By MINA MOHAMMADI Deputy News Editor After China’s leader Xi Jinping warned of the “accelerating spread” of coronavirus on Saturday, uni- versities across China, including NYU Shanghai, delayed the start of the spring academic semester. Parents and students, however, say it isn’t enough. This new virus — also known as 2019-nCoV — has killed at least 56 people and infected 2,000 since its discovery in the city of Wuhan. Cas- es of the virus have been found in other countries including Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand and even the United States.

  • Testing the Minimax Theorem in the Field
    Testing the Minimax Theorem in the Field: The Interaction between Pitcher and Batter in Baseball Christopher Rowe Advisor: Professor William Rogerson Abstract John von Neumann’s Minimax Theorem is a central result in game theory, but its practical applicability is questionable. While laboratory studies have often rejected its conclusions, recent field studies have achieved more favorable results. This thesis adds to the growing body of field studies by turning to the game of baseball. Two models are presented and developed, one based on pitch location and the other based on pitch type. Hypotheses are formed from assumptions on each model and then tested with data from Major League Baseball, yielding evidence in favor of the Minimax Theorem. May 2013 MMSS Senior Thesis Northwestern University Table of Contents Acknowledgements 3 Introduction 4 The Minimax Theorem 4 Central Question and Structure 6 Literature Review 6 Laboratory Experiments 7 Field Experiments 8 Summary 10 Models and Assumptions 10 The Game 10 Pitch Location Model 13 Pitch Type Model 21 Hypotheses 24 Pitch Location Model 24 Pitch Type Model 31 Data Analysis 33 Data 33 Pitch Location Model 34 Pitch Type Model 37 Conclusion 41 Summary of Results 41 Future Research 43 References 44 Appendix A 47 Appendix B 59 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank everyone who had a role in this paper’s completion.

    The Boston Red Sox Saturday, April 18, 2020 * The Boston Globe Fenway Park is ready to play ball, even though we are not Stan Grossfeld The grass is perfect and the old ballpark is squeaky clean — it was scrubbed and disinfected for viral pathogens for three days in March. Spending a few hours at Fenway Park is good for the soul. The ballpark is totally silent. The mound and home plate are covered by tarps and the foul lines aren’t drawn yet, but it feels as if there still could be a game played today. The sun’s warmth reflecting off The Wall feels good. The tug of the past is all around but the future is the great unknown. In Fenway, zoom is still a word to describe a Chris Sale fastball, not a video conferencing app. Old friend Terry Francona and the Cleveland Indians would have been here this weekend and there would’ve been big hugs by the batting cage and the rhythmic crack of bat meeting ball. But now gaining access is nearly impossible and includes health questions and safety precautions and a Fenway security escort. Visitors must wear a respiratory mask, gloves, and practice social distancing, larger than the lead Dave Roberts got on Mariano Rivera in the 2004 ALCS. Carissa Unger of Green City Growers in Somerville is planting organic vegetables for Fenway Farms, located on the rooftop of the park. She is one of the few allowed into the ballpark. The harvest this year all will be donated to a local food pantry.

    Please join us at the 2018 New England Newspaper Convention as we honor the newest members of the New England Newspaper Hall of Fame Friday, February 23, 2018 ~ Boston Renaissance Waterfront Hotel 6:30 p.m. Cocktails ~ 7:00 p.m. Dinner and Induction Ceremony 2018 Inductees WILLIAM T. CLEW Bill Clew has been a reporter, editor, manager and mentor at Central Massachusetts newspapers for more than 60 years. He worked at the Telegram & Gazette for 37 years before joining the Catholic Free Press in Worcester in 1991. At age 88, he still works there several days a week as a contributing editor. Bill embodies the qualities we seek and applaud in journalists – a curiosity about people and events; an ability to listen, a simple, unwavering dedication to revealing truth; courage. Bill hired and trained legions of journalists who work around the country, his influence reaching far, far beyond his own fine work reporting and editing. He was kind, yet tough, he demanded accuracy and thoroughness from his staff, held to extremely high standards, expecting all to respect reporting as a higher calling, because he did. TIMOTHY COTTER Tim Cotter’s 38-year journalism career has been spent entirely in New England. He began his career with a string of weeklies in southern Rhode Island, and was hired at The Day in New London, Conn. in 1989. Ten years ago he was named as The Day’s managing editor. In those 10 years, the paper has been recognized as the New England Newspaper Association’s Newspaper of the Year eight times.

  • Jacobs Destiny
    Jacobs Destiny (A Screenplay, by John Shields) [email protected] (619) 433-9477 Copyright pending Overview Larry and Shelly Wyatt are late middle-aged and childless when Shelly becomes pregnant. After the birth of their son, Jacob, they move from California to New Zealand to raise their son in a quiet, peaceful, small town environment. While in New Zealand, they establish the “Jacobs Destiny” vineyard and winery. At a very young age, Jacob falls in love with baseball and decides that he is going to be a Major League Baseball player. Jacobs’ hero is Dodgers’ left-handed hall-of-fame pitcher, Sandy Koufax. Although naturally right-handed, Jacob teaches himself to pitch both left- handed and right-handed. At age 17, Jacob is drafted by the San Diego Padres, spends a few months in the Padres’ minor league system under the constant tutelage of baseball great Lou Piniella, is called- up to the San Diego Padres and leads the Padres to their first ever World Series Championship. Jacobs Destiny is a pure baseball story. The developing familial relationships of Lou and Anita Piniella and the Wyatt family as Jacob progresses from minor league star to World Series Champion is told by Chris Berman and Harris Faulkner. Opening Scene Chris Berman – As previously announced, we have made a schedule change today in order to bring you a very special documentary presentation. The last century has seen some dramatic changes in competitive sports. Many of those changes can be directly attributed to the effect of television and money on the athletes. Some of those changes came as a result of the dominance of a Page 1 of 178 single player on his or her sport.
