Stats 202: Intraclass correlation OR Yet another DIPS paper
May 16, 2007 10 Comments
What part of a player's performance is actual talent and what part is just luck?Ā Any player's performance has a little from column A and a little from column B.Ā Sudden gusts of wind can turn fly ball outs into home runs and home runs back into fly ball outs, but in the end, we assume that it all evens out.Ā Players' stats generally (but not always) reflect their abilities and those abilities remain fairly constant from year to year.Ā Even the casual fan can, before the season starts, make up a list who will be the top ten home run hitters in baseball in the coming season, and will probably be right on 7 or 8 of them.Ā Even more, that same casual fan can probably give a pretty good estimation (perhaps we might say "in the ballpark"?) of how manyĀhome runsĀPlayer X will hit in the forthcoming year, assuming that he doesn't get hurt.
Not all stats are stable like that.Ā Pitching stats, in particular, tend to be a little more volatile from year-to-year.Ā Those who dabble in Sabermetrics might be familiar with the wild variations in bullpen ERA that happen from year to year.Ā Relievers are notorious for being a very fickle breed with good stats one year and bad the next.Ā In fact, it was this instability that led V÷r÷s McCracken to take a look at the stability of certain pitching measures over time.Ā His method was to take a look at different metrics in 1998 and 1999 (the years are irrelevant, that's just the data set he used), and to see how strong of a correlation there was between a pitcher's performance in 1998 and in 1999.Ā Those who were above the league average in '98 should also be above average in '99, and those below should be below, assuming that the statistic is measuring some actual skill (one that wouldn't be affected by the simple passage of a year).Ā If that doesn't happen, we start to think that there is no relationship over time, and that the fluctuations have much more to do with luck.
McCrackenĀfound that some measures had high correlations from year-to-year, and some did not.Ā In particular, statistics like a pitcher's strikeout rate, walk rate, and home runs-given-up rate were fairly stable.Ā These are events in which the defense behind the pitcher isn't involved in the outcome of the play.Ā The problem was that when McCracken looked at events in which the ball is in play, using the statistic batting average on balls in play (BABIP), which was a percentage of how often a ball in play went for a hit, he found relatively little correlation.Ā Once the ball was in play, it was up to luck (and the seven guys behind him) to see what would happen to the ball, and his pitching line.
My goal in this tutorial is not to argue the merits of DIPS.Ā That's been done elsewhere by others (and perhaps in the future by me).Ā Google Voros McCracken DIPS and you'll find plenty of discussion on the topic.Ā My goal, instead, is to use a better method than year-to-year correlation to test whether this information is the case.Ā It's not that year-to-year correlation is a horrible thing, just that intraclass correlation is better.Ā Here's the idea: Year-to-year correlations take into account two years worth of data.Ā That's nice, but we have so much more data available!Ā Good old bivariate correlation is limited by the fact that it can only take two data points at a time into consideration.Ā First, it finds the variance shared between the two variables and standardizes them by the product of their combined standard deviations.Ā But, what if correlation could look at multiple years at once?
(I must put in a small disclaimer into the major nerdiness that now follows for my fellow stat-heads.Ā There are several statistical measures that go by the name "intraclass correlation."Ā In what follows, I am specifically referring toĀthe AR1 rho statistic found in variance decomposition/hierarchical/linear mixedĀmodels.Ā If you didn't understand what I just said, don't worry.)
Suppose that I had three years of data:Ā 2004, 2005, and 2006.Ā Clearly, some of the same pitchers were active in all three years, although there were some who retired in 2005 (after retiring in 2004, then proceded to retire again in 2006).Ā The point is that baseball didn't completely reset itself with all new players in any of those years… except 1994 to Spring Training 1995.Ā Let's take a pitcher who pitched in all three years.Ā We can look to see how closely correlated performances were from 2004 to 2005.Ā We can do the same from 2005 to 2006.Ā We can even do it with those who pitched in 2004 to 2006.Ā If a player retired after 2005, we don't need to worry about that.Ā He will be represented in the 2004-2005 covariance term, but not in the 2005-2006 or 2004-2006 term, and the model is able to correct for that (the model is very robust against missing data).
Soon enough, we have what's called a covariance matrix, a very specific type of one called an auto-regressive (level 1) covariance matrix, which is abbreviated AR(1).Ā I'm not a skilled enough mathemetician to fully understand how this works (although I had someone explain it to me once, and it made sense then…), but in the same way that the variance between two variables is standardized by their multiplied standard deviations for bivariate correlation, this matrix can be standardized and simplified down into something comparable.ĀĀAs I understand it, the model can also correct for the fact that pitchers who pitched in 2006 are two years older than they were in 2004, and might have seen some erosion (or growth) in their skill set, and that we might expect less (or more) of them.Ā
The end product of these numerical gymnasticsĀis the intraclass correlation.ĀIntraclass correlation (ICC) varies between 0 and 1, just like a real correlation (I don't recall it ever being negative, but I've been wrong before), and gives an idea of how much of aĀperformance is consistent within an individual over repeated observations (and how much is due to other factors, including luck).Ā An ICC of zero means that the measure, whatever it happens to be, is not consistent over time at all, to the point where it could be considered entirely the product of other factors.Ā An ICC of one means that performance is due entirely to factors endogenous to the individual.Ā Needless to say, neither extreme ever happens.
The advantage of ICC over year-to-year correlations is simple: we could, in theory, expand our data set to include 20 years (although for methodological reasons, I wouldn't recommend that).Ā More data is always better.Ā A few outliers in aĀdataset (pitchers who hadĀ"career" years?)Ācan really mess around with a correlation value and make it look less significant than it truly is.Ā With ICC, the danger of this happening has been lessened through multiple observations.Ā The number that it spits out can be read in much the same way as a correlation.Ā In fact, squaring an ICC gives much the same information as a regular r-squared value, in this case, what percentage of the variance is accounted for by factors specific to the individual.
In short, ICC is a good measure of whether a particular statistic represents a skill that's consistent from year to year or something that's more given toĀvariation due to luck.Ā For those interested in prediction models, ICC holds the promise of giving more accurate terms to use when looking at regression to the mean.
OK, OK, so we know what it does, can we see an example?Ā Let's look at the four stats that McCracken looked at in his original work: walk rate, strikeout rate, home run rate, and BABIP.Ā I took all MLB pitchers from 1999-2005 in the Lahman database (I didn't have my updated 2006 version with me on my data stick), and selected for those with at least 50 IP in each year.Ā I didn't adjust for park factors (althoughĀI probably should… it's nearing the end of the quarter here in professor-land).Ā I calculated ICC's for all four stats, and for comparison, calculated year-to-year correlations from 2004-2005.ĀĀ As always, when working with rate variables, it's best to take the log of the odds ratio whenever running analyses with them.
Results were largely consistent with McCracken's original model.Ā Walk rate had an ICC of .609 and strike out rate checked in at .740.Ā Year-to-year correlations were .609 and .754, respectively.Ā For home run rates, the ICC was .364 (yty = .308), suggesting that there was less stability among HR rates than walk and strike out rates.Ā ICC was slightly higher for home runs than the year-to-year correlation, although again, these are unadjusted for park.Ā BABIP's ICC?Ā (I just did an entire sentence out of acronyms… I think that's crossing a line.)Ā .181, which compares to a year-to-year correlation of .098.Ā BABIP, which is the cornerstone of DIPS theory looks a little more in control of the pitcher in the ICC model (an R-squared value of 3.2% compared to something a bit south of 1% in the year-to-year model.) Still, it looks like Mr. McCracken's assumptions are right on.
There's nothing revolutionary here in terms of findings.Ā What I would hope is that in evaluating whether a metric is measuring a stable skill or a luck, that Sabermetricians would use the AR(1) method.Ā It's actually the first step in another technique that I like to use called hierarchical linear modeling.Ā Perhaps more on that some day.

I have used Yoxos before and have managed to (almost) get it working how I wanted. I understand that it's designed so you launch a profile from the .yoxos file which is created when the profile is saved. I found a hack that allows you to add a file to the taskbar, which works fine, however when I launch from the .yoxos file and Eclipse runs, and is a separate item in the taskbar. How can I make it so when the file is launched, the Eclipse application is part of that item on the taskbar? If I pin Eclipse to the taskbar and launch it, all the Yoxos customization components fail to load.
Anyone got any ideas?

Shaquille O'Neal and new gal pal Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander don't exactly match up.
The recently retired (and previously married) basketball star, 39, stands nearly two feet taller than his gal – O'Neal is 7' 1" tall, while his leading lady, 28, is just 5' 2".
The tattooed duo, spotted shopping over the weekend in Calabasas, Calif., appeared to be struggling to share a kiss, thanks to the 23-in. height difference. O'Neal awkwardly bent down while Alexander struck a tippy-toed pose.
The couple may not line up size-wise, but they do share a common tie when it comes to sports.
Alexander – who got the nickname "Hoopz" during her winning season on VH1's Flavor of Love reality show – was a star basketball player in high school and continues to play the sport regularly for fun.

By Karl Weisel (USAG Wiesbaden)September 23, 2009
WIESBADEN, Germany - Garrison leaders recognized employees for saving millions of dollars and having dedicated more than 1,400 years of service during a ceremony in the Community Activity Center Sept. 10.
"When I think of the hard work and dedicated representatives in this room, I am humbled," said Col. Jeffrey Dill, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden commander.
Referring to the common perception of noncommissioned officers as being the "backbone of the Army," Dill said that "over a lifetime of affiliation with the U.S. Army I've come to realize that civilian employees are the backbone of the community."
Dill and Command Sgt. Maj. Hector Prince awarded certificates, cash and letters of recognition to more than 100 garrison employees during the ceremony which focused on the successful completion of special projects resulting in financial savings and length of service.
The ceremony led off by honoring several groups of individuals involved in the Lean Six Sigma program aimed at making the garrison a more effective and efficient organization. Thanks to their efforts, more than $3 million were saved, according to community leaders.
Leaders of the Lean Six Sigma teams recognized included Joyce Green (Directorate of Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation team), Sabine Schindler (Directorate of Logistics team), Erica Reichel (Directorate of Public Works/Transformation Stationing Management Office team), Paul Howard and Austin Moore (Directorate of Emergency Services team) and David Wright (Lean Six Sigma black belt and trainer).
Letters of thanks were presented to Wayne Sisk of the garrison's Directorate of Human Resources on behalf of Col. John S. Kem, commander of the Europe District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Diane Devens, Installation Management Command-Europe.
Four employees were honored for having dedicated a total of 160 years of service. Waldamar Feliciano, chief of DPW's Housing Division; Christopher Franzmann with the Directorate of Resource Management's Budget Branch, Werner Kiedrowitz with DPW's Electrical Branch and Francesco Milazzo with DPW's Heating Branch were recognized for 40 years of service each.
'Make the best of it'
"It's been a great experience," said Feliciano, a military veteran. "I've always tried to make the best of it - to keep my spirits up and to stay positive."
Feliciano, who said he is looking forward to retirement at the end of 2010, added that while the job was challenging at times, he is proud of having established a family and the work experience.
"I learned a lot personally and professionally over the years," said Kiedrowitz, explaining that having the opportunity to meet so many different people from so many different backgrounds was a fascinating opportunity. "The job was fun. There were challenges, but I overcame them. I learned a lot."
Although not sure if he would remain with the U.S. Army early in his career after having answered a job ad seeking young electricians, "after 40 years here I am still. If I hadn't liked the job I wouldn't have stayed. I've made great friendships."
Forty years ago Francesco Milazzo had just finished service in the Italian Army when his brother told him about a job with the U.S. military community in Wiesbaden. Although he only spoke a little German and no English, that didn't stop him from enjoying a lengthy career.
When asked how he felt on the occasion, his answer was simple - "older."
For 40-year veteran Franzmann and 35-year honoree Kenneth Isted, assistant chief of prevention for DES's Fire Protection Division, their lengthy relationship with the U.S. military started after music and romance brought them to stay in Germany. Both first traveled from their native Great Britain to Germany with touring rock bands which played clubs and other venues.
"I came to Germany as a musician, met a girl, fell in love," said Franzmann, who spent many years working for the U.S. military in Giessen before ending up in Wiesbaden.
Isted, too, spent several years playing music on the club scene before marrying a German woman and eventually deciding to seek employment in Bad Kreuznach where he went on to serve as the fire chief for 20 years before coming to Wiesbaden in 2001.
"I enjoyed the diversity," said Franzmann, "made great acquaintances - mostly great people. It was a great opportunity to work with Americans, to understand their culture - many people with big hearts."
After 40 years of having left his English band, Franzmann said he still enjoys pulling out the Les Paul and Marshall amp occasionally and "fiddling around on acoustic."
Garrison leaders also recognized employees for 30, 25, 20, 15, 10 and five years of service during the awards ceremony.
"Thank you very much for all your years of service - we couldn't do it without you," said the commander in conclusion.

I have decided to develop a 3D game, and I need a new PC with recent hardware to use as my "baseline" for performance and compatibility profiling/testing.
Now, I would like to test it on both a recent NVidia and ATI (now AMD) graphic cards, but I would hate to have to buy two different PCs just for that. Intel/AMD compatibility is a non-issue nowadays, but you can't assume program-once-run-everywhere when it comes to 3D. I gathered that PhysX in NVidia will be disabled, but since it's NVidia-specific, and I can only have enough time to use cross-platform APIs (like OpenGL), I'm not really affected by that.
So, to restate my question: Is their any major issues (apart from PhysX) when using a NVidia and an ATI graphic cards in the same (most likely Windows 7 x64 + Linux dual-boot) PC? Will the drivers "break" each other, or cause some major performance penalty?
I would prefer answers from someone who actually done this, instead of just pure speculation base on some article, although a reference to a recent article would also be useful.

- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
I'm fully expecting to be posting answers during DevDays... at least occasionally.
I promise not to do so during my own talk though.
(I should try to remember how the outside world tends to treat presentations, actually. During Google Tech Talks it's entirely expected for a large proportion of the room to have a laptop open, checking mail, doing code reviews, etc. while people are talking. That doesn't tend to go down so well elsewhere.)
Ok, I promise I won't be as dumb as you.

Description: Mohawks, stage diving, fists flying. Homemade band t-shirts, circle pits, singalongs. These scenes are not unfamiliar; they have flooded pop culture imagery for more than 25 years. The punk rock ethos gains new relevance in Israel when band members' choices are often between picking up a guitar or picking up a gun. "Jericho's Echo" introduces us to some of the colorful characters of the little-known Israeli punk scene, and gives us insights into their lives through interviews, verite' scenes and live musical footage. The young people in these bands represent the future of this important region, and their views are not those usually portrayed by the mainstream media.

This film had tremendous influence on documentary film making and in
many ways is still ahead of its time. John Cassavetes, the great
American independent director, once said that Rogosin is "probably the
greatest documentary filmmaker of all time." "Wait a minute," you might
say, "that isn't what I was taught in film school!" To understand that
quote, and the impact of "On the Bowery," you would have to understand
the world of documentary film making in the 1950's.
Robert Flaherty, and Walter Ruttmann were the people who had largely shaped what documentary film making had become in the 50's. Flaherty had shown us natural people in natural settings. This in itself was not new, but his mastery of film skills raised the documentary to an art form. His images were beautiful and haunting, and that eventually became the norm for good documentaries. Ruttmann, in his film "Berlin; Symphony of a Great City," photographed a day in the life of Berlin, and edited it to match the structure of a symphony. Once again we saw the marriage of documentary and high art. This was copied by Dziga-Vertov (who is often given credit for Ruttmann's innovations) in his "Man with a Movie Camera" and by others.
There were, of course, other influential film makers. There is, for example, a tradition of political films and propaganda pieces that are often thought of as documentaries. But in discussing non-political, documentaries in the world of 1957, they were generally highly aesthetic, and usually about fairly safe subjects such as native people, famous scientists, animals etc. The films were sometimes scripted, and a representative story (not a real story) of the lives of the people was done using native non-professional actors. "On the Bowery" can be seen as a transitional piece between the Flaherty school and modern documentaries, On one hand it is aesthetic, and contains some script, but on the other, it is mostly unscripted. The film also has a strong feel of reality. This is because the people in the film were going through their daily routine rather than acting. Instead of coming up with a representative story, the scripted parts of the film are recreations of a specific, real story, played by the person who lived it. It is interesting to note that after the film was shown the main character was offered $40,000 and a Hollywood film contract. He refused it and went back to the Bowery. I do not know what became of him. Doc, (who had been a real doctor at one time) stayed on the Bowery and died of a heart attack shortly after the film.
Because it is partly scripted, it is often misunderstood as being fictional, but Rogosin methods reflect this connection with reality. He spent 6 months studying and observing, then a year and a half filming. You don't need to spend a year and a half to film a fictional script. I attended a screening of the film in the 60's put on by Rogosin and was able to ask him some questions. The scripted scenes came out of the the real life events that occurred during the filming, not the other way around. "On the Bowery" is clearly the breakthrough film that that paved the way for today's documentary style.
Another breakthrough occurred with the subject of the film and the way it was treated. Instead of animal life, native people, or a famous person, the subject was alcoholics on New York's skid-row. This was pretty much unheard of at the time except in the political/propaganda type of documentary. But unlike the political documentary, there was no comment or judgment or manipulation of the footage to lead you to a conclusion that the film maker wanted you to have. As an audience member you feel free to interpret it as you like, and many people had different ideas of what it meant. In doing this Rogosin is ahead of his time even today.
In an article in "Film Culture" 1960, "Interpreting Reality (Notes on the Esthetics and Practices of Improvisational Acting)", Rogosin gives his "Manifesto" for documentary film making. Although he respects Flaherty and his school he feels that they are not actually making documentaries. Also he rejects true documentaries as being a, "meaningless catalog of stale, factual representation," and even says that he does not make documentaries. Instead he wanted to spontaneously film elements of reality and "put it in a form that would capture the imaginations of others." This is not the same as making a representative story. The scripted scenes in "On the Bowery" are made from the actual experiences of the people in the film. They are being recreated by the people who lived them. This clearly sets him apart from even modern documentary film makers.
Another thing that still sets Rogosin apart is that he gives his characters dignity. It is very easy for a documentary film maker to ridicule people, or show them in a bad light, especially because they no way to make a rebuttal to the audience viewing the film. Modern documentary film makers too often fall into this trap. Rogosin's effort was just the opposite. "I want to give man a new dignity, to make a true national hero of a Nebraska farmer, a Pennsylvania coal miner, a Harlem taxi driver," Rogosin says in his 1960 article. He certainly succeeds in doing this in "On the Bowery." You walk out of the theater with a sense that these people have a certain nobility in their lives; that they are not caricatures but distinct individuals. Not an easy job, considering the subject matter.
"On the Bowery" was a groundbreaking film, but it is also a film that is still unique in its vision of what a documentary film should be. Even today it is ahead of its time.

All Rise...
Trust me, Judge Patrick Naugle's world is not any more impressive in 3D.
The Charge
Dive into a sea of color and delight!
The Case
Fascination Coral Reef 3D: Mysterious Worlds Underwater is a perfect film to watch if you want to fall asleep within, oh, say ten minutes.s The entire movie consists of watching fish swim around a reef while the narrator calmly describes the action—and believe me, I'm using the word "action" so lightly it could float away at a moment's notice. And it's not even narration you'll care about! None of the information is of great interest. Fo example, "reefs make great hiding places and there's food here, too." Absolutely riveting educational material.
Essentially, this 3D Blu-ray is the equivalent of staring at a really big aquarium. There are seemingly endless stretches of turtles swimming, angel fish darting about, undulating coral reefs and sea urchins. Nothing actually happens in this film! At one point, moray eels show up, but all they do is poke their heads out of their homes and then head back inside. A puffer appears, but all he does is swim around. There's a reason everyone looks forward to Discovery Channel's annual Shark Week—we get to actually see something exciting! So, if Shark Week is the Led Zeppelin of nature shows, Fascination Coral Reef 3D: Mysterious Worlds Underwater is Barry Manilow in muzak form.
This is gonna be a pretty big bore for anyone over the age of ten. Yes, the coral reefs look pretty and the fish are all cute and colorful, but after a while it all becomes insanely monotonous. If watching various sea creatures swim around for an hour sounds like a riveting way to spend an evening, by all means pick up this disc as quickly as possible. Otherwise, I suggest something with a little more bite, like Jaws…or even Jaws: The Revenge.
Presented in 1.78:1/1080p high definition widescreen, Universal gives us both 3D and 2D options. I was really expecting this transfer to pop, but it fizzled with an image is not very good. Colors are acceptable but the detail is often murky, which may be due in part to the photography. Either way, this is barely a step above DVD. The DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio tracks (in multiple languages) are passable at best. There are some minor surround sounds to be found here—mostly bubbles and swooshing sounds of fish—but it's hardly an exciting home theater experience. If you need subtitles, get ready because there's a lot of them: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Italian, Arabic, Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Icelandic, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Mandarin (Traditional), Norwegian, Swedish, Thai, and Turkish. Finally, there are no bonus features, but you'll be sound asleep anyways, so it won't matter.
Fascination Coral Reef 3D: Mysterious Worlds Underwater 3D (Blu-ray) is only a few ticks up from a virtual fireplace.

Any Way You Carve It
Out with the pie and in with the quesadillas. Thirteen new ways to cook pumpkin from some of America's top chefs
You may have noticed that it's pumpkin season. Which of course means sunset-colored monsters are weighing down porches and piling up outside farmstands.
But it also means that thousands of other varieties are hitting their prime—tender, mild-flavored squashes ripe for culinary experimentation. "We are fixated on the large orange balls of cucurbita," says Amy Goldman, author of "The Compleat Squash," referring to the scientific name for the squash family. "It's time to wake up to some of the finer-flavored varieties and species."
Little green ones called kabocha, for instance, are delicious in curries. Sugar pie, a chef favorite, can do double duty as a savory side or a sweet custard, as it does at Gramercy Tavern in New York City. In Mexico, the seeds and flesh of a forest green variety called calabasa go straight into stews, tacos and empanadas.
Those are just a few of the ways to take pumpkin beyond the jack-o-lantern, and way beyond the Thanksgiving sideboard. "I think there is a misconceived notion that pumpkin is only good for pie," says chef Jose Garces of Distrito in Philadelphia.
Here, his recipe for pumpkin quesadillas, along with 12 others from chefs around the country—no creative knife work required.
Pumpkin Quesadilla
Roast a halved and cleaned pumpkin seasoned with salt and olive oil for 30 minutes, or until tender. Remove flesh. Mix with caramelized onions, a roasted, peeled and sliced poblano pepper, toasted pumpkin seeds and Chihuahua cheese. Press a heaping of mix between two corn tortillas and griddle on both sides. --chef Jose Garces, Distrito in Philadelphia
Pumpkin Cake
Cream five egg yolks and a ½ cup of sugar. Mix in 1 cup grated pumpkin and ½ cup tempered chocolate until smooth. Mix in 2 tablespoons almond flour, 1 cup flour, 2 tablespoons bread crumbs, ½ cup chopped hazelnuts, a dash of cinnamon and seeds from 1 vanilla bean. Don't over mix. Separately, beat 5 egg whites while gradually adding ¼ cup of sugar until stiff. Fold in meringue. Fill buttered loaf pan and bake at 325 degrees for 35 minutes. --chefs Wolfgang Ban and Eduard Frauneder, Seasonal Restaurant & Weinbar in New York City
Cut off top of a softball-sized pumpkin and clean out guts. Season with salt, pepper, olive oil, brown sugar and a pinch curry powder. Roast at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until flesh is tender but not mushy. Fill with your favorite meat stew. --chef Cathal Armstrong, Restaurant Eve in Alexandria, Va.
Roasted Pumpkin
Toss large cubes of pumpkin with salt, pepper and olive oil. Roast at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, or until tender, mixing every few minutes for even color and cooking. Serve as a side dish or tossed with short pasta. —chef Michael Anthony, Gramercy Tavern in New York City
Pumpkin Custard
Halve and remove seeds from pumpkin. Season with salt, pepper, olive oil and brown sugar, and roast at 350 degrees until tender. Remove meat. Blend 1 quart of pulp with 4 egg yolks and 1 cup of cream. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Pour into oven-safe ramekins. Bake in water bath at 300 degrees until set. —chef Michael Anthony
Pumpkin Marmalade
Tie 10 sprigs of thyme and seeds of 1 orange and 2 lemons in cheesecloth. In stainless steel pot, combine thinly sliced orange and lemons, 3 cups water and cheesecloth. Bring to boil, simmer for 30 minutes. Remove cheesecloth bag. Add 4 cups brown sugar and cook on low until sugar dissolves. Add 8 cups cubed pumpkin. Cook on medium heat until mixture has thickened, about 45 minutes. Serve with warm bread and cheese. —chef Tyson Podolski, Summer Winter Restaurant in Burlington, Mass.
Pumpkin Seed Granola
Heat 1/3 cup brown sugar, ¼ cup canola oil and ¼ cup honey until incorporated. Transfer to bowl and mix in 2 cups each of rolled oats and pumpkin seeds and a pinch each of cinnamon and ground ginger. Transfer to a lined sheet tray and bake at 325 degrees, mixing every 15 minutes for about 1 hour. —chef Alex Seidel, Fruition Restaurant in Denver
Pumpkin Pickles
Boil 3 cups each of water and vinegar, a ¼ cup each of sugar and salt, 2 tablespoons of peppercorns and 6 sage sprigs. Simmer for 5 minutes. In a bowl, combine 4 pounds of shaved pumpkin and 20 leaves of sage chiffonade. Strain liquid over mix. Let cool. Cover and refrigerate for two days. Store in airtight container for a month. —chef Tyson Podolski
Pumpkin Gratin
Peel, seed and slice a two-pound pumpkin into ¼-inch strips. Toss in melted butter, salt and pepper. Roast until cooked but firm. Combine ½ cup cream, bay leaf, 4 cloves and a pinch of nutmeg in a saucepan. Reduce over heat by a third. Strain. Reserve cream. Layer a quarter of the cooked pumpkin in bottom of buttered baking dish. Dot with some of a ½ cup of fromage blanc. Repeat until you have four layers. Pour cream over gratin. Top with ½ cup Gruyere, cover with toasted brioche bread crumbs and bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees. —chef Chris Kronner, Bar Tartine in San Francisco
Austrian Pumpkinseed Spread
Bring 1 cup Austrian farmer's cheese to room temperature. Mix in 3 teaspoons of ground pumpkin seeds and 4 teaspoons pumpkin seed oil. Refrigerate and serve with bread. —chefs Wolfgang Ban and Eduard Frauneder
Spiced Pumpkin Puree

In skillet, simmer 4 cloves and ½ cup wine for 5 minutes to remove alcohol. Strain. Reserve wine. Transfer pumpkin meat to blender with 2 tablespoons butter, wine and a pinch each of fresh ground nutmeg, cayenne and mace. Puree until smooth. Season to taste. Pass through a fine mesh sieve if smoother texture desired. Serve alongside roasted chicken ior pork chops. —chef Chris Kronner
Sweet-and-Sour Butternut Squash
Heat 3 tablespoons of canola oil in a wok or frying pan over medium heat. Add a small piece of peeled and minced ginger. Cook for 1 minute. Add a chopped green chili and a pinch each of fenugreek and cayenne. Cook for 30 seconds. Stir in large cubes of a two-pound pumpkin. Add 1½ teaspoons each of salt and sugar. Cover and cook over medium, stirring every few minutes until pumpkin is tender, about 25 minutes. Reduce heat if spices begin to burn. Stir in juice of half a lemon or lime, mashing in a few pieces for texture. Season and serve. —chef Suvir Saran, Devi in New York City
Pumpkin Cream Cheese
Cut ¼ cup of cream cheese into cubes and leave out until soft. Mix cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of sour cream, 1 cup of roasted pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt and a pinch each of cinnamon and nutmeg until incorporated. —chef Alex Seidel

I am letting my users select files from the music library. After which I am storing the path of the selected files locally. Now my problem is how do I get access to the files programmatically from these paths? Here are a couple of things I've tried.
Say my pathname is D:\Xyz\abc.mp3
StorageFolder S=KnownFolders.MusicLibrary;
Alternative 1:
StorageFile MyFile=await S.GetFileAsync("abc.mp3"); //File not found error
// I figure this doesn't work cause GetFileAsync method can only get files from the current folder
Alternative 2:
S=await S.GetFolderAsync("Xyz"); //After which I planned to do GetFileAsync. But this also gives a folder not found error.
And Finally I've tried S=await S.GetFolderAsync("D");
Any help as to how I get access to the file or even an alternate way to achieve my goal would be fantastic !
P.S : StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync("D:\Xyz\abc.mp3") says I don't have permission to access.
