Although i never felt the courses in German would be of benefit, I can recall lots of times that it came in handy as we had a large population of elderly and retire German folks near my second office.
    The language requirement for Science majors has been eliminated at RPI since then.

    I don't recall that. I would have been eligible for French but would have steered away from it. As to Russian, I had the same reaction you did. The different alphabet would have caused me the same trouble as it did in Hebrew. Then again, a few months ago I translated a letter written by my great-great-grandmother to my great-great-grandfather supposedly in 1821, She had found out that day that she was promised in marriage to him, They had not met yet. The letter is not in Hebrew or Yiddish but in High German using the Hebrew alphabet. (I did cheat since I also have a transcription in old German script written by my great-grandfather, probably for the benefit of my grandfather and his siblings.) FWIW, here is the original https://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/r....asp?key=75219. I did not get a satisfactory answer to my question.

    Sorry for going even further off topic.

      Dr. D, where do you get all this information about betting favorites in college hockey games? At the casinos in Atlantic City?

      I never want to bet on an RPI hockey game. I've learned the hard way that any time I bet on a team that I root for, they lose.
      No sir - the information comes from what we here in NJ would call euphemistically a "private betting service". Jenny's Italian heritage has made for some very interesting connections in the past. Personally I am not a bettor and we have lived fairly close to Atlantic City for many years. I am more concerned with capital conservation (keeping what i worked so hard for) as opposed to attempts at appreciation. My only gambling involves investments on Wall Street. i consider that as a sort of educated wagering.
      BTW as i should mention, the odds and numbers I have been posting can change hour to hour and actually some times, minute to minute. There is not a lot of wagering done on hockey in general as the games are just too close for much of a point spread. The major betting is usually football and basketball - sports in which my expertise and interest is very little.

        This needs to be a week of solid practices pointing us towards a determined, workman-like effort this weekend.
        Agreed. Rivalry games can be unpredictable. Last year's sweep over Union is a good example.

          Here's Red Army's weekend preview http://redarmy.union.rpi.edu/?p=140 (change https to http). Need to bring our A-game, Union is going to come out with a purpose looking for their first win.

            BTW, there are still a good number of seats available for tonight's game in the upper levels, according to Union's ticketing website.https://unionathleticstickets.univer...t.aspx?cid=176 Looks like a sellout is unlikely.

              A very good performance tonight. Dominated the first two periods. RPI's aggressive forecheck was causing Union all kinds of problems, but then they backed off in the 3rd and Union got back into the game. Hansen made some good saves to keep Union close. Less good: there were two silly errors that almost cost RPI: a suicidial pass in front of RPI's own goal that was intercepted for Union's first goal, and then RPI had a goal waved off on review because a player skated offside on a *2-on-1*.

                    If Fridgen's players were all "bad", he did better with them than Seth did. As a matter of fact, Seth did jack with his own "good" players! Then, the "good" players bolted to the pros early!
                    I've been lost since 1989. I got a breakaway on a frozen river and have been skating ever since.

                        Yes, and the "good" players with the exception of Pirri never made it in the NHL. Damigo and Zalewski bailed early and are playing in Europe.

                        What's interesting is Riley and Burgess are both drafted and seniors and decided to stay for their final seasons under Smith, rather than go pro. Burgess is drafted by Ottawa and I'm sure he would've gotten a long look being that they are rebuilding but he decided to stay. And these are Seth recruits if I'm not mistaken but they are staying with Smith.

                        Apperts guys left very early, after Freshman and Sophomore seasons. Not sure why,I'm sure they had their reasons.

                                if you are going to leave after the first year or perhaps even the second, you really have to make sure the grass is truly greener where you are going (or the money is substantial). other than for Pirri, I am not so sure that has worked out for anyone else. leaving after the third year can make a lot more sense. Again the money has to be right but if it is, getting injured in a fourth year for a team that is not going to be nationally involved is a great risk.
