	Faculty Profile
		Holdouts are buildings or parcels of land owned or leased by parties unwilling to relinquish them to a developer who has amassed a significantly greater sum total of adjacent or surrounding parcels.
		A holdout is typically disproportionately diminutive relative to an otherwise uncontested assemblage of properties that would be available for a totalizing, consistent, or coherent redevelopment if it were not for the holdout.
		The presumption is that the architect as catalyst is supplanted by the holdout.

	Before the Flying Tigers
		The invasion of Manchuria by Imperial Japanese Army units in September 1931 added impetus to the strengthening of the Chinese Air Force, not least because the Japanese attack put an end to a civil war between factions based in Nanking and Canton.
		Japanese troops assaulted the Chinese 19th Route Army near Shanghai, and it was during this period that Short was shot down and killed.
		The main flying school never came under Japanese air attack, but it was once thought to be seriously threatened by the aircraft of the forces loyal to the rebel Fukien warlord.

	Target Centermass » Hoax Suspected in WWII Holdout Story (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		There’s increasing speculation the story of two Japanese soldiers hiding out in the Philippines since later days of World Wars II may be fiction.
		About 100 Japanese journalists descended on the southern port city of General Santos, where the diplomats were staying, creating a security headache in a violent region where Muslim and Communist guerrillas and kidnaper gangs flourish.
		The men - who would now be in their 80s - were said to have been separated from the 30th Division of the Imperial Japanese Army and stayed in the remote mountains on Mindanao island for fear of being court-martialed at home for leaving their unit.

	alternative modernity
		For example, the Japanese language (like several other Asian languages) requires one to choose pronouns, verb forms and forms of address which reflect differences in age, gender and status that might be signified only tacitly, for example by dress, in the West.
		But the Japanese concern with aesthetics is not opposed to the formal rationality of the game; it realizes another immanent dimension of it, the essential dependence of the players exemplified in the thrust and parry of struggle.
		In this context, Japanese culture is not an irrational intrusion but rather differs by its emphasis on different aspects of technical rationality which, as we have seen, includes self-realization and aesthetics as well as the narrow pursuit of success ethnocentrically identified with it in the West.

	The Becker-Posner Blog: June 2005
		The Japanese system where employees past age 60 sometimes work for lower pay at the same company that had employed them would not be possible in the United States and some other countries because of legislation that prohibits alleged discrimination against older workers.
		The Japanese intrinsically face a tougher retirement problem than most other member nations of the OECD since they have one of the lowest birth rates in the world, the oldest life expectancy, and virtually no immigration.
		It seems that Japanese employers have devised a system of staged retirement--partial at 60, with an appropriately small pension because the employee is continuing to work, albeit at a reduced salary to reflect his reduced productivity, and full at (about) 69.

	CNN.com - Hodout states modify settlement plan - Mar. 4, 2002
		The holdout states on Monday filed a modified version of their alternative proposal, arguing that Microsoft should not be allowed to offer any so-called "middleware" that is bound to its Windows operating system software unless it also offers and supports a version of windows that is "unbound."
		On Monday, the holdout states said under their modified proposal, Microsoft would have to sell just one "modular" Windows version from which software features such as Internet browsers, media players and instant messengers could be removed, eliminating any confusion.
		The holdout states' modifications come just four days after Microsoft and the Justice Department modified their proposed settlement of the case, hoping to mollify critics who said the deal contained loopholes that would enable the company to infringe on PC makers' patents.

		Any disputes arising during the course of the proceeding would be adjudicated in the Japanese courts or, alternatively, by a Japanese tribunal specifically given jurisdiction over such disputes.
		This minimizes the moral hazard problem that the Japanese municipalities that anticipate central government support might have less reason to take a prudent economic course and be less cautious in incurring debt and that its creditors that expect protection from the consequences of default might be less prudent in making their credit analysis.
