Why Fly-Ball Pitchers May Be Better Bets Than Ground-Ball Pitchers
- The ability to retire batters via strikeouts
- The ability to limit base-runners by avoiding the issuance of walks
- The ability to limit home runs by keeping the ball on the ground
Pitchers who do a good job at these three things are commonly assumed to be very skilled. Pitchers who do these things well but don't have a superb ERA to match are seen as unlucky.
- Pitchers with elite ground-ball skills (above 47 GB%) including stars like Felix Hernandez and Chris Carpenter and lesser ones like Paul Maholm and Aaron Cook.
- Pitchers with above-average ground-ball skills (about 44.5%-47%) including stars like Tim Lincecum and CC Sabathia and lesser ones like Joe Saunders and Jeff Suppan.
- Pitchers with below-average ground-ball skills (about 40.5%-44.5%) including stars like Jake Peavy and Cole Hamels and lesser ones like Kevin Millwood and Kyle Lohse
- Pitchers with terrible ground-ball skills (below 40.5%) including stars like Jered Weaver and Matt Cain and lesser ones like Jarrod Washburn and Oliver Perez.
Now, let's look at each of the categories.

I think that there might be a bit of a selection bias happening here with your quartile splits, due to poor categorization on the part of baseball's statisticians.
Clearly, as you note flyballs are worse than groundballs, hence the oddity of your graphs.
I think the problem is that a lot of popups are currently defined as flyballs. Obviously, as a category, popups are up there with groundballs in getting outs, and not like other flyballs, which can become homeruns. I believe a large majority of the pitchers who populate that last category are good at gaining popups.
Now, it is not like popups are not being accounted for, and they are as infield flies, but for some reason baseball has decided that, well, it is more like a flyball than a groundball, so we'll put it in that category. And, of course, the shallow popups that barely reach the outfield are labeled flyballs too, I bet.
Why they don't just have a third category, covering all popups, I'm not sure, maybe because way back when, when they were not able to separate the two, and just had flyball vs. groundball, all the stats were created related to the two, and nobody wants to deal with three, where the third are infield flies. Who knows, they just don't.
Anyway, it would be my supposition that, as our intuition and logic tells us, the flyball pitchers do pitch themselves out of baseball, leaving mostly the popup masters in that last category of low groundballers.
I think with the latest video analysis tools that the MLB is installing (I think AT&T is the first to get them), where they can get a variety of statistics related to how the ball is put into play, there will be some point where they will be able to define popups as balls hit at a certain range of angle upward, with a certain range of power (velocity of ball hit), and analysis such as this post will find different results.
I'll take a Fly Ball pitcher in a pitcher's park with a good OF defense over a Ground Baller. The Fly Balls lower the BABIP (a good OF helps that too), but we need the HR/FB% to be below average (hence the pitcher's park).
A lot of variables involved, but if you cherry pick you'll find many useful Fly Ballers out there.

Games for Our Annual Family Fun Day!
Every year I have a different theme. Here's my genealogy theme that I incorporated in 2012. Games for Annual Family Fun Day
Here's some of my ideas for planning a Family Fun Day (aka Family Reunion) Planning a Family Fun Day aka Family Reunion
And a few more ideas: Genealogy Games For a Family Reunion: Race Events & Eggs (Part 3)
This year, due to some health issues, I am going a bit more low key. I'm organizing a Scavenger Hunt with a couple of twists thrown in. We have various colours of take-apart plastic eggs and these will be hidden on the property.
I try to come up with a different way of finding team members each year and this year I've created math questions! Yep. I created simple math questions (2+2=?, 12/6=? etc) Each person has to solve their math question then look for another person whose answer to THEIR math question is the same! This should be amusing to watch.
As soon as each person finds their partner, they will race to where a line of hula hoops is laid out on the ground. I call this activity the Froggy Jump. Using one hula hoop, each person in turn tosses it ahead and jumps or steps into it. They must lift the hula hoop over their body and toss it ahead, then step into it and so on until they reach the finish line. At the finish line, my husband will be waiting to hand them the instructions for the scavenger hunt.
Teams of two have to find one of each colour PLUS one multi-coloured egg which I made by putting different coloured halves together. The multi-coloured eggs will contain instructions for one event which must be completed before teams race to the finish line with their eggs. The event that teams must complete is to head to the field where our pot-belly pigs are kept.
I think this is going to be a lot of fun and plan to take lots of photos. Cross your fingers for sun that day because if it rains we will not be doing any of these fun things.

The following project was designed for a need: with my friend Davide I'm working on a model railway (Il Plastico di Davide e Luca): we needed to know how much current it uses to size our power supplies (booster)…
The sensor
For current measurement, I used ACS712 sensor from Allegro MicroSystems (here's its datasheet). You can find 3 models of this integrated circuit, depending on the maximum measured current (5-20-30A); for our requirements I chose the 5A model.
ACS712 is very easy to use: voltage across VIOUT and ground PIN is proportional to current flowing between IP+ e IP-. It requires a power supply of 5V (VCC) and two capacitors to filter power supply and output; on its datasheet you can find the typical application:
The chip is sold in a SOIC package; SparkFun sells a convenient breakout board with ACS712 presoldered. I connected that board to a perfboard where I soldered the two capacitors and three PINs for Arduino connection:
As I wrote, output voltage is proportional to input current. The value that links the two measurements is sensitivity (you can find it on the datasheet) which – for 5A model – has a typical value of 185mV/A. The sensor can measure positive and negative currents (range -5A…5A), so if input current is 0, output value is 2.5V.
We're going to read output value with one of the analog inputs of Arduino and its analogRead() function. That function outputs a value between 0 (0V in input) and 1023 (5V in input) that is 0,0049V for each increment.
The formula you need to convert units from analogRead() to Ampere is:
Arduino sketch is very simple: it reads the value on AN0 PIN, converts it with the formula above and sends the result to a Personal Computer via serial connection. My PC is running AnalogDemo software which plots data to a chart and updates a feed on Pachube.
ACS712 measures an instant value; my first tests showed that the measure was too floating, that's the reason why the sketch below reads 1000 values, computes an average and sends it to my PC. analogRead() needs about 0.1ms for each reading, if you want a value for each second, you need a delay of 1ms in the loop:
void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { float average = 0; for(int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { average = average + (.0264 * analogRead(A0) -13.51) / 1000; delay(1); } Serial.println(average); }
To test the accuracy of my sensor, I used a microcontrolled battery charger, with the ACS712 between its outputs and the battery pack in charging:
I was able to found a very close match between the output current shown by the charger and the values read by the current sensor.
Get on the train!
Last Saturday we used the circuit with our model railway, here you can read about the test and watch a short video with the circuit running during a small short-circuit.
If you read the sensor's output with Arduino, you have a resolution of about 0,026A (the value you get from analogRead() increases by a unit every 0.026A). To improve the resolution, you can add an opAmp which extends the output range; SparkFun again sells a breakout board with that improvement.

Authorities are questioning a man suspected of beating a Chicago police officer as the officer tried to break up a fight in the West Englewood neighborhood over the weekend.
The 29-year-old man was taken into custody around 8:30 p.m. Monday in the Pullman neighborhood and taken to the Area South police station on the Far South Side. No charges have been filed.
The officer was struck around 12:40 a.m. Saturday in the 5700 block of South Winchester Avenue. The officer was hit with a bat while trying to break up a fight possibly involving "dozens" of people, according to police sources.
The officer was taken in serious condition to John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of cook county and has been released.
The officer is an Englewood District beat officer who joined the department in 2009, sources said.
The person being questioned has an arrest record that includes murder charges in 2004, according to court documents. He was fouind not guilty and released in 2006. In 2009, he pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine.

The foundations for the development of the European Security and Defence Policy were established in the Maastricht Treaty, which entered into force in 1993, and according to which the ESDP is an integral element of the Union's common foreign and security policy (CFSP).
The EU's Security and Defence Policy (ESDP) was renamed the European Union's Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) after the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon in 2009.
External Relations Council meeting – Ministerial Declaration:
ESDP Ten Years – Challenges and Opportunities (November 2009)
In accordance with the Treaty on the European Union, the CSDP can lead to a common defence if the Council of Europe so decides and if the Member States, on the Council's recommendation, accept the decision in accordance with their constitutional requirements. At present, a common defence is not a likely option.
In the framework of CSDP the European Union conducts both military and civilian crisis management operations. The so-called Capability Development Mechanism refers to improving the EU's civilian and military crisis management capacity in view of future operations. An ambitious set of Headline Goals have been set for both the military and civilian capabilities.
The European Security Strategy, which was approved in December 2003 and revised in December 2008, provides a framework for the Union's security political action. The EU's common interests, strategic goals and capability requirements are determined based on the security environment and threat assessments.
European Security Strategy of 2003 and its revision in 2008:
- European Security Strategy: A secure Europe in a better world (EN, Brussels, 12 December 2003)
- Report on the Implementation of the European Security Strategy: Providing Security in a Changing World (Brussels, 11 December 2008, S407/08)
Decisions concerning the CSDP are made by the Foreign Affairs Council (FAC), Council of foreign affairs ministers of the EU, which is chaired by the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
The Political and Security Committee (COPS/PSC) takes part in policy formulation related to the European security and defence policy by giving statements to the Council. The Committee monitors the implementation of the CSDP and takes responsibility for the political supervision and strategic guidance of crisis management operations. Actual decisions concerning CSDP operations are made in the Council.
The EU Military Committee (EUMC) provides advice and recommendations on military issues to COPS/PSC and guidance to the EU Military Staff (EUMS) in military matters. Issues related to civilian crisis management are prepared in the Committee for Civilian Aspects of Crisis Management (CivCom).The politico-military working group (PMG) is in charge of preparing CSDP matters for COPS/PSC.

One of the main challenges for the EU in the field of security and defence policy in the future is to enhance coordination and coherence between different policy areas and actors to help ensure a comprehensive approach to crisis management. This has been taken into account in the EU's new External Action Service (EEAS), the new European diplomatic corps.
The Crisis Management and Planning Directorate (CMPD) will combine civilian and military expertise in crisis management. It is intended to be at the very heart of the External Action Service and to be the body that deals with all the toughest issues of world peace and security the EU is involved in.
In December 2008, the European Council agreed to merge civilian and military aspects of the planning for European peace keeping missions into a single CMPD.
It was a logical step that would help the EU to be more efficient in its response to conflicts. This strategic planning tool of the CSDP was set up in November 2009.
Created to belong to the EEAS, the specific constellation and staffing level of this standing structure based in Brussels under the authority of the HR/VP Mrs Catherine Ashton, has not yet been specified.
The CMPD would include personnel from all geographical task forces within the Council secretariat, from the SitCen, SatCen, the EUMS, and most particularly from its Civil-Military Cell as well as from relevant Commission services. It will be led by a civilian head and a military deputy.

Kershaw does it all: Shutout, home run in Dodgers win
- Clayton Kershaw%27s first career home run broke a scoreless tie
- He also pitched a shutout in outlasting Matt Cain
- It was the first Opening Day under the new ownership group
LOS ANGELES -- A Dodgers left-hander evoked memories of Koufax and Valenzuela on Opening Day.
The Game: Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw overwhelmed the defending World Series champion San Francisco Giants from the mound, then broke a scoreless duel with a homer to center off reliever George Kontos leading off the eighth. It was the first career home run for Kershaw, who completed a four-hitter as the Dodgers prevailed 4-0.
Kershaw became the first player to throw a shutout and hit a home run on Opening Day since fellow Dodger Don Drysdale pulled the feat off in 1965.
Matt Cain matched zeroes with Kershaw over the first six innings, but a 29-pitch first took its toll and he left after throwing 92 pitches.
What it means: The Dodgers' big-spending new ownership group could savor a victory in its first Opening Day officially in charge of the club. Last season, Magic Johnson joined soon-to-be outgoing owner Frank McCourt in a box seat as the Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres, 5-3, in the opener at Petco Park.
The scene: A full house of 53,138 at Dodger Stadium saw Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax throw out the ceremonial first pitch – he bounced it – then, after L.A. squandered a two-on, no-out opportunity in the first inning, settled in for a pitchers duel. It lasted until Kershaw's homer opened the door for a four-run rally.
Fun Fact: Kershaw had gone 263 career at-bats, striking out in 80 of them, before launching his homer. It was the second extra-base hit of his five-plus-year career.
What's next: The teams meet again Tuesday in the second game of a set of three, with Korean rookie Hyun-Jin Ryu making his major league debut opposing fellow lefty Madison Bumgarner.

"It was still dark that morning in 1942 when the Gestapo rousted from bed the Jews of Bobawa, a Polish village. In the confusion, twelve-year-old Samuel Oliner slipped away and hid on a roof, still in his pajamas. The next afternoon, when he dared to look around, the ghetto was silent. The Jews of Bobawa, murdered that day, by then were lying in a mass grave in the nearby countryside.
"Samuel found some clothes in an empty house and, skirting German patrols and Polish looters, fled to the country. There, after walking for two days, he found his way to the farmhouse of Balwina Piecuch, a peasant woman who had been friendly with his family. Mrs. Piecuch knew, when Samuel knocked on the door, that she would be shot if the Germans found her harboring a Jew. Without hesitation, she took Samuel in.
"Balwina taught Samuel the rituals of Polish Catholic life—how to go to confession, how to pray, the catechism. With her help, Samuel posed as an impoverished Polish stable boy in search of work and a place to live. Thus [it was that] Samuel [Oliner] survived the war.
It is with this moving story that a recent New York Times article on 'What Makes for Human Goodness" began. Clearly it was Mrs. Piecuch's uncommon and courageous goodness which snatched this young Jewish boy from certain death. By some estimates, as many as 200,000 Jews, like Samuel Oliner, were saved from the Nazi butchers by good-hearted, non-Jewish rescuers. Now a group of social scientists is reaching, as they put it, "into the cauldron of good and evil that was World War II" to study those "exemplars of human goodness" to see if there are any common identifiable characteristics among those brave and beautiful people who altruistically risked everything to save others. The director of this project, you might be interested to know, is an eminent sociologist from Humboldt State University in California...a man by the name of Samuel Oliner.
"We want to find the common threads among the few who helped," Oliner writes, we want to know "the differences between the rescuers and those others who might have helped but chose to look the other way." He and his research team already have interviewed 140 of what another author has called "The Righteous Gentiles," and are racing against the clock to reach more of these good souls before they die of old age all over Europe. But Dr. Oliner's project on the sources of human compassion and altruism has been able to establish some preliminary conclusions about the characters of those who selflessly helped. I find them personally fascinating, as well as of vast importance for us, as religious people, who strive to be good.
What the sociologists generally found is that most of those who bravely hid Jews from Hitler's "Final Solution" share two personal characteristics. First, these were people with a strong sense of personal self-worth… and secondly, they all had a clear set of compassionate human values learned in childhood. Now let's take each of these two foundations for human goodness in turn, and see what they might have to teach us.
First, I think it should not surprise us that these rescuers of humanity share a strong sense of personal worth and security. For doesn't it make perfect psychological sense that, generally speaking, one has to feel good about one's own self before one is able to express much goodness toward others?
This, of course, is not a new idea. For well over two thousand years ago, Jesus framed his enduring gospel of human responsibility and goodness this way: "Love your neighbor AS you love yourself." Even in his primitive, pre-psychological age, Jesus seems to have intuitively understood that love and respect for self is the spiritual prerequisite for love and respect directed outward to others. In our time, it has been the humanistic psychologists, most noticeably Abraham Maslow and Erich Fromm, who have asserted that self-esteem and personal security are the starting place for all healthy and humane human relationships and societies.
And this makes such perfect practical sense, doesn't it? For how, I ask, can I be respectful and loving and nurturing toward humanity around me if I despise and loathe the humanness within me? If I don't respect and revere the manifestation of personhood I know best—namely my own self in this familiar little sheath of skin—how in God's name will I respect and revere those often odd, and idiosyncratic, human manifestations that all of you are? Clearly love and respect for self creates the core of human affirmation from which love and respect for others springs. It should not surprise us, then, to hear that those compassionate few who saved Jews from certain death valued themselves. From the inside out, they knew of their own human beauty and worth... and therefore could readily see, and want to protect, the human beauty and worth of strangers when the knock came at the door.
And isn't the opposite also true? When we are unkind or indifferent to human beings around us, doesn't our unseemly behavior most often have its basis in our own self-negation? Let me be the first to "crawl into the confession booth" this morning. Whenever I catch myself expressing inappropriate anger, mean-spiritedness or cruel indifference towards other individuals or groups, I invariably discover that my lack of compassion says more about the ways in which I don't feel good about myself, rather than anything objectively objectionable about those to whom my venom is directed. When I unnecessarily hurt, abuse or neglect someone else, it usually arises from some hurt, abused or neglected part of me. My lack of goodness is invariably a reflection of my own pain and inadequacy as a person, rather than caused by anything wrong with those to whom my toxicity is directed.
And I frankly doubt that any of you, dear friends, are much different. When you turn your backs or withhold goodness and decency from some fellow human being, you undoubtedly do so from some wounded, broken, or insecure place in your soul. The authors of these studies on goodness are absolutely correct...the better you feel about your own self, the better you are likely to treat others. The psychological logic of it all is undeniable.
And this truth leads me to the next point the sociologists studying the sources of human goodness have made. People who have shown themselves to be uncommonly altruistic universally had childhoods made secure by warm and nurturing parents—adults who, through their generous expressions of love, helped these individuals to feel positive about themselves and safe in the world. Dr. Erwin Staub of the University of Massachusetts puts it this way, "There is a pattern of child rearing that seems to encourage altruism in later years… a warm and nurturing relationship between parent and child is essential." And this too makes utter psychological sense to us, doesn't it? For surely it follows that if our parents pass on to us a strong sense of our own personal worth and dignity that we will naturally be inclined to confirm and celebrate the human worth and dignity of others—from that core of happy wholeness and health.
And this also, unfortunately, seems supported by negative example in our everyday experience. Whenever you read a psychological study of some heinous murderer and violent sociopath, you find that, almost to the last man and woman, these hurtful people had unhappy, insecure, and non-nurturing childhoods. Those who are hurt early often grow up later to hurt others. Recent studies reveal that child abusers are, almost always, people who themselves were abused when young (though blessedly many who were abused are able to healthfully move past those hurtful patterns).
And thus we arrive at a truth for all adults that is as important as it is obvious...if we want our children, and the next human generation, to act compassionately and respectfully toward one another, we must show them, by the living example of our thoughts, words and deeds, that they are loved and respected. The only way our young truly learn that human beings deserve to be treated gently and humanely is by receiving that decent treatment themselves. It seems obvious from these studies that if we are to have a better world, where people are spontaneously treated with compassion and concern, we must first and foremost instill in our children an appropriate sense of their own self-worth, dignity and value.
But as Oliner and the other social scientists studying human goodness are quick to point out, a healthy sense of personal worth developed in childhood is not in-and-of-itself a sufficient foundation for altruism and goodness. For they have concluded that the second "common thread" they discovered in those compassionate heroes of the Holocaust is just as indispensable as the first—namely that all these "good" people possessed a personal set of compassionate values which had been passed on to them by their parents.
Dr. Staub concludes that while a warm and nurturing relationship between parent and child is "essential" for altruism, it nonetheless, and now I quote, "must be coupled with compassionate values," which provide the individual with the moral direction and strength to help others, even when it comes at great danger or cost to themselves. In another study of human goodness and compassion, Dr. Zahn Waxler agrees that it is "The nurturant but moralizing parent who arouses the child to concerned action, the parent who is nurturing but not permissive, in that they have a clear set of moral and behavioral expectations for the child."
Now please understand that Dr. Waxler and the others are not talking about "moralistic" parents here, who rant and rave for hours on end at their kids about what is right and wrong. What they are talking about are genuinely moral parents who, by everyday example, teach clear moral values and compassionate behavior. As Harvey Hornstein puts it in his fascinating little book Cruelty and Kindness, children who become humane adults do so "because they once had opportunities to observe loving caretakers being concerned about the welfare of other human beings... [they learn goodness, quite simply,] by example." And Dr. Perry London, who did his own study of the rescuers of Jews during World War II, adds that these human heroes had "intense identification with a parental model of moral conduct."
It seems, then, to be as Dr. Hornstein suggests. "If the sins of fathers and mothers are visited upon their children, then so [too] are their good deeds." It is surely as I always say to the parents of infants during ceremonies of naming and dedication, as I charge them to their awesome parental responsibilities: "[The parents'] goodness becomes the child's goodness; their evil the child's evil… and also their wisdom, courage, openness, and the adventure of their beliefs."
So all of these diverse insights about the genesis of goodness in individual human beings says, give or take, the same thing: children pick up compassionate values for adulthood by seeing those values lived out by their adult caretakers...and they must be modeled, not just mouthed, if they are to really become enduring realities in the personalities of the young. It's that simple. Unitarian bard Ralph Waldo Emerson understood this awesome moral responsibility of adulthood when he declared in the middle of the last century, "The gods we worship write their names on our faces, be sure of that. And a man [or woman] will worship something—have no doubt about that either. He [or she] may think that [this] tribute is paid in secret, in the dark recesses of the heart—but it will out. That which dominates [our] imagination and thought will determine [our] life and character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping, we are becoming."
And so all of us who ever touch the lives of children—and that is all of us, for parenting is a responsibility in which all adults share—must realize the power and importance of our everyday example. More than what we say we believe, it's how we live—how good and loving we are to other human beings who share this journey called life with us—that has a large and lasting impact on those young folks who are so scrupulously watching. And oh how attentively they watch, don't they? They don't miss a trick or any of our hypocrisies, do they? Their "crap detectors" are working full blast all the time!
And don't fool yourselves into thinking your everyday moral actions are less important—we are the shapers and molders of the next generation, and the quality of our deeds will go a long way toward deciding the quality of the human future!
All right… all these observations about the absolute importance of adult modeling of human compassion and goodness surely make sense to us—we have heard it all before. But I fear I've gotten ahead of myself in this discussion on the sources of human goodness, for I have not yet suggested just where the basic impulse to treat others compassionately comes from! I must ask, 'When all is said and done, what fundamental spiritual attitude of the human heart gives birth to goodness?" I am shifting from psychology to spirituality now. Well, I suppose there are any number of respectable answers for so vast and important a question, especially among free-thinking Unitarian Universalists, but I personally most resonate to Harvey Hornstein's strikingly simple answer. He suggests that what makes for altruism and compassion in our world is people passionately feeling their fundamental connectedness with other human beings. We are good to those around us when we know, deep down to the centers of our trembling hearts, that they belong beautifully and irretrievably to us as fellow human beings on this holy and tender planet earth. Hornstein believes that human compassion and goodness are fundamentally given birth in our world through people who spiritually feel, and now I use his nomenclature, the "bonds of we" rather than the "barriers of them."
This hopeful human idea, which understands the importance of seeing the human connectors rather than the dividers, resonates beautifully with my understanding of the soul of our noble religion. For lying at the compassionate center of Unitarian Universalism is the astounding idea that every man, woman, and child on earth is a precious part of a family...the human family of universal belonging and mutual responsibility. Our liberal faith has a vision of humanity's indissolvable oneness. And there is no avoiding it: if we take our Unitarian Universalism to heart, it is up to each one of us to treatevery member of our family with just as much kindness, justice and respect as we can.
Some religions, in this privatistic and selfish age, say little more than "Look out for 'good old number 1'...work on your own personal salvation...get yourself to heaven, and never mind the rest of struggling humanity." Such religion, dominated as it is by the goal of personal salvation, is little more, in my view, than spiritual narcissism, a selfish path of the heart that refuses to hear the crying demands for goodness and justice that lie beyond the immediate little sphere of self and family. Many are the tribal religions which cast the world into "us" versus "them" struggles. Sadly, in our time, many are the religions of individualism and isolation which free the believer from worldwide human responsibility.
But ours (thank God) is a relational religion—a religion that would have us aware and alive to the irreducible oneness that exists between ourselves and human beings everywhere, a religion that calls us into close, caring, and compassionate communion with people of all kinds and colors, no matter how different from us they might at first seem. Ours is a faith that has always dreamt of people everywhere becoming like family—one humanity relating in evermore intricate patterns of compassion and respect.
Unitarian Universalism is the demand to be gently and responsibly related to life and persons around you. And this church knows, with Hornstein and other global thinkers, that genuine compassion for others is best and most beautifully born in the cockles of the human heart which feels those indissoluble connections, the wondrous oneness. And we will only be genuinely good to one another when we know, by God, that every last human person with whom we share life on this fragile little planet is preciously a part of my family, my tribe, my country, me by God, a part of me!
There is a wonderful Hasidic tale, told by Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, which I feel makes the reality and importance of our human connectedness with one another come to life. The story goes that, "A young man in Jerusalem wanted to visit Rome, (which was then the ruling capital of Western Civilization...a very strange and different place from Jewish Jerusalem). His mother protested (as worrying mothers are wont to do) and asked him 'How will you eat? Where will you sleep?' He didn't have any answers, yet he still wanted to go on his adventure to Rome. His Mother finally relented but said, 'I'm sure you will find food, but for sleep, for sleep you must take this pillow. At night, go outside the walls of Rome and put your head on this pillow, and you will have rest.' The son did as she asked, and each night, after enjoying the sights, the sounds, the carnivals of Rome, he would leave that city and take his pillow and find sleep in the countryside. But one night, right before falling asleep, his pillow caught fire! Why? Because that night the temple in Jerusalem burned."
Wiesel goes on to explain that in his tradition, no member of the widely scattered Jewish community lives in isolation. On a very real mystical level, what happens to one Jew happens to all Jews, for they are spiritually and mystically bound together in one being, one indissoluble community. It was the precious bonds of human community and connectedness which set fire to the boy's pillow, and kept him awake and alive to that which troubled his brothers and sisters back in Jerusalem.
What I am saying to you is, as it was with the ancient tribe of Israel, so too it now must be with the worldwide tribe of humanity—the tribe to which all of us so irrevocably and preciously belong. Surely all liberal religious thinkers realize how very rapidly our human world is shrinking. We live now in that global village Marshall MacLuhan described, where all humanity is being evermore intricately woven together in an interdependent web of life and being. The various peoples and nations of humanity can no longer afford to imagine themselves separated and distinct from one another. If we are to survive on this tiny blue-green spaceship earth, a new global consciousness of our inter-relatedness must quickly be brought to birth, and humanity must begin learning how to live together as an interdependent family, with peace and understanding flowing into every corner of the globe. And that new consciousness of human connectedness and responsibility begins, don't you see, with human hearts able to see and celebrate the bonds of "we," rather than the brutalizing barriers of "them."
Now please believe me, I have no illusions about how hard and long will be the battle for this spiritual transformation toward genuine human oneness. We live, you and I, in terribly tribal times. It is with heavy heart that I realize that many of our world's leaders, who currently dominate geo-political affairs, routinely think in parochial and tribal terms. Many are the archaic, inoperative worldviews which slice up the globe into isolated camps of "we" versus "them." Warfare, terrorism, the arms race, famine, medical catastrophes like AIDS, are all allowed to prosper in the darkness of humanity's divisive and little thinking.
This spring, we witnessed one of the most heinous expressions of the evils of tribalism of the twentieth century. I was at a Ramada Inn traveling, watching the evening news when the horrible images poured out of the television, and suddenly I found tears streaming down my face. There before me were the obscene newsreel pictures—you probably all saw it—of that Kurdish father and child, dead at the doorsill, murdered by Iraqi poison gas that day. And you could see, by the configuration of their bodies, that the father had desperately tried to protect his daughter from this war crime that no nation has committed since World War II... but had failed. We must say to the Iraqis and Iranians and all others who would slaughter innocent human beings in such evil ways, "No...it is not acceptable...it is not acceptable...it is not acceptable! We will not trade with you, have an embassy on your soil, until you stop this heinous, evil behavior." Of all the many spiritual responsibilities that fall to us as Unitarian Universalists, none is more pressing than that of helping humanity to realize its holy interdependence, its indissoluble oneness.
I want my religion, I want my Unitarian Universalist faith, to call upon me to ever enlarge the capacity of my heart, to challenge me toward goodness and mercy even when it comes at great personal cost. I want a faith which teaches my soul to organically feel the joy and sorrow of others, which reminds me of my inescapable responsibility to love and serve my far-flung, often-difficult family. I want a church which refuses to let me morally and spiritually separate myself from the trials and tribulations of my global brothers and sisters wherever and however I find them. I want a faith, if you will, that burns the pillow of my heart and keeps me awake, by God, whenever there is as much as one human being somewhere in need of my compassion or care.
So may your pillow catch fire, dear Unitarian Universalist friends, when the evening news flashes into your living rooms the images of the starving fly-covered Ethiopian children dying in their mothers' arms; then may your pillow catch fire! May your pillow catch fire whenever some despairing bag lady spends another lonely night in some filthy urine-soaked alleyway; then may your pillow catch fire! May your pillow catch fire every time a young man with AIDS is dying alone in your neighborhood because nobody cares; then may your pillow catch fire! May your pillow catch fire every time a minority child from the poor side of town is bitten on the face by a rat because this society doesn't care enough to provide adequate and humane housing; then may your pillow catch fire! May your pillow catch fire every time one of your neighbors is sick or aggrieved and needs the simple healing of your holy touch; then may your pillow catch fire! May your pillow catch fire every time there is some simple human kindness waiting for you (yes, you )—no one else, you to bring to birth. May the pillows of your pulsating hearts evermore catch fire, for it is ever and always as Universalist poet Carl Sandburg sang at the very end of his collected poems:
There is only one horse on the earth,
and his name is All Horses.
There is only one bird in the air,
and her name is All Wings.
There is only one fish in the sea,
and the fish's name is All Fins.
There is only man in the world,
and his name is All Men.
There is only one woman in the world,
and her name is All Women.
There is only one child in the world,
and the child's name is All Children.
There is only one maker in the world,
and that maker's children cover the earth,
and they are named All God's Children.
That's us, dear friends, that's us!

The PEC Heliodon
The heliodon is a tool for identifying opportunities for energy savings through climate-responsive architectural design. Our staff is limited and our focus must remain on energy issues. For this reason we cannot accommodate requests to study the shading impact of an addition or new construction project on neighboring residential properties. To make a reservation to use the heliodon, please fill out a Request to Use the Heliodon form and one of our staff members will contact you, usually within 24 hours. If you have questions about the heliodon, please read the Heliodon fact sheet (PDF, 116 KB) or write to us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Over the years, heliodons or "sun machines" have been built in a variety of configurations. In each case, the device creates the appropriate geometrical relationship between an architectural scale model and a representation of the sun. By allowing adjustment for solar declination (season), the earth's rotation (time of day), and site location (latitude) a heliodon can simulate sunlight penetration and shading for any combination of site location and time. The result is a representation of solar patterns for clear sky coditions. Other techniques are often used in concert with heliodon simulations to account for variations in the strength of the sun (due to weather, angle of incidence, and atmospheric attenuation) and local horizon shading. Heliodons provide an effective tool for the visualization and calculation of solar effects at the window, building, or site scale.
Companies have periodically produced manufactured heliodons. Commercially-produced devices have been marketed to architectural firms and, unfortunately, are often compromised by the criterion of low first cost. A more serious generation of devices has been produced in building science research and academic institutions around the world. These devices are fabricated to custom designs and support a more demanding duty cycle.
The PEC Heliodon Design
The heliodon we designed for the PG&E Energy Center uses the fixed-sun/moving earth approach. The sun is represented by a theater spotlight mounted near the ceiling at a distance of 32 feet. Adjustments for season, time, and weather are built into an articulated "table" with the top of the table representing the building site. Advantages of this approach include:
- The fixed-sun, moving-earth heliodon demonstrates the actual motion of the earth relative to the sun. In our design, the moving-earth table has a prominent north pole-south pole axis that tilts toward and away from the fixed-sun for seasonal variation. The whole upper part of the heliodon rotates on the north pole-south pole axis to adjust for time of day. The table top also tilts to adjust for site latitude.
- The light source is relatively inexpensive. The light striking the heliodon, like the sun it represents, should have parallel rays. The fixed-sun, moving-earth scheme approximates parallel rays by placing the light source at a distance. If mounted at 30' from the table, light will diverge less than 2' from the table centerline to its edge.
- The fixed-sun, moving-earth scheme requires relatively little space. If the light source is ceiling mounted and has a clear path to the table location, then a working area of ten feet square is sufficient.
There are two disadvantages traditionally associated with fixed-sun, moving-earth heliodons and both are associated with the action of moving the table and the model attached to it:
- The tilting table will place the model it carries at various angles during a simulation. The model must be constructed to withstand tilts up to 90 from horizontal. In practice, this disadvantage only arises when examining models developed for presentation rather than analysis. It is our experience that the great majority of presentation models can be easily tightened up for heliodon analysis and, in fact, we have yet to turn a model away from the PEC facility.
- It is somewhat difficult to observe patterns of light and shadow when they occur on a moving object. At the PG&E Energy Center we use a variety of techniques to work around this disadvantage. The most powerful of these is a small video camera that moves with the moving model and provides a constant-point-of-view depiction of light and shadow on an adjacent video monitor.
Heliodon Construction
The heliodon at the PG&E Energy Center was designed and built by a three person team. Professor Charles C. Benton of the University of California, Berkeley served as the design expert with principal responsibilities in review and management. Paul LaBerge was the lead designer for the device and resolved the basic issues of its operation and production. Ian Melody, a machinist specializing in prototype devices, provided technical design assistance and the actual construction.
All parts of the heliodon are custom machined and fitted, a process involving over three hundred hours of machining. The PEC heliodon is fabricated with high-quality ball bearings for all movements, a high-strength stainless steel axis shaft, and self-locking steel worm gears for declination and latitude adjustments. The table top, base, supporting structure, axis tube, and cross-axis tubes are all T-6061 aluminum. The main axis has a substantial stainless steel counterbalance. A pinch collar surrounds the main axis shaft to temporarily secure the device at a specific hour.
The legs, main axis tube, cross axis tubes, and handles are bead blasted and then covered with a clear acrylic lacquer finish. The top and base were prepared with a rotary sander and have the same finish coat. The heliodon is fitted with low profile rubber casters and non-marring feet. When repositioning or storing the device it is moved using a custom-fabricated lifting mechanism.
The heliodon installation at the PG&E Energy Center is specific to its particular niche. The table's legs are set to an angle perpendicular to the light coming from the ceiling mounted fixture (the ecliptic plane.) We recently built a second heliodon of the same design for the University of Hawaii and this, too, is custom designed for its setting.
The image opposite shows the heliodon and its accessories. The video monitor (upper left corner of image) displays an image of the interior of the residential model mounted on the heliodon. The image from the point-of-view camera is also routed to the Macintosh computer below the monitor. The shelves behind the heliodon contain the videotape recorder and camera electronics.
Heliodon Accoutrements
Our heliodon is supported by a range of commercially available equipment. As mentioned before, the video imaging system is particularly effective in presenting and archiving the results of heliodon studies. The following roster outlines this supporting equipment:
- -Strand Lighting Fresnelite Spotlight, model #3480 with a BVT 1000-W lamp and a 200-mm fresnel lens. This is a source with a 1 angular width that provides sufficient light for video recording. A less-expensive theater spotlight fixture is a good alternative.
- Toshiba IK-M40A color CCD Point-of-View camera head and camera control unit. This unit provides SVHS resolution (460 horizontal lines) video, S-video output, and interchangeable lenses in a camera the size of a lipstick holder. The unit achieves its small size by placing the electronics in a small remote box. The camera does not have an auto-adjusting iris but the steady light of the heliodon light fixture makes this unnecessary.
- Toshiba 4-mm wide-angle lens for the Toshiba IK-M40A. This lens is roughly equivalent to a 20-mm wide angle lens for a 35-mm still camera. If offers substantial advantages in near focus, depth of field, and wide coverage.
- Toshiba EXC-405C cable. A 5-meter cable to connect the Toshiba IK-M40A camera head to its camera control unit. The cable is available in different lengths.
- Mitsubishi CS2010R television monitor with S-video input. We wall-mount this 20" color monitor adjacent to and above the heliodon for ready reference during tests.
- PC with high-end video card for capture and edit of heliodon video files. The PC also includes a CD/DVD burner, multiple USB ports for external Hard Drives and Flash Drives, and a Multi-Card Reader for other Digital Storage Media (SD, Compact Flash, etc.), allowing for easy save and transfer of video and still files.

By Cathy Callopy
The Dinsmore family owned about two hundred acres of hills behind the main house. Although the hills themselves were utilized as sheep and goat pastures, the lower portion was kept as a horse pasture. If you follow the path to the left of the carriage house, you will find the horse barn, which was originally joined with mortise-and-tenon construction. On top of the ridge was the Dinsmore orchard. According to the 1880 census the farm had approximately one thousand apple trees and one hundred peach trees. The documentation left by James and Julia Dinsmore indicates that they also planted cherry, quince, plum, and pear trees. A tenant house was located on "Cherry Hill" and the cistern from this homesite is still visible from the hiking trail.

Bjork's fifth album, Vespertine could come out 10 years from now and it would still sound startlingly ahead of it's time. Quiet, meditative and stark, the LP is absolutely perfect for these winter months.
"It's Not Up To You" was maybe sorta supposed to be a proper single on the album, but for whatever reason, it never happened. On an album full of abstract rendings of pop music, this is probably the most accessible track on the album, and happens to be my favorite. It's dark. Synths knife through the weightless arrangements and Bjork's quite musings. Then everything swells up into the chorus, which is a moment of melancholic pop genius.
Listen to this really late at night. Especially if you happen to be outside the house. That's where it will hit you.

On 20 September 2012, the United Nations launched the 2012 MDG Gap Task Force Report, entitled "The Global Partnership for Development: Making Rhetoric a Reality".
At the launch of the Report, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged a stronger global partnership to advance progress on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) amid declining aid levels, and called on the international community not to place the burden of fiscal austerity on the backs of the poor.
In March, major progress in achieving the MDGs was reported, with several important targets – on poverty, water, slums and on parity between girls and boys in primary education – having been met.
On the global partnership, however, progress is weaker. The Report notes that after reaching a peak in 2010, in 2011 the volume of official development assistance declined for the first time in many years (by almost three per cent). It warns that with no apparent commitment by donor governments to reverse the trend, it is possible that fewer of the MDGs will be reached in fewer countries by the 2015 deadline.
However, the Report says that while challenging, it is still possible to meet the remaining targets by 2015, but only if governments do not waiver from their commitments made over a decade ago and international support is adequate.
According to the Report, to meet the UN target of 0.7 per cent of donor country gross national income, total overseas development assistance should more than double to about $300 billion (in 2011 dollars), thus leaving a delivery gap of $167 billion against that commitment.
There has also been limited progress in fulfilling other key aspects of the global partnership for development. Despite the poorest countries receiving generous debt relief, many still face unsustainable obligations. And while new financing has been pledged to some disease-specific global health funds, there has been little improvement in recent years in increasing availability and affordability of essential medicines in developing countries.
To address the current situation, the MDG Gap Task Force calls upon the international community to honour its promises and close the gaps between commitments and delivery.
Additional Information:
The MDG Gap Task Force was created five years ago to systematically track existing international commitments and to identify gaps and obstacles in their fulfilment at the international, regional and country level in the areas of official development assistance, market access (trade), debt sustainability, access to essential medicines and new technologies. Its annual report is published in September.

Get DVD Talk Feeds
Years before he hit Hollywood and turned out titles like One Fine Day, The Emperor's Club, and the really funny Soapdish, director Michael Hoffman cut his teeth on a few European indies, one of which is the perfectly quaint Restless Natives. It's a movie that's got more in the "sweetness & scenery" department than in the arena of laughs, but if you're in the mood for a forgettable little trifle, you could probably do a little worse.
Will (Vincent Friell) and Ronnie (Joe Mullaney) are your typical young idiots: One's a shiftless sanitation worker and the other mans a counter at the local novelty shop. Since they have no money, no plans and no prospects, the duo decides that they should motorcycle up into the Scottish hills and rob all the tour buses that drive by. This being a light and wistful comedy from the 1980s, it should come as no surprise to learn that none of the victims really mind all that much. And because Will and Ronnie commit their criminal acts while wearing a pair of goofy Halloween costumes, they both become media darlings all around Scotland.
Of course one of the two knuckleheads will fall in with the wrong crowd and of course the other goofball will fall in puppy love with one of the bus employees and OBVIOUSLY it'll all end up sweet and happy with a nice little Scottish grin on its face. It's a comedy that's never once "laugh out loud" funny, but there's still a halfway decent parcel of wit and good humor found here. Plus it's got some obscure work from the likes of Ned Beatty and Bernard Hill, so that's fun for the movie fans, I suppose.
The star of Restless Natives, though, has got to be the lovely Scottish landscape. If you're from this part of the world and you're currently experiencing some homesickness, you should absolutely get your fingers on this DVD.
The DVD
Video: Anamrophic widescreen, although from a distinctly mid-'80s vintage.
Audio: Dolby Digital 2.0 with optional subtitles in English and Spanish.
Extras: None.
Final Thoughts
A pleasant enough traveling companion for 91 unremarkable minutes, but not a flick you'll remember a week from now.

actually I have heard another reason why Ryan Cruz is taking time away from wrestling right now
Sabre is over on a mini tour of the northeast. Its quite a trip to make it out for a show. I dont think hes staying much after KOT. And he for sure wont be at WINNING as hes working the WxW/CZW shows this weekend.
And, what have you heard about Cruz? I havnt heard anything on the net about his reasoning so Im just wondering whats been floating out there.

Dr. Grumpy's annual holiday gift guide!
For those of you interested in fine merchandise featured in the past, please click here
I'm going to start things off this year with a gift that solves a common argument in modern households:
Him: "We need a new alarm clock."
Her: "I need a new vibrator."
Well, now you can have BOTH! The Little Rooster is an alarm clock AND a vibrator!
Yes, ladies, with this remarkable product you just set the time you want to wake up, put it in your panties, and go to bed (I suppose guys can use it, too, but the sensation isn't the same).
It has 2 motors with 30 different power levels (of which 27 are "silent"- though I don't know if that applies to the gadget, its user, or both) and features a "snorgasm" switch (I SWEAR!) for when you want to go back to sleep.
If you wake up at night wondering what time it is, no need to look at the nightstand: Now you can simply check your crotch!
The site notes it can also be used as a regular alarm clock "for when you simply have to wake up feeling grumpy." I'll let Mrs. Grumpy know.
It's available for $99 in both pink and white, has a "travel lock," and comes with a USB charging cable.
The website says "There is nothing else on Earth like Little Rooster." I'd have to agree with them.

Black Beans with Mexican Beer
These beans have plenty of flavor thanks to ancho and serrano chiles, cumin, coriander, cilantro, beer, and lime.
Making a blended seasoning paste to add to the beans is a great way to punch up the flavor. What to buy: We liked this recipe made with Dos Equis beer, but any lager will work. Just don't use really dark beer. Game plan: Be sure to soak the beans the night before you plan on making the dish.... Read More

Cook the Book: 'The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook'
Deb Perelman needs little introduction. Author of the venerable cooking blog, Smitten Kitchen, she has been cooking (and tweaking) recipes, photographing her results, and sharing them with the world for over six years. Perelman is undoubtedly one of the most popular and prolific food bloggers around, so it's about time she published a cookbook!
The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook is essentially Perelman's blog bound in hardcover. The headnotes are peppered with details on her family, friends, and kitchen quirks. The photographs are sparse, well-lit, and all set on her familiar grey countertop.
And while the recipes stick to Perelman's general ourve (vibrant yet comforting meals) the featured dishes are (for the most part) unique to the book. As on her blog, the recipes are tested and adapted for even the smallest kitchens; many are excellent weeknight solutions, but there are more than a few entertaining-worthy recipes scattered throughout.
This week, we'll take a quick trot though Smitten Kitchen basics. For breakfast, we'll bake Big Cluster Maple Granola. Then we'll toss together two uniquely Perelman salads: Fingerlings Vinaigrette with Sieved Eggs and Pickled Celery and Honey and Harissa Farro Salad. Next, we'll whip up a speedy but full-flavored Mushroom Bourguignon, and then end the week with Harvest Roast Chicken with Grapes, Olives, and Rosemary.
Win 'The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook'
Thanks to the folks at Knopf, we have five (5) copies of The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook to give away next week. All you need to do is tell us about the most blog-worthy meal you've eaten (or cooked) recently.

CANONSBURG, Pa. (AP) — The federal Environmental Protection Agency is fining three western Pennsylvania wastewater plants for discharging natural gas drilling wastewater into the Allegheny River or tributaries that feed it.
The fines are contained in a consent agreement with Hart Resources Technology Inc. and Pennsylvania Brine Treatment Inc., which ran the plants in Indiana and Venango counties when the discharges happened between February 2007 and August 2011.
The companies have since merged to form Fluid Recovery Services of Canonsburg, where officials didn't answer the phone Friday and didn't respond to a request for comment by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, which first reported the fines.
Pennsylvania Brine operated a plant in Franklin and one in Josephine. Hart operated a plant in Creekside.

Socceroo Rogic makes mark on Celtic debut
Socceroos international Thomas Rogic made an immediate impact on his Celtic debut as the Scottish champions fielded a makeshift side before their Champions League last-16 first-leg clash with Juventus on Tuesday.
Celtic beat nearest rivals Inverness Caledonian Thistle 3-1 on Saturday to open up a massive 18-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premier League.
Neil Lennon made nine changes to the side that faced Raith Rovers last weekend with debuts for new signings Rogic and Rami Gershon.
There were also rare starts for Paddy McCourt, Marcus Fraser and Dylan McGeouch, while goalkeeper Fraser Forster made his return from a neck injury.
Lennon's decision looked to have backfired when Inverness, who had defeated Celtic in Glasgow earlier in the season, took an early lead through Nick Ross.
But the Hoops hauled themselves level in the 20th minute when former Central Coast Mariner Rogic set up Kris Commons to hammer home the equaliser.
Fellow debutant Gershon headed Celtic in front for the first time in the 48th minute before Miku wrapped up the scoring in the 82nd minute as Lennon's selection gamble ultimately paid off ahead of their against the Italian league leaders at Parkhead.
"I think you saw a wee glimpse of what's coming through. Marcus Fraser, Dylan McGeouch and Rogic are young players and I thought they were fantastic," Lennon said.
"All in all, to come here against a team in second place with our first team out and to win speaks volumes for the performance of the players today."
His opposite number Terry Butcher was frustrated to see his side lose their fourth straight match.
"I'm not disappointed with the way we played, I'm disappointed with the result and losing three goals," the Inverness manager said.
Inverness took an early lead when Forster's weak clearance from a dangerous Aaron Doran cross only made it as far as the edge of the box, where Ross was on hand to drill a low shot into the bottom left-hand corner of the net.
Rogic was looking assured on his Celtic debut and had a big hand in their 20th-minute equaliser.
The Australian international broke to the byeline before cutting the ball back for team-mate Commons to rifle a thunderous strike beyond Ryan Esson and into the roof of the net.
Rogic then came close to opening his Celtic account as the midfielder clipped an effort just over after being teed up by Anthony Stokes.
Elsewhere, Motherwell missed the chance to move into second as they lost 2-0 away to Kilmarnock, while Dundee United moved up to sixth as new boss Jackie McNamara marked his league debut with a 3-1 win over Hearts, and Aberdeen's clash with St Mirren ended goalless.
On Friday, Ross County won 2-0 at Dundee to leave the Dens Park club 14 points adrift at the foot.
