His hobbies included music, juggling, cooking, and drawing. Li' s close friends describe him as an incredibly intelligent, introspective young man with an ter- rific sense of humor and a profound generosity. Vijay Divi '02 said Li was extremely motivated and an excellent role model. "He did more after he left MIT than many people will do in a lifetime," said Divi, describing Li's continual pursuit of knowl- edge even at home. Daniel Kwon '02 remembered Li's enthusiasm for Aeronautics and Astronautics, his intended major at MIT. "I know his spirit, his joys and hopes, all his hope of the future, are still alive and kicking," Kwon said. Li was as concerned' for his friends and family as they were for him, recalled Yuval Mazor '02. "He was always telling us how hard we were working and how happy he was that we were doing so much. What we were doing was so much less than he was doing, but he saw it the other way," Mazor said. Li's battle against leukemia was one of the catalysts for the MIT Bone Marrow Drive and Rally for Life held last year in November. This drive, aimed at matching leukemia patients in ethnic minorities with possible bone marrow donors, was one of the most successful events of its kind in Institute history. Of the nearly 700 MIT partici- pants, however, a complete match for Li could not be found. A letter from Li was read at the rally, urging people to be regis- tered as a bone marrow donor. "Don't do this for me, because chances are very slim that you'll be a match for me, but do this for your sense of charity and humanity," Li said. nORlS KOZJNSKY Li is survived by his father Yao Sun Li, his mother, Ling Pi Li, Rohit Shanna, Chief Technology OffIcer for ONI Systems, kicked off the MIT $50K Competition and his sister, Amy Li. with a talk on Wednesday night on how to start a business.

NFL Betting: Is the Market Efficient? By Mathew Marino A Thesis Submitted to Department of Economics Skidmore College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the B.A Degree Thesis Advisor: Qi Ge May 2, 2017 1 Abstract The Purpose of this research paper is to analyze the NFL point spread and Over/Under betting market and determine if it follows the efficient market hypothesis. This research paper uses data from armchairanalysis.com for the 2000 NFL season through the 2015 NFL season including playoffs. I use OLS and probit regressions in order to determine NFL betting market efficiency for the point spread betting market and the Over/Under betting market. The results indicate, that as a whole, the NFL betting market appears to be efficient. However, there may be behavioral tendencies that can be taken advantage of in order to make consistent betting profits. 2 I. Introduction According to Statista.com (2015), the sports gambling market has been estimated to be worth between $700 billion and $1 trillion, but the exact size is difficult to measure because it is not legal everywhere.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE' INTRODUCTION The 1990's has been a decade of labor strife between ownership and players in professional football, basketball and baseball. Television revenues, advertising dollars and licensing agreements now have enormous ramifications as the popularity of professional sports has reached an all-time high worldwide. This rise in popularity in the United States and abroad has brought with it a substantial increase in the amount of money earned by professional sports franchises, and subsequently, the money paid to the professional athletes who play for them. Numerous strikes, lockouts and court battles have been waged as the parties jockey for control of those dollars.

  • Pipeline to the Pro's
    Pipeline to the Pro’s by M. J. Duberstein NFLPA Director of Research April 2001 Pipeline to the Pro’s offers prospective NFL players a head start as they seek to make the transition from the college to the professional ranks and is directed at them. You should have three main objectives during college: * Stay in school and get a degree, an accomplishment that pays dividends both in and after an NFL career; * Don’t make a foolish move and declare too early for the NFL Draft; * Select the right agent, a procedure that should and can be postponed as long as possible. It’s vital you have some background about the NFL itself and why it’s a mega-entertainment business: * The NFL remains the most popular team sport; * That popularity translated into a broadcasting rights contract for the 1998 through 2005 seasons worth over $2,200,000,000 a season--more than $17,600,000,000 overall; * And that TV revenue is only part of league income that should top $4,500,000,000 in the 2001 season--of which the players’ share will be over $3,100,000,000 for salaries and benefits. The average NFL salary is over $1,000,000. (For detailed information about NFL salaries and salary trends, see the Economics Primer in the Research Documents pages of nflpa.org.) Based on (1) those huge TV rights fees, (2) league expansion to 32 clubs for the 2002 season, and (3) new and larger stadiums coming on-line, the players’ guaranteed share of league revenues should expand rapidly enough that the average salary could double by as soon as 2005 and the average starter would then be making more than an estimated $2,300,000 a season.

  • With Many African American Quarterbacks Achieving Success In
    FULL TEXT DOCUMENT PHILADELPHIA, PA.-----With many African American Quarterbacks achieving success in the Pee Wee, Scholastic, College, and Professional ranks and with the retirements of the first wave of prominent African American Quarterbacks (James Harris, Doug Williams, Warren Moon, Randall Cunningham, and others), I felt that reviewing the history of these men and the pioneers before them was needed. History has shown that the journey of the African American QB was not an easy one, but when given the opportunity these men thrived in a system that was sometimes stacked against them. African American Quarterbacks are now in 2005, no longer an anomaly and are thriving. There has even been debate that Warren Moon with his gaudy statistics and winning ways in the Canadian Football League (CFL) and National Football League (NFL) has the credentials to be the first Full Time African American Quarterback inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which I know will create an interest in this topic. If Moon is fortunate enough to make it into the Hall of Fame, this would be a testament to himself and his predecessors at the position. African American Quarterbacks in their history have been shunned, converted to other positions, fought for inclusion, stereotyped (Drastic Misconceptions about the Leadership and Intelligence of African American Quarterbacks) and chased opportunities in other leagues, but they have persevered to go from an Unwanted Oddity to Flourishing leaders. Their extensive history is documented below: Early Years (1890’s – 1946) The first mention of African Americans playing football was in a College Football game played on November 23, 1892 (Thanksgiving) between historically black colleges Biddle (Later Johnson C.
