    The Boston Red Sox Thursday, November 1, 2018 * The Boston Globe Why the Red Sox feel good about David Price going forward Alex Speier David Price came to Fenway Park ready to celebrate the Red Sox’ 2018 championship season, and hoping to do it again sometime in the next four years. Price had the right to opt out of the final four years and $127 million of the record-setting seven-year, $217 million deal he signed with the Red Sox after the 2015 season by midnight on Wednesday. However, as he basked in the afterglow of his first World Series title, the lefthander said that he would not leave the Red Sox. “I’m opting in. I’m not going anywhere. I want to win here. We did that this year and I want to do it again,” Price said minutes before boarding a duck boat. “There wasn’t any reconsideration on my part ever. I came here to win. We did that this year and that was very special, and now I want to do it again.” Red Sox principal owner (and Globe owner) John Henry was pleased with the decision. While industry opinion was nearly unanimous that Price wouldn’t have been able to make as much money on the open market as he will over the duration of his Red Sox deal, Henry said that the team wasn’t certain of the pitcher’s decision until he informed the club. “[Boston is] a tough town in many ways. I think [the opt-out] was there because it gave him an opportunity to see if he wanted to spend [all seven years here],” said Henry.

    Saki Iwamoto The moment of meaningful interaction is when children realize that there are various ways to approach a task. What happens if you try it one way? Are there other ways to approach it? What can you do to make it even better next time? My job is to give pieces of the puzzle and keep challenging children to be inquisitive. It’s the children’s job to solve the puzzles, and I’m here to scaffold their thinking, but not to build it for them. I believe that my role as an educator is to help children be critical and creative thinkers and empower them to keep trying various methods to solve problems while having fun! When I work with children who have special needs, I often try to remind myself, as well as visitors, that all children are capable of learning, but the process of learning can take different forms. Play is an awesome way to approach learning beyond what’s considered typical. I’m happy when I see children of all abilities discover their own learning capabilities. Saki Iwamoto is the Museum’s multitalented Health and Wellness Educator. She develops and manages programs that promote the health and well-being of children through developmentally appropriate play. She is also the leader of the Museum’s Morningstar Access program that welcomes children with special needs and their families to visit the Museum at times when there are few other visitors. 1 Tim Porter Prototyping is at the core of our exhibit development work. It enables us to build exhibits with confidence, knowing that they are both compelling and effective.

    ((New England Aquarium)) Annual Report 2005 ((Letter to our Supporters )) Dear Friends of the New England Aquarium: In 2005, change was all around us at the New England Aquarium. One of us, Bud, took the helm as the Aquarium’s new President and CEO in September, ready and eager to lead the Aquarium forward. We welcomed three new trustees and eleven new overseers to our two boards, adding a great deal of experience and passion for the Aquarium’s mission to present, promote and protect the world of water. Down on Central Wharf, we introduced a terrific series of theme programs (Sharks: Tales and Truths and Turtle Trek) to give visitors a whole new way to experience our exhibits. We made significant progress in modernizing key structural components of the Aquarium, saw attendance increase three percent over 2004, and continued to strengthen our finances by finishing the year with an operating surplus. We also watched the Boston waterfront take on new life as the Rose Kennedy Greenway finally began to rise from the dust and clutter of the Big Dig. Equally important, we extended the reach of our pioneering marine conservation programs, continued our longstanding efforts to protect the North Atlantic right whale, Kemp’s ridley seaturtle and other endangered species, and forged exciting part- nerships with businesses to provide consumers with seafood harvested from well-managed stocks throughout the world. All of these developments give us great confi- dence in the Aquarium’s future, and have helped lay the groundwork for a new five-year Action Plan that will be completed by the end of 2006.
