The greatest evolutionary change in professional sports over the past decade has been the introduction of analytics.
In a nutshell Femme Nike Air Max 2017 KPU Chaussures Violet Noir Pas Cher , this concept refers to the use of anti-traditional, hyper-specific statistical analyses to build teams and compensate players in a statistically rational manner.
Once upon a time, the field of sports analytics was considered a fringe endeavor. In 1977, a man named Bill James was viewed as a kook who self-published a quirky journal and sold it to a small, loyal, equally kooky group of subscribers.
Today, James works for the Boston Red Sox Homme Nike Air Max 2017 KPU Chaussures Blanche Pas Cher , a team that has won three World Series titles since 2003. Before the Red Sox hired James, the team had gone 86 years without winning MLB's ultimate prize.
Not surprisingly, James' protégées currently permeate baseball's front offices. Most famously, former Red Sox GM Theo Epstein has recently been charged with the Herculean task of helping the hapless Chicago Cubs (0 for 106 years and counting) win the World Series.
Even more impressive is the impact James' research has had on other sports. Professional football and basketball, specifically, have begun to follow baseball's lead, albeit reluctantly.
Innovative omelets aren't made without breaking more than a few philosophically entrenched eggs. Old school baseball scouts have - both figuratively and literally - spit tobacco onto the concept of Moneyball.
And NBA analyst Charles Barkley Homme Nike Air Max 2017 KPU Chaussures Noir Pas Cher , whose bombastic delivery belies his thoughtful rhetorical mind-set, had this to say, "I've always believed analytics was crap."
While Barkley usually contributes a voice of reason to ridiculous public debates, he's probably wrong in this case.
Last week, the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference gave the San Antonio Spurs an award for essentially using analytics to win two of the past three NBA championships. (For whatever it's worth, effective free throw shooting would have made that number three-for-three.)
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, a former US military member and current coaching legend Homme Nike Air Max 2018 Elite Chaussures Bleu Blanche Pas Cher , had this to say about the award, "I had no idea there was such a conference or such an award … the world is amazing."
Amazing? Yes. Data-driven? Yes. Here to stay? YES.
BEIJING, July 9 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping returned to Beijing on Sunday after state visits to Russia and Germany, and attending the 12th G20 summit in Hamburg.

Xi's entourage returned to Beijing with him Homme Nike Air Max 2018 Elite Chaussures Grise Noir Pas Cher , including his wife Peng Liyuan; Wang Huning, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and director of the Policy Research Office of the CPC Central Committee; Wang Yang, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice premier; Li Zhanshu, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, member of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee and director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee; and State Councilor Yang Jiechi.

BEIJING, Dec. 4 (Xinhua) -- China's campaign against extravagance and undesirable work styles among officials has seen about 262,600 officials punished in the past five years Homme Nike Air Max 2018 Elite Chaussures Noir Blanche Pas Cher , the discipline inspection agency said Monday.
As of October, discipline inspection agencies nationwide had investigated about 193,200 cases involving violation of the Party frugality code issued on Dec. 4, 2012, according to a Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) statement.
Twenty-nine of the cases involved senior officials, the statement said.
The campaign targets the practice of spending public funds on gifts, banquets and holidays. The number of such cases has reduced annually Homme Nike Air Max 2018 Elite Chaussures Army Verte Pas Cher , the CCDI said.
From December 2012 to October 2017, about 45,500 cases were exposed, 68.6 percent of which occurred in 2013 and 2014 and 3.5 percent in 2017.
Officials were also investigated for hosting extravagant wedding ceremonies and funerals, and frequenting high-end night clubs.
Many leading officials were held accountable for failing to discipline their subordinates. From 2015 to August 2017, more than 18,240 officials were punished for such oversight.
The campaign benefited from the participation of citizens who supervised officials and sent tip-offs of misconduct through websites Homme Nike Air Max 2018 Elite Chaussures Noir Rouge Pas Cher , mobile apps and WeChat accounts set up by discipline inspection agencies.
However, the agency said that the campaign still faced difficulties.
A number of officials are repeat offenders, while others have just more cunningly disguised their misconduct, the statement said. The practice of "formalism" and "bureaucratism" remain among the most severe.
The implementation of the code is vital for "whether or not the Party will alienate itself from the masses, govern the country for long and well fulfill its mission," the statement said.
To advance the campaign, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee revised the guidelines for the implementation of the frugality code in mid-October.
The digital economy’s big annual trade show nike air max 90 fleuri pas cher , CES, suffered a brief, disruptive plunge into darkness on Wednesday because of a power outage that the event’s organisers blamed on heavy rain.
The irony of a partial blackout at a trade show dedicated to the latest electronic technology did not escape social or industry media. “Lights out at CES 2018. Does anyone have a battery pack?” wrote Endgadget, a technology news site.
