    The Boston Red Sox Friday, November 15, 2019 * The Boston Globe Xander Bogaerts finishes fifth in American League MVP race Julian McWilliams Xander Bogaerts finished fifth in American League MVP Award voting, the highest of his career. The Red Sox shortstop was 13th in 2013. Bogaerts hit .309 with a career-high 33 homers and 117 RBIs. Bogaerts tied Nomar Garciaparra for the most extra-base hits in a season by a Red Sox shortstop (85). Garciaparra did it in 1997 and 2002. Bogaerts’s 117 RBIs were the most in a season by a Red Sox shortstop since Garciaparra had 120 in 2002. Bogaerts was just the third shortstop in MLB history with at least a .300 batting average, 85 extra-base hits, and 115-plus RBIs. The others are Alex Rodriguez, in 1996 with the Mariners and 2001 and 2002 with the Texas, and Garciaparra. Bogaerts finished behind the Yankees’ DJ LeMahieu, who pulled in 10 fourth-place votes to Bogaerts’s six. Mookie Betts was eighth, Rafael Devers 12th, and J.D. Martinez was tied for 21st in AL voting. MLB speaks with Alex Cora as it investigates Astros’ sign-stealing Peter Abraham and Alex Speier SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Red Sox manager Alex Cora is one of the key figures into Major League Baseball’s investigation of the Houston Astros, an appraisal that goes beyond charges of sign stealing in 2017. Cora, who was bench coach of the Astros in 2017, has spoken to officials charged with determining to what degree Houston flouted rules against using cameras to pick up signs from opposing catchers.

MIDWAY ATOLL – Distinguished visitors and more than 1,500 guests of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, International Midway Memorial Foundation and the U.S. Pacific Fleet, assembled on Midway Atoll, June 4, to commemorate the 65th anni- versary of the Battle of Midway. “We‟re gathered here today at one of the most re- mote and special places on earth. Midway, is where the course of history was changed,” said the Honorable Linda Lingle, Governor of Hawaii. The Battle of Midway was fought June 4 – 7, 1942, and served as a turning point in the Pacific during World War II. “No one knew it at the time, but the tide of war in the Pacific had turned because of the heroism and sheer determination of those who fought on June 4, 1942,” said Dr. James M. D’Angelo, president and chairman, International Midway Memorial Foundation. “It‟s not hard to imagine what we would‟ve heard if we‟d have been here this day 65 years ago.

    Branding snowboarding lifestyle A case study of Burton Snowboards’ brand narrative of gender equity Laura Muukka Department of Media Studies / Centre for Fashion Studies MA Thesis 30 credits Spring 2018 Supervisors: Dr. Andrea Kollnitz and Dr. Philip Warkander Abstract The purpose of this thesis was to find out how snowboarding lifestyle and gender equity are visible in Burton Snowboards’ branding on their Instagram accounts as well as in their retail stores. Thus, the research questions were “How is (snowboarding) lifestyle and gender equity visible in Burton Snowboards’ branding on their Instagram accounts and in their retail stores?” and also, “How does branding differ in the two accounts and in the four stores?” The theory part of this thesis looks into consumer theories, such as branding and marketing communication. Also, the theory part concentrates on theories from social sciences mainly from the point of view of gender studies. In addition, the study is deepened by theoretical connections that are relevant for the overall research. The empirical part of the thesis is a qualitative study, which was carried out by mixing two different research methods. First, an extensive visual analysis of Burton Snowboards and Burton Girls Instagram accounts was conducted. Secondly, in-store observations were carried out in four different Burton Stores, three of them in the USA and one in Finland. Based on the findings of the study, Burton Snowboards’ is advancing gender equity by building and developing a lifestyle brand where actions and expressions
