  • A's News Clips, Saturday, April 21, 2012 Oakland A's Fall To
    A’s News Clips, Saturday, April 21, 2012 Oakland A's fall to Cleveland Indians 4-3 By Carl Steward, Oakland Tribune Yoenis Cespedes had a major league first Friday night with his first three-hit game. Alas, according to A's starter Graham Godfrey, he also had a first -- the worst control game of his life. "That may have been the most walks I've ever given up in a game," Godfrey said after he issued five bases on balls and hit two batters in the A's 4-3 loss to the Cleveland Indians before 14,340 fans at the Oakland Coliseum. Godfrey (0-3) gave up all four Indians runs, and three of those runs were a result of batters he either walked or hit. What was particularly frustrating was that he said he had good stuff but just couldn't command it. "Everything felt great, and I made a lot of good pitches that ended up not being called a strike," he said. "I'm a control guy, and that's very uncharacteristic of me. There's something not right, but I still have a lot of confidence in my stuff and I'm looking forward to my next outing." To wit, Godfrey walked just five batters in 25 innings in 2011 with the A's (five appearances, four starts). "He got behind some guys and he's done that a little bit in the past, but he seems to be able to recover," manager Bob Melvin said. "It didn't get out of hand tonight, but it was not his best effort." Former Oakland third baseman Jack Hannahan drove in three of the Indians' runs with a second-inning sacrifice fly and a two-run double in the fourth.

    Atlanta Braves Clippings Wednesday, May 6, 2020 Braves.com Braves' Top 5 center fielders: Bowman's take By Mark Bowman No one loves a good debate quite like baseball fans, and with that in mind, we asked each of our beat reporters to rank the top five players by position in the history of their franchise, based on their career while playing for that club. These rankings are for fun and debate purposes only … if you don’t agree with the order, participate in the Twitter poll to vote for your favorite at this position. Here is Mark Bowman’s ranking of the top 5 center fielders in Braves history. Next week: Right fielders. 1. Andruw Jones, 1996-2007 Key fact: Stands with Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays and Ichiro Suzuki as the only outfielders to win 10 consecutive Gold Glove Awards The 60.9 bWAR (Baseball Reference’s WAR model) Andruw Jones produced during his 11 full seasons (1997-2007) with Atlanta ranked third in the Majors, trailing only Alex Rodriguez (85.7) and Barry Bonds (79.2). Chipper Jones was fourth at 58.9. Within this span, the Braves center fielder led all Major Leaguers with a 26.7 Defensive bWAR. Hall of Fame catcher Ivan Rodriguez ranked second with 16.5. The next closest outfielder was Mike Cameron (9.6). Along with establishing himself as one of the greatest defensive outfielders baseball has ever seen during his time with Atlanta, Jones became one of the best power hitters in Braves history. He ranks fourth in franchise history with 368 homers, and he set the club’s single-season record with 51 homers in 2005.

  • 2018 RAND Annual Report
    ANNUAL REPORT 2018 THE RAND CORPORATION IS A RESEARCH ORGANIZATION THAT DEVELOPS SOLUTIONS TO PUBLIC POLICY CHALLENGES TO HELP MAKE COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD SAFER AND MORE SECURE, HEALTHIER AND MORE PROSPEROUS. FACT FORW FACT MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR ANDMESSAGE THE PRESIDENT High-quality, objective research and analysis are RAND’s stock-in-trade. Increasing the impact of that research and analysis is RAND’s overarching institutional priority. But the role of facts and analysis in policymaking and in American public life has diminished over the past two decades—and this regrettable trend is not limited to the United States. The very foundations of democracy have begun to erode within and outside U.S. borders. Technology is revolutionizing societies at unprecedented speed, fixing some of the world’s ills while making people and institutions everywhere increasingly vulnerable to misinformation and disinformation. Our vision is for a world where facts matter; where the best minds find ways to help people and organizations flourish; where ideas are tested, debated, and refined; and where the best ideas rise to the top and are shared with all who want to and can use them. The RAND Corporation is a one-of-a-kind organization—part think tank, part consultancy, part university—which makes it uniquely positioned to analyze—and to solve—humanity’s biggest, most complex problems. Every day, researchers and doctoral students at RAND are energized by taking on these challenges to improve the collective safety and security, health, and well-being of citizens. We turn to evidence, data, and facts to help communities rebuild and become more resilient after disasters; devise strategies to thwart illicit activities in cyberspace; deescalate and deter international conflicts; cultivate better outcomes for students; and more.

  • Atlanta Braves Clippings Friday, September 25, 2020 Braves.Com
    Atlanta Braves Clippings Friday, September 25, 2020 Braves.com What to watch for in the Braves' final series By Mark Bowman ATLANTA -- Now that the regular season’s final weekend has arrived, it’s time to look at exactly what the Braves could still accomplish before making their third consecutive postseason appearance. With a 4-2 loss to the Marlins on Thursday night at Truist Park, the Braves’ magic number for clinching the National League’s No. 2 postseason seed remained at one. If they secure this spot, they would play the No. 7 seed, which means they likely won’t know their opponent until the still crowded NL playoff race ends on Sunday or Monday (if the Cardinals need to make up at least one game). One thing the Braves know is they will play the entirety of next week’s Wild Card Series in Atlanta. That has proven to be a good thing, as the team has spent the past couple months constructing an 18-9 home record, which ties them with the Dodgers for the NL’s best mark. Here are a few other things to keep an eye on: Get the kids ready Thursday began in encouraging fashion when Braves manager Brian Snitker announced Max Fried’s sore left ankle will not prevent him from starting Game 1 of the Wild Card Series. The day got even better as Ian Anderson held the Marlins scoreless through the first five innings, but he encountered some bad luck while allowing three unearned runs in the sixth. Now, the Braves will hope Kyle Wright also impresses as he makes his final regular-season start against the Red Sox on Friday.

  • Monster Wildfires and Metaphor in Risk Communication
    Monster wildfires and metaphor in risk communication Teenie Matlock Cognitive and Information Sciences Program and Center for Climate Communication University of California, Merced Merced, California, USA Chelsea Coe Political Science Program, University of California, Merced University of California, Merced Merced, California, USA A. Leroy Westerling School of Engineering and Center for Climate Communication University of California, Merced Merced, California, USA Contact author: Teenie Matlock, PhD Professor of Cognitive Science and McClatchy Chair in Communications Cognitive and Information Sciences Program University of California, Merced Merced, California, USA 95343 Phone: 209-228-7742 Email: [email protected] Abstract This work examines the use and understanding of metaphor in wildfire discourse. We focus on the framing of wildfires as monsters, seen in statements such as “Monster wildfire rages in Colorado” and “Two monster wildfires in Northern California are slowly being tamed,” which reflect a “WILDFIRE IS MONSTER” metaphor. Study 1 analyzes how and when this phrase is used in TV news reports of wildfires, and Study 2A and Study 2B investigate how it influences reasoning about risks associated with wildfire. The results show that metaphor is widely used in framing news reports about significant wildfires, and that its use influences how people reason about them. The work is part of a project aimed at developing better ways to communicate about risks related to natural events and climate change. Introduction Metaphor is the heart and soul of language and thought. It is grounded in our most basic embodied experiences and interactions in the world (Gibbs, 1994, 1996, 2011; Kövecses, 2000; Lakoff & Johnson, 1980). Metaphor helps us make sense of abstract or complex things, including time (Clark, 1973), economics (Henderson, 1982), mathematics (Lakoff & Núñez, 2000), chemistry (Watkins, 1989), physics (Pulaczewska, 1999), medicine (Coulehan, J.
