution suspect. It is the purpose of this note to examine critically the Posting System in light of these developments, and to suggest possible changes to better effectuate its goals and protect the in- terests of both leagues and their players.
