Rampart St., New Orleans, LA. Dear Non-Runner: Yesterday, a world record was set in the Marathon run. The first I heard about it was a 5-second news update by Brent Musburger at about 8:45 p.m. on your station. I could have heard about it much earlier, if you had chosen to broadcast what most of your other CBS af­ filiates in the nation found time to broad­ cast, the Chicago Marathon. This major marathon, which is one of the top 5 in the world, and the "top road race in the U.S.A.," according to Track and Field News, featured such stellar Olympians as 37-year-old world champion Carlos Lopes, the world's 2nd fastest marathoner Rob de Castella, and the Boston Marathon victor, Geoff Smith. (Please consult ABC if you want to find out about how high their ratings were for their Olympic marathon.) One of the exciting things about wat­ ching live coverage of a marathon is the thrill of anticipating a world record. You can measure it each mile, and it resembles (to me, as a baseball fan) the pitching of a no-hitter. If the guy has "good stuff," he goes out in a sub-5-minute mile and sustains it for the first 10 to 13 miles, building up the tension of a major event about to happen. This kind of excitement is not possible when you are forced to read the papers the next morning. It's the thrill of the event, not the obituaries on Monday morning, that make for exciting sports drama. Next week, we have the New York Marathon, and there will be more running events in the future. Please do your best to accommodate the thousands of running fans in this area who join such clubs as the New Orleans Track Club, or the 15,000 or so amateurs who run the Crescent City Classic each year. We are not only a large mass, but studies show we are also affluent, highly educated and public-spirited leaders. Who is your audience for a re-run of Gable and Lombardi I would be interested to see if your ratings justified your choice of ignoring 15,000 runners and thousands more general sports fans in the area. Steve Jones — Gary Alexander ORTHOPOD PURPOSE: From the cradle to the grave, dally muscular contractions, pounding of your heels and the forces of gravity compress the spine. This compression causes the discs to become flattened and thus they offer less shock absorbing cushion to the nerves. The result Is often pinched nerves, “ slipped” or herniated discs, muscle spasms, fixations (joint Immobilities) and other Injuries. ADVANTAGES: Hanging from the ankles can cause severe trauma to the feet, ankle, knee and hip joints. On the ORTHOPOD one hangs from the thighs In this manner no muscular effort Is required and tractlon/decompresslon Is achieved with complete relaxation of the entire body. Hanging from the thighs reduce the lumbar curve and opens the Intervertebral disc space, thus frequently producing quick and dramatic relief for back-pain sufferers. BENEFITS: Too many to list, but they do Include Increased circulation, relief of many muscle spasm types of pain and trauma, overall Improved circulation and good health.

General Versus Specific Sentences: utA omatic Identification and Application ot Analysis of News Summaries Abstract In this paper, we introduce the task of identifying general and specific sentences in news articles. Instead of embarking on a new annotation effort to obtain data for the task, we explore the possibility of leveraging existing large corpora annotated with discourse information to train a classifier. We introduce several classes of features that capture lexical and syntactic information, as well as word specificity and polarity. We then use the classifier ot analyze the distribution of general and specific sentences in human and machine summaries of news articles. We discover that while all types of summaries tend to be more specific than the original documents, human abstracts contain a more balanced mix of general and specific sentences but automatic summaries are overwhelmingly specific. Our findings give strong evidence for the need for a new task in (abstractive) summarization: identification and generation of general sentences.

  • Updated 2019 Completemedia
    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.

  • Near Fatal Accident Hasn't Stopped Runner Lisa Buohler
    STARTING LINES [ NEWS, VIEWS, RACES, PLACES, GEAR & MORE ] Up and Running A year after a near-fatal accident, Lisa Buohler hasn’t lost a step BY LISA MARSHALL hen race organizers an- nounced they would be keeping the 2012 Boston W Marathon course open an extra hour due to record-high temperatures, Lisa Buohler reacted with more relief than worry. “I thought ‘Yay. That’s great! With six hours, maybe I can at least get a finisher’s medal,’” she recalls. Even that was a lofty goal for a 42-year- old mother of two who, just last September, was lying in a Florida hospital on a mor- phine drip, her liver lacerated, lung bruised, and back crushed after an SUV rear-ended her on her bike. It was only 16 days before Boston that her doctor had cautiously cleared her to start running again “as long as she took it easy.” So, when she crossed the finish line on April 16 in 3:48:51—on a day so hot that 4,300 registered runners opted to not even start—she surprised even herself. “I was shocked,” she says. “To this day I am still asking myself ‘How did I do that’?” Friends and doctors suspect the answer to this question, as well as how she survived her grisly collision without permanent brain or spinal cord damage, lies in the shape she was in before her accident. “She was just remarkably fit,” says friend and training partner John Blewis. “Literally one of the most determined athletes I have ever seen.” Born in Manchester, England in 1969, Buohler moved to the U.S.

Explicit formulae for two practical cases are derived, and their applications are demonstrated using an example. c 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Keywords: Sports; Records; Survival times; Non-homogeneous Poisson process 1. Introduction Let R¿0 and S¿0 be two random variables with respective distribution functions FR(:) and FS (:). Suppose R, the record in a given sport, is subject to set of events (attempts) S. Then the record breaks if the value of S exceeds (subceeds) R. The value of S is a function of the type of sport, number of participants, prize, training, environmental factors such as temperature, altitude, etc., and factors important to the athletes and the public. The value of R depends on factors such as the type and popularity of the sport, amount of rewards or prizes, number of formal competitions, etc. The probability of breaking a record is then ∞ P(S¿R)=p =1− FS (x)dFR(x); 0 where p is the probability of breaking a record in a single attempt.
