Unbeaten Dike-New Hartford is winning its games by an impressive average of 44 to 8.
Nashua-Plainfield came in with a 3-2 record and has been explosive offensively. The Huskies are producing 34 points a game, but they are also giving up 30 per contest.
After forcing a Huskies 3 and out to open the game, D-NH marches 65 yards on their opening drive capped by Levi Lynch and a 1-yard run to give the Wolverines a 7-0 lead.
On the Wolverines' ensuing series, Carson Parker -- looking like Colin Kaepernick on the read option -- takes it 61 yards to the house to give D-NH a 14-0 lead.
In the second, Levi Lynch caps another Wolverine drive with a tiptoeing, 13-yard run down the sideline to give Dike-New Hartford a 21-0 lead.
With the half winding down, and D-NH looking to atone for the some turnovers, they march 93 yards as Parker throws it up top. Preston Wheat for a 13-yard touchdown, and the Wolverines go on to roll 35-0.

"I can't thank the Penguins enough for giving me this opportunity, and ... I haven't had this much fun playing hockey in a long time. This is just an incredible feeling -- it's why we love this game so much.">>Billy Guerin: 7G, 8A, in 24 playoff GP, and digging hockey a bit more than when he left as Islanders captain.
Three former Islanders won the 2009 Stanley Cup, filling key supplementary roles on the NHL's championship team.
This Penguins-Red Wings finals rematch reminds me more of 1987 than of 1984.
How do you know when a fanpost resonates? When it receives more "recs" than comments. (And the comments amount to, "You said it.") I just thought this -- from a Blackhawks fan at season's end, just hours after the final goal -- captured what it's like to follow a team, up and down, through a season's journey.
A random encounter on sports talk radio illustrates mainstream U.S. sports media's comical relationship with the NHL hockey fan.
This Islanders fan will be rooting on the Penguins in the finals, with their ex-Islanders Bill Guerin, Ruslan Fedotenko and Miro Satan, plus former assistant coach Dan Bylsma.
Belated NHL Conference finals picks -- and review of our second-round picks -- at Lighthouse Hockey.
Just when the Canucks looked to ruin hockey in Game 4 in Chicago, the hockey gods deliver yet another Capitals-Penguins gem in Game 5.
The hype will rightly center on the two marquee stars, but the Caps-Penguins series -- like the other second-round NHL series -- will pivot on the play of their teammates and the goaltenders who...

Refused to set unsafe header "Connection"
9 June 2011 at 3:33am
I am getting an error message in Chrome that says 'Refused to set unsafe header "Connection"' on several websites that we have deployed to their live server. we do not see any problems with this during local development or when the site is on a staging server behind our firewall.
when we receive this message it seems to be when we start a new browsing session, and when we log into the cms we notice that complextablefields do not load correctly, and it looks like they are missing their styling. (this is when we receive the error). if we refresh the browser the error message goes away and everything seems to run fine until the next session.
i saw some other posts saying to check for extra carriage returns after the closing ?> php tag, but i'm using short tags and dont have the closing php tag just for this reason.
also, this only happens at work. if i log in from home or on another network i don't see the error message.
any ideas what could be causing this?

I get the same error, but I also get it in my local dev environment (using MAMP). I believe this error is isolated to Chrome, as I've never seen this error in any other browser.
Also this error has not affected any styling and my complexTableFields load just fine.
I kind of assumed that this had something to do with my work firewall, as I don't get this at home either, but I'm starting to wonder if it has something more to do with my addons or something in chrome rather than SilverStripe.
Re: Refused to set unsafe header "Connection"

its browser independent for me. i get the problem with firefox, ie, safari, and chrome on any silverstripe cms outside our network. chrome is the only browser that reports the error though, but chrome seems better at reporting errors than any other browser and/or plugin (even firebug). (i realized this when working with html5 offline data storage and its about the only useful browser for debugging cache manifest problems).
have you seen this post? the writer eliminated carriage returns after the closing php ?> tag and it fixed things for them. i am not including the closing ?> tag in my php as silverstripe recommends using short tags to avoid problems like this, so this solution doesnt work for me unfortunately, but it may help you.

yeah I've seen that post, but I too don't use closing tags in my php files.
Now I'm really interested in finding more out about this error.
I wonder, do you get the same error on a fresh install of SS with NO added modules or widgets?
Re: Refused to set unsafe header "Connection"

I havent tried.. i never really interact with a fresh installation of silverstripe in a production environment. i'll have to run a test shortly.

i tested this on a new installation of silverstripe (2.4.5) and needed to slightly customize page.php to provide a CTF in getCMSFields, but i do see the Refused to set unsafe header "Connection" error.
some odd clues:
- i get this error message whenever i load a tablefield, in the security section or the Site pages section. even if i refresh the browser, i still get the error messages.
- if i open chrome and log in, in the pages section i see tablefields that look like they do not have styles applied to them, but if i refresh the browser they do have styles applied to them. in the security section, everything looks fine (but i still get the error).
are you guys seeing the same thing?

I've been trying to read up on this error as well, only to find out that I know far too little about http So ignore if you think this is nonsense...
I suppose this does have something to do with the Connection header. The only place I actually see it being set is somewhere in prototype.js:
if (this.transport.overrideMimeType)
requestHeaders.push('Connection', 'close');
This is definitely being called on pages containing a CTF (checked with an alert('*******'); ). Removing it is no option, since the CMS won't load, it seems. So I was wondering: what if you were to replace the CTF with a DataObjectManager, that doesn't use ProtoType, just to check?
It seems in HTTP prior to 1.1, setting Connection: close is not supported. I don't know if this is true (please guru's) but just to check - do your problemservers return HTTP1.1?

Relief efforts are ongoing along the Jersey Shore after Hurricane Sandy ravaged the area.
Many people are, for the first time, getting to see the destruction the storm left behind – while others are beginning the process of gutting their damaged homes and rebuilding.
Sandy hit Sea Bright, New Jersey especially hard, and one official told us they're estimating hundreds of millions of dollars in damages. In Sea Bright, there is a checkpoint here because officials are worried about looters.
It's been almost two weeks since Sandy hit and parts of the Jersey Shore are still a mess. Piles of flooded trash still litter sidewalks in Belmar and in Sea Bright, construction continues into the night as residents try to get back to normal.
"This past week looking at the destruction it felt like a movie," said one resident.
A movie that became a reality for many residents along the Jersey Shore and the damage and destruction still surreal. Many residents have only recently returned home.
"Normalcy at this point, extremely beneficial and extremely appreciative and that's all I'm looking for right now," said another tired resident.
Parts of Belmar and Sea Bright remain in the dark. One utility crew just arrived from South Carolina.
"There's a lot of devastation, mainly on the ocean front. Lots of limb damage, tree damage," said South Carolina utility worker Dayton Brown.
In many devastated parts, a curfew is still in effect as officials now worry about looters.
"We have had several arrests from people attempting to loot and our police are being very aggressive about that," said Belmar Mayor Matt Doherty.
"We've made tremendous progress getting all the water out of town. Pumping it back into the Atlantic Ocean," said Belmar Mayor Doherty. At the height (of the storm) we were pumping out 60,000 gallons a minute. We're making great progress picking up the debris from the destroyed boardwalk, the one frustration we have now is power."
Mayor Doherty showed Fox 5 News around the town's shelter and distribution center and said a gym contains only a fifth of what Belmar has received in donations.
Meantime Jersey Shore residents like George Szanto are now volunteering their time to help others. He says it's better than sitting in his cold and powerless home.
"No power, no heat, no hot water – surviving. This has actually been the best two weeks of my life. I've seen the best and the worst and it's very enlightening," said Szanto.

Definition of Vertebra, second cervical
Vertebra, second cervical: The second cervical vertebra is called the axis. It is so-named because the uppermost cervical vertebra (called the atlas) rotates about the odontoid process of the second cervical vertebra. The joint between the axis and atlas is a pivot type of joint. It allows the head turn.
The Latin word "axis" means axle or pole. The axis bone serves as the axle about which the atlas (and the head) turn.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

Nice video and ford pickup!
Re: Cub restoration from Argentina
Very nice Job on engine. Great building to work in also!!
Re: Cub restoration from Argentina
Hello everybody, everything is going really good in the reassembly of the tractor, i know that is not a very safe way to start the engine without being attach to a frame but it was just for some little time, and i always stop the engine before the water boil.
I had finished to assembly the from axle.
Yesterday i work cleaning the rear part of the tractor with a paint removal chemical,
Today I'm going to keep working on the tractor, i found out that i had lost several screws jaja, but luckily in the manual there are the sizes of all the screws
I can't import easyli tires to Argentina, right now the country is a kind similar to Cuba, the president stops most of the imported stuff at the border..
I found back tires in Chile 8.3 x 24, nice ones, they cost 230 US each one, in my place i only found 9.5 x 24 at 550US each one
I am going to try to import the from tires!
In two days my uncle is coming from Nebraska and bringing some more part for the little expensive Cub.

Looks really good! Can't wait to see it all together!

Re: Cub restoration from Argentina
I like the bolt head in the bottom of the bolster for your coolant drain. Is that something that you added or was it like that when you bought the tractor? One other interesting thing that I think I have seen on just about every Cub Bolster pictured... the nipple coming out of the bolster for the water outlet has a chip out of it... Most of the bolsters I have seen have this defect in the outlet nipple. It is almost like it was a factory defect. It's not something that is a problem at all as the hose will seal just fine. It is just a curiosity.
I'd love to know the story of this cub and how it came to Argentina!

Re: Cub restoration from Argentina
Hello Mike how are you doing? the drain plug was already in the tractor when i bought it, the original is a square head bolt right? this one has the threads very bad, probably i will buy a new one, i guess the plug is from a car oil plug, the outlet niple had a lot of rust thats way it is not in very good shape, but i decided to keep most of the original parts in the tractor.
I would love to know the story of this tractor, the past owner was a spanish immigrant who already died, i would try to find some information of the story!.
It came with a sickle bar mower and a plow.
Have a nice day Mike.
Re: Cub restoration from Argentina
The original would have been a square-headed pipe-threaded plug. Someone made a modification to my 1955 cub in the past to put a straight bolt into that hole, and it works really well as it is. Easier to get something on the head to get it out in my case.
Your progress is coming along well. If you ever need to skype, feel free to hit me up on there as well...
Good luck and talk to you soon!
Re: Cub restoration from Argentina
Here are some more pictures, today i am going to finish the reassembly of the rear axle! the rear axle was very dirty with oil and dust, take many hours to clean everythin and reassembly the parts!.
In one picture there is a question for you guys!
Can somebody give me the right size of the bolts that goes in the rear axle to hold implements and the rear bar? i have many different screw sizes..
Thank you!
Re: Cub restoration from Argentina
Implement bolts are 5/8-11 x 1" threaded portion. Some other implement bolts are 5/8-11 x 1-1/4" long (depends on the implement).
See here: http://www.tmtractor.com/new/dr/324-1fp.htm
Or you can make your own: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=56389&p=464394&hilit=implement+bolt+size#p464394

Re: Cub restoration from Argentina
The bolt in the lower left of this picture is the correct bolt to hold implements and the drawbar to the tractor.
Normally, you would not use the washer on this bolt because its taper will help to keep the drawbar bracket centered and will help to keep the bolt tight...
As Stanton said, these are available from TM Tractor or other IH dealers. Don't know about importation to Argentina, though...

Re: Cub restoration from Argentina
There is a lotta love going into this project!
Re: Cub restoration from Argentina
In the 3rd picture in your last post just above, the bottom-most bolt sticking out of the final drive housing is the type to use for the drawbar plates and most (but not all) of the implement mounts. It is important to use the tapered head, just like the one in the picture I noted above. If the tapered headed bolts are not used then the vibration causes the bracket holes to become larger and the mount is sloppy and vibrates the implement causing damage. Stanton gave links to buy or make your own. They are frequently for sale on ebay.
I think the bent rod in the other picture is a linking rod between the front and rear rockshaft. It raises and lowers implements mounted to the rear of the tractor. It should be bent, not straight.

Aside from it being good practice to load your site as quickly as possible to lower your bounce rate, a slow-loading site may also hinder your search engine rankings. That's why it's extremely important to put these good practices into action when building and maintaining your site to make your site as quick as possible (you might be interested in tracking your page load speed).
One of the largest bandwidth components of sites these days is images. And too often, people upload the largest possible image they can and just display the size they need to, not thinking about why it might be a good idea to make the image fit the use. On top of that, you can also work with images that have been saved at very high qualities, when really, medium quality photos tend to do the job for the web. That could save you a lot of bandwidth and a lot of seconds off your load time.
Let me introduce smush.it. Smush.it is a free service that is provided by Yahoo!. Like Google, Yahoo! have a vested interest in making the internet faster; the faster the internet is, the more pageviews that are logged, the more ads that are served and the more advertising revenue that they see.
Smush.it uses a variety of technologies (such as ImageMagick, pngcrush and jpegtran) to squish every last unnecessary byte out of your images. These technologies are completely lossless, meaning that you lose no image quality at all; the picture will look the same when you download it as when you uploaded it.
How to use it in WordPress
If you just want to use smush.it on a single picture, you can always head over to the website, upload a picture and download the resultant image. Job done.
However, the chances are that you'll want to use it on every single image you've ever uploaded and every one that you upload in future. And that's where the WP Smush.it plugin comes in.
Once you install this plugin, you can go to your Media Library and smush every image that you've uploaded to date. Unfortunately, there is no batch tool to smush all the images in one go; you'll have to go through one by one and do it. It's just a one-time exercise though and it's worth the small amount of time it'll take.
So long as you leave the plugin installed and activated, every time you upload a picture, it will automatically send it to smush.it and bring back the optimised image. It does this when the image says it is "Crunching…", so don't cancel the operation if it appears to hang, because there is no notice that WordPress is actually optimising your image through smush.it.
Now your site should be loading just a little bit quicker, and you can even check by measuring your site load speed.
Have you seen a noticeable change in your loading speed? Does your data in Google Analytics show a noticeable difference?

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan paid a visit to East Tennessee Wednesday.
Duncan visited Knox County Schools to take a look at how educational reforms have worked in the county and to discuss new goals for American schools, including President Obama's State of the Union proposal to train more high schoolers for high-tech jobs.
On Wednesday morning, Duncan made classroom visits and took part in a roundtable discussion at West High School that also included Gov. Bill Haslam and Knox County Schools Superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre.
"To see the progress, and the courage, and the leadership that the governor, and the state chief, and the principals, teachers have show in the past few years is remarkable," Duncan said.
Duncan said Tennessee is one of the states leading the country right now in terms of improvement and driving change.
One of those improvements Duncan learned about was West High School's International Baccalaureate program, graduating its first class in May.
Senior Lauren Winder transferred from a private school just to take part in the program.
"It's not just like an advanced placement program where you learn a lot of hard material and take a test. They focus on building well-rounded students, in general," said Winder.
Several participants weighed in on how to prepare students better for the workforce.
Gov. Haslam said the focus was shifting from not just graduating students, but ensuring they have a future after graduation.
"Education issues are really at the front of what we're doing. We want to have that kind of communication, and we want show him (Duncan) the results of what's happening in Tennessee," said Gov. Haslam.
One contributor said that it was important for students to have more than just a diploma, but also skills they can use on the job, in order to be competitive in the current market.
Teacher evaluations were another topic of conversation, with some educators talking about the apprehension teachers faced because of the standards they are held against.
Dr. McIntyre said one way the district was working to improve the evaluation process was by appointing a fellow teacher, called a "lead teacher," to take part in the assessments to make the process more constructive.
Duncan also praised the state's revamped teacher evaluation
system, which now evaluates teachers once a year. Under the old system,
teachers were evaluated twice a decade.
School board members were invited to ask questions and one board member asked Duncan about his stance on charter schools.
Duncan said that many students don't have any options for a quality education and that his focusing was on changing that, regardless of the type of school.
"I just want good schools," he said.
Duncan said that there are good and bad charter schools, just as there are good and bad traditional schools.
Duncan also said he hopes to work with Congress to repeal the No Child Left Behind Act.
Tennessee was granted a waiver in 2012, and will have to improve overall achievement by three to five percent each year and cut achievement gaps in half over an eight-year period.
Duncan says the latest Race to the Top annual report is encouraging for Tennessee.
'I think again what Tennessee did is not lower the bar, but raise the bar, and challenge themselves on that process," Duncan said.
Sec. Duncan and Gov. Haslam differ on school vouchers. Haslam has proposed a limited voucher program, applying to the lowest income children in the lowest performing schools.
"We feel very strongly that our bill is the strongest approach," Haslam said.
However Duncan disagrees. He even tweeted after the meeting, "Vouchers aren't the solution."
"Our goal is should to make every single public school a good school, and put our resources there," Duncan said.
Later in the day, Duncan spoke at the Howard Baker Center on University of Tennessee's campus about expanding early learning programs.
He also visited Ritta Elementary School and take part in a closed-door discussion on education reform.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Not really a crux to this route unless you climb in the middle of an afternoon in summer. First pitch is WAY mellow but the second pitch while mellow is still a lot of fun. I recommend only doing these two pitches and save the top out for "Big Time" route but they easily can link up!
About 100 yards to the left of Big Time and just right of the obvious Red Rib feature. Follow the line of bolts up low angle climbing!
Bolts and lots of them with fixed anchors in uncomfortable spots! One double rope rappel will barely make it to the ground.

The Bank of Baroda (BOB) stock is a good 'buy' for investors with a three-year holding period. While bad loans have been a problem for most public sector banks, BOB has low net non-performing assets.
At the current price of Rs 635, the price-to-earnings multiple works out to 4.54 times the estimated FY14 earnings.
The stock is also trading well below its estimated FY14 adjusted book value, discounting it by just 0.76 times. The current valuations assume that over half of the restructured assets may be written off and also factor in a very pessimistic scenario on the bank's prospects — a zero growth in earnings and a fall in return on equity. This scenario is not likely to pan out. Even as BOB's margins may moderate, profit growth may receive a boost from higher-than-industry loan growth and low costs. Recoveries and upgrades of non-performing assets (NPAs), especially from large accounts, will also support earnings.
A unique aspect of BOB's business is its growing international loan book (close to 30 per cent) which is mainly trade credit and lending to Indian businesses. This has also helped loan growth.
Thanks to more than Rs 4,000-crore capital infusion over the last two fiscals, BOB has one of the highest core-capital ratios in the banking system. Adequate reserves and internal accruals can support loan book growth for the next three-four years without the bank needing to raise further equity.
The bank's gross non-performing assets have risen sharply. But with BOB maintaining a high level of provisions against bad loans, future profits are, to an extent, shielded. Given that 60 per cent of the bank's loans are classified as sub-standard (and entail provisions of 15-25 per cent), the provision coverage, at 80 per cent, is high.
As of June 2012, 87 per cent of the bank's loan book was secured, up from 80 per cent a year ago. The net NPA ratio of Bank of Baroda is 0.65 per cent, compared with 1.76 per cent for all other public sector banks.
The standard restructured assets account for 6.3 per cent of the book, with no significant loan restructuring expected.
This puts BOB in a better position to make provisions for restructured assets without impacting its profitability.
For the quarter ended June 2012, BOB delivered moderate profit growth of 10.3 per cent due to falling margins and rise in provisions.
The net margins have come under pressure lately, given the rising contribution of international loans and a spike in domestic cost of funds.
The recent cut in the base rate and hike in deposit rates are also expected to impact margins. The management expects to close this fiscal with margins of 2.7-2.75 per cent.

TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - Lucas Metropolitan Housing Authority (LMHA) and the City of Toledo are holding a news conference Wednesday to announce a new central Toledo housing community.
The Brand Whitlock and Albertus Brown Housing developments on Division Avenue will be torn down and replaced.
The $46 million Collingwood Green development will be constructed using a combination of funding. It's being paid for with HUD funds, LIHTC equity, HDAP, local HOME, AHP, conventional debt and a deferred developer fee. Approximately $13 million of local and state funds will be spent on the project.
Also included in the plans are additional greenspace, a community center and several small businesses.
The LHMA says the revitalized development on the western edge of the Toledo Central Business District will be a catalyst for future development in Toledo.

Most agree that the French are the world's biggest food fanatics: with their white truffles, vintage champagne, lexicon of sauces, fondness for offal meats and coveted star rating system for restaurants --which sometimes involves bribes, death threats and hostages (and that's just figuring out who the judges will be).
Recently though, the British have been catching up with the food mania which has meant a big leap forward. Prior to top toques like Gordon Ramsey, Britain's national dish consisted of unseasoned limp fish, fried in barely hot oil and served in greasy newspapers.
In addition to beer, the Brits are really fond of two things: peas and cheese. Cheddar cheese, to be precise. Some of the toniest events on the British social calendar include award ceremonies pinning metals on cheese (delicately). Aged cheddar cheese is a beloved commodity. This year 904 cheeses from 181 makers were entered into the British Cheese Awards, almost twice the amount that were entered in 1998 when I was living and working in London, That year, I remember the news that was splashed across the front page of every newspaper announcing that right before the annual British Cheese Awards, a thief ran off with the cheese: 5 tons of aged cheddar.
It seems that in the dark of night, a huge rig backed up to a cheese barn in North Cadbury and quietly loaded up hundred of cheesecloth covered wheels of the one cheese that everyone had laid odds was a shoo-in for the gold metal. This heist happened 150 miles west of London --an idyllic, verdant setting of mooing heifers, killer dart games, and the famous ploughman's lunch --now sans cheese. This crime was not some shot in the dark --it seems the culprits knew exactly which cheese they were nabbing. They didn't settle for some inferior curd, but picked their way through tons of lesser cheddars in storage to grab the gold medal stuff. The loss is valued at 50,000 pounds (quid) and heartbroken at the thought of the cheddar-less winter that stretches out before him, Jamie Montgomery, the owner of the farm had offered a 3,000 (quid) reward.
The usual suspects being rounded up are those trafficking in stolen goods (or anyone with a huge refrigerator). Juliet Harbutt, the founder of the award's board said, "This is espionage in the highest order." The cheese maker's mother is leaving no cheese wheel unturned and has spent two days on the telephone warning local pubs and restaurants not to buy cheddar from any dubious characters (or anyone procuring cheddar from under their trench coat). She's asking that folks call authorities to report any suspicious cheese.
When a London newspaper went out to the farm to photographer the crime scene and collect information about the reward, the sullen-faced owners posed beside the only remaining cheese wheel that lay safe in their cupboard. But, just as the camera shutter closed, in this case, no one had the heart to say, "cheese."

Over at It's About the Money Stupid, someone named Hippeaux leads this piece with the story of Tony Batista, who collected 110 RBI in 2004, while also posting a .272 on-base percentage. Batista is portrayed as the poster child for the meaninglessness of RBI; apparently we all learned a lesson from this ... but maybe not the right lesson?
Give me OBP, give me OPS, give me IPO, give me WPA, give me K/BB; just don't give me RBI! If you're going to give me RBI, Mr. McCarver, I'd rather you gave me nothing.
And then came WAR.
The concept was ratified by the sabremetric Godfather, Bill James, who'd created Win Shares according to a similar ideology in 2002. It was a neoclassical economist's wet dream, like baseball GDP: an elegant equation which accounted for all the sport's diverse variables and yielded a single number roughly reducible to the oldest and most hallowed statistic of them all, the win. Hallelujah.
Wins Above Replacement is a beautiful idea. Euclidean grace in a quantum world. A simple answer, not only for age-old baseball conundrums like "Mantle or DiMaggio?", but also a formula for unprecedented comparisons like "Rickey Henderson v. Johnny Bench" and "Roy Halladay v. Alex Rodriguez".
There's only one problem. It doesn't work.
It doesn't work? It doesn't work at all?
Oh, but that's not what Hippeaux is arguing. Because of course you can't argue that. See, he begins the piece with an indictment of RBI. Then launches into an indictment of Wins Above Replacement. But which works better? Who's going to win more baseball games? A lineup composed of the top nine RBI guys in the majors, or the top nine WAR guys? I'll take the WAR guys, and I think Hippeaux would, too.
No, what he means is that it doesn't work as well as we think it does.
At least, not yet. Not in the fantastically straight-forward way we try to use it. The idea is so good, so clarifying – like democracy or the rational market – that we really, really want it to work, we're willing to suspend our disbelief just a little while longer in the hope that it might. Because it'd be so great to know with statistical certainty that Albert Pujols was worth $200 Million, that we really couldn't win that pennant without Andy Pettitte, that Jacoby Ellsbury is definitely the AL MVP, and that Ben Zobrist is exactly 9.3% better than Adrian Gonzalez. Darn that dream.
The cruel irony, the I-could've-had-Sean-Doolittle-and-all-I-got-was-stupid-Barry-Zito irony, is that the problem with WAR is the same as the problem with RBI. It frequently measures context as much as performance. Especially when used to evaluate single seasons, it doesn't sufficiently account for the inevitable variations in opportunity and environment.
Of course WAR is sometimes (or frequently) context-driven. Of course it doesn't always "sufficiently account for the inevitable variations in opportunity and environment."
When Hippeaux says WAR doesn't work "in the fantastically straight-forward way we try to use it," what he really means is that it doesn't work in the way you -- that is, you dunder-headed fools who aren't as smart as Hippeaux -- try to use it.
Can you say "straw man"?
Who's trying to use WAR that way, exactly? Who is arguing that Ben Zobrist is EXACTLY 9.3 percent better than Adrian Gonzalez? None of my friends are doing that. Are yours?
As Hippeaux correctly notes, "WAR's move to the mainstream is deeply tied to the rising popularity of FanGraphs."
When you go to the individual "leaders" pages on FanGraphs, the default ranking is according to Wins Above Replacement. A lot of people -- including a lot of baseball writers -- use those pages, and are informed by them. But very few baseball writers are going to just copy those rankings onto their MVP ballots. Dave Cameron is as responsible as anyone for what happens on FanGraphs ... But is Dave Cameron going around arguing that Ben Zobrist is EXACTLY 9.3 percent better Adrian Gonzalez? I really really really doubt it.
In fact, Hippeaux does acknowledge Cameron's perspective:
Even WAR's adherents, like Dave Cameron, generally admit the margin of error is at least 15%. When we stubbornly suggest that 0.5 WAR means anything, we are grossly exaggerating the statistic's accuracy, even according to its creators. It remains true that any reasoned discussion of an individual's contributions still requires analysis of the various components that go into WAR, as well as several that don't, and, as such, subjectivity reigns.
There he goes again with the we.
You know what makes me want to poke someone in the eye with a sharp stick? When someone writes we when he means you ... and isn't honest enough or brave enough to identify you. Are there particular writers or broadcasters who have been abusing WAR this season? Is someone out there actually suggesting that Carlos Lee is just as valuable on defense as Troy Tulowitzki?
Because if nobody is doing those things, then Hippeaux is wasting his considerable talents against a straw man. If somebody is doing those things, then Hippeaux should tell us who. Otherwise we can only assume that he's engaging in mere sophistry.
Hippeaux does make some good points, which I have not excerpted because I can't excerpt everything. Single-season UZR's can be terribly misleading, which everyone's known for a long time. FanGraphs does a poor job with catchers' defense, which was excusable for a long time, but maybe isn't anymore, considering the PITCHf/x work that's been done recently. But considering only hitting statistics and positional scarcity, WAR is a great starting point for any discussion of a player's value. And the defensive stuff is generally reliable, too. As long as you don't go nuts and assume that one season of data tells you everything.
My advice to would-be iconoclasts like Hippeaux? Be specific in your criticisms, with examples of actual people who are making the actual mistakes you say we are making.
This might have been a compelling article if Hippeaux had restricted his critique to Ultimate Zone Ratings and the analysis of catchers' defensive value. But with the unsupported critique of what we are supposedly doing, what might have been compelling becomes merely useful. Assuming you can see past the intellectual bankruptcy.
See? THAT is being specific.

'Succeed in a changing world – Where will we find growth?'
Fast-growing economies are primary targets for those seeking new investment potential. The rise of the G20 (group of 20 major economies) as the premier forum for discussing global economic issues serves as a reminder that the shift of power to emerging markets is a bigger story than imaginable. In pursuit of sustainable growth, economies look at ways to reduce dependence on foreign investment and demand, often developing technology-led sectors and high-value capabilities causing unprecedented shifts in the world's business landscape.
Since many investors would like to gain exposure to emerging markets and beyond, Julius Baer hosted the third in a series of Next Generation Investment Conferences in Zurich. The aim of this conference, 'Succeed in a changing world – where will we find growth?', was to bring to the surface investment potential resulting from changing business models and improbable world events.
Investment Conference - Growth
The Investment Conference took place on 29.08.2011.

Ruins your whole PETA argument. BTW, if you read past their first webpage PETA stands for and works toward some pretty eye-opening goals:
The end of pet ownership in one generation. They think animals have rights, so they shouldn't be "slaves." This kind of thinking moves us back to the Dark Ages, when they can prosecute us for putting out rat poison or hitting a raccoon on the highway. If they have rights, then PETA can sue in a class action situation when we spray for West Nile, or even swat a fly.
A fly is a rat is a dog is a boy.
That is part of their mantra. Every PETA member I have ever met will eventually make that statement.
Yes, Jesus ate fish. If he was truly God among us, wouldn't he know what he should and shouldn't eat?
Just more idiots trying to tell everyone else what to eat, what to drive, what to wear and what to say.

Chapter 2: Midnight Discussions
[View Online]
A/N Sorry about the long wait. I am always busy with school and extra-curricular activities. Lately, I have been having these really bad migraines and havent been able to even look at my computer screen. So again, I am sorry for the late update to the story. Also, if anyone who reads this story could please review, I would appreciate it. I would also appreciate suggestions for this story or even another one eventually. Thank you.
Also, I do not own anything but the plot in this or the previous chapter. Later on, there could be some made up characters thrown into the mix.
~Draco Malfoy~
Walking back to the dungeons, I was thinking to myself about how my life had just completely changed within a couple of hours. I had just saved Hermione Jean Granger from a terrible and humiliating public break-up from the Weasel.
I have no idea why I even saved her, but it made me feel important and allowed me to see why everyone is so dependent upon Potter.
Speaking of Potter, he sent me an owl and asked to speak with me in the trophy room at midnight. It was only 9:45, so I still had plenty of time to think about my actions, and why I really did that. I know he is probably going to yell at me or maybe even hit me, but I just dont want to tell him that I have liked Hermione since first year; at least not until she knows.
She is so different from all of the other girls I know; and believe me, with my reputation that is a big number of girls. I knew she was intelligent but so am I. There has always been a difference of almost nothing between or work. Severus knows that I like her, but he is too kind to tell my father about her. Mother knows of course, but she wouldnt tell Father either because she knows it would kill me.
I should probably head up to the trophy room now. I look around the corner, just to make sure I wont be followed. I pull out my invisibility cloak, which father bought me after hearing the rumor that Potter has one. I run to the trophy room and look at my watch, 11:59. Phew! One minute to spare!
I see you got my owl then, Malfoy.
Yes, Potter, I did. I was curious though, why it was just you who wanted to meet me, and not the Weasel too?
I figured he had had enough of you today. He was humiliated by you with the public punch, and then humiliated when Lavender found out that he had been using her to cheat on Hermione.
I thought she knew, but I am sure you didnt drag me up here just to discuss his love life, or nonexistent now.
No, you are right. I brought you up here, because I wanted to thank you for taking care of Hermione in the Astronomy tower today. She told me about how you comforted her, but I am curious as to what you said to make her feel better. She wouldnt share that with me, saying that it was between the two of you, and she would only diverge the details if you agreed to it.
I really wouldnt feel comfortable with doing that at this time, Potter.
Alright Malfoy, I wanted to extend my friendship towards you. I know it sounds weird, but if you ever need anything, and I mean anything, I would be glad to help you. This isnt just one of those empty gestures either; I really mean it since you saved my best friend from the humiliation of my other best friends arrogant behaviors.
Thank you, Potter. I know it probably sounds weird coming from me, but I actually might have to take you up on that offer sooner than you think.
Whys that?
Well, I havent told Hermione yet, but I am supposed to become a death eater this summer, so my mother has ordered that I be taken to a safe house for the summer and for all of my friends to have no contact with me until the start of next term, to prevent location of me or danger to them. I am the secret keeper, so I am going to give you this information under the privilege that you will keep it a secret also. I am to be housed three blocks from you aunt and uncles house. My protection will consist of many aurors, and Severus Snape. I am allowed to give this information to two people whom I trust completely and you are one that I have chosen. Hermione is to be the other. I have chosen you two, because I know that you are the one who has to defeat Voldemort, and Hermione has her reasons also, not to be shared at this time.
Malfoy Does this mean that you trust me with the secret to your survival? I know we have a rough past, but I would be honored to help you.
Thank you. I am aware that Hermione is to be going on vacation with her parents, but they have been told about the situation of their daughter being involved with a ministry protection program, and have had their memories altered to know nothing of having a daughter. She will be staying with me at the safe house. Since Dumbledore has warned the ministry that the house of your relatives is the best place for you to be, you will be staying there, but are welcome to come over to my safe house anytime you wish.
Please pass this letter on to Hermione. It is a letter from the minister explaining everything. It also has a letter from her parents. Her things have all been moved to the safe house, as have mine. Anything of yours that you wish to have moved over to the safe house also, you may make a list and send it to the minister within the week.
I will. Thank you Draco for trusting me with such an important job; I am sure Hermione will be please to assist as well.
A/N: There is this little box at the bottom of this page, and it acts like a patronus. It sends me your messages, so please leave some.
