|Various ethnic Burmese and ethnic minority city-states or kingdoms occupied the present borders through the 19th century. Over a period of 62 years (1824-1886), Britain conquered Burma and incorporated the country into its Indian Empire. Burma was administered as a province of India until 1937 when it became a separate, self-governing colony; in 1948, Burma attained independence from the British Commonwealth. Gen. NE WIN dominated the government from 1962 to 1988, first as military ruler, then as self-appointed president, and later as political kingpin. In response to widespread civil unrest, NE WIN resigned in 1988, but within months the military crushed student-led protests and took power. Multiparty legislative elections in 1990 resulted in the main opposition party - the National League for Democracy (NLD) - winning a landslide victory. Instead of handing over power, the junta placed NLD leader (and 1991 Nobel Peace Prize recipient) AUNG SAN SUU KYI under house arrest from 1989 to 1995, 2000 to 2002, and from May 2003 to November 2010. In late September 2007, the ruling junta brutally suppressed protests over increased fuel prices led by prodemocracy activists and Buddhist monks, killing an unknown number of people and arresting thousands for participating in the demonstrations. In early May 2008, Burma was struck by Cyclone Nargis, which left over 138,000 dead and tens of thousands injured and homeless. Despite this tragedy, the junta proceeded with its May constitutional referendum, the first vote in Burma since 1990. Legislative elections held in November 2010, which the NLD boycotted and were considered flawed by many in the international community, saw the ruling Union Solidarity and Development Party garner over 75% of the contested seats. The national legislature convened in January 2011 and selected former Prime Minister THEIN SEIN as president. Although the vast majority of national-level appointees named by THEIN SEIN were former or current military officers, the government initiated a series of political and economic reforms leading to a substantial opening of the long-isolated country. These reforms included releasing hundreds of political prisoners, signing a nationwide cease-fire with several of the country's ethnic armed groups, pursuing legal reform, and gradually reducing restrictions on freedom of the press, association, and civil society. At least due in part to these reforms, AUNG SAN SUU KYI was elected to the national legislature in April 2012 and became chair of the Committee for Rule of Law and Tranquility. Burma served as chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) for 2014. In a flawed but largely credible national legislative election in November 2015 featuring more than 90 political parties, the NLD again won a landslide victory. Using its overwhelming majority in both houses of parliament, the NLD elected HTIN KYAW, AUNG SAN SUU KYI's confidant and long-time NLD supporter, as president. Burma's first credibly elected civilian government after more than five decades of military dictatorship was sworn into office on 30 March 2016.

Since the transition to a civilian government in 2011, Burma has begun an economic overhaul aimed at attracting foreign investment and reintegrating into the global economy. Economic reforms have included establishing a managed float of the Burmese kyat in 2012, re-writing the Foreign Investment Law in 2012 to allow more foreign investment participation, granting the Central Bank operational independence in July 2013, enacting a new Anti-corruption Law in September 2013, and granting licenses to nine foreign banks in 2014 and four more foreign banks in 2016. The government's commitment to reform, and the subsequent easing of most Western sanctions, led to accelerated growth in 2013 and 2014. In 2015, growth slowed because of political uncertainty in an election year, summer floods, and external factors, including China's slowdown and lower commodity prices. Burma's abundant natural resources, young labor force, and proximity to Asia's dynamic economies have attracted foreign investment in the energy sector, garment industry, information technology, and food and beverages. Pledged foreign direct investment grew from $4.1 billion in FY 2013 to $8.1 billion in FY 2014. Despite these improvements, living standards have not improved for the majority of the people residing in rural areas. Burma remains one of the poorest countries in Asia – approximately 26% of the country's 51 million people live in poverty. The previous government's isolationist policies and economic mismanagement have left Burma with poor infrastructure, endemic corruption, underdeveloped human resources, and inadequate access to capital, which will require a major commitment to reverse. The Burmese government has been slow to address impediments to economic development such as insecure land rights, a restrictive trade licensing system, an opaque revenue collection system, and an antiquated banking system. The newly elected government, led by AUNG SAN SUU KYI, will likely focus on accelerating agricultural productivity and land reforms, modernizing and opening the financial sector, and improving fiscal management.

I saw that you're the leader of the group greenies. Just thought that I'd bring it to your attention that hardly anybody ever comments to posts and hardly ever writes any posts. I think people in the group (including yourself need to be more concerned about what's going on in environment and economy. So far I have yet to really see that. And actually to be precise the last I went to look at the article posted, every single recent one is from me. Is that the definition of being concerned about our planet? If so maybe I should have a different perspective on life.

Calculation done using AVID, the command line version of DIVA-GIS. We are using the maximum temperature of the warmest month, the coldest temperature of the coldest month, the range between them, and the annual precipitation at the known specimen locations to develop a set of "rules", then plot the probability of meeting the rules at all points on the map.
This is not an exact science. Limited specimen locations, bias in the areas collected, and the abbreviated or estimated nature of the climate data (particularly the 2050 data) all result in improper estimations of occurrence. Treat these maps as rough estimates only.

The World Christian Lecture Series of Hope College will feature "Reshaping Lament: Music and the Way to Joy," a lecture-performance by Dr. Jeremy Begbie of Duke Divinity School, on Wednesday, Nov. 14, at 7:30 p.m. at Pillar Church.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Begbie will explore how music and lament have been very closely linked in history even as in today's church sung lament in worship is relatively rare. He will show how various forms of music—from blues to Baroque recitative, from Old English laments to Scottish keening—can deepen understanding and experience of what it means to say that the path to joy only comes through tears. The lecture will include performance at the piano as well as recorded music.
"Dr. Begbie embodies the rare wisdom and skills of both aesthetic sophistication and theological erudition. His ability to lecture on theological themes from the piano is one of those rare experiences that is unforgettable," said Dr. Trygve Johnson, who is the Hinga-Boersma Dean of the Chapel at Hope and whose office coordinates the lecture series. "The focus of this lecture will theologically explore from the piano how music theory can help us embrace and experience lament in such a way that it may move us towards a deeper joy."
Begbie is the inaugural holder of the Thomas A. Langford Research Professorship in Theology at Duke Divinity School and founding director of Duke Initiatives in Theology and the Arts.
He teaches systematic theology, and he specializes in the interface between theology and the arts. His particular research interest is the interplay between music and theology.
Begbie is also a Senior Member at Wolfson College, Cambridge, and an Affiliated Lecturer in the Faculty of Music at the University of Cambridge. Previously he has been Associate Principal at Ridley Hall, Cambridge, and Honorary Professor at the University of St. Andrews, where he directed the research project "Theology Through the Arts" at the Institute for Theology, Imagination and the Arts.
He is author of a number of books, including "Voicing Creation's Praise: Towards a Theology of the Art" (T&T Clark); "Theology, Music and Time" (CUP); and, most recently, "Resounding Truth: Christian Wisdom in the World of Music" (Baker/SPCK), which won the "Christianity Today" 2008 Book Award in the Theology/Ethics Category. He is a professionally trained and active musician, and has taught widely in the United Kingdom, North American and South Africa, specializing in multimedia performance-lectures.
The World Christian Lecture Series invites recognized Christian thinkers and practitioners who are leaders in their respective disciplines and areas of expertise to join with the Hope and Holland communities in exploring issues, themes and ideas that face Christians in the world. The annual series, which debuted in 2008 and is coordinated by the college's campus ministries office, features a mix of speakers that can include Christian scholars, artists, preachers, politicians, and industry and church leaders.
Pillar Church is located at 57 E. 10th St., between Ninth and 10th streets along College Avenue.

Google News Archive Search
28 September, 2010 at 8:58 am 1 comment
I have used Google News for some time, but only recently discovered Google News Archive Search – available at http://news.google.com.au/archivesearch/
An Advanced Archive Search allows you to select a particular date range. You can choose a particular publication (or even just enter the word 'Sydney', to check publications with that word in the title). Once you have the search results, a timeline lets you focus on the particular decade of interest.
I searched for "hay simpson" – an ancestor who played Ned Kelly (in the 1934 film When the Kellys Rode) and then was lost at sea when he tried to sail from Lord Howe Island to Sydney. Most of the results found were from The Sydney Morning Herald in the 1930s, reviews of performances and then the search for the missing yacht. However one article was from 2003, when Simpson's niece found a suitcase of film photographs during a renovation.
Another useful search was for all of the words scriven and cooperstown. My husband descends from the SCRIVEN family, and one of that family (Elizabeth SCRIVEN) married Alfred Corning CLARK of Cooperstown (son of the founder of the Singer Foundation) and I thought that family were likely to be well-reported in the press.
You don't need celebrity ancestors to find them mentioned in newspapers, and Google's News Archive Search is another way to find interesting background stories about family members.

Witherspoon and stars to attend LFF
Reese Witherspoon is headed to the capital, with her new film Wild among the big films premiering at the 2014 BFI London Film Festival.
The Oscar-winning Walk The Line actress has already been tipped for further awards for her performance as a woman who hiked 1,100 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail alone, in Jean-Marc Vallee's big-screen adaptation of Cheryl Strayed's memoir.
Mother-of-three Reese is expected to attend the film's European premiere, which will be the festival's May Fair Hotel gala.
Game Of Thrones star Kit Harington, Emily Watson and Dominic West will walk down the red carpet for the world premiere of First World War drama Testament Of Youth, based on Vera Brittain's memoir, while Mike Leigh will attend the festival's gala screening of Mr Turner, starring Timothy Spall as British artist JMW Turner.
Ansel Elgort and filmmaker Jason Reitman will be in town for the European premiere of comedy-drama Men, Women And Children, which features a racy voice-over by Emma Thompson, with Brendan Gleeson, singer Bjork and Alan Rickman also heading to the festival.
The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as codebreaker Alan Turing, will open this year's London Film Festival, while war drama Fury, featuring a star-studded cast led by Brad Pitt, will close the event.
This year's festival will screen 245 films, including 16 world premieres, nine international premieres and 38 European premieres.
The 58th BFI London Film Festival, in partnership with American Express, will run from October 8 to October 19.

Why Psychology?
Psychology is broadly defined as the scientific study of behavior and mind. What field of study could be more relevant for addressing everyday problems and challenges? Although Psychology quickly brings to mind the image of a therapist interacting with a distressed client, the field extends well beyond that scenario, into important research areas and questions that touch every aspect of our lives. The areas of specialization in psychology are as diverse as human behavior and mental experience and its applications are as rich and varied as the contexts in which we find ourselves every day. Consider the following questions:
These issues not only represent the range of areas that psychology investigates; they also happen to be the focus of teaching and research projects conducted by Psychology faculty here at the University of St. Thomas. The St. Thomas mission urges us to "think critically, act wisely, and work skillfully to advance the common good." The essence of each of these activities is thinking and action. What could be more relevant than a scientific analysis of human behavior and thought? Psychology is uniquely positioned as a discipline that not only trains its practitioners to think critically and apply knowledge skillfully; it also provides the background to understand the most critical components of that mission: thinking and action.

Teryl Price and Lisa Donaldson were recently named the Delaware Counselor of the Year at their respective grade levels by the Delaware School Counselor's Association.
Teryl Price and Lisa Donaldson say a great school counselor is someone who responds in a crisis, supports their co-workers and always puts students' emotional needs first.
They would know.
Price, who works at Brick Mill Elementary, and Donaldson, who works at Alfred G. Waters Middle School, were recently named the Delaware Counselor of the Year at their respective grade levels by the Delaware School Counselor's Association.
"I think this is the most awesome job in the world," said Price, who won her second counselor-of-the-year honor, having previously received the award in 2004 while working for the Brandywine School District. "I mean, I get hugs every day. What could be better than that?"
As the lone counselor at Brick Mill, Price meets with all first -graders at least once a week, leads classes for students in second through fifth grade every other week and holds a variety of individual and group counseling sessions on a daily basis.
"In the classroom setting, we talk about bullying, test taking, goal setting, the importance of positive attitudes and, even at this age, we're talking to the kids about how what they're learning in school relates to the jobs they would like to pursue – even if those careers are professional athlete or ballerina," she said. "The lunch groups are smaller and focused on dealing with the types of issues some students are facing, whether its divorce, the loss of a parent, or a family member being incarcerated."
Price, who graduated from Trinity College in Harford, Conn., with a bachelor's degree in religion, initially worked in marketing communications for E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. before earning her master's degree in education from the University of Delaware in 1995.
"I think I was born to work with kids," said Price, who spent 16 years in the Brandywine School District before coming to Brick Mill last fall. "I really think of myself as an educator first, and it's my job to empower students to take ownership of their academic progress, their interpersonal and family relationships and, ultimately, their destinies. So, for me, there is nothing better than when a student tells me I've helped them reach their goal."
Donaldson, a counselor at Waters Middle since 2008, said her best moments also include directly impacting students' lives.
"As a counselor, you hope you're giving the kids what they need to succeed, both in high school and in life," she said. "But, I also view myself as that person who helps connect parents and students to the school's support system so that everyone is on the same page and on board with advocating for what's best for a student."
Donaldson also works with classrooms, small groups and individuals on conflict resolution, communication skills, anger management, organization and study skills. But, this time of year, she's also working to prepare eighth-graders for the transition to high school.
"You try to prepare them by telling them what to expect and giving them the skills they need to be successful," said Donaldson, who was nominated for the middle school counselor of the year award by Meredith Middle School interventionist Janice Johnson and Altamese Burbage, her co-counselor at Waters Middle.
"Mrs. Donaldson goes above and beyond the call of duty to help the students, the staff and the community," Burbage said of her co-worker. "She's smart and she's proactive. She doesn't just wait for thing to happen."

Bulldogs look strong in 16-0 rout of Marshall
MHS Junior Danielle Baumgartner pitched 4 perfect innings and recorded 10 strikeouts as the Bulldogs beat the Marshall Owls 16-0, Wednesday night at Gallop Field.
"We like what we saw tonight," head coach Christina Gerber said after the game. "This was a great place to start the season."
The team looked equally strong behind the plate. Junior Ali Mudd led the Bulldogs off with a single to start a seven-run first inning in which the team used aggressive base running to capitalize on pitching errors from the Owls. Junior Abby Dick hit a bases-loaded, two-RBI single and Freshman Ashlee Woodruff hit a sacrifice ground-ball to score another run.
After a scoreless second inning, Junior Haley Test led the Bulldogs off in the third with a double deep to center. Test then scored on a single by Mudd. After advancing to third, Mudd scored on a sacrifice fly by Junior Karen Baker. Senior Madison White hit an RBI single and Dick scored batted in two more to bring the Mexico lead to 12.
After back-to-back singles by Woodruff and Test in the fourth inning, Baker hit a two-RBI triple before Baumgartner drove a two-run home run over the left field wall to end the game 16-0 on the mercy rule.
"It felt really awesome to hit a walk-off home run in the first game of the year," Baumgartner said. "All the girls did a really great job tonight and it was a fun way to start the season."
The win starts the Bulldogs at 1-0 (1-0 NCMC).
In junior varsity action, the Bulldogs were equally dominant, scoring 10 runs in the first inning and five in the second to beat the Owls 15-2. Freshman Kenzie Robnett and Sophomore Laura Fischer had two hits each while Freshman DJ Holman had one.
The Bulldogs return to action Sept. 3 at Kirksville.

You know, fathers are always full of sage advice and catchy phrases.
They gave it to us whether we wanted it or not.
That comes with being the family patriarch. Just like with Uncle Sam, rank does have its privileges. I'm the one who is enjoying giving the advice, now.
I heard my dad, the late Major Evans, say more than once, "Son, nothing comes free. There is always a price to pay."
That's as true now as it was 70 years ago. I'll prove it.
Mrs. Sam Marks had been teaching us Bible stuff in Sunday school class for a while and I was finally starting to get the hang of some of it.
Our latest lessons centered on the 10 Commandments. Most of 'em seem to make sense, but I was having a little trouble understanding just what "Thou shalt not covet" meant.
"It means that we should not wish for things our friends have," she said.
Boy, that one was tough to swallow, especially if what you were coveting was a genuine leather cowboy holster set.
Boy, I didn't see that one coming. I was downright blindsided by the comment.
"You act like girls didn't exist in your long ago 'Remember when' times," a faithful reader said.
Shucks, there were plenty of girls around when I was growing up, but I still preferred playing with Billy Pipkins.
No, I didn't have any sisters. As far as that goes, I was brotherless, too.
But, that's OK.
I had the next worst thing; three girl first cousins.
One thought crossed my mind when Mr. Charlie Caskey wheeled that big Ford into our driveway.
I didn't know why a police officer was at my house. But if I was involved, I'd probably get it as soon as Daddy gets home.
Mr. Charlie opened the back door of the sedan and out jumped good old Tiger, my beloved bulldog.
There was no such thing as a leash law. Nobody needed one, seeing how just about everybody in the neighborhood had a big old dog that ran loose. That's why Mr. Charlie knew exactly where Tiger lived.
The front yards along Chesterfield Avenue were for show.
The back yards – where stuff was stacked out of the sight – were by design.
However, each spring, one portion of our back yards was set aside and marked off for vegetable gardens.
And it was serious business, too. Babbit and Castello even hoed one in the cartoon that was at the old show.
President Roosevelt was on the radio encouraging all of us to do our part by investing in a Victory Garden to reduce the pressure on the World War II food supply.
I had pulled my Radio Flyer wagon all the way from Chesterfield Avenue and down White Street to the back of Parr Brothers Furniture only to be disappointed.
I needed about one side of a cardboard refrigerator carton to finish my secret hideout, but it won't get finished today.
Somebody had beaten me to the treasure; the trash bin was empty as a red clay mudhole in the middle of summer.
– Editor's note: Due to reader requests, we are reprinting this Remember When column, which was originally published in the May 13, 2007, edition of The Lancaster News.
Time never dulls the luster of a mother's love. I rarely addressed my mother – the late Azalee Scott Evans – by the so-called proper name of mother.
She was, and still remains, Mama to me.
She passed away in 1970 at the age of 63.
I was grateful to see warmer weather and the yellow bells and azaleas in bloom. Things were going pretty good until the telephone rang.
Then I was shaken back into reality with the news that a close friend had passed away.
Then almost without warning, three more unexpected deaths reduced my circle of longtime friends.
Someone once remarked that when we pass the age of 65, we began to live on borrowed time.
Frankly, I'm hoping that our Maker will grant me a few more years of leniency on that loan.
The question caught me by surprise.
"Where's your little friend?"
I looked up to see this fella sitting on the stoop of a house in my granddaughter's neighborhood.
I was shocked. To be honest, not too many folks up here in Maryland speak to strangers.
I stopped to explain that I was taking a day off from my usual great-grand baby sitting chores.
"I sorta got the whole day to bum around," I said.
I recently crossed paths with an old friend while going inside "the Walmarts," where Lancaster's movers and shakers meet these days.
And right off the cuff, he called me a city boy.
That was bad enough, but he didn't stop there.
It really made the hair on the back of my neck stand up when he said, "According to your articles in the paper, all you do is go to grammar school and build them cardboard airplanes."

Heaven knows I've made blunders like that, but I looked again, and it looks to me as if it's about 58% bonds at age 65. But "more aggressive than the aggressive curve" is being unreasonably over-precise, let's just say it's near the aggressive end of the range.john94549 wrote:Nisi, maybe I'm mis-reading the chart, but for a 65 year old, isn't 60/40 "aggressive" (not "more aggressive" than "aggressive"). Perhaps you meant "more aggressive than moderate"?
Well, that's the thing about investing enthusiasts of any stamp. They like to talk about direction rather than magnitude, because the magnitude differences are too small to take seriously. But, they say, "it's HIGHER! Which would you like, more money, or less money?" And then of course they take the tiny difference and compound it out for thirty years. And, yes, I think that applies to costs as well. The difference between a Vanguard 0.10% ER and a Fidelity Freedom 0.75% ER is minuscule compared hundreds of random life events, like spending nine years in grad school (me) versus six.steve r wrote:My spreadsheet for 41 years (72 to 12) using Simba data ... the steepness of the efficiency frontier is not that impressiveKulak wrote:S&P breaks 1500 and suddenly we're talking 100% stocks again. I've seen this show before! ... Next week ... leverage. Why not ... interest rates are at historic lows.
Oh, it's fine as long as you cranked in the phonus-balonus first. It's only data mining if you actually peek at the results and they come out wrong so you change the portfolio or the endpoints after peeking.(ok ... I data mined ... LTT did great during this period ... I excluded emerging markets which did great ... who knows the future, both these assets will probably do worse in the next 41 years than the last 41 years ... particularly LTT ... again, who knows) ... that said, the risk reduction from bonds is likely to stay.
(And yes, I think people do that. I really do think that people used to say "EAFE adds hugely beneficial diversification," and then when the results started to come out wrong they pretended they'd never said that and just did a switcheroo to "International including emerging markets." And that when "small" came out wrong they pretended they'd never really claimed there was a small-company effect and made a switcheroo to small value. And from "value" to "value ex-utilities." Just like the people who believe in the Hindenburg omen keep refining and changing the definition, so that the current definition is always highly predictive of the past even though past definitions weren't.)

Hi Kat. Welcome to the Work It, Mom! community. Congrats on being the mom to your formerly-preemie twins. That's quite an accomplishment in itself. Sounds like you could use a little support at times and, trust me, we are here to encourage you.
PS, I just checked out your blog and I see you also read that push present NY Times article. I just posted a question about that in the Talk section. Maybe you could weigh in over there with your opinion!

The Florida Marlins will host the New York Mets in three Major League Baseball games at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, Puerto Rico June 28 - 30, MLB and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) announced today. The three-game set in Puerto Rico will be part of the 2010 MLB Championship Season and will be home games for the Florida Marlins.
Individual and group ticket sales for the three games series go on sale this Saturday, March 20th at 10AM ET through MLB.com, the official website of Major League Baseball, and Ticketpop (ticketpop.com or 787-294-0001). Individual tickets range in price from $13.00 to $100.00. MB Sports will serve as the promoter for the games, continuing a relationship with Major League Baseball in Puerto Rico that has included hosting regular season games as well as special events like the World Baseball Classic.
June 28, 7:05 p.m. EDT, New York Mets at Florida Marlins June 29, 7:05 p.m., New York Mets at Florida Marlins June 30, 7:05 p.m., New York Mets at Florida Marlins
Major League Baseball Goodwill Ambassador Vera Clemente will attend the games celebrating her native Puerto Rico and promoting the importance of courage and character, the values displayed by her late husband, Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente. Vera Clemente was named Major League Baseball's Goodwill Ambassador in 2009 for her work with youth in Puerto Rico and other Latin American countries.
"Major League Baseball is thrilled to bring regular season games back to Puerto Rico," said Paul Archey, Senior Vice President, International Business Operations, Major League Baseball. "The growth of baseball around the globe has been tremendous and we hope that by providing Major League competition to the passionate fans in Puerto Rico and around the world, we will encourage interest and participation well into the future."
"Play in Puerto Rico is always exciting. Fans there are among the most enthusiastic in the world," said Gene Orza, Chief Operating Officer, Major League Baseball Players Association. "The Association is pleased to participate in putting on these games, and I'm sure the players will be received with the same appreciation and hospitality that the people of Puerto Rico always have shown them in the past."
"The celebration of this series between the Marlins and the Mets in Puerto Rico brings the Puerto Rican fans the opportunity to transmit their passion for baseball to the new generations," said Vera Clemente, MLB Goodwill Ambassador.
"Hosting games in Puerto Rico is a natural fit for us as we prepare to move into our new ballpark in 2012 in Miami, the Gateway to the Americas," said David Samson, President, Florida Marlins. "We are excited to return to Puerto Rico to bring Marlins baseball to our fans there."
"The Mets are delighted to return to Puerto Rico and partner with MLB, the Players Association and the Marlins in bringing professional baseball to fans around the world," said Dave Howard, Executive Vice President, Business Operations, New York Mets. "We have players on our roster from seven countries with five hailing from Puerto Rico, and we're looking forward to the electricity that will fill the stadium when they step on to the field."
"We are happy to once again host Major League Baseball in San Juan," said Ana Muñoz, Vice-President, MB Sports. "We know these games are going to be exciting for local fans and for the fans that will visit the island in June."
Both the Marlins and Mets franchises have international playing experience. Each Club traveled to San Juan, Puerto Rico when Hiram Bithorn Stadium became the part-time home of the Montreal Expos in 2003 and 2004.
The New York Mets participated in the first-ever MLB regular season games held internationally, having played the San Diego Padres in Monterrey, Mexico in 1996. The Mets also have the distinction of playing in the first season opener in Japan in Major League history when they played the Chicago Cubs in 2000 at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan. This was the first time in Major League history that a regular season game was played outside of North America.
Hiram Bithorn Stadium hosted MLB's Opening Day game in 2001 when the Toronto Blue Jays faced off against the Texas Rangers. The stadium was used as one of the venues for Round One and Round Two of the 2006 World Baseball Classic as well as a Round One venue for the 2009 tournament. Additionally, a number of Major League teams have used Hiram Bithorn Stadium for spring training games.
