 amid the coronavirus pandemic, albeit without fans.
In late June, Cuomo's administration permitted the Mets and Yankees to begin training at their home stadiums. Since then, the state has exempted all professional sports teams from an order requiring many out-of-state travelers to quarantine for 14 days, removing a potential headache for the two MLB teams.
The Yankees began their season on the road Thursday, where Dr. Anthony Fauci threw out the first pitch at Nationals Park. The Mets open up at home Friday.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo delivers his final daily COVID-19 briefing on June 19, 2020. He will hold them on an as-needed basis going forward. Video courtesy NYS Governor's Office.
Cuomo did apparently come close to throwing a first pitch once before.
In 2012, the Tri-City ValleyCats — a Single-A team 15 minutes from Albany — gave away Andrew Cuomo bobblehead dolls to the first 1,500 fans who showed up for "We Love New York Night," a game that promoted the state and its attractions.
Matt Callahan, the ValleyCats general manager, confirmed Cuomo was invited to throw the first pitch that day. At the very least, it seems Cuomo considered attending the game before deciding otherwise.
"(Cuomo) actually sent an advance security detail and was going to try to make it to the game but wasn't able to get away," Callahan wrote in an email Tuesday.
Instead, Cuomo's aides and staffers rented a box for the game. One of them caught a foul ball.
When Cuomo delivered a straight-to-the-camera address to mark the end of his daily coronavirus briefings last month, a bobblehead doll from the game could be seen on his desk.
It's easy to understand why Cuomo or any other image-conscious politician may avoid participating in the tradition.
For one, the risk-reward is out of balance: A good throw may get you a pat on the back, but a bad throw can live in viral infamy.
Ask rapper 50 Cent, whose pitch at a Mets game in 2014 slipped out of his left hand and flew past the first-baseline. Or then-Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory, whose 2013 pitch at a Reds game somehow flew even further afield, striking an umpire.
"I don’t often jump in to defend... but a first pitch is a very anxiety-filled moment for any politician," Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro, Cuomo's opponent in the 2018 governor's race, tweeted last year. "I’d feel less stress if they were aiming the ball at me."
Curt Smith, a baseball historian and former speechwriter for President George H.W. Bush, said he can understand why Trump, a Republican, may not want to throw a first pitch in a normal season. Crowds in Washington D.C. and other big cities tend to be Democratic, and he may get booed, he said.
But Cuomo has no such excuse. His approval ratings have skyrocketed in New York during the coronavirus pandemic, and there won't be any fans at games this year anyway.
"I can conjure or understand why Trump hasn't done it, not to excuse it," said Smith, a senior lecturer at the University of Rochester. "But I don't understand with Cuomo. It makes no sense."
Cuomo's resistance comes despite having baseball in his blood.
Mario Cuomo was once a minor-league ballplayer in the Pittsburgh Pirates system, starting his career in law and politics only after a pitch to the head left him temporarily blinded.
In 2007, Mario Cuomo recounted bringing a very-young Andrew to a Yankees game where Mickey Mantle hit a home run. He recalled it being a "playoff game," though in those days the only playoffs were the World Series.
"Andrew fell asleep before the game was over," Mario Cuomo told Yankees Magazine. "I will never forget that."
Paterson, meanwhile, said he would encourage Andrew Cuomo to consider tossing a first pitch himself.
"I would tell him it's worth taking the chance," Paterson said. "But keep that ball up. Don't put it in the dirt."
Note: This story has been clarified. The original version said every sitting president since Taft had thrown a first pitch at a major league game; Jimmy Carter did not until he was out of office.

I can't give you an actual price but I do expect that the bad rolls keep it's worth from reaching ridiculous heights.

Sadly it's not just the ele roll that sucks but the global crit too and the life roll is mediocre. The crit might not be the end of the world but the people who drop a fuckton of exalt on corruptions like these are generally looking to min max their character.

The flat phys roll is also almost as low as it could be, but seeing how has 5 blue and 1 green socket it will likely be used by spell builds running hypothermia so that won't matter for the price.

Maybe you can compare it's price to Loreweaves that have nice rolls but only +1 to socketed gems as corruption.Just when you think the pain and suffering from your car accident may be ending, some new discomfort comes along. This time, it is the uncertainty associated with undergoing a deposition for your personal injury lawsuit.
If you, like most people, have never been a party to a lawsuit, this term itself is probably unfamiliar. Our post will explain what a deposition is and why they are such an important part of the litigation process. Then you will know what to expect.
Setting the stage for trial
A deposition is a fact-finding mission. The lawyers of your opponent — the person you are holding responsible for the accident that caused your injuries — want to know what they are up against. At the same time, your attorney wants to hear the other side of the story too. This way, each side has a fair chance to prepare a strategy.
When an attorney is questioning you, you are known as the deponent. Other deponents may include anyone named in the lawsuit as well as any witnesses to the accident. You will simply describe the accident and your injuries and answer any questions. Your attorney may also ask questions of your opponent.
A video camera or court reporter will record every word you say and prepare a transcript of the deposition for each attorney. Your attorney will then study the transcripts to find any weaknesses or inconsistencies in your opponent's deposition. This will allow your counsel to prepare a case to your best advantage.
An advocate in your corner
The deposition will probably take place at the office of one of the lawyers. No judge or jury will be present. It may be a very brief meeting, or it may go on for several days.
It is possible that the details you share at the deposition will be enough to cause your opponent to offer a settlement rather than going to trial. This may happen if your opposition is concerned that the judge or jury would be greatly moved by your testimony.
By having a skilled lawyer at your side, you can be confident of having the best opportunity for a positive outcome at your personal injury trial. A deposition is just one step in this process. A successful trial may result in compensation that will allow you to obtain quality medical care for the most complete recovery possible.Since moving to Providence in August, we’ve begun to explore the rich art resources in our new surroundings. In the past two weeks, we’ve been to MASS MoCA to see the Spencer Finch show, to the ICA for Philip-Lorca diCorcia, to the MIT museum for the whimsical and Tim Hawkinson-esque Sculpture of Arthur Ganson, and to the South End Open Studios and most of the major galleries in Boston.
In the next few posts, we’ll begin to unpack some of what we’re thinking about the art we’ve seen.
Q: How would one 3d plot the CDF of a probability mass function in Mathematica? I have attempted to plot the Cumulative Distribution Function of a simple piecewise probability mass function, but the code:
Plot3D[CDF[p[x, y], {x, y}], {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}]

where p[x_, y_] is the function Piecewise[...]. This yields an empty plot - why is this so? Do I have to make p of probability distribution type?

A: Clear["Global`*"];

You have a user-defined pmf (pdf in Mathematica terms), p[x, y], For example,
p[x_, y_] = Piecewise[{
    {1/8, x == 0 && y == 0},
    {1/4, x == 0 && y == 1},
    {1/4, x == 1 && y == 0},
    {3/8, x == 1 && y == 1}}];

ProbabilityDistribution is used to define the associated distribution

distXY = ProbabilityDistribution[p[x, y], {x, 0, 1, 1}, {y, 0, 1, 1}];

The distribution is used to define the CDF
CDF[distXY, {x, y}]


Plot3D[CDF[distXY, {x, y}], {x, -1, 2}, {y, -1, 2}]
