There are a lot of studies which associate "eating a healthy breakfast" with "weighing less and generally being more healthy overall." In fact, "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" is a bit of entrenched received wisdom, one of those pseudo-facts that we pass amongst ourselves without question.
I posted another piece about why I don’t share photos of Wood Sprite on Facebook anymore, and some friends pointed out that the author seems to be a bit hypocritical when you see other posts she’s written. Fair enough, but I stand by the fact that our kids should get to decide when their online presences begin, who owns their photos and what is shared about them.

Have you heard that yelling has been proven to be as damaging as hitting, especially in teens? I think that one day we’ll look at spanking like we look at abusing your wife, which used to be legal—and then we’ll look at yelling like spanking.

Q. Again ... how could he run a 4.45 ERA in the PCL?
A. How could Randy Johnson go 7-9, 4.40 at age 25? With a 104/70 control ratio? Or how could these young lefty flamethrowers have high ERA's?
.
Q. But that's in the bigs. Paxton had a 4.45 ERA in the minors.
A. Any of those lefties could walk people in the minors or majors.
Randy Johnson had a control ratio of 168/129 his last two years in the minors.
Gio Gonzalez had a 4+ ERA in the minors going, and Billy Beane called him up. Mark Mulder also had a 4+ ERA going in the minors when he got called up. That's because Billy Beane knows that a wild lefty might as well learn the league while he's learning his foot plant and release point. When he jells physically, he might as well have the info downloaded!
ERA is not the point on wild young lefties. They walk five guys and hit the showers, or they don't walk guys and they lock you down. Why would you use ERA to measure that? Measure number of good starts against number of bad starts.
.
Q. OK, fine. How many good starts and bad starts has Paxton been having.

I never really put much thought into male circumcision until this past year. I’ve always been an advocate against female genital mutilation, which is really easy to denounce because of the constant pain, suffering and violence it causes. But when you actually take a look at male circumcision, you’ll see that it, too, is a form of mutilation, and causes unnecessary pain, trauma and even death to baby boys.
