One year after dropping a career-best 22 points on Arizona in the season’s last game, he scored a season- high 19 points at USC to close out the 2008 regular season. Brown began last year with three double-digit scoring efforts in his first four games, reminding everyone that he is a dangerous player who can get hot from beyond the arc at any time. And with the Cardinal searching for its first NCAA Tournament victory since 2004, it was of course, Brown, who nailed four three-pointers on his way to a game-best 18 points and then later earned CBS postgame inter- view honors following a 77-53 first round romp of Cornell.

  • Renormalizing Individual Performance Metrics for Cultural Heritage Management of Sports Records
    Renormalizing individual performance metrics for cultural heritage management of sports records Alexander M. Petersen1 and Orion Penner2 1Management of Complex Systems Department, Ernest and Julio Gallo Management Program, School of Engineering, University of California, Merced, CA 95343 2Chair of Innovation and Intellectual Property Policy, College of Management of Technology, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. (Dated: April 21, 2020) Individual performance metrics are commonly used to compare players from different eras. However, such cross-era comparison is often biased due to significant changes in success factors underlying player achievement rates (e.g. performance enhancing drugs and modern training regimens). Such historical comparison is more than fodder for casual discussion among sports fans, as it is also an issue of critical importance to the multi- billion dollar professional sport industry and the institutions (e.g. Hall of Fame) charged with preserving sports history and the legacy of outstanding players and achievements. To address this cultural heritage management issue, we report an objective statistical method for renormalizing career achievement metrics, one that is par- ticularly tailored for common seasonal performance metrics, which are often aggregated into summary career metrics – despite the fact that many player careers span different eras. Remarkably, we find that the method applied to comprehensive Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association player data preserves the overall functional form of the distribution of career achievement, both at the season and career level. As such, subsequent re-ranking of the top-50 all-time records in MLB and the NBA using renormalized metrics indicates reordering at the local rank level, as opposed to bulk reordering by era.

  • Senator Bill Bradley Talks About Making a Better America at the National Constitution Center
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACTS: Ashley Berke Public Relations Manager 215.409.6693 [email protected] SENATOR BILL BRADLEY TALKS ABOUT MAKING A BETTER AMERICA AT THE NATIONAL CONSTITUTION CENTER Philadelphia, PA (January 2, 2008) – The National Constitution Center welcomes Senator Bill Bradley – bestselling author, New York Knicks star, and former presidential candidate – to discuss his book, The New American Story, on how to make America a better, stronger, truer country. Matt Bai, national political writer for the New York Times Magazine and author of The Argument, will moderate the discussion. This program will be held on Tuesday, January 22, 2008 at 6:30 p.m. Admission is $12 for members, $15 for non-members, and $6 for K-12 students and teachers. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 215.409.6700 or at www.consititutioncenter.org. Based on Bradley’s acclaimed New York Times op-ed piece, The New American Story argues that a strong nation requires a stronger two-party system with leaders who will tell the truth to the American people. Bradley argues that the Republican Party has built a solid pyramid structure, starting in the 1970s, at the base of which are money, ideas, and media, whereas the Democratic Party’s structure is an inverted pyramid, relying on too much pressure from a charismatic leader to hold it up. Bradley’s call to action is addressed not only to the parties and elected leaders, but to citizens as well. He proposes actions that every American can take to shape our nation’s future. Bill Bradley has been an Olympic Gold Medalist, a Rhodes Scholar, a professional basketball player, and a thrice-elected U.S.
