Hall of Fame Voting
Now is a great time to read baseball articles from around the country, as Hall of Fame voters often write columns announcing and defending their ballots for next spring's induction.
Voters get to vote for a maximum of 10 players from the list of nominees that we glanced over in this post last month.
Roberto Alomar
Kevin Appier
Ellis Burks
Bert Blyleven
Andre Dawson
Andres Galarraga
Pat Hentgen
Mike Jackson
Eric Karros
Ray Lankford
Barry Larkin
Edgar Martinez
Don Mattingley
Fred McGriff
Jack Morris
Tim Raines
Shane Reynolds
David Segui
Todd Zeile
After careful (not very careful) deliberation, my Hall of Fame ballot would contain check marks next to the following names: Bert Blyleven, Tim Raines, Roberto Alomar, Barry Larkin, Edgar Martinez, Alan Trammell, Andre Dawson, and Fred McGriff. They won't all get in, but it would be fine for my Hall of Fame.
Posnanski recently spent 5,000 words discussing, among other things, the infinite possibilities of who's in & who's out of everyone's perfect Hall of Fame. He compared the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, with Baseball Think Factory's Hall of Merit.
So, why did I pick those eight guys? Why were these my 'eight men in'? (sorry, that's really bad.) Whom did I barely leave off my ballot? Who's asking these questions?
Rich Lederer is my unofficial leader of the pro-Bert for HOF movement. This post from December 12, 2005 opened some minds. In fact, on December 17, 2005, Bob Klapisch, calling himself 'a late convert', joined the flock.
A simple Google search of "bert blyleven for hall of fame" shows 51,400 results. Joe Posnanski has written virtually countless words on the subject, most recently
here, here, here, and even here. One of my favorite stats recently pulled out by Joe, with help from one of his Brilliant Readers shows number of wins that pitchers got from 1-0 final score games...
Most 1-0 shutout victories
Walter Johnson: 38
Pete Alexander: 17
Bert Blyleven: 15
Christy Mathewson: 14
Cy Young: 13
Eddie Plank: 13
Doc White: 13
Ed Walsh: 13
Dean Chance: 13
San Coveleski: 12
Gaylord Perry: 12
Steve Carlton: 12
Fergie Jenkins: 11
Greg Maddux: 11.
Nolan Ryan: 11.
Sandy Koufax: 10.
So the next time someone tells you that Bert Blyeven never won a Cy Young, you can say: "Yeah, but he won more 1-0 shutouts than Cy Young." And he did it when the ball was LIVE.
Here is another guy that should be an obvious choice, and again writers on this blog's suggested reading list like Keith Law, King Kaufman, Jonah Keri, and Tom Tango. Of course, we want to steal even more from our favorite writer, Mr. Posnanski...
The Hall of Fame seems to come down to a player's peak and his longevity. Was he truly great at his best? And was he good for a long enough time?
Well, Tim Raines had a huge peak. From 1983-87 — the five year peak — he hit .318/.406/.467 for a 142 OPS+, the same OPS+ that Jim Rice had during his five-year peak. During those five years, he averaged 114 runs scored, 34 doubles, 10 triples, 11 home runs and 71 stolen bases a year. He led the league in runs scored twice, batting and on-base percentage once, doubles once, stolen bases twice, and could have won three MVP awards. He had 163 win shares in those five years — an average of 32.6. Bill says a 30-win share season is an MVP-type year.
Tim Raines also had a huge career. He reached base almost 4,000 times … or to compare him to a similar player, about 150 times more than Lou Brock. He's fifth all-time in stolen bases. His .385 on-base percentage is the second-best among eligible Hall of Famers with 9,000 plate appearances (behind only the Walking Man Eddie Yost), and his slugging percentage is better than Rickey Henderson's or Brock's and just two points behind Joe Morgan.
This is not a borderline Hall of Fame candidate here. This is a dominant player. He never really got his due as a player while he was playing … in part because he shared his era with the great Rickey Henderson, in part because he spent his best years in Canada, in part because he was hammered by collusion, in part because on-base percentage did not (and does not) get the respect it deserved, in part because leadoff hitters tend to be naturally underrated, in part because he spent his last six or seven years as a part time player and that image of the older Raines was burned in the memory of people (especially his two championship years with the Yankees).
He had it all, or was just a touch less powerful than someone who had it all. He was the best defensive second baseman in the world for a while. He was awesome for about 11 years, from 1991 to 2001. Most importantly, he won and played well at the highest level with Toronto's first and last World Championship teams. Maybe I give him bonus points for flopping with the Mets in 2002. That was classic. Alomar was coming off arguably the best season of his career for the Indians in 2001, career high OPS of .956, to go along with 113 RBI, 100 R's, 20 HR's, and 30 SB's.
I find Barry Larkin's case to be similar to Alomar's and Trammell's. Larkin was an offensively gifted middle-infielder who lead his team to World Championship(s). His career shows how hard it can be to accumulate some counting stats. He played from the time he was 22 until he was 40, with a lifetime .295 Batting Average, yet he had only 2,340 hits. He's in my Hall due to his well-rounded abilities to use all five tools, my intangible feelings about winning and leadership, and other indefensible reasons like consistency. Here are some nice career stats: 379 stolen bases, caught only 77 times, BA/OBP/SLG career slash lines of .295/.371/.444, he walked more than he struck out, and of course he won a World Series ring in 1992.
The best Designated Hitter I've ever seen deserves his own post, or series of posts. He is a player who got a late start, after being mishandled by the Mariners as he toiled away in the Minors until he was 27 years old. Look at his stats, from 1992 and 1995 through 2003, when his OBP never dropped below .403, he hit with power, and ended his career with slash lines of .312/.418/.515. He gets penalized by some voters for playing most of his career as a DH, but I don't buy that for many reasons, of which I'll share three. First, should he be rewarded if his manager sent him out to play terrible defense like we sometimes see with guys like Jack Cust, Adam Dunn, and Jason Giambi? Do they help their teams more than guys who spare their teams crappy defense and DH? Second, the argument holds some water, if we're talking about a borderline hitter, but Martinez is an elite warrior with the bat. He could work the count, take a walk, hit an occasional "ground ball with eyes", and drive mistake pitches into gaps and over walls outfielders' heads with regularity. Third, the precedent has been set when Paul Molitor got in on the first ballot. Sure, he had the automatic ticket of 3,319 hits. Still, he was a DH for many of those hits, and his career OPS+ of 122 is dwarfed just enough by Martinez's 147, that I have to stand firm on this one.
I feel that Trammell will never get into the Hall, mostly for being in the shadow of Cal Ripken his entire career. He was a leading winner in Motown for Sparky Anderson (not easy), and he had a very impressive peak in the mid 1980's. He's a borderline candidate, and I will stand with his supporters until proven otherwise.
Andre Dawsom
The Hawk is my favorite player of all time. He was the first super-human player I ever rooted for, and there is NO WAY he's staying off my ballot. I've heard the arguments against his induction, most loudly the fact that his career OBP was an abysmal .323. I choose to believe the arguments that only three players have 400 HR's and 300 SB's: Mays, Bonds, and Dawson. He won a bunch of Gold Gloves. Played Centerfield beautifully in his hey day in Montreal. Then, he commanded Right Field, with a cannon arm and great instincts in Wrigley Field and stops with Boston and Florida after that.
I also think that playing his peak years one Montreal's concrete & turf field ruined his knees more than most players in baseball history. If he'd played on a surface that kept him limber, he could have been a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Of course, the Hall of Fame would have thousands of players if we could all cancel out a few "if's".
I expect McGriff to get in eventually, but I'm not sure about this year. He never (or very rarely) felt like a Hall of Famer during his playing days. How many Hall of Famers are traded four times? His ability to play, like Larkin, from the age 22 season to age 40, enabled him to hit 493 Homeruns, drive in 1,550 runs, and 2,490 hits, with a career 134 OPS+.
All right, folks, let's hear from you. You can only vote for 10 guys. Who's on your ballot?

Wonderful post! I agree 100% with you on Dawson, Blyleven and Raines. Dawson's OBP shouldn't be weighed so heavily. His job was to knock in the guys ahead of him and he did that. He is 10th all-time in sacrifice flies! I'd take that any day of the week over a walk. If he was a lead-off man or two-hole hitter, OBP would be a different story.
If you love Andre, stop by my blog!

A research team led by Michael Biggerstaff, professor of meteorology in the College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences at the University of Oklahoma, is en route to Louisiana to deploy two of the university's truck-mounted Shared Mobile Atmospheric Research and Teaching (SMART) weather radars.
"The goal is to capture the vertical profile, duration, and gustiness of extreme winds in an effort to improve building codes to mitigate damage to homes and commercial buildings," Biggerstaff said of the project, which is funded by the National Institute for Standards and Technology.
Besides the mobile radars, the team will deploy several instruments to capture atmospheric conditions. Disdrometers will be used to measure the sizes of the raindrops to improve radar estimations of rainfall and inland flooding. In addition, researchers will use an instrument-laden vehicle that includes tools for launching weather balloons to document the wind profile, which aids in creating maps of the maximum winds observed in the storm.
The team traveling to Louisiana includes OU research scientist Gordon Carrie and graduate students Alec Prosser, Emily Blumenauer, Jeffrey Stevenson, Robert Moore, and Noah Brauer. They will be joined by Sean Waugh, a research scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Severe Storms Laboratory, and Addison Alford, a researcher with the OU Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies.
This is the thirteenth landfalling hurricane Biggerstaff has studied with the SMART radars, including three deployments in Louisiana last year. Biggerstaff's team supported the local
NOAA National Weather Service Office in Lake Charles, Louisiana, during Hurricane Delta following the destruction of a NOAA radar due to a previous storm, Hurricane Laura.
"Some of our past research has examined the maximum winds observed in Hurricanes Harvey and Florence, the development of inner core rainbands that contribute to inland flooding, the impact of vortices along the inner edge of the eyewall that produce extreme wind gusts, and the change in the vertical structure of the winds as they flow from water to overland," Biggerstaff said.
"Biggerstaff and his team continue to obtain valuable information while managing the risks inherent with making measurements in severe weather environments," said Berrien Moore, dean of the College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences and director of the National Weather Center. "This is important and we should applaud their work."

An All-American team is an honorary sports team composed of the best amateur players of a specific season for each position—who in turn are given the honorific "All-America" and typically referred to as "All-American athletes", or simply "All-Americans".  Although the honorees generally do not compete as a unit, the term is used in United States team sports to refer to players who are selected by members of the national media.  Walter Camp selected the first All-America team in the early days of American football in 1889.  In 1950, the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) selected its first All-American baseball team.  It has since chosen All-American teams and a player of the year for each division (National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I, Division II, Division III, National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, junior college and high school).  Collegiate Baseball selects All-American, Freshman All-American and High School All-American teams.  Baseball America selects pre-season and post-season All-American teams and College Player of the Year honorees.

Various organizations selected All-American lists of the best players for the 1992 NCAA Division I college baseball season. The ABCA, the magazine Baseball America, and Collegiate Baseball were the NCAA-sanctioned selectors.  This list only includes players selected to the post-season All-American first team for each selector.  However, many All-American selections choose second, third, etc. teams from the remaining eligible candidates.

Accomplishments
Brooks Kieschnick, Phil Nevin and Lloyd Peever were named player of the year by ABCA, BA and CB, respectively. Jason Varitek was honored by all three selectors with selections on the 1993 and 1994 teams and would be player of the year in 1994.  Darren Dreifort repeated as a 1993 selection.  Kieschnick was both a  1991 and 1993 selection and became repeat player of the year in 1993.  Kieschnich won the Dick Howser Trophy in 1992 & 1993 and Varitek won it in 1994. Nevin won the 1992 College World Series Most Outstanding Player  Dreifort won the 1993 Rotary Smith Award, and Varitek won the award in 1994. Nevin won the 1992 Golden Spikes Award, and he was succeeded by Dreifort and Varitek in 1993 and 1994, respectively.

The 1992 All-American class featured three Major League Baseball All-Stars, two Olympians, one Major League Baseball record holder and a two-time World Series champion.   Varitek remained active. A total of 9 players were selected by all three NCAA-sanctioned selectors: pitchers Jeff Alkire, Lloyd Peever, Patrick Ahearne, and Dreifort; catcher Varitek; second baseman Brian Eldridge; outfielders Chad McConnell, Jeffrey Hammonds, and Troy Penix.  Texas was the only school with multiple players selected: Calvin Murray and Kieschnick.

Hammonds led the National League in fielding with a 1.000 fielding percentage including 157 putouts and 5 assists during the 1999 Major League Baseball season. He was selected for the 2000 MLB All-Star Game.  Although Phil Nevin has led his league in errors or passed balls in four different seasons at three different positions, he was a  2001 MLB All-Star and accumulated over 200 career home runs and over 1,000 hits.  Both Chris Roberts and McConnell played baseball at the 1992 Summer Olympics.  Varitek is a three-time MLB All-Star (2003, 2005 & 2008), Gold Glove-winner, Silver Slugger-winner and two-time World Series champion (2004 & 2007). Varitek has called the pitches for a major league record four no-hitters.

Canadian snowboarder Dominique Maltais had to overcome several obstacles to make it to the Sochi Winter Olympics, and she's ready to go for the gold.
Canadian snowboarder Dominique Maltais has the skill to capture gold at the 2014 Winter Olympics. She just needs a bit of (good) luck. Since her first foray into the Olympics—a bronze medal in snowboard cross at the 2006 Games in Turin, Italy— Maltais has had to overcome a series of obstacles.
First, she shredded her ACL in 2007. Then, two months before she was to compete in the 2010 Games in Vancouver, she was diagnosed with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that causes painful reactions when an affected person consumes gluten, a protein found in wheat and other common grains. The condition required Maltais to totally overhaul her diet. Finally, less than an hour before qualifying runs at the 2010 Games, Maltais crashed hard and injured herself, hampering her performance so badly that she was unable to qualify for the elimination heats.
Canadian snowboarder Dominique Maltais has the skill to capture gold at the 2014 Winter Olympics. She just needs a bit of (good) luck. Since her first foray into the Olympics—a bronze medal in snowboard cross at the 2006 Games in Turin, Italy— Maltais has had to overcome a series of obstacles.
But the resilient boarder has been on an absolute tear since that disappointment. She captured a bronze at the 2011 Snowboarding World Championships, a gold at the 2012 Winter X-Games and two wins at the Snowboard Cross Crystal Globe Championships (2011-2012, 2012-2013).
Heading into the Sochi games, Maltais tweaked her training to maximize her performance on the slopes. "I have totally changed my mentality since Vancouver," she says. "I don't train to be healthy, I train to be a better snowboarder. Everything I'm doing, every aspect, technical, physical, it's all to perform on my board. Our training is [designed] to build more muscle."
Her modified diet (still gluten free) has her feeling light on her feet. "I totally changed my diet, [which] totally changed my life," Maltais says. "I feel so much better. I was pushing a lot at the gym five or six years ago, but the improvement was very little. With my new diet, I have so much more energy and my improvements are much bigger. It's totally changed my entire life."
Of course, Maltais still needs to show up in Sochi. But if her recent successes foreshadow things to come, the rest of her snowboard cross competitors need to watch out. "I want to be perfect in every aspect [of snowboarding]," Maltais says.

Discovering the innovative and talented people who started Seiko watch company at such a late stage of its development requires a special kind of imagination. But that's exactly what Finders like myself aim to do. We want to appreciate Seiko's achievement not only by reviewing its stupendous track record, but also by getting a better understanding of how it came to be where it is. That's why we've decided to debut our "Finding Seiko" series, in which we aim to provide insight into the fascinating history of the Seiko watch company. Whether you're a fan of Seiko watches, or are just interested in its history, you'll definitely enjoy this article.
Seiko, which means "life" in the Japanese language, had its humble beginnings in 1881, when a craftsman's Basic watch, attached with a spring-driven winding effort and sulfur dial (a smoky wood panel is built into the case) was registered by Mr. Tsunemi Kinoshita. His intent: to produce a watch that would pass Seiko through a tough test without harming it in any way. At the time, the company's main product was a collection of three watches named the Seiko Ananta, Seiko Sintra, and Seiko Velatura. The first two featured diamonds, while the last one–Serengeti–was built of a solid black, kuine.
During the 1920s however, the kuine became Seiko's symbol of innovation, as the company began producing limited edition watches that sported the Seiko 9owsun (named after the 9th brightest star in the night sky, in Chinese locale–The above message copyright holders). These watches were and are among "the most hunted" luxury brands on earth today. According to Seiko's Web site, more than 8,300 of these special watches were produced, starting in 1924. That's not bad, but as we all know, the "real inventors" were using the word "garass" in all of their inventions.
Moving on, in 1949 Seiko licensed the brand name to American watch maker Esquire Perfania, and soon produced two additional watch models: the pulsar and the 09iesta. After several more new models in the 1950s, the company began offering the first company-named watch, the 1966 Swatch Sport watch model – also known as the Swatch stripe. In addition, lamentably due to competitive nature of the watch market at the time, the brand chose not to offer a vintage-style " Concerto effect" watch for its more popular youth-oriented consumers. Instead, the company focused on offering four collections: Professional, Sportig, Chrono and of course Classic. gut person who owned one of these watches remarked that they are "just like my old car… they have their period of glory and then they wipe themselves clean."
From here, the first two lines of Seiko watches that were put on the market made a splash – the company quickly realized that they were onto something big and began offering innovative new products. The Swatch Sport line was, of course, the first; it was actually originally intended to appeal more youth than adult age, and in September of 1966, the line was launched in the United States. The name Seiko was also abbreviated to serve as an homage to the company's defeat in theeg Antarctic Circle and the loss of the night sky above them.
This line was (as one would expect) Dakine's first attempt to offer something truly innovative and different to their customers. The original Seiko Sport watch was light, as phones (which later became the main product) often were, but the discovery of a new material (titanium dioxide) made a Telltale scratch resistant scratch resistant watch, allowing wearers to have what they wanted when they needed it: Seiko's first watch with hand-aged precious metals. The classic look of such ionic-plated watches was one of the core ideas behind the idea.
Another thing that the Seiko Sport watch proved was that innovation does not only mean smarter solutions – it means taking risks. Because of its immense amount of technical aspects, the Seiko Sport watch went beyond the ordinary sports watch: it was the first watch to be certified by both CIP and remindsig. Considering the amount of technological behind that rather small and seemingly inconsequential watch, we're bound to believe that Seiko was not afraid to throw around big bucks. Their watch is also notable in the fact that it was the first watch to include such advanced functions as chronograph functioning, alarm function, and a tachymeter.
With all of these achievements to their name, it is no wonder that Seiko watches are easily the most advanced watches on the market.

Civil rights icon Andrew Young was a keynote speaker for What the Truth Sounds Like – The Dallas Examiner screenshot/Texas A&M University-Commerce College video
By DIANE XAVIER
The Dallas Examiner
The deaths of African Americans like Breonna Taylor and George Floyd by White police officers resulted in a national outcry over racism and discussions about racial inequality all over the country.
In an effort to tackle these issues and topics, Texas A&M University-Commerce College of Education and Human Services hosted a Sept. 24 virtual symposium called What the Truth Sounds Like. The event featured speakers who discussed topics such as systemic racism, trauma in the African American community and the national call for equity.
The symposium was led by Dr. Kimberly McLeod, dean of the College of Education and Human Services, who discussed how to combat systemic racism.
"When we look at racial injustice in and ethnicities within the African American communities, it's easy to place blame and point fingers on systems of people that are external from us," McLeod said. "It's easy to say from a lens of comfort and convenience; 'They put themselves in that position,' or 'If it was me, this is what I would do, it is simple.' 'Why can't they pull themselves up like my family did?'
"It's easy to blame the African American mother or father or grandparents for broken homes. Pointing blame is easy and accepting that things can't change because that is just how things are, so we accept the status quo. This symposium is not an answer. This symposium is a song, it is what the truth sounds like for African Americans. It is a song that tells a story of a collective society so that keys can be created to unlock hate."
Civil rights icon Andrew Young, former ambassador to the United Nations and former Atlanta mayor, was a keynote speaker for the event.
Young presented his talk first revealing how he overcame tough times throughout his life.
"This has been a very difficult time for all of our lives because for the first time in my 88 years – and I have been through the Depression, I've been through World War II, and the early days of the recovery and Civil Rights Movements of the '50s and '60s – and those were not easy times but they were easy for me in part because I was prepared for them," Young said.
Young grew up in New Orleans in a diverse community.
"The neighborhood in which I was raised happened to be a working-class neighborhood that forgot to get segregated," he said. "On one corner there was an Irish grocery store and the other corner there was an Italian bar and the third corner they had quarters of the Nazi party. I lived right in the middle. There were other Black families and they had children my age, and so I had to deal with the problems of being different even before I went to kindergarten."
The year was 1936 and Young's father taught him at an early age about the ills of racism.
"It was 1936, there was no air conditioning and the windows were open and we can see into the Nazi rally party," he said. "My father explained to me these were white supremacists and white supremacy is a sickness and you have learned at Sunday school and at home that God created one blood all the nations in the earth and that is the truth we believe in."
Young's father also took him to see the 1936 Olympic games in a theatre that was segregated at the time.
"And watching Jesse Owens win the 100-meter dash and become christened the world's fastest human and this didn't go well with Hitler's white supremacy," he recalled. "And so rather than give him his medal he and his stormtroopers marched out of the stadium. My father said that normally people might get upset, by being ignored that way that people might get upset, but Jesse Owens didn't pay any attention. He won three more gold medals and won and said that's the way you have to deal with white supremacy. He said you don't argue with them, you just demonstrate if given a chance to compete with anybody and anywhere the worst thing you can do is to get angry."
He said it is important not to get mad but to get smart when faced with challenges.
"The one thing you remember all your life is don't get mad, get smart," Young said. "Mad in any kind of struggle or any kind of fight you'll find that you are more than likely to lose. That has been my approach to not only racial difficulties but all kinds of difficulties because I learn that almost everybody has some kind of problem with anybody who is different. It is something that I think every culture has to deal with. Now, Americans have tried to deal with it with a Constitution that protects the rights of all of our citizens, but most countries don't do that."
Young said the United States is facing many challenges today.
"Our country is right now being put to the test because we have such diversity and such conflict that we have a pandemic, a health pandemic going on with the coronavirus. We have a climate challenge where fires in California, the hurricanes raging in the Gulf, and whether you want it or not or whether you admit it or not, there is a climate change, there is a health challenge there is also an economic challenge and on top of all of this or because of all of this there is a technical challenge. I don't know whether you realize how much of a revolution it is that when I was the mayor of Atlanta we had four stories and four halls of city hall that had mainframe computers that were about 8 feet tall and four feet square to take care of Atlanta city's government.
"Now, I have in one little cell phone much technical capacity in this one little thing. We are in the midst of another technical revolution where artificial intelligence is going to be paneling a lot of things we had to worry about and think about. The technical problems that are pounding our society are making everybody insecure. The jobs are not being taken overseas. The jobs are being transformed from human hands to machines and they really just have no discs anymore. What we are doing is reorienting an entire society now that makes everybody insecure and they want to blame somebody. So they blame the immigrants or they blame the Black folks and tall people in Rwanda. The tall people and short people have civil wars. They were all Blacks, and all spoke the same language and had the same heritage. One hundred years ago someone decided short people and tall people need to be separated. Short people married short people and tall people married tall people. And we had a genocide in Rwanda where over a million people were killed and nobody was quite sure why and how it happened. That is the effect of rapid social change that we are living through in this day and age and time."
Young said race relations are going through the same changes.
"And so, when we look at race, let's just don't make it a me and you problem," he said. "It really is part of the rapid social change in an extremely complex society. So instead of being afraid of the problems of climate change or the problems of a pandemic or the problems of the economy that is in disarray or the problems of law enforcement, we got to find a way to embrace these problems and accept them as challenges."
He said he believes diversity should be embraced.
"Georgia State has about 188 different nationalities in its student body," Young said. "I guarantee you have a 100 at Texas A&M. These are people from the past two generations from parents who came from somewhere else. I have learned in Atlanta that a rich mixture of creativity and talent is what has made our city grow. And by embracing it and by celebrating the differences and appreciating the different cultural points of view that are brought in business is growing, culture is growing, sports is growing better, and it is so much better than the old fashioned segregated South that I grew up in."
Young said the world will continue to operate and grow despite its challenges.
"Now we are looking at a global reality," he said. "We have a globe that goes around and around, it never stops. That is the way the earth is on which we live. We have some people in power who want to stop the earth from turning, who wants to reverse and go back to an old time when things were different. It cannot be done. And the world is going to continue to turn and the inventors of technology are going to continue to invent. When I was growing up, we went to Sears/Roebuck catalog … Sears went to the suburbs and forgot poor people. And low and behold, here comes computers and Amazon taking over the whole thing and all of our shopping malls are doing a little different. So we are going to have to reinvent the way we shop.
Young went on to discuss changes in world travels. In looking at the 107 million people that entered the country through his local airport alone, he discussed the new viruses, diseases and health challenges that travel would bring to the United States. He encouraged the audience not to fear the change but see them as a challenge that would bring new opportunities. He also encouraged people to hold on to their faith in their religious values, the brain power those handling the crisis and the Constitution – which he acknowledge the country does not fully live up to – and work together to for a positive change.
Moreover, Young said he trusts in God to make a way to overcome challenges.
"In spite of all the troubles, I always found that the Lord will make a way out of no way," he said. "And it's only when the way gets dark, that we are begging to see a new light in the distance. I am waiting for that light. In the meantime, we have to seek it in ourselves and our neighbors, in our friends, and we have to vote for the light, vote for the future, we have to vote because that is the way you translate ideas into reality in a democracy such as ours."
The U.S. census will continue through October, paving the way for more Texans to be counted

The roots of the axe Yoga go back to Vedic and prevedico period. It is closely related to the Tantric tradition and is based on the theory that currents of prana flow with a particular modality in our body, and determine the estado in which we feel, we think or act. Currents of prana flow through determinados channels called nadis, forming plexus at different regions called padmas or chakras. All inappropriate operation of the body and mind are considered that it is due to the perturbacion in the passage of prana flows through one or more of these channels. Thus, mental disturbance have a physical basis in the body as a unit and all physical disorder has its basis in the mind.
The perturbaciones happen, then, as a result of an abnormality in the nadis. Hatha Yoga deals with this problem by opening the natural passage of these nadis so the current pranic flow is released and then direct them and adjust to produce a proper cambio in its operation. After obtaining the purification of the nadis, indicated how direct the pranic currents through private channels and fix prana at specific points, Hatha Yoga seems to be mainly connected with the establishment of a dynamic equilibrium and the facilitation of the passage of the current pranic. This equilibrium is established through a long process that builds the practice of purifying processes called kriyas sat. Muscle tone is balanced through positions with certain characteristics and the visceral direitmias are corrected through several pranayama and mudras. Becoming is more common in our society to resort to so-called alternative medicines, either in search of additional aid to traditional medicine or as substitutes of the latter, when we have not found a solution in the same. The first thing I would say is that I am in favour of making anyone do what considers appropriate with your health, which follow the treatments that create necessary or appropriate. If someone is cured meditating, congratulations.
I think the power of the brain is, on many occasions, more than medication. Having said that, I would like to concentrate on a specific point; the business of alternative medicines. If someone tells you that it will heal yourself by putting his hands on you, you think you and he heals you, Super. It is an agreement between two people in which you not prejudiced to a third, and that may work to the sick. The problem comes when the business advertises announcing that certain product cures a disease without scientific evidence that support it and, on many occasions, with evidence showing that that product or that therapy does not work. When I say that they do not work, I mean that the direct cause of healing is not the application of therapy or consumption of the particular product. It is possible for someone with an illness that medicine has not been able to cure until now, taking a homeopathic remedy and finish healing. But that does not demonstrate that healing is a direct consequence of the consumption of that natural remedies. That same rule of three, we could saying that praying is a remedy for certain diseases, because there are many cases of people who prayed to ask for healing and ended up making it safe. This mean that what cured them was a God who attended prayers? Well, it is possible, any hypothesis has some probability of being true, but positions to bet, I would say that not.
