	Improved Condorcet Approval - Electowiki
		Improved Condorcet Approval or ICA or tCA is a variant of Condorcet//Approval devised by Kevin Venzke which preserves approval voting's compliance with the favorite betrayal criterion.
		ICA satisfies the favorite betrayal criterion by treating voters ranking x and y equally at the top as attempting to create a pairwise tie between the two candidates.
		This creates problems with the favorite betrayal criterion (or the Sincere Favorite criterion) since it could happen that the 35 A=B voters are preventing either A or B from being the decisive winner, and that in trying to support both equally, the win is instead moved to the approval winner, who might be someone worse.

	Aneesh Partap (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		As she "deconstructs" the culture's relation to aspects of the misery and helplessness, Faludi specifically concludes that a "betrayal" of culture lies at the root of the problems.
		Her use of crime statistics, one of her favorite methods of analysis, ignores the complexities that criminologists have found in crime such as socioeconomic factors and the availability of certain drugs.
		The supposed result of the great "Betrayal" is a culture of "ornaments" in which people pursue money, status, and attractiveness whereas, in the past, males would dedicate their lives for the good of the community.

	the case against Borda (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		There is a criterion for voting methods known as independence of clones, which Borda fails spectacularly.
		This criterion essentially says that it should be neither an advantage or a disadvantage to a given viewpoint if it is represented by a group of similar candidates rather than one single candidate.
		The dilemma between supporting a sincere favorite and a compromise candidate cannot always be resolved, and often leaves the voter in a state of uncertainty.

	RangeVoting.org - survey of FBC (Favorite-Betrayal Criterion)
		FBC is a very basic criterion to make democracy work well.
		Strong Defensive Strategy Criterion (SDSC): If more than half of the voters prefer X to Y, then they should have a way of voting that ensures that Y won't win, without their having to reverse a preference, or fail to vote all of their sincere preferences among those candidates whom they vote over other candidates.
		The reason MDDA obeys FBC is that, although this betrayal works, it is not the only thing that works – non-betrayal strategies also work.

	Favorite Betrayal criterion - Electowiki
		For any voter who has a unique favorite, there should be no possible set of votes cast by the other voters such that the voter can optimize the outcome (from his own perspective) only by voting someone over his favorite.
		Election methods that meet this criterion provide no incentive for voters to betray their favorite candidate by voting another candidate over him or her.
		An interpretation of this criterion applied to votes as cast is the Sincere Favorite criterion.

	Election methods and criteria
		Condorcet methods satisfy the Condorcet criterion, which says that if there is a candidate who could beat any other candidate in a one-on-one election (i.e., if there is a candidate who "pairwise beats" every other candidate), this candidate must be elected.
		This difference in definition is what permits the method to satisfy the Sincere Favorite criterion: Lowering a candidate from the top rank can't cause another top rank candidate to pairwise beat the lowered candidate, because "tied at the top" rankings are counted as votes for each side over the other.
		The Plurality criterion says that C must be elected with no greater probability than A. If C is elected, it could be viewed as an obvious mistake, as there is no way to adjust the ballots voting for C so that there are as many C first preferences as A first preferences.

	The Criterion Collection: Notorious
		In Notorious, a brilliant allegory of love and betrayal, Hitchcock fuses two of his favorite elements: suspense and romance.
		A beautiful woman with a tainted past (Ingrid Bergman) is enlisted by American agent Devlin (Cary Grant) to spy on a ring of Nazis in post-war Rio.
		As they have shown time and time again, Criterion keeps setting new standards in the realm of special editions for films nearly sixty years of age.

	Anime.com March 2002: Jin-Roh, Princess Mononoke, and Transformers
		Set in medieval Japan, Miyazaki's original story envisions a struggle between nature and man. The march of technology, embodied in the dark iron forges of the ambitious Tatara clan, threatens the natural forces explicit in the benevolent Great God of the Forest and the wide-eyed, spectral spirits he protects.
		At its heart, the tale of the Transformers is a simple one: living mechanical beings from the planet Cybertron are engaged in a civil war, with heroic Autobots warring against the evil Decepticons.
		Criterion has done a nice job packaging this title as it includes little gems like trailers for 11 of Woo's Hong Kong films and even a student film by John Woo.

		In a culture that mandates conformity, here was a filmmaker who giddily broke all of the rules, who thumbed his nose at authority and who willingly sacrificing his career to maintain the purity of his artistic vision.
		And so Suzuki became a cult favorite, and that cult grew large enough that today, at least among film cognoscenti, Suzuki is recognized as one of Japan's greatest filmmakers.
		Suzuki, in the Criterion interview, says that his films don't have any particular meaning, that they were merely intended as entertainment and that his stylistic flourishes were just part of the fun, a way to keep surprising the viewer.

	Strategy Criteria:

		Unanimously Unpreferred Candidate Criterion (UUCC): First let me introduce the situations that UUCC applies to: With Plurality, there could be a longtime corrupt incumbant, Xc, who has, over the years, established goo quid-pro-quo relations with his backers.

		Finally two special features about the soundtrack which are an audio interview with the composer, Miklos Rozsa, and an NPR broadcast about the theremin, which is the signature musical instrument used in the soundtrack.

	Q&A by John J. Miller with Roger Kimball on National Review Online
		As managing editor of The New Criterion and a frequent contributor to National Review, he wages constant warfare against left-wing cultural politics.
		That is not an entirely satisfactory criterion — it is too "external" to be entirely convincing — but it does get at least one important element in the matter of artistic reputation: namely that we need to temper our present enthusiasms with the sobriety of time.
		We aim to do both at The New Criterion, and we aim to do it from a perspective that is cultivated, tonic, and robustly conservative.

	The Criterion Contraption: #55: The Unbearable Lightness of Being
		The back of the Criterion edition of The Unbearable Lightness of Being refers to the movie as "the screen version of Milan Kundera's 'unfilmable' novel." The Unbearable Lightness of Being isn't the most unfilmable novel ever written, but it's pretty damn impossible to imagine it on film while you're reading it.
		That's the most explicit example I can think of; on a purely subjective level, though, I'd say everything from 2001 to Bergman's Winter Light to freakin' Crimes And Misdemeanors were, if perhaps not explicitly "about philosophy", heavily dependent on philosophical ideas or debates for their impact, and all the better for it.
		My favorite in the philosophical but not really philosophy genre is Python's Meaning of Life.

		There are several films in their collection by directors that are less well known (The Blob, The Vanishing), and there might be a few movies that are worse (The Rock springs to mind), but out of the 150 or so films that they’ve selected to this point, this is clearly their least interesting choice.
		When he confronts his chief (Ned Beatty), he starts talking tough, and the switch in his persona seems a betrayal of the character that has been built up to that point.
		It soon becomes apparent, however, that this is par for the course in Hopscotch, where characters often change their attitudes to fit the demands of the silly plot.

		The Criterion Collection's high standards of scholarly excellence are on full display in the two-disc set of Ugetsu, packaged in an elegant slipcase reflecting the tonal beauty of the film itself, which has been fully restored with a high-definition digital transfer.
		My favorite scene is where the potter and Lady Mikasa are having what looks like a picnic by the sea.
		One of my favorite qualities of Ugetsu is the genre-defying elements in the story - suspense, adventure, period-drama, supernatural horror - and how skillfully Mizoguchi's refined and unforgettable visual style ties it all together.

		But certainly, to arrive at the appropriate answers, one must agree beforehand on the criteria by which the comparison between modern and ancient or mediaeval civilizations is to be made.
		If we start from the criterion of moderation, which the religions of all these ancient civilizations taught, it is clear that in ancient times the maxim of moderation in all things protected not only nature from the onslaughts of humankind, but humanity as well.
		In this context, the aspiration to clone living beings, to clone humans, is a direct betrayal of the criterion of moderation.

		Although the film is slow to establish its story, it's clear that Kurosawa, who planned and painstakingly designed the production for 10 years before filming began, was charting a meticulous and tightly formalized dramatic strategy.
		As familial tensions rise and betrayal sends Lord Hidetora into the throes of escalating madness, Ran (the title is the Japanese character for "chaos" or "rebellion") reaches a fever pitch through epic battles and a fortress assault that is simply one of the most amazing sequences on film.
		The story is of a Warlord who wants to slow down in old age and give the reins of leadership to his oldest son.
