We got connected to Rich from our conversation with Brad Stulberg a few months earlier (who taught us that Stress + Rest = Growth) and Brad was nice enough to come back on the podcast and brought Rich into the conversation. This was a wide-ranging conversation that touched on health, wellness, fitness, morning routines -- and even why Rich sleeps in a tent on his roof. Hope you enjoy this conversation as we welcome Rich to the Seeking Wisdom community. @richroll @bstulberg @dcancel @davegerhardt
Dave: Awesome. So the only bummer is DC couldn't be here with me. He's always on this podcast, but don't worry. Brad, he sent me about a hundred questions on WhatsApp right before this and he was like," Don't fuck this up. Please don't fuck this up." So that's where we're at. For the listeners out there, we have two amazing guests today, Brad Stulberg. He is @ bradstulberg on Twitter. What's up, Brad?
Brad: Hey, glad to be on the show.
Dave: And Rich Roll, who is @ richroll on Twitter. Rich, thank you for coming on and appreciate it.
Rich: Yeah, thanks for having me. Stoked to be here.
Dave: Yeah, so I know you guys have crazy schedules, but this whole thing started with... We went out to Oakland and we spent some time with Brad and he dropped this formula on us, which is stress plus rest equals growth. And that went on to be one of the most popular episodes that we did and really hit on something with this audience and talking a lot about personal and professional growth. So we decided to run it back, and lucky enough to get Rich on here with us. So I usually don't like to... I don't always start at the beginning, but I think having you guys both on here makes a lot of sense. So maybe just do a quick intro... How you guys got into this world cause you both have different backgrounds. Rich was a lawyer. Brad you were a consultant and now your lives are spent really talking about health, personal growth, professional growth, those types of topics. I just love to start there and kind of unpack that a little bit.
Rich: Okay, cool. Brad, you want to go first?
Brad: Sure. I can go first. So yeah, like Dave said, I came right out of school and went to work at McKinsey& Company, which is a fairly well known international consulting firm, and to make a long story short, I love the work. I just couldn't detach from it, and I completely burnt out. After two years there, I was having emotional, physical, just spiritual... I was a mess. So I was fortunate enough to be able to pivot, went to graduate school to study public health because I wanted to be interested... Or excuse me, I was interested in whether people can really achieve that kind of performance, but do it in a more sustainable way, and since then, that has really become my passion, is exploring this topic, working with others on this topic, writing about this topic. And then they say, you write for yourself first. So I'm a major work in progress. I still have a very obsessive personality. I have some anxiety and I try to channel it wisely. But so much of my research and writing is for myself as much as anyone. I'm trying to figure this stuff out too.
Rich: Cool. So I guess mine's next?
Dave: I love it and Rich... Yeah. Yeah.
Rich: Oh, go ahead.
Dave: No, go.
Rich: Okay. So I came at this whole thing a little bit differently. I mean, yes, I was a corporate lawyer. I've been an athlete in college. I was a swimmer at Stanford. My athletic potential was a little bit truncated by a protracted struggle with drugs and alcohol. That's a big part of my story. Ultimately, I ended up getting sober at 31 and spent the better part of the following decade trying to repair the wreckage of my past and become this responsible member of society on the path to achieving the American dream, which is kind of what my whole life was premised on. Only to find myself at 39, 50 pounds overweight, stressed out, basically your classic couch potato entering middle age on a crash course with lifestyle disease and really kind of depressed and unenthusiastic about this life that I thought that I wanted only to realize that it wasn't delivering on the promise of fulfillment and happiness and all the things that we kind of bake into it, or the expectations that we create around it. I had a little bit of an existential crisis that collided with a health scare shortly before my 40th birthday, that kind of catalyzed this journey into exploring health and wellness and fitness into my forties. Ultimately, I ended up adopting a plant- based diet and tackling some crazy ultra endurance races and then writing books about them and starting podcasts. Now I've sort of found myself in this position of wellness pontificator at large, I suppose, and it's not by-
Dave: I love that.
Rich: ...brand design or master plan. It's kind of just... I don't even know how I ended up here, but I'm very grateful to be getting to do what I get to do and not having to be a lawyer anymore.
Brad: And real quick, Dave-
Dave: Why do you guys... Yeah yeah, go.
Brad: Dave let me just chime in for the intro. I think it's also worth noting that in this relationship, Rich is the older wise sage and I'm the young, just trying to be protege. So one of the coolest parts about being a writer is you get to meet people like Rich, and I've looked up to Rich long before I wrote a word. So to kind of have this shared space and friendship and to learn from him and then to get to do stuff like this together is really pretty neat. All right. That sums up our little intro. Kumbaya.
Rich: Kumbaya.
Dave: Oh, I love that. How did you guys get connected? Did you happen to be in the same world? What's the backstory? Why is he a mentor for you, Brad? How'd you guys get connected?
Brad: So I read Rich's book Finding Ultra right when it came out, and that was a time in my life when I was getting into endurance sports, and it was also right kind of fresh off the burnout experience at McKinsey. Like I said, I have an addictive personality. I haven't struggled with a substance addiction, but I have struggled with obsessive thought patterns and things that could be called addictions, just not to substances. So the book really just hit a chord with me and I started to follow Rich. I started to read his blog, the podcast, and just someone that I really looked up to and fast forward a few years when I started writing about this stuff, one of my first features for outside magazine was on passion and looking at passion, not just as this wonderful gift, but also as a potential curse if you don't know how to control it. So I just emailed Rich and I thought he'd be a great interview for it, and I introduced myself and we did the interview and then we kind of got to talking after and hit it off and we've been in touch since then.
Rich: Yeah. I mean, I would say from my perspective I fondly recall that initial phone conversation that I had with you, Brad, and what I remember about that mostly is that, as somebody who's done a lot of phone interviews with journalists, what I'm used to is,'Oh, here's the five questions and let me get through the questions' and they're just writing it down and then they're like,'Okay thank you, goodbye' and that's it. What was different about you is A, you actually seemed interested in the response, which you would presume any journalist should be if they're writing an article about something, but is usually not the case, and you had a very kind of intellectual and nuanced take on a challenging subject matter. We ended up talking for a long time and I was like,'Oh, this guy's cool, he's actually putting a lot of thought into these issues, so that he can write something of value' as opposed to,'I just got to get my 1500 words and so I can bank the next check'.
Dave: I love it. The one thing that I think is interesting is, and maybe this isn't the case, but at least it feels it. Why do you guys think that... Why is this whole genre of fitness and health and mindfulness... Do you feel this is something that is bubbling up over the last couple of years and why do you think that has become the case, where this wasn't something that everyone was writing about, blogging about, podcasting about five, six, 10 years ago? I think it feels like this is a key topic now. I mean, it's why our podcast exists. It's, you know, Rich, the mantra of everything that you do. Brad, with your last book, it seems to be that this is... Something happened in the last couple of years where this is now a topic that everyone is concerned about.
Rich: That's a great question. Certainly, undoubtedly wellness is having a moment. I would contend that it started perhaps a couple of years prior to that, but definitely subject matters related to wellness, fitness, wellbeing, mindfulness, meditation, even minimalism, all of these kind of lifestyle ideas are very much part of the zeitgeists discussion at the moment. And as for why that is, I think it's a function of a number of things. I think it's a function of millennials coming of age, who were raised on the internet and have a different perspective on seeking purpose and meaning through their careers, where there's a priority and a premium placed on enjoying what you do, on giving back, on taking care of oneself, that perhaps was less important amongst my generation being a Gen X-er. And then with the Gen X- ers coming into their forties and their fifties and trying to figure out how to extend their life and be fulfilled and engaged in their careers in a way that perhaps their parents weren't, I think begs the question of wellness and how to take care of oneself, as opposed to just settling into the La- Z- Boy chair for 20 years of reruns. And I think on top of that the internet, with its access to every bit of knowledge that we would ever want or need, has fueled I think an undercurrent of interest in how we can better take care of ourselves.
Dave: Same thing with you Brad. What do you think?
Rich: Yeah, that's a great answer. I don't have much to add. I think Rich hit the nail on the head. You know the only other thing that I would say maybe is, well, it definitely seems like wellness is having a moment. I think that there is still a lot of noise in order to find the signal. I know it's something that we briefly discussed the last time I was on the show, but people... Something for nothing never gets old, and I think that for every one good podcast or really good book with insights that will work, there are 10 to 50 to 100 hack your way to growth, wear this magnetic bracelet, wear this thing on your head and your brain will improve. Cause the truth is a lot of people want wellness, but it's really not about a quick fix. It's about a lifestyle and it's tough, especially if you're not coming from a place of wellness.
Dave: Yeah. I love that. I was going to go there later, but I think that's actually a good segue. I wanted to ask you both like, okay there's so much shit out there. There's so much noise. I don't know if it's right or wrong. How do you guys... And this is kind of a selfish question, because it's something that I struggle with. How do you prioritize who to listen to, who to take advice from? Who are your mentors? And kind of like... Seeking wisdom is something we talk a lot about learning is basically why this podcast exists. I'm just interested in how, maybe starting with you Rich... How do you unpack who you're going to take advice from? What sources you listen to? How do you read... What podcasts you're listening to and just advice that you're taking from people.
Rich: Yeah, that's a great question. I would say that as I kind of mature through this, I have begun listening to fewer and fewer people and have put myself on more and more of an information diet, at least with respect to wellness and fitness. I have a few trusted sources that worked very well for me and I rely on them and lean on them, and those are people I have personal relationships with. In terms of the content that I consume, I would say that, kind of echoing what Brad said, there is so much noise out there, and I think you have to really finally attune your antenna and your radar to see the sort of showboating and carnival barker, snake oil salesman coming down the pipe from a million miles away, and I think if you're paying attention is pretty easy to spot. You can see the signs and the marketing lingo and all the kind of trappings that surround this stuff and the way that the content is delivered, and I just tune all that stuff out. I don't pay attention to any of that stuff. I know what works for me. I have doctors that I've met through... A lot of the people that I trust and rely on are people that I've had as guests on my podcast. A variety of doctors and nutritionists that I trust, and I think walk with quite a bit of integrity. I have a coach for my fitness and athletic endeavors, and I trust him implicitly, and that's a relationship that dates back close to basically a decade at this point. I think kind of a marching order though, that perhaps could be a takeaway for your listeners is despite the fact that it's good to be kind of experimenting on yourself and finding what works for you, it's not about trends and hacks and looking for the latest and the greatest. It's about acclimating your life to the fundamentals, and if you want to play around with a few hacks and things like that, you have to consider them like cherries on top of the sundae. But fundamentally the principles of living a healthy, fit life are pretty basic and they don't go out of style.
Dave: I love that. One thing we talk about is just from a... We think a lot about marketing and from that perspective is, focus on the things that don't change, right? And so there's things that have been around for granted like, in some of the health and wellness stuff, that stuff has progressed over time, but just from a studying people perspective, we think about people haven't changed over hundreds of years. So we try to focus on... There's that core of advice. It's why like, going back and reading a business book from the 1930s and 1940s might have advice that's just as relevant today because there's a core piece there of stuff that just hasn't changed over the course of time.
Rich: Yeah. I think that that's correct, and that's not to cast dispersions on some of the new kind of developments that are occurring because it's all good. But I think if you're looking... For example, if you think the solution to what ails you is to get your microbiome tested and then learn all about what's wrong with your microbiome, that's helpful. That's great. But also on some level it's kind of a distraction. It's like,'Oh, here's a thing that I can buy. And here's the thing that I can do. And I can immerse myself in this little journey with this thing'. Meanwhile, I'm eating at McDonald's and I'm staying up till two in the morning, watching Dancing with the Stars reruns or whatever. I think you have to fundamentally have your priorities in check about the basic aspects of what it is to live well, which is basically to eat right. Move your body, get good sleep, stay hydrated, things that haven't changed in hundreds of years.
Brad: Yeah, I know this might not go over really well with parts of your audience because in Silicon Valley especially, I think that there's this inclination to try to science our way into immortality, or at least to extend life, and I just laugh every single time I hear about some new supplement on the market that is going to boost your mitochondria, and the individuals that are taking the supplement don't exercise, when we know that exercise boosts your mitochondria better than any supplement. You know, there's a very, very popular study from the sixties, the Barlow health study, and what he found is it's really five basic behaviors can add up to 10 to 20 years of your life and it's don't smoke, and if you do smoke, get help quitting. Like Rich said, move, keep your BMI under 30, which means don't become obese. That goes with moving. Don't over- drink. So for men, it's two drinks a day. For women, it's one drink a day. And then stay connected and have a sense of belonging. And it's interesting because if I do an inventory of my own life, I don't always shoot five for five, right? I work from home. Sometimes I feel lonely. So these things sound really easy, but they can be pretty hard to do.
Rich: I would echo that.
Dave: Love it. It's always simple, but it's simple, not easy, right? The advice is simple. Most people know it, it's right there, but most people are just... They want the hack. So that's why there is a new article out about some pill you could take or some diet you could go on. That's where that comes from for sure.
Brad: These things could work. I don't think that Rich and I are anti- science, and I think that we should continue to explore these things. Like shit, maybe the microbiome will unlock five years of vitality and health. But I just think that the drum that still needs to be beat are around nailing the basics because enough people don't nail the basics. Like I said, that sense of belonging, especially, I think that social media and productivity, getting back to your first question about why is wellness having a moment? I think another reason is a lot of people are suffering with mental health issues that come from a degradation of community, and that's kind of the gift and the curse of being so easily connected, right? Because now we can talk online or email instead of what was once an in- person interaction. I mean, I haven't tested this and I haven't seen science, but I wonder if that's not at play too.
Dave: All right. So I want to transition to a little lighter topic, which is... You guys are... You might not know this, or maybe you know this, but you're both very sneaky marketers, and I don't know if you've ever thought of it that way, but I think of Rich, for example... You're everywhere. Brad, you had a book out last year that blew up. New York times articles. You guys are both everywhere, but I don't think either of you... Neither of you set out to like,'I'm going to market the shit out of this thing that I'm doing', or'I'm going to become this brand'. Did you think that way or how did this whole thing happen? Like Rich for you, maybe start there.
Rich: Yeah, I have no marketing background whatsoever. No strategy behind anything that I've done. I will say in all fairness, when Finding Ultra came out in 2012, nobody really knew who I was outside of kind of insular world of triathlon. There were a couple of media pieces about me, but the mainstream, there was no mainstream awareness. So I realized and understood that if I didn't put everything I had into pushing this book out into the world, that it would just come and go and I would be forced to have to go back and continue to practice law, which is something I very much did not want to do.
Dave: There's your forcing function.
Rich: I made it my mission to... Basically a full- time job of trying to get this... Birth this book into the world and like, making spreadsheets of everybody I could contact and would do an interview with anybody who would talk to me and just turned over every rock in order to get it out there. And it's not it was a New York Times bestselling book, it wasn't. It was a slow burn of developing awareness. But I learned a lot about how to kind of launch a product. I made a lot of mistakes and from what I learned it was instructive when the cookbook The Plantpower Way came out several years later, and the podcast really was just an opportunity to continue the conversation that I began with the book. And again, I didn't whiteboard this is what I'm going to do, and this is the next chapter of my thing. It was just turning a microphone on and saying, this is fun, maybe I'll do a couple of these episodes. I had no idea that it would turn into this thing. And in terms of how it's been marketed I just... My marching order is create great content. And I share it on my social media sites, but beyond that I don't do anything else. Just create something great and take care of the people that are already tuning into your wavelength and make sure that they're happy. Spend less time trying to grow what you're doing, and more time really serving the people that are already interested in what you're doing and trust that over time, if you're consistent and you continue to deliver on the promise of great content that the audience will develop. That's kind of what I've been doing. I think perhaps I could be larger or doing more if I understood marketing better, but I feel good about the fact that I'm not out there trying to trick people or create click bait headlines or do lame giveaways to try to entice people to subscribe to something that otherwise they might not be interested in. And just focusing on like, how can I have the most amazing conversation with this person? And then present it in an artistic or aesthetically pleasing way. I spent a lot of time on the visual aspect of the work that I do cause I think that's important. And I think it's a differentiator from... It's something that helps set my podcast and the work that I do kind of apart from some of the other people out there.
Dave: I think one of the key threads about all this stuff is, especially from a... If you look at all the things that are popular, most things are popular tend to have a movement. There's always some element, especially today, people are more skeptical than ever. There's some element of authenticity. And I think that's what plays into your stuff so well, which is like... You're not a marketer trying to peddle books or peddle some advice. It's these long form conversations that feel like I'm in my car driving to Vermont and I feel like I'm hanging out at your place talking to somebody or listening in on the conversation. I think that the best channels today and whether you're writing a book or creating a business or whatever, they all have that element of authenticity. This is a real person talking about real stuff with somebody else behind the scenes. It's not a hack, it's, nobody's trying to game any system to try to get you to go and buy something immediately after.
Rich: Yeah, and I think that's accurate and correct. I think the word authenticity, the word authentic is getting bastardized and it's been so co- opted that it almost feels a nasty word now because it's a word, it's an idea, it's an ethos that brands are trying to manufacturer. And if... You know, something that's truly authentic cannot be manufactured by its very definition. And so authenticity is very important to what I do, but not because I'm trying to... I'm putting energy into trying to create authenticity. I'm trying to actually avoid being distracted by externalities that would drive my content and what I'm doing away from just being what is fundamentally consistent with my personality.
Dave: Brad, you were going to say something? You feel the same way?
Brad: I do. I think that it starts with a good product, and the only thing that I would add to what Rich said is that I don't think of marketing as separate from the core of what I do. It's just all what I do. So when I'm on Twitter, I do my best to compose really high quality tweets. I often use that actually as a testing ground for sentences that will appear in articles and books. So I think that there's a trap of thinking of marketing is separate from the work or the skill to optimize, and there are people that are marketers first. I just think of myself as a writer and someone that's privileged to play in this world of ideas, and every time I offer an idea that is my marketing, but that's also the core of what I'm doing. I mean, in marketing lingo, maybe it's called content marketing, but again I don't ever use the word marketing. I don't really think of anything I do as marketing. It's just having these interesting conversations with people, writing about them and then doing what I can to share those ideas.
Dave: Love it. I love the idea of... It's such a good way to test, just sharing the stuff that you're already sharing. Oh, that... People really interested in that thing that I said, maybe that's an article that I could write. Maybe that's a podcast episode that I could have. All right. So I want to... We're going to wrap up in a little bit, but just a couple of questions about you guys more personally. What are your morning routines and evening routines? I've seen videos, I've seen pictures from you both getting up at ridiculous early hours. I always see Rich the lighting the tea kettle. So I'm just interested in sharing your latest... I know they're always evolving, what your latest morning routine and evening routine right now.
Rich: Great question. Go ahead Brad. You can answer first. Go for it.
Brad: Well, I'm not sleeping on my roof in a tent Rich. So yours... We'll let you close out. I don't know if you're still doing that, we'll find in a second. Anyways, so yeah, my morning routine is as follows: when I wake up, my brain is just already churning it. I pop out of bed and that's when I can do my highest quality work. So I don't try to work against that or put that to sleep. So if anything, I add fuel to the fire. So I make a pot of coffee, write down three things that I'm grateful for in a gratitude journal while the coffee's brewing, and then I put in between an hour and two hours of really deep focus work. So that's when I'll edit copy that I wrote the other day, or perhaps even just write in the morning. So it's the most important work of the day I do in that hour. Again, partially because I'm not going to be distracted, but more so that's just when I can really feel like I'm on my game. Then I'll meditate for 20 minutes. It's almost like coming off of that deep focus work and allowing me to just clear my mind for the rest of the day. I wake up early too. I wake up like 5: 30. So this is at 7: 30 to eight. And then I'll do some sort of physical practice, generally tends to be running, sometimes running and resistance training. And that'll take about 90 minutes and that takes me to 9: 30. So that's my morning. And then evening something that I've just started doing over the last really like month or two months is when my wife comes home from work... I work from home, she doesn't. When she comes home, I put my phone in the other room and it stays there until the morning. And that's really been the only quote unquote routine. Other than that, things just kind of play out as they go. But I really try to disconnect. That tends to be around 7: 00 PM through the next morning.
Dave: My skin is crawling just thinking about that. And it's not good.
Brad: Well no it's interesting. This is actually a topic that I've discussed with David Cancel offline, is... You actually like... I feel some anxiety still. And I have to sit with that urge to check my phone. And often I realize the anxiety is just there because I'm so habitually used to checking it. It's not I'm anxious because I'm waiting for an email or there's something important happening in my life. It's just, I've become so used to scrolling and checking that it feels like if I don't, there's this emptiness, right? I just have to sit with myself and as uncomfortable as that is, I think it's pretty important to be okay with that. I don't know.
Dave: No, I love it. You should have a baby and then you won't have a choice either. I love it. I'll have to... Brad, I'll have to follow up with you separately. You can share with me the secrets of your sessions with him. Cause it's been amazing. So Rich, what about you?
Rich: So it's kind of amazing how similar my morning routine is to Brad's, but I would enter with the caveat that I have four kids, and also my nephew lives with me and every day is different and there's a lot of chaos in my house and there's a lot of people with all different kinds of needs that I need to attend to. So I don't always get to do what I want to do.
Dave: That's an important piece though, right? To be comfortable and like, you have a routine, but you're also willing to accept life and still get your stuff in if it doesn't fit perfectly in that morning.
Rich: Yeah. So as a control freak, I want to control my environment all the time and I don't always get to do that. Now you know, my friend Neil Strauss would say, well, you actually do have a choice. If it's important enough to you, you can make it a priority and do that. But, then it becomes a function for me at least. Like all right, well, I can do that, but then I'm an asshole. So what's more important? I can be a selfish asshole and say, well, I need this time. But then I don't get to go to the event at my daughter's school or things like that, right? So, I have to be a little bit more flexible and open- minded, but I would say that my morning routine begins with a prioritization on sleep. Like, getting seven to eight hours of sleep is absolutely critical for me, and again, it's something that doesn't always happen. Last night, I was at an event, I didn't get to bed until 11: 30, and you know, at my age with every increasing year, I'm 51 right now. It's really hard to... If I'm up late, I still wake up early. You know, I can't... It's not like I can sleep in, even if I want to. So I'll get five or six hours of sleep instead of seven or eight, and I can feel the difference. I don't feel as good. But I tend to wake up... Yeah, I will post... I go through jonts where I'm up at like four or 4: 30. They don't tend to last more than a couple of weeks. I would say in the grand scheme of things, I'm probably getting up between five and six. And sometimes, if I really need to sleep, I allow myself to sleep in until seven or 7: 30. So again, every day is different, but as soon as I wake up it's tea or coffee, not too much but a cup or two, and then right to the page. Right now, I'm hashing out a new book, so it's a lot of freeform writing for probably two hours on average of just getting my thoughts down in long form, in longhand, writing in a journal. When I'm not actively trying to crack a book or something like that, I will do morning pages, like journaling from The Artist's Way. But some form of writing is very important for me to take care of first thing. I am a morning person. That's when the creative ideas flow and I need to leverage that period of time for the work that I do. And that's... Don't look at your phone, don't check whatever, you just go straight to the page. And then when that's done, 20 minutes of meditation usually, although I can be inconsistent with that if... Depending upon what I have to do that day. And then I train and I go out, like today, I had a two and a half hour bike. So I did my writing. I did all that. And then I went out and trained. And as soon as I was finished, it was time to do this podcast. And then I got a bunch of other stuff to do today. So my training sessions are probably a little bit longer than Brad's on average, which makes it tough for me to do all the things that I want to get done every single day, like with managing the podcast and the like. And again, every day is different. So in terms of the evening, I really... If I have my way I'm in bed at nine o'clock and I will end the day with putting my phone away an hour or two before lights out, then I'll have some magnesium tea before I go to bed, which helps me kind of calm down and settle myself. I don't really have any trouble falling asleep. So it's pretty basic. There's nothing super exotic about that, except for the fact that I do sleep in a tent, and sleep in a tent on the roof of my house. I've been doing this for a little over a year at this point, and it's a longer discussion as to the why's, but I really do struggle with sleeping soundly. And I found that when we would... We have a flat roof at our house and in the summer months, we'd sleep outside with my kids. And I would just wake up feeling amazing. I would just sleep so much better in the cool dry air than I do indoors with air conditioning or heat. And so that was kind of the original impetus because my wife likes the room warm and I like it cold and it was creating tension in our relationship. So either she wouldn't sleep great or I wouldn't sleep great, and I was like, fuck it. I'm getting a tent. And I started sleeping in a tent. She's like, all right, knock yourself out. And I just, the quality of my sleep was 10x immediately. And I've just never looked back from that. And I don't sleep in it every night, but I would say nine out of 10 nights I sleep in the tent. And it really has enhanced the quality of my sleep. I like sleeping in the cold air, and I think on top of that, it's kind of a cool stoic practice. It reminds me that I don't need that much. If everything went to shit and went away and all I have is a sleeping bag and a tent, I would be okay because I have a lot right now and I have a great life and I'm choosing to sleep in a tent. So it's kind of an interesting experiment in non- attachment that I've been enjoying.
Dave: I love it. Well, as you said I think it's good, cause you said you don't have anything exotic other than sleeping in a tent. So I love it. That's a perfect way to end.

Jayapura, Jubi – The circumcision program initiated by the National AIDS Commission of Papua Province (KPA Papua) drew serious attention from the Ministry of Health.
KPA Papua has been invited to Jakarta in order to discuss with experts and professors regarding the progrom. The secretary of KPA Papua, Constant Karma said on Friday (30/1), he was invited by the Ministry of Health through the Director of P2PL.
"They would like to hear more about the program of circumcision that related to HIV. Perhaps they want to hear more about about our work in implementing the program right now," Karma said on Thursday (29/1) after the official opening of the Workshop Evaluation and Review of Communication Strategy Implementation Measures Prevention of HIV / AIDS in the central highlands of Papua, which took place at the Gover nor's office in Jayapura.
The ministry supported the circumcision program as an effective measure in preventing HIV / AIDS in Papua.
The aim of this program is only for health reasons, yet there are some different views from different parties like from the churches who refuse it.
"But we emphasize this program for reproductive health in order to maintain and preserve lives. We hope that circumcision can prevent sexually transmitted diseases related to reproductive health." Karma added.
The chairman of the GKI Synod in Papua, Rev. AlberthYoku in his speech of the 56-year anniversary celebration on October 26, 2012 said the church should not think like NGOs to campaign issue about condoms and circumcision but the church must campaign to increase the faith of the congregation.

Sentani, Jubi – Jayapura Health Office claims HIV/AIDS cases in Jayapura Regency has declined with only 3,202 cases occurred until last year.
"HIV/AIDS prevention is a complex issue. It would not only the responsibility of the health office, but all parties should contribute in educating the community," said Pungut Sunarto, the Division Head of Disease Prevention and Management of the Jayapura Regional Health Office, on Tuesday (21/1/2020).
People living with HIV/AIDS in Jayapura Regency are mostly the productive age group ranging from 20-49 years old. There are also infants and children among patients.
"We are always updating the report on people living with HIV/AIDS [in our region]. If not, they would not be able to access the ARV," said Pungut.
He further said that the family plays a crucial role in preventing HIV/AIDS transmission. Similarly, he continued, life endurance among people living with HIV/AIDS depends on the support from their closest family.
"Those living with HIV/AIDS who regularly take their medicines (ARV) can reduce their medicine (ARV) can reduce the risk of virus transmission. So, please do not blame and stigmatise them," said Pungut.
Meanwhile, a Sentani resident Edison Sineri agrees that parents have a significant role in preventing their children from behaviours that likely lead to the transmission of HIV/AIDS and other sexual diseases.
"Currently, young people are easily get involved in promiscuity that difficult to control by parents. It possibly leads them to negative behaviours." (*)

Wamena, Jubi – The Government of Jayawijaya Regency has reduced the number of schools to receive funding on the Supplementary Feeding Program (PMTAS). The reduction relates to the Special Autonomy Funds cut off for the PON (the National Games) 2020
Nurlili, an official at the Jayawijaya Village Community Empowerment Office (DPMK), said last year the program was running in five schools in Napua, Maima, Musaftaf, Wita Waya and Wadangku subdistricts.
"There allocate for only two schools this year because of the budget cut off for the PON. We depend on the Special Autonomy Funds for this program," Nurlili said in Wamena on Tuesday (21/1/2020).
In 2020, the local government plans to implement the program in four sub-districts, namely Asolokobal, Wesaput, Muliama and Tagime. "But, Muliama and Tagime sub-districts are a bit far, so we decided to implement the program in the zone two, namely in SD YPPK Hepuba in Asolokobal Sub-district and SD Inpres Wesaput in Wesaput Subdistrict," he said.
The budget allocation for PMTAS Year 2020 reduced from IDR 857 million to IDR 468 million.
However, Nurlili hopes that in February they can conduct training for teachers and women at sub-districts and village levels on healthy food for children.
"At the end of the training, we will purchase some items that are not available in sub-districts and villages to deliver in March. They will be cooking food for the pupils, and we will monitor its implementation. There will be a payment for the cooks, but they should submit the report first," he said.
In addition to food ingredients, the local government also provides cash for schools to purchase some food from the local markets to help the cash flow of villages and sub-districts.
"This program is very critical because President Jokowi has instructed us to decrease stunting among children. Therefore, we allocate the PMTAS for the primary school children because it is their growth period," he said. (*)

Papua Provincial Secretary Herry Dosinaen was speaking in front of hundreds of exodus students at the court of Papuan People's Assembly's office – Wednesday (22/1/2020). – Jubi/Agus Pabika
Jayapura, Jubi – The Provincial Government of Papua would attempt to address problems facing the exodus students who continue to stay in Jayapura City, Papua.
Papua Provincial Secretary Herry Dosinaen told hundreds of exodus students who wish to meet Papua Governor Lukas Enembe in a meeting facilitated by the Papuan People's Assembly.
"The governor just called saying he now has a meeting with the Minister of Home Affairs and Minister of Education. They talk about the possibility listed exodus students for being able to resume their studies at their former educational institutions," the provincial secretary told hundreds of exodus students on Wednesday (22/1/2020).
Meanwhile, Papuan House of Representatives' Chairman Jhony Banua Rouw hopes the meeting between the provincial government, local parliament and the exodus students can accommodate both parties to a better solution.
"We are trying to find solutions for these students because it is not easy for them to return to their former cities of study and adapt to it. However, we can find a way to make them feel safe," he said.
According to him, before the students return to their former cities of study, it is the government's responsibility for ensuring that the students would be safe and secured. Therefore, there will be no more racism incidents to occur in the future.
"We must take immediate actions before the enrolment begins to avoid late enrolment that can affect their academic result and emotion in the cities of study," he said. (*)

In 1991, eight (8) entities within Grove Hall (three neighborhood resident groups, a church and four service organizations) came together to form a collaborative to address the issue of violence within the Grove Hall neighborhood of Roxbury and North Dorchester. They established Project R.I.G.H.T. (Rebuild and Improve Grove Hall Together) to increase the capacity of neighborhood resident groups and community based organizations to prevent crime and violence within Grove Hall. In 1994, Project R.I.G.H.T. was incorporated and became a 501(c) (3) tax-exempt organization. Project R.I.G.H.T., Inc. is also known as Project RIGHT, Inc. and PRI.
Since its inception, PRI has worked on public safety, violence and substance abuse prevention, electoral advocacy, and housing and economic development issues through grass roots models of sustainable resident and youth organizing. Our resident leadership has prioritized that we work on long-term solutions to some very complex and controversial social issues. PRI has formed very strong and unique collaborations, with strong resident leadership, that network and plan community-driven actions to solve problems impacting their neighborhood.
At present, there are over forty (40) organizations represented in the collaborative. PRI places a priority on increasing the number of residents involved in neighborhood associations, block watches and tenant associations within our target area. We identify resident leadership on unorganized streets to assist them in organizing their streets. Through our support and technical assistance, resident based entities have expanded their outreach efforts, grown organizationally, and worked more pro-actively in partnership on public policy issues, neighborhood concerns and housing/economic
development within Grove Hall. PRI has developed a very diverse support network for resident based groups, youth, community based organizations, merchants and faith based institutions by providing them with assistance in advocacy, leadership development, organizing, fundraising, public safety, economic and housing development, substance abuse prevention and evaluation.
Our day-to-day work involves training and supporting emerging and existing leadership by providing an inclusive network for resident led organizations to engage in community building and human development efforts.

Let Fans Pick Their Own All Star
In an effort to make the All Star voting more enticing and draw interest to the game, Major League Baseball has changed the voting for this year. Essentially up until June 21, the fans get to vote like they always did. After that, there will be a "Starters Election." The Staters Election has the fans vote for the starters from the now reduced list over a 28 hour window.
This is a change for its own sake, and it gets it partially right (more on that in a moment). Really, if Major League Baseball wants to get fans interested in the game, let the fans pick their own All Star. In this instance, their own All Star means the player they want to represent their favorite team.
Take the Marlins for example. Are any of their players really All Star worthy? Maybe Brian Anderson who has a 1.8 WAR this season. The problem there is Anderson is 10th among NL third baseman in WAR meaning if he's selected a worthy player is going to be left off in his stead.
Now, that's the way it is and will always be so long as every team is represented. If this is going to continue to be a fan spectacle, you do want to see every team represented. After all, even a team like the Marlins, who draw worse than some Triple-A teams, has fans, and you want them to tune in to watch. You want to see Anderson, or whoever their representative is play in the game.
But if you're going to want to entice the Marlins fans to watch, why not let them pick who they want to watch. For them, it could be Anderson, Miguel Rojas, Caleb Smith, or whomever else it might be. If you boil it down, if you are keeping a representative for every team to keep fans engaged, let them pick their representative.
By doing so, you not only keep them engaged, but you also prevent them from seeing a player they don't want to see in the game. For example, Mets fans saw Bobby Bonilla as their lone All-Star in 1993 and 1995 despite the fans likely wanting to see players like Dwight Gooden, Rico Brogna, or John Franco in the game. Remember, if you are trying to entice fans, you should entice them with players they want to see play.
That includes being able to vote for pitchers. There are logistical issues with pitchers being available to pitch in the game. However, that should not prevent fans from having their favorite players on the roster even if they cannot participate in the game.
Remember that this would create a pool of just 15 players on a 34 man roster. That's just seven additional players. Certainly, you could accommodate this by adding six more roster spots if deemed necessary. After all, September rosters are 40. If a manager can handle 40 players in September, there's no reason he cannot handle that in an exhibition game where managers try go get everyone into the game.
Really, when looking at it that way, there's no real reason why fans couldn't or even shouldn't pick their own team's representative. Let the Marlins pick their one guy. Mets fans seem to want to push for Pete Alonso. Let them see him in the game. Let Yankees fans send CC Sabathia for one last All Star appearance before his possible Hall of Fame career ends. Again, let fans see who they want to see who they want.
You can do a results show on MLB Network announcing those players. You can then do another show announcing the pool of elected players. Then, you can do the Staters Election Major League Baseball has implemented. Only this time, fans are picking from the actual All-Stars. Then, you can hold the results until the game.
You get fans tuning in a little earlier to find out exactly who the starters are because they won't know until player introductions. If all done properly, you get more interest because fans are seeing who they actually want to see, and you get more people tuning in earlier in order to see the results. Ultimately, this is the best way to handle every team represented and creating the highest possible level of fan interest in the game.

Mets Blogger Roundtable: Who Should The Mets Bring Back To The Organization?
This offseason, the Mets have begun hiring some former fan favorites as special advisors to Brodie Van Wagenen. David Wright was the first with the team recently hiring Al Leiter and John Franco. We have also seen the team swap Nelson Figueroa with Todd Zeile for the postgame. In addition to those moves, Mike Piazza made his annual stop at Spring Training.
Seeing how the Mets are focusing more on their history, and recent history at that, you wonder who exactly the team will bring back next. We answer that question in our latest roundtable:
Metstradamus (Metstradamus Blog)
I want to see Justin Turner come back and play third base.
My list of ex-Mets I'd welcome back in some capacity is too numerous to detail. I love the idea that these guys are forever part of the family as applicable.
Tim Ryder (MMO)
I'd like to see Carlos Delgado back representing the Mets in some capacity. His dedication to his craft (remember that notebook he wrote in after every at-bat?) would play well in this young-ish clubhouse, as well as through the organization.
James Schapiro (Shea Bridge Report)
Does Jarred Kelenic count?
Really though, this is more of an overall thought than a concrete idea, but Billy Wagner is one of the least-recognized greats in baseball history. By pretty much any measure he's the second best modern-style closer of all time, and he's already pretty much forgotten. I'm not sure the Mets should be the ones to honor him, but someone needs to.
Previously, I opined how Johan Santana could be a real difference maker in the organization if he were able to teach pitchers his changeup much in the same way he once did with Jacob deGrom. However, from a pure standpoint of wanting to bring a player back into the fold, I would like to see Carlos Beltran return to the Mets.
As it stands, Beltran is going to be in a position where he can choose a Royals, Mets, or a blank cap when he is inducted into the Hall of Fame. When you're the Mets, and you only have two Hall of Famers in Tom Seaver and Piazza, and Seaver is no longer making public appearances, it would see a team should do all they can do to bring one of those Hall of Famers back to Queens.
Once again, I appreciate each of these writers taking their time to contribute to these roundtables, and I hope each person who reads this takes the time to visit the other writers sites to see their excellent work.

Mets Should Hire Johan Santana In Addition To Leiter, Franco, And Mendoza
During this offseason, the Mets have certainly made splashes hiring David Wright, John Franco, Al Leiter, and now Jessica Mendoza in a player development role for the organization. These are all intelligent baseball people, who if utilized properly, can have a profound impact upon the Mets organization.
Seeing how three of these hires were popular Mets players, the team should consider doing the same and bringing back Johan Santana.
There are plenty of superficial reasons why the Mets should bring Santana back to New York. He is the only pitcher in Mets history to pitch a no-hitter. His 2008 season was great, and he would pitch the last great game seen at Shea Stadium. To this day, he remains popular with the fanbase. All that said, the real reason the Mets should bring back Santana is his change-up.

— Rob Friedman (@PitchingNinja) May 29, 2017
Santana's changeup was a truly great pitch. It was a pitch he used to win two Cy Young awards in what was a borderline Hall of Fame career. It was a pitch which earned him a massive contract with the Mets. It was the final pitch he threw to strike out David Freese to end his no-hitter. It was the pitch he taught to Jacob deGrom, which forever changed the trajectory of deGrom's career.
Back in 2011, deGrom was rehabilitating from Tommy John surgery, and Santana was rehabilitating from shoulder surgery. As the two worked at the team's rehabilitation facility in Port St. Lucie, their paths would cross. As reported by the New York Times, Santana would teach deGrom the pitch that made Santana a Cy Young award winner and would one day make help make deGrom one as well:
[W]hile doing his rehabilitation work at the Mets' rehabilitation facility in Port St. Lucie, Fla., deGrom fell into conversation with Johan Santana, the Mets' injured ace. Santana proceeded to teach deGrom his famous changeup, how to grip the ball, how it should look the same as a fastball coming out of his hand. Santana told him to practice throwing at 180 feet. If he threw it correctly, the ball would fall well short.
As noted by the Fangraphs, deGrom's changeup was the second most valuable changeup in all of baseball last year making it his best pitch last year. According to Brooks Baseball, opposing batters hit just .139 off of his changeup. The pitch is a large reason why deGrom was second in the league in getting batters to swing at pitches outside of the strike zone, and why he had the fifth most swings and misses against him.
Much of what deGrom accomplished began when he was rehabbing at the same time as Santana. If the Mets were wise, they would bring back Santana to have a profound impact on someone else's career. He may help Corey Oswalt or Chris Flexen go to that next level. It's possible David Peterson, Anthony Kay, and Thomas Szapucki each take a huge step forward in their development.
Perhaps, there is some pitching prospect who is not well known at this time who could learn Santana's changeup and have his career take off. After all, that's what happened to converted shortstop and former ninth round pick Jacob deGrom.

Good Luck Jerry Blevins
Today, we would not have seen Jerry Blevins come to the Mets, at least not in the fashion he did. On the eve of the 2015 season, the Mets would trade Matt den Dekker to the Nationals for Blevins. With that trade, the upstart Mets would have the LOOGY they needed to challenge the Nationals for the division. Looking at the way things are now, that trade would never happen today.
We can be thankful things were different in 2015.
Blevins Mets career would get off to a great start. In April, he made seven appearances pitching five scoreless innings. During that stretch, he got out a who's who of players Mets fans have loved to hate – Bryce Harper, Ryan Howard, Freddie Freeman, and Chase Utley. With that, Blevins certainly endeared himself to Mets fans.
Unfortunately, Blevins would get hit with a come-backer breaking his arm. While rehabbing, he'd slip on a curb and break his arm again meaning he'd miss out on the Mets surprising 2015 run to the World Series, a run he'd help get started with his performance in April. He would not miss the next run as he would be a key member of the Mets bullpen in 2016.
During the 2016 season, Blevins was much more than the LOOGY we all imagined him to be. No, Blevins was a pitcher who could get both right and left-handed batters out. He became a guy you could entrust the 7th or 8th inning. During that season, the Mets had a very small margin of error, and his pitching in the same bullpen with Addison Reed and Jeurys Familia helped pull the Mets over the finish line and into the top Wild Card spot.
Blevins contributions were immeasurably important for a team who claimed a Wild Card spot by just one game. One or two slip-ups, and the Mets may not have even been in contention for a spot. That goes double in July and August when the Mets were teetering, and Blevins responded with a 1.88 ERA.
While Blevins would continue to pitch well for the Mets in 2017 and 2018, the Mets would not be able to continue what was a two year run. In total, Blevins was a Met for four years, and in that time, he was 14-4 with four saves, a 3.38 ERA, 1.269 WHIP, and a 10.8 K/9.
Breaking it down, his K/9 is the third best all-time among Mets relievers. When you consider Tug McGraw, John Franco, and Billy Wagner, he's in the top five Mets left-handed relievers all time. Really, when you look at pure left-handed set-up men, the discussion is between him and Pedro Feliciano for the best in Mets history. That's a truly amazing feat.
But Blevins was more than that. He was as fan friendly a player as you will see. He hosted a Fantasy Movie League for fans to participate. He had a fun Twitter account. He hosted a baseball camp. He had a good sense of humor, was self effacing, and really was just a great guy on top of being very good at what he did:
They sent the ball straight to Cooperstown. https://t.co/ZKALlvQGP4
— Jerry Blevins (@jerryblevins) August 17, 2018
In the end, Blevins will not just be missed because he was one of the best relievers in Mets history. He will be missed because he was a fun guy to root for during his time in Queens. He was that rare player who elevated his game in New York. He now returns to Oakland a new father looking to do for the Athletics what he did for the Mets.
For many reasons, Mets fans wish him the best of luck.

Who Will Be The Next Mets Player To Enter The Hall of Fame
Come this July, the Baseball Hall of Fame will see the largest Hall of Fame class we have seen in over 50 years. In this class, there will be six new Hall of Famers, none of whom even wore a Mets cap during his career. As we know, Tom Seaver and Mike Piazza are the only two players inducted as the Mets in the Hall of Fame.
Looking further, there are questions as to where the next Mets Hall of Famer will come.
Seeing how the Veterans Committee, or rather the Today's Game Era Committed, elected Harold Baines and Lee Smith into the Hall of Fame, there is a chance for previously overlooked candidates who played in the 1980s to bet inducted into the Hall of Fame. Foremost in most Mets fans minds is Keith Hernandez.
With his being the best defensive first baseman of all-time, his 1979 NL MVP, five All-Stars, and two World Series titles, Hernandez has a strong case. When you look further, you see how every player who has led his position in Gold Gloves is in the Hall of Fame. Breaking it down further, Hernandez and Andruw Jones, who is still eligible, are the only two players with 10 Gold Gloves or more who have not been inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Put another way, Hernandez is a worthy candidate who may very well be inducted into the Hall of Fame in the near future. The problem when it comes to Hernandez is he will likely be wearing a Cardinals or blank cap. With his playing seven years in St. Louis along with his obvious love of the organization, it's possible the Hall will push him to wear a Cardinals or a blank cap similar to how they chose an Expos cap for the late Gary Carter. Admittedly, the case for Hernandez wearing a Mets cap is stronger than Carter's was.
Past Hernandez, the next best case is Carlos Beltran. Judging from WAR, Beltran is the eighth best center fielder of all-time. That puts him ahead of of Hall of Famers like Duke Snider, Andre Dawson, and Kirby Puckett. Combine that with his ranks among all-time switch hitters, being a nine time All-Star, and his postseason exploits, and we can all reasonably assume Beltran will eventually be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
However, like Hernandez, the cap may be an issue. In his career, Beltran played 44 games more with the Mets than the Royals giving him a reasonable option for either team. He may also feel a pull towards the Astros due to his postseason exploits and World Series ring, but he does not have nearly the time with them to wear an Astros cap.
When you consider how the Mets have consistently reissued Beltran's number 15, the acrimony of Beltran receiving career saving knee surgery, and Fred Wilpon's negative comments about Beltran in the infamous New Yorker article, it's hard to imagine Beltran feeling a pull to wear a Mets cap on his Hall of Fame plaque.
After that, there's an issue. While David Wright is a beloved player, he likely falls far short of meriting induction. Just look at Scott Rolen. Rolen had a better career than Wright, and he has only been able to muster 17.2 percent in his second year on the ballot.
After Wright, you are looking towards current Mets players. Among the group, Jacob deGrom probably has the best shot. So far in his five year career, he has a Rookie of the Year Award and a Cy Young along with his epic 2015 postseason. His career 143 ERA+ currently ranks 10th all-time putting him ahead of Hall of Famers like Greg Maddux, Randy Johnson, and even Seaver.
It should also be noted deGrom is 30 years old, and he has only played five seasons. He is going to have to pitch at his 2018 level for a few more seasons to truly enter the discussion. While it may be an uphill battle, we have seen pitchers take off after turning 30. For an example, we need not look any further than Max Scherzer, who is making his own Hall of Fame case.
As for Noah Syndergaard and even Michael Conforto, both have age on their sides. They have shown periods of dominance, but they have had health issues, which have also prevented them from putting up big years early on in their careers from building a more solid foundation to their Hall of Fame chances.
Breaking it down, in an odd sense, the Mets player with perhaps the best chance of induction is John Franco – seriously.
The Today's Era Comittee just opted to induct Lee Smith, and they opted to elect Baines from seemingly out of nowhere. When you stack Franco up against Smith, Franco has a better ERA+. Franco also has a higher ERA+ than Hall of Fame closers Bruce Sutter, Rich Gossage, and Dennis Eckersley. Moreover, Franco is just one of six closers in baseball history with over 400 saves, and he is the all-time leader in saves for left-handed pitchers.
For those who don't believe in Franco ever being able to be inducted in the Hall of Fame, the doubt is understood. After all, Franco, like Baines, fell off the ballot in his first year after he garnered just 4.6 percent of the vote.
The dubiousness underlying Franco's chances underlies just how long it may be before we ever see another Mets player inducted into the Hall of Fame. That should surprise no one as the organization did not see its first Hall of Famer until the franchise was 30 years old. It then had to wait another 24 years for its next Hall of Famer.
Perhaps, this is something the Mets should consider as they are passing on an opportunity to sign either Bryce Harper or Manny Machado this offseason.

2019 Baseball Hall of Fame Class Lowers The Bar
Mariano Rivera, Edgar Martinez, Roy Halladay, Mike Mussina, Lee Smith, Harold Baines – that is the 2019 Baseball Hall of Fame class. It is the largest Hall of Fame class this century, and it is the largest Hall of Fame class since 1964 when there were seven players inducted into the Hall of Fame.
It is quite the interesting class made all the more interesting by the surprise choices of the Veterans' Committe (or whatever they call themselves now) and because of the fact Rivera became the first ever player unanimously elected to the Hall of Fame. It should be noted there were rumors about Lou Gehrig who was inducted in a special election after his ALS diagnosis and retirement.
Another reason why this Hall of Fame class is so interesting is because it has lowered the bar for future Hall of Fame elections.
When looking at starting pitchers, the average Hall of Famer had a 73.4 WAR, 50.1 WAR7, and 61.8 JAWS. Put another way, your average Hall of Fame pitcher had a strong and prolonged peak surrounded by seasons where he was a good starting pitcher.
Of course, those numbers are derived almost by accident. Before modern voting, voters would elect anyone who hit the magic number of 300 wins. Other factors like Cy Young awards, 20 win seasons, ERA, strikeouts, and other standards would apply. That said, as we have moved into this current era of voting, more advanced statistics are used to adjudge candidates.
In fact, it was the justification to push for the election of Bert Blyleven. For his part, Blyleven amassed a 95.0 WAR in his career putting him well above the threshold. His induction also paved the way for someone like Mussina to get inducted into the Hall of Fame.
In his career, Mussina only had 20 wins once, and that was in the final year of his career. Mussina never won a Cy Young award and was never in the top three. He was just a five time All-Star. Belying those numbers was greatness. Mussina had an 83.0 WAR and a 130 ERA+. Simply put, he was great, and it was due to modern numbers we have been able to recognize that greatness and see a push for his induction.
The questionable candidate is Halladay, who actually garnered a higher percent of the vote than Mussina. Behind Halladay's two Cy Young Awards and no-hitter in the 2010 NLDS was a pitcher who fell short of the Hall of Fame standards. His 64.3 WAR and 57.5 JAWS was close but below standards. It should be noted his 50.6 WAR7 did crack the list making him a more than justifiable, albeit borderline candidate.
The Hall of Fame isn't harmed inducting a player of Halladay's caliber, especially with his peak years meeting the standard. What is curious is how someone who should've been a borderline candidate was inducted on the first ballot with 85.4 percent of the vote while Mussina, a better pitcher over his career, barely cleared the 75 percent threshold in his sixth year on the ballot.
With respect to Rivera, there was no doubt he was a Hall of Famer. He's the All-Time leader in saves, and he has all the postseason exploits to bolster his case. He also leads all relievers in baseball history in WAR, WAR7, JAWS, and entrance music. He was clearly the greatest at what he did, and there was no debate. Literally, there is no debate as he received 100 percent of the vote.
Where things became dubious was the election of Smith. During his time, Smith was a feared closer who had the most saves in baseball history until he was surpassed by Trevor Hoffman, who was another dubious selection.
When it came to Smith and Hoffman, the cases were basically made on the amount of saves and superlatives like dominating. However, in the grand scheme of things, they didn't measure up to other great relievers. Respectively, each fell far short of the 38.1 WAR, 26.5 WAR7, and 32.3 JAWS the average Hall of Fame reliever had amassed.
Inducting both Hoffman and Smith has lowered the bar to the point where we cannot be sure where it is going. Is it going to be a 475 career saves standard asking to 300 wins or 3,000 hits? Who knows? But at a certain point, someone is going to have to figure out the line because with recent inductions, Billy Wagner's case is all the more justified as are cases for players overlooked in voting like John Franco and Jeff Reardon. Coincidentally, at one time Reardon battled back-and-forth with Smith to claim that all-time saves record.
As troubling as that may be, the election of the designated hitters into the Hall of Fame may be the most troubling.
Looking at the proverbial magic numbers, neither Martinez nor Baines clears the mark despite both of their job duties being JUST hitting. Previous Hall of Famers who spent more time at DH than as a fielder, Frank Thomas and Paul Molitor, did clear each of those marks with Thomas having over 500 homers and Molitor having over 3,000 hits.
For both hitters, there have been cases spelled out, but at their core, they were just hitters, which should thereby negate any argument over whether defense should count against someone like Jeff Kent.
It should be noted Kent had more games played, hits, doubles, triples, homers, RBI, stolen bases, and sacrifice flies than Martinez despite playing one fewer year. He had more doubles and stolen bases with having a better batting average and slugging percentage than Baines while having the same OBP. Yet, somehow voters are not enticed to vote for Kent because he had poor defense, and he was cranky with the media.
Ponder that for a moment, Kent put up all-time great numbers at second base including being the all-time leader in homers as a second baseman, but he's not going into the Hall of Fame now because he was a poor defender. Meanwhile, Martinez and Baines are being rewarded for just hitting and never having to field.
As bad as that may seem for Kent, who cannot find a way to crack 18.1 percent in his sixth year on the ballot, imagine how Fred McGriff feels. Like Kent, he was dinged for defense and even base running, and yet, he's not a Hall of Famer despite hitting nearly 500 homers and being one of the most clutch hitters all-time.
While they're overlooked, Larry Walker and his seven Gold Gloves and an OPS+ just behind Martinez's is being penalized for playing in Coors Field. Of course, Martinez is not facing the same penalty for playing in the Kingdome. Same thing can be said for Andruw Jones and his 1o Gold Gloves and 434 homers. Really, we have discovered defense does not matter whatsoever even if Walker has a higher WAR than Martinez.
The point is the Hall of Fame standards have been driven down. You no longer have to be among the greatest relievers of all-time. You just have to be good in your era. You don't have to be a complete ballplayer. You just have to hit. That's a lowering of standards, and if those standards are now universally applied, there should be a bevy of previously borderline or overlooked candidates who should now be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Mets Not Permitted To Wear First Responders Caps Again
One surprising thing popped up on my son's school calendar. It was to wear red, white, and blue for what is being referred to there as Freedom Day. Having lived through the events of 9/11 and dealing with my own fears and loss due to the terrorist attacks, it just struck me as odd that 18 years later, children would wear red, white, and blue to celebrate America. Odd, but good.
What also strikes me as odd is how Major League Baseball continues to not permit the New York Mets to wear the First Responders caps during the games played on 9/11. Ultimately, when we talk about how we get from devastating terrorists attacks to children honoring America, the First Responders caps were an important part of the story.
It meant a lot to New Yorkers to see the New York Mets wear those caps. We all shed a tear as John Franco wore an FDNY cap in honor of his fallen friend as he earned the win in the first game back after the attacks. There was not a dry eye anywhere when Mike Piazza hit that home run off Steve Karsay to win the first game played in New York after 9/11.
Wearing the caps was the brainchild of Todd Zeile. He defied Major League Baseball and encouraged his team to do the same. They all did it playing at Shea Stadium, a place that was a staging ground for the recovery and relief efforts. He had the full support of his manager Bobby Valentine, and yes, his ownership, who have unsuccessfully petitioned Major League Baseball to wear the caps during a game.
What remains odd is how fearful Major League Baseball is that another Mets player will defy them like Zeile once did. In fact, as R.A. Dickey once pointed out, Major League Baseball has threatened severe fines against players who choose to defy them, and they have taken the steps to collect the caps from the dugout and clubhouse after batting practice. This isn't normal behavior.
In that sense, it's odd. Across the country, schools are honoring America. Adults are taking time to remember, and some of us still mourn. Meanwhile, Major League Baseball is making sure teams don't infringe on a licensing deal because somehow allowing the Mets to wear First Responder caps is a bad thing for Major League Baseball and New Era.
Really, in 18 years, it's just plain shocking no one sat across the table and figured this out. There could have been some sort of happy medium wherein either New Era makes the caps, or that they create a new cap to both honor the fallen while keeping in the spirit of the licensing agreement.
Instead, Major League Baseball will go out of their way to announce the Mets will wear the caps during batting practice, which as we have learned, you are not required to wear officially licensed gear. In their minds, they probably think they are offering a best of both worlds solution. They're wrong.
The shame of it is as we become further removed from 9/11, the more we move about our everyday lives. In the 18 years since, we have graduated from school, gotten married, and started families. For those of us who remember, we also have to remember work and running a household. Moreover, we have to get our children ready for days like "Freedom Day."
So in different places in America, we're mourning and honoring while Major League Baseball is forgetting and enforcing.

Meet The Mets Fan: Mets Public Address Announcer Colin Cosell
Colin Cosell, PA Announcer at Citi Field
As a child, I was always open to all New York sports teams (except hockey – I'm all Rangers). However, the first professional playoff I ever paid attention to was the MLB in '86. I was six years old, and the New York Mets were en route to a World Series title. It changed the city, and it changed me as a fan.
My current favorite Mets player would have to be Wilmer Flores. Love his skill set and overall persona. Historically, however, I'd go with John Franco. Always loved him.
The '86 Series, obviously, but the NLCS clincher against the Cubs a few years ago was so magical. NYC turned into a sea of blue and orange, as if we were the only team in New York.
First of all, I'd like to personally thank Mets fans for giving me a chance as one of their new PA Announcers. I truly love this job and hope they're warming up to me.
In the grand scheme of things, all I can say is what we all say: be patient, keep the faith, and let's at least make the most of summer – win or lose. LET'S. GO. METS!!!

Promotes raptor conservation sponsoring or donating funds to promote raptor conservation. We regularly contribute to the Hawk Migration Association of North America (HMANA), which maintains the HawkCount database, and to individual local projects, such as kestrel nesting box programs.
An annual meeting, traditionally in suburban Boston in September on the first Friday after Labor Day, enables us to bring in a nationally known speaker to talk to us about hawks. We often also have other short presentations at the meeting, a raffle of raptor materials, and the opportunity to talk with others interested in hawks. It's a bit like an annual reunion, seeing a lot of old friends and meeting new ones. It starts with a social hour from 6-7:00p.m., including an assortment of snacks and refreshments.
Speakers at our annual meeting include many of the world's leading raptor authorities: Bill Clark, Pete Dunne, Rob Bierregaard, Todd Katzner, Kate Davis, Bryan Watts, Norm Smith, Tom French, Steve Hoffman, Kevin Karlson, Jeff Dodge, Tom Sayers, and many, many more more. The meetings are free and open to the public. Learn more about this year's meeting.
We encourage beginning hawk watchers to visit any of these sites or to cover other sites of their own choosing as often as possible. We seek volunteers to hawk watch this fall. You don't have to be an identification "expert" to participate. The best way to learn to identify hawks is to look for them as often as possible during migration, and to do so with experienced hawk watchers, who are always ready to help you identify what you see. We recruit and prepare volunteers to hawk watch from well known sites such as Wachusett Mountain, Mt. Watatic, especially on weekdays, or from any location you'd like to cover, including your own back yard.
Reporting the volume of migrating hawks daily is more important than identifying them all by species. For more information on participating in a hawk watch or on submitting reports of what you see, browse the links on this page or contact EMHW at scarey@avfx.com.
We publish a substantial club newsletter (20 pages) every August sent to every dues-paying member. We do not post the current newsletter on the web site, but you can see several of the recent newsletters here on our site.
Web site: Have photos of hawks or of people at any of the sites EMHW covers? Do you have ideas or information that would be helpful to have posted on the web site?
Newsletter: Have an idea/article for the newsletter? Please consider writing a small article for the EMHW newsletter and sending it to us for next year.
Annual Meeting: Interested in helping at the annual meeting? We are always looking for people to help with any number of tasks at the annual meeting. Also we are looking for ideas for guest speakers for next years meeting.
Fall counters and assistants: Interested in helping with this years count at any of the fall sites? Please consider volunteering as a counter or an assistant to one of the lead counters for even one day.
It's your organization, so please help make it a successful one!
Please e-mail Shawn Carey at: scarey@avfx.com, we are looking for your input.


Did you know Henry Ford II dismissed the VW Beetle as a bad design?
The Volkswagen (VW) Beetle is one of the most iconic cars in history. It was designed by Ferdinand Porsche and first introduced in Nazi Germany.
Namely, Adolf Hitler believed his country needed a cheap, mass-produced car for the new road network built in his country. The first Beetle was built in 1938 but, due to the outbreak of World War II, the car wasn't really mass produced until 1945.
Luckily for the Beetle, most of the essential equipment had been moved to underground bunkers after the factory which produced them was hit by Allied bombing raids. This allowed production to resume quickly after the war ended.
The whole of VW, including both the factory and patents, were offered to Henry Ford II for free. However, he dismissed the Beetle as a bad design, claiming it had no future.
Indeed, the Beetle was considered a very small car ("bubble car" or "minicar") in the USA. While very popular in Europe, such cars were never built in the USA, and rarely imported.
Yet the British nonetheless decided to adopt the Beetle. It proved to be a huge hit worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling vehicles of all time.
Even in the USA it found a market among poor youth, and was a sort of symbol of the counterculture, being the perfect antithesis to the large, chrome-plated cars that were glorified there.

SPUT Youth Council: Vilai Her
What is your favorite memory with Saint Paul Urban Tennis?
One of my favorite memories with Saint Paul Urban Tennis is going to the Warrior Leadership Academy and bonding with friends on the bus rides. The bus is a place where we can be ourselves, have fun, and build long-lasting relationships.
How has Saint Paul Urban Tennis developed you as a leader?
Saint Paul Urban Tennis has developed me as a leader by giving me opportunities such as being in the High Performance (HP) program during the winter season.
HP allows me to develop my coaching skills with the Warrior Leadership Academy and gives me the opportunity to be on the Youth Council. Another way SPUT has developed me as a leader is by having me become one of their coaches during the summer. I think that is a great way to help kids like me develop into leaders.
What skills have you improved as a Youth Council member?
As a Youth Council member, we try our best to improve Saint Paul Urban Tennis programming.
We work with each other and learn to listen and keep an open-mind. The skills that I have improved as a Youth Council member are my listening skills and my ability to give detailed feedback.
If you had to eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?
If I had to eat one thing for the rest of my life, I would choose sushi! There are so many different varieties of sushi. It includes all kinds of food, sauce, and flavors from around the world, which I really like. If I was to get tired of eating a specific kind of sushi, I could change to another!
How do you motivate yourself? How do you motivate others?
I motivate myself by constantly giving myself reminders of how hard I've worked, and why I started in the first place. I set new goals to work towards, and do everything I can to achieve them. I motivate others by leading by example. If I work hard as a leader, others will see and want to do the same. I have also been told that I motivate others by doing things genuinely out of love and from my heart, not necessarily because I want the "leader" or "captain" title.
What will you miss most about Saint Paul Urban Tennis?
What I will miss most about Saint Paul Urban Tennis is the Warrior Leadership Academy during the winter, because it is such a blast.
Winter is when it's usually off season, so court time is really precious to a lot of us minorities. Everyone takes advantage of the court time and makes the best out of it, which I think is really amazing since not every community has that. I'm really happy that SPUT gives kids that opportunity.

Q: Chrome default_popup not running Javascript I'm trying to add this to my default_popup on Chrome, however, it seems the javascript does not run, at all. I've tested it on JSFiddle and as an isolated file, and it works fine. However, once adding it to my extension, it does not work.
Edit: Updated the code to fit what I thought would work according to the first answer. However, it does not work.
popup.html

Do Stuff

script.js
document.getElementById('save').onclick = function(e) {
  window.alert("asdf");
}

A: Take a closer look at Content Security Policy in Chrome extensions and apps. You're not allowed to use inline scripting.

A: First of all if you want to test if your script is executing successfully or not then do something like this
JS (script.js)
alert('Script is running');
document.getElementById('save').onclick = function(e) {
  window.alert("asdf");
}

Secondly, there is a problem in your code. You are trying to bind an event listener on save element which does not exist in DOM when you are attaching the event. So

*

*load your script in the end (OR)

*Attach event listener when document is ready

So to fix your problem, just try loading script in the end. Change the order of div#save and script tags to look something like this

Do Stuff

Let me know if it does not solve your problem.

Andrew Hendy was a Hereditary Chief of the Mosquito Reservation.

He was proclaimed by the Nicaraguans on the death of his cousin George V, who died on 8 November 1888. He was repudiated by many people of the Miskitu Nation and abdicated in favour of his cousin Jonathan I, on 8 March 1889. He retired to Nicaraguan territory where he became a Miskitu Jefe Inspector and River Magistrate. He was subsequently chosen as a rival Chief by General Rigoberto Cabezas who deposed Robert Henry Clarence in 1894. He was reappointed for the third time and formally installed at the Government Palace, Bluefields, on 20 November 1894. He was later accepted as chief by his own relatives and others who resided around the Wangki River within traditional Nicaraguan territory, but was opposed by the vast majority, who saw him as a Nicaraguan stooge and rebelled against him in 1896, 1899 and 1900.

I have been trying to locate a schematic for my 76 F100, it has a 300 4.5l inline 6. I own both Haynes and Chilton manuals. I've gone to my local library and did some research, older manuals and shop manuals, with no joy. I don't have any stickers under the hood to assist. I've called the Ford Research facility, and the Detroit Library of Auto, nothing. I've scouted the internet, no luck. I'm new to the game and any help is greatly appreciated.
My tablet would just download a page with message suggesting use of Adobe 9.
