【侨报周末特约记者李强波士顿图文报道】记者最早注意到史塔塔(Stata)这个名字,是在2011年11月份报道首届麻省理工学院(MIT)中国创新创业论坛(CHIEF)期间,因为会场就在MIT校园建筑风格独特的史塔塔中心举行。日前,记者在纽英伦中华网路资讯协会(NECINA)的一次会议前采访了美国半导体行业知名企业家史塔塔(Ray Stata)先生,正是他在1997年的慷慨捐赠,史塔塔中心才得以在2004年建成,并马上成为MIT校园的一大景点。

Lowell, Mass., July 16, 2013, — When Tzu-WeI Lin and Jing-De Jhang met at the infield grass of LeLacheur Park a couple hours before the 5:05 PM game on July 14, they couldn’t stop joking with each other.
