The reputation of the University at Buffalo is being contaminated by the shale-gas drilling industry. The University should re-evaluate their sponsorship of the new Shale Resources and Society Institute.

The report is no longer available at the “peer reviewed research” link provided above:

It’s hard for me to put into words how important this is. From the viewpoint of a student at UB, it’s always been hard to impossible to obtain any information for projects. That barrier easily deters people that care about the community from trying to work on local issues. We’re talking about students that aren’t going to be around long, too. They have a problem, they’ll find something else to do. I hope that someday we’ll be able to provide students and everyone else an easy path to research and possibly even outright fix some of our local issues. I don’t even know where to start with helping to drive this, but I’m willing to help. Please and thank you.

Dear WNYMediaNet,

Just b/c it’s on the Internet, don’t mean y’all gotta Tweet it. Get quality control on this shit.

To the commentator here: Thanks for your words about Abdi. They would have been hugely more poignant had they had not been bookended by your own interests. Still, absolutely fine job at commenting. On a 10-year-old’s beating death. I’m totally worried about your protein intake while you work the P90X, BTW. Also, you’re 3 years behind on the latest fitness craze. And a 1,000,000 years behind on the empathy craze.

Comment on China’s Terracotta Warriors by Name Shibumi

Name Shibumi — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 22:57:25 +0000

Twelve years of research in libraries and archives and consulting with authorities in various fields, has brought new insights into several remarkable myths and mysteries.

It all began with reading Sun Tzu: The Art of War, allegedly written by an army general from Chinese antiquity. Except that there is no verifiable evidence that there ever was a General Sun Tzu, and as a careful reading of The Art of War shows, it is not at all about war. The title is in fact a mistranslation of Ping-fa, a 2300 year-old expression that means The Art of Diplomacy.

Cracking The Art of War code requires a Rosetta Stone. It is the Tao Te Ching, written around the same time as Ping-fa.

With these understandings in hand we then explore the date of creation of these works and the use to which they were applied.
We discover more evidence than can be ignored that these works, and many others, were the product of learned academies in a small pre-Chinese kingdom called “Qin.” And it is no coincidence that Qin – as all the histories agree – ended the period of the Warring States and founded the first empire of China. Remarkably, Qin did it with intelligence, not armament.

Despite significant evidence, the histories agree that Qin battled and bludgeoned its way to victory.

The hero of these endeavours was China’s first emperor – Qin Shi Huangdi, a remarkable person who established an academic and technical community in Qin that defined benchmarks in many fields. But today, he is remembered as a tyrant who burned books, buried scholars alive, and who wasted resources and lives in such ego-driven projects as the Great Wall. These “remembrances” are inventions.

China’s first emperor discovered how one successfully manages organizations, and relations between organizations without loss, and without conflict. With the Chinese empire established, he constructed a massive terra cotta army (at Xian) as a memorial to the end of war. This new wonder of the world is imagined to be an army the emperor created to accompany him to heaven.

These remarkable stories, and what Qin’s discoveries suggest for contemporary inter-personal, inter-organizational and international relations are spelled out in The School of Sun Tzu. This fascinating read by Canadian author David G. Jones is available from iuniverse.com and Amazon.com
