Johnny dollar Johnny, this is Phillies today. He's today. That's right out in San Diego, right with Mono guarantee insurance Well, sure. How are you Phil? It's been a long time. I'm fine. Yes. I know it has and How'd you like to take a little run out here Johnny sunny Southern, California? Why not? Okay, now according to this plane schedule. I'm looking at if you can get a move on You can just about make connections on one of the jets coming out this way good I'll pick you up at the airport. See you Johnny. Hey, wait a minute Phil. Yes, give me something to worry about along the way What's your problem? Burglary or rather a whole series of them. I see yep I'm all directed at the same man or other man and wife whole series of them. Mm-hmm, right What's been taken the same thing every time Johnny? That's so what hold your hat. I'm holding Just exactly nothing. All right, I'll grab What was that you heard me well, I asked you what had been stolen. Yes, you said exactly nothing, right? That doesn't make sense I know But now you'll have to hurry to make your plane goodbye Phil just a minute. I'll be here and waiting for you CBS radio network brings you a Mandel Kramer and the exciting adventures of the man with the action-pact expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator yours truly Johnny dollar by a special investigator Johnny dollar to the Mono guarantee insurance company office in San Diego, California Following is an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the double-barreled matter A couple of bags 550 for a cab out to Bradley Field item 2 $180 and 40 cents plane fare to New York to Los Angeles to San Diego Thanks to one of the newer jets on that swing across the country It was only a few minutes after noon Pacific time that is when the plane landed at San Diego's Lindberg Field Which incidentally is only about a mile south of the city's main business district San Diego, you know was California's oldest Spanish settlement the spot where California's modern history got its start Also, I've heard it's the town that has the ideal climate that Los Angeles talks about having Anyway, it's a nice town with nice people a Busy naval and fishing port and a popular year-round tourist resort The latter because of its miles of clean beaches fine motels and as I said wonderful climate. I like it Phillies today was waiting for me. We piled into his car drove to his office, and he told me what it was all about That's right burglary But Phil if nothing's been taken a look it up Johnny burglary means breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony Whether that felonious purpose is accomplished or not. All right, Mr. Webster. I'll take your word for it When you've had use those definitions correctly as often as I have in connections with insurance claims well The point is Johnny that mr. And mrs. Warner's apartments been broken into some seven times now Seven times in a row over a period of about two months Warner Yeah, Charles Hastings Warner and his wife Trudy he's a No, now to come to think of it. I don't know what he is what he does for a living But if the size of his insurance policies means anything he does all right his straight life alone has a face value nearly a million That could be I suppose that he simply retired out here. He came out originally from Chicago I think I see Phil what do the police think about these bug lorries? Well, that's just it Johnny. They were never reported to the police Why not? How did you find out about them? My wife plays bridge a couple of times a week One of the group is Trudy Warner But Trudy told her she told me so I called up mrs. Warner and got the story All right now answer the first part of my question. What about the police? Mm-hmm Well, she said that as long as nothing's been missing her husband Charlie said there was no point in bothering them But it kind of has truly worried never knowing whether it's gonna happen again or when they might clean out the place Have you asked me Johnny? I think it looks kind of peculiar That's the understatement of the week, right? And I think we ought to do something about it seven times in a row you said that's right and absolutely nothing take absolutely Nothing now that is peculiar Phil very well, that's why I called you up as soon as I heard about it You know one of these days they'll find whatever it is They're looking for and we'll find ourselves faced with a hefty claim. I wonder What do you mean by that? I just wonder it's on Want to give me their address who are and you might call and tell them I'm on my way out, right? Uh, no Well on second thought Just give me their address. Oh Yeah $50 deposit on a rental car The Warner's apartment was really a single detached cottage and back up one of the better hotels Very nice very exclusive very expensive Rather than going to all the details later, let me tell you right now that was expensively furnished to Take wall-to-wall carpeting fine furniture Everything very modern but in good taste obviously the work of a high-priced decorator as Permissus truly Warner Well she was 25 or 26 tall Statue-esque and blonde with just enough makeup to enhance her natural beauty She had a rather distinguished look a quiet sort of Dignity in her bearing She wore a house coat of fine oriental silk Long-jeweled earrings with enough diamonds to choke a horse, but also in good taste a Couple of bracelets in the gold man of a watch were set in gems And I'm sure that the huge stone and one of her well-chosen rings was a genuine Ruby At first glance this all meant wealth social status a blue blood But when in response to my knock she opened the door and then opened her mouth Yeah Mrs. Warner. Yeah, that's me. Who are you, huh? My name is dollar Johnny dollar. Yeah, I've ever seen you around any ways before I doubt it Is mr. Warner at home? No, he ain't he's gone away for a couple of days But no falling around buster, so you better get back in your bicycle and Just just just a minute and I'll get your foot out of this door. You are I should scream for help or something Oh, that won't be necessary. Believe me. I'm here because I represent your husband's insurance company You do huh? Well, can you prove it? We're here? Let me show you my credentials. Oh, okay. Okay. I'll take your word for it Well, what do you want to see him about huh? Well about those burglaries you've been having all about those people busting in here going through our Stuff all the time. That's right Boy am I glad to see you Johnny. How'd you find out about it? Well? I just happened to be here in town and talking with mr. Easterday Oh, yeah, I just know I shouldn't have told that insurance guy's wife at that bridge the other day And when he called me up and made me tell him more about it But there wasn't ever anything stolen so there wasn't anything he could do about it He said only why Charlie wouldn't call a cops in I'll never know May I come in mrs. Warner, huh? Oh, yes But if Charlie finds out I mean he's not even wanting to bother the cops. Well, maybe he won't like this I don't know why not I'm glad you're gonna do something about it cuz I asked you Johnny What if I was to come in from shopping or something? I mean like in broad daylight Like like when Charlie was away like this and maybe find somebody's busted in and was still here for the gun on me or something Sit down, huh? Oh, thanks These At least burglaries have all occurred while your husband was away huh No, it's always Right after he's come home again. We've been out somewhere's at night together We do a lot of night clubbing and stuff and even sometimes go up to LA And then they always go through everything with a fine juice comb even pulling up the rugs and taking the beds apart They never steal nothing. I don't get it. I also don't like it neither. I can't say I blame you Andrew husband Well, all he says is it probably just some crazy hotbed or something like Psycho Yeah, yeah, that's it and as long as you don't take anything we should worry only I don't like it But that's his only explanation though for nothing being taken. Well, that's his only one she I don't know how he can take it. So So cool and casual, but that's the way he is Johnny just real cool and casual about everything He could fire a gun under me wouldn't even blink his eyelash anybody ever tried that firing a gun under him a Nice sweet guy like Charlie Of course now you want to drink Charlie? Johnny, that's all right. No, no, thank you. Tell me What's your husband do for a living Mrs. Warner? Only it's Trudy Johnny. No, he's being formal, huh? All right, Trudy only that's no invitation like you should get fresh or anything. You remember that You sure you don't want a little drink really don't thanks for it. Well, if you don't mind, I'm gonna have another one If you're proud of me, please just help yourself You try to tell me about your husband's business Oh, he hasn't got any business Johnny at least not since I met him out here and they go and married him. I see Do you know what he did before? Well, why should I care as long as he keeps the money coming in and treats me good like he does He is you sure Johnny just to keep me company. No, I'm sure Um, if he has money coming in, uh Where's it come from Trudy? So I'll give you the same answer. He always gives me when I asked him. Well Didn't you never hear the stock market? That's what he says Oh, I see Um, where did you say he is now? I didn't But he's gone hunting like he always does Always well almost every week lately. Oh Where do you know? Oh, sure. I know it's down near Elf country. You know where that is Somewhere down near the border. I believe yeah down there in all that farm country and the imperial Something imperial valley. Oh, yes. I uh, I understand. There's a lot of dove shooting down there in the imperial valley Yeah, doves or pigeons or whatever they are only he always calls them pigeons. Oh, yeah Little tiny things a lot of feathers only you only get a mouthful out of them. I always get Stuck I have to cook them for him, but he's always so nice to me. So why not? I'm a good cook too, Johnny You wouldn't believe it, but I am I'll bet you are Uh, tell me do you know where he stays down there?  It's a real Swell place. I've seen him myself a couple of times when him and me was on a honey moon Oh, when did he leave? Oh Early this morning that means he won't be back until the day after tomorrow Only what are you gonna do about this burglar and bit Johnny? Gee, I'm not sure you're true. Well, whatever it is. I sure hope you do Only don't mean I'm the charlie. I said anything about it. Were you honey? Well, if you won't I won't Oh, well, don't you worry about that It's not even a short one Johnny Just to keep me company Well No, I'm Just a short one More conversation but no more information of any consequence After the second short one And just to keep the company believe me I left and drove to the nearest shopping section picked up a handful of change dove into a phone booth and spent item For 80 cents on calls to all the stock brokers in town Not one of them had ever heard of mr. Charles Hastings Warner Okay Item five three ninety for a call to an old friend of mine in Chicago Pete Fuller a feature writer for the chicago sometimes Charles Hastings Warner Are you kidding john? You don't know who chicky Warner is or rather was when he was operating here in charlie And you were in the private eye business Well brother leave me poor you and earful I hope you got plenty of dimes to feed that slot machine you're talking through I can only tell you this By the time Pete Fuller got through giving me a rundown on chick Warner It suddenly began to look at so I've got myself involved in one of the most important and possibly one of the most dangerous cases in my whole career If you ever suffer a touch of arthritis or rheumatism, and you've never tried mentholatum deep heating rub You can't know how good its deep heating action can make you feel As you massage it into painful areas you feel its deep heating action You know relief is on its way Mentholatum deep heating rub is an extra strong combination of active ingredients for safe temporary relief of minor arthritic rheumatic pain Use greaseless stainless Mentholatum deep heating rub often Chick Warner do back in san diego in less than two days. I decided that I'd better act fast Act on a hunch It's all it was but for once I felt there was plenty of reason for it and not because of the circumstances the burglaries But the character of the man I now knew I'd be dealing with I spent item six in one of the local sporting goods stores for a total of $314.61 I came out with some lightweight hunting clothes a pair of bird shooter boots a good quality double barrel 12-gate shotgun And three boxes of shells loaded with number nine bird shot I also bought a hunting license I piled the stuff into my rental car and headed east on highway 80 making time now because it was getting dark A little over 100 miles later near a place called coyote wells I pulled off the road and gave the hunting clothes a little age and character by the simple expedient of driving the car over them a couple of times When I got to el centro, I took a room at the bluebird motor court Quite a place not only 20 or 30 nice modern motel carriages But a big fancy dining room with a bar attached and it was in the bar that I met mr. Charles Hastings warner It was a cold looking man of about 50 Tall nose and almost prim sort of mouth with pin lips It was late and the bar was almost empty. So it wasn't too hard to make conversation with him Well, yes, matter of fact, I am here to do some pigeon shooting. How'd you know? Oh, I didn't the mr. Uh Warner is it? Yeah I just hope to find somebody around here who could tell me where to go with some birds That took a chance on talking to you looks as though I picked the right man Oh, I can tell you where to go. All right, find lots of pigeons Aren't they really doves though? Dollar the way you can knock them off so easy. I like to think of them as pigeons Another drink for every yeah, I'll buy You bought the last four. I'm sorry. Don't worry about it Waiter a couple more days. Yes, sir if You can lead me to some good shooting. It's certainly worth a couple of drinks lead you Well, do you mind if I Kind of tag along with you tomorrow? Well, I mostly like to go alone, but Sure, sure. Good I'll make two of you Two of us Well, my name is Al Melfitt. I mean right in the bottom to Somebody that I always bring in the pigeons. He lights down to me. I'm your couple of drinks like you did So it's maybe it's good to have a couple of witnesses alone Witnesses sure to what? You know to see I don't come back with over my limit. Oh What do you think? Well, I had no idea Oh, so I don't know how good he shot the sound off. It is just met him today So you you can be along to make sure you don't blow my head up. I missed it. You're not serious dollar A man has a gun on him You never know Remember that it was long before sunrise The three of us chick warner Al Milford and I set out in Warnish car We headed south across the flat desert and farmland to and through colexico Within spitting distance to the border we turned right and then hit a narrow dusty road that wound around so much I wanted a couple of times if we weren't getting a little too close to Mexico Al Milford by the way Put me on guard 35 or so there was a kind of shiftiness about him that I didn't like I began to wonder if I'd walked myself into a trap of some kind Finally chick stopped And deployed us around a vast heavy cover of what I believe they called deer brush Oh, there must have been several acres of it and mesquite and sage that was higher than my head Al went to the north end eye to the west and warner to the south and We waited as soon as the sun came up as warner promised the bird started rising For the next 10 or 15 minutes or so. I had more action than I'd ever dreamed possible in bird shooting But I noticed two things Chick warner shooting was only one blast at a time And more important after the first big flurry there wasn't a sound from al's gun I worked my way slowly cautiously toward the spot where chick warner supposedly had his stand What I came on stopped me in my tracks Al milford lying prone he shot gun aim toward the spot where warner should have been and beside him in reach a 38 revolver As I sneaked up on him He suddenly quietly swung around and I found myself staring into the barrel of that gun Just take it easy Before you do anything silly just take a Take a look at these My credentials Catch credentials I know who you are, but you don't know who I am. So you better look You think I'll argue with you as long as Oh narcotics score, that's right.  He's been quiet quite a while now. So I think he's made his haul What? Don't you see we know how he gets the stuff across the border stuff white stuff heroin pure uncut heroin I figured as much from his record in Chicago. Sure. Now. He picks it up on these so-called hunting trips Contact just across the border. Yeah, and he always has company a witness who would swear He just came out here shooting sometimes one of our men But none of them has ever found the stuff on him Then those raids in his apartment yours. I didn't say that Johnny But stripping down strip his apartment. There's never a sign of it Yet somehow he's not only getting it but storing it then spurting the round up north And somehow I've got to find out what he does with it after he picks it up here where he hides it You'll never know that one I'd want it. No reach for that gun you get this other barrel That wasn't any burk shot at him. That was a slug. I can see that Okay Pick up that handgun it is with your left hand Toss it over here But real careful. Come on do it Let's say toss me his gun or I give you this other barrel It's a matter of you're blind They only use one shot on them. This gun's a double Can't you see that Sure.   I'll tell you and out here after birds Only one shot at a time. That's what gave you away. Do you hear me? I'll pull this trigger and let the hammer fall on the barrel full of the white stuff that it's loaded with Why bother Warner good. I'll listen I'll make a deal with you The stuff in this other barrel is worth a lot of dough You want to talk you want to make a deal sure Sorry Warner. I'm afraid the only deal I'll make with you is this All right, Ali you still with us sure Sure, Johnny, but I just caught my arm if you can Carry me back to the car. I take it easy. Take it easy. Yeah, my friend here Comes around as a reward for his cleverness. We'll let him carry you back That one shotgun barrel loaded with heroin Sure, it was only a guess but thank heaven it was the right one You know for a second there. I was afraid he might have a shell in it Expense count total including the trip on back to Hartford call it 760 even And cheap at half the price yours truly Johnny dollar How to tell you about next week's story next week one of the rottenest rackets in the world But a story with a real twist at the end Join us, won't you?

So today's webinar. I am very excited. She is one of our regular presenters and she will be with us next week for these Or not next week. She'll be with us in November for the hundredth webinar celebration It's Michelle. Hey split today. She's going to present on census micro data. She's done like I think three webinars for us on the census data and different kinds of Hi Explore that for the hundred So today is census micro data, which is definitely one that I will enjoy. I'm very excited about this. Michelle has been a data librarian for almost 20 years. She having received her early training through the census Bureau and North Carolina State Data Center. Census data is one of her specialties and she's witnessed changes over three decennial census is now She works constantly with a variety of tools to pull data from numerous census surveys and multiple formats. She is a past president of NC LA's government resources section and she's very excited to do this fifth webinar. There's this You know, I wondered why my shoulder was hurting and now I know it's because you strong arm be into this No, I actually did volunteer. So this is what I promised to talk about today. Um, the what why and where of census micro data. There are a couple things to point out here. Census data is referring to the census Bureau. It's not necessarily the decennial census micro data because a lot of the decennial census micro data is limited at this point. So there's more than just decennial census data and I'm going to spend a fair amount of time on the what and the why and Description about the where I'm not going to try to accomplish getting you out of this session, knowing exactly how to use the micro data tools. First of all, I'm not a statistician and there is a lot of statistics that's involved when you start dealing with the micro data. So don't expect that I'm going to make you an expert in one short hour. And then I hope that I will provide you with the tools that you need to learn a lot more about this on your own. So there are a lot of resources slides at the end of this presentation that I'm not even going to cover in the presentation. I'm just going to tell you that they're there. So later you can go download the slides themselves and you have will have links to all of those resources. All right. So starting off, what are micro data. So they're individual responses. When you go to data.census.gov, what you're accessing there are tables that the Census Bureau has pre made for the process of the micro data tools. Pre made for the public from the micro data. So all of those tables are based on the individual responses. But if you're looking at the individual responses directly Then you have a lot more flexibility in terms of being able to look at greater detail. So One of the first things that you need to know about the individual responses is that they are not weighted. Now I will probably reiterate this several times during the presentation. I am not a statistician. So I really can't explain in detail what the weights exactly are. But there are a good number of resources in the resource slides that will help you understand that concept better. Suffice it for now to say The micro data must be weighted for you to use them properly. And in most cases, you cannot analyze the micro data without either a special online interface or statistical software. So The Census Bureau has a tool that allows you to create tables. But if you really need to analyze the micro data, you're going to have to use Either one of the online interfaces or statistical software to do that analysis. So why would you use the micro data? Well, basically, you can get a lot more detail that can be detailed by topic because Individual variables have a lot more choices within the public use micro data than in the aggregated data. So for instance, you can get Native American population by the individual tribe. You can get single years of age and you can create custom cross tabulations that are not available in the pre-made tables. So in the pre-made tables, you could get a table that's raised by educational attainment. You could get a pre-made table that's income by race. But you could not get all three of those variables together, raised by educational attainment by income. Then moreover, the pre-made tables are limited in scope. They really address the most popular variable cross tabulations that there are. They certainly do not make available every possible cross tabulation. So if you wanted to know income by vehicles available in a household, you can't get a pre-made table that does that. You would have to make that in the micro data. And then you can change the ranges that are available using the micro data. So in a pre-made table, you can get the number of housing units valued from 300,000 to 499,999. But you can't get 350,000 to 550,000. In the micro data, you can create a custom range that will give you that information. There are a lot of caveats to the micro data. First of all, there's less geographic to tail. The geographies that are available in the micro data are called PUMAs. So the micro data for, I'm going to stick with this label for the American Community Survey. The label is public use micro data sample PUMS. So you'll hear me refer to PUMS pretty much throughout the presentation. So the geographies that are available are much larger than ordinary geographies because there's so much detail by topic. The geographies have to be larger in order to protect respondent confidentiality. So the geographies are called PUMS, public use micro data areas, and they are at least 100,000 people. There is a larger geography called a super PUMA that is at least 500,000 people, but you're not going to get anything smaller in the PUMS data than those PUMS. It is more complex to create your own tables. There is a lot that you have to know about the data itself to understand what's possible within the micro data. So if you dive into using micro data, you're going to find yourself reading the technical documentation a lot. You will see as I go along how little I know about PUMS data. And I will point this out on purpose because you need to know it takes some work to really be able to use the micro data effectively. I was kind of surprised to learn this last point that the PUMS data is actually less accurate than the regular data. And that's because, there's actually a couple reasons here. One is that the micro data is edited in order to protect confidentiality. So for instance, in the income data, there's some top coding and bottom coding that goes on so that you would not be able to identify individuals from the PUMS data. In even what is a large geography, people whose income is very high and very low might could be identified from these data because they're so detailed topic wise. So there's that kind of extra editing that goes on with the PUMS data. And then in the second place, the PUMS data is actually a smaller data set than the regular summary files. The American Community Survey PUMS data is only two thirds of the responses of the full data set. So if there are pre-made tables for what a person needs, they should use those pre-made tables specifically because they will be more accurate. The Census Bureau does provide a few different resources for understanding not only the accuracy of the file overall, but also to compare your own estimates to their estimates. This sounds sort of contradictory, but the Census Bureau actually does create estimates with the PUMS data in order that researchers can compare their own estimates to those sort of pre-made PUMS estimates to see if they're on track in terms of their estimates that they're creating with the PUMS data. There's only a few of those. They only use a few variables for those examples, but they are available within the technical documentation website. So the two ways that I'm going to talk about are the new tool that come out from the Census Bureau called MDAT or MDAT. I have heard Census people refer to it both ways. I tend to just use MDAT. So you'll hear me use that today. And then IPUMS USA. IPUMS is a project of the Minnesota Population Center at the University of Minnesota.  Their acronym is actually slightly different. It stands for Integrated Public Use Microdata Series, and IPUMS USA is specifically all of the microdata from the Census Bureau related to the Census doesn't really make sense because it also includes the American Community Survey. But those two surveys are the only ones that are included in IPUMS USA. We'll talk more about content in just a second right now. So here's a rundown of the microdata content within the Census Bureau's tool, MDAT. So it's focusing on the most recent data and just two different surveys. It doesn't even include decennial census microdata at this point. It only includes the American Community Survey, the Community Survey for Puerto Rico, and then the current population survey, which is an annual survey started after World War II to help quantify economic and work issues, economic and employment issues. You can see that the smallest geographic level for the community surveys is PUMAS, and for the CPS is state. For the basic monthly CPS it's county. Now the reason that the March supplement is limited to the state level is because the current population survey is really designed to be used at the state level. So you get into a little diciness if you try to use the CPS at the county level, but there are some data available at that level for the basic monthly data. I'm not going to go into exactly the details of the CPS because that's not what we're working on today, but we should do another help webinar on that. Not me. I don't use that data very much. Anyway, so here's some caveats about MDAT. It is still in beta, and that's important because for one thing, right now it does not include the margins of error. The margins of error are super important for any ACS data because the more detailed data you get to whether that's by topic like groups of people by race or income or whatever, but also by geography. It's the topics part that's important to us here today. So one of the race categories available in MDAT has 68 different categories for race, including all of those individual Native American tribes, including different origins for race by Hispanic origin. So there's 68 separate categories there. And then educational attainment has 25 different categories. You can look by grade how many people completed first grade through high school. And with income, of course, income is an infinite variable. So with no margins of error, if you cross tabulated those three variables, the individual categories would be tiny. The margins of error would be huge because they have to be with such sparse cells. And you wouldn't know what those margins of errors are because they're not included right now in MDAT. I don't have any indication at this point of when they might think that the beta status might end. All I hear from them at this point is we're continually adding new features. So I expect it to go on for a while. It might be as long as a year. I would tend to think if it were going out of beta soon that we would have heard a date about that. So then the last, not exactly a caveat but more of a note. The Census Bureau says that estimates created with the PUMS data will be different from the same variables in a premade table. And that's because they have a different universe. There's a smaller number of responses in the public use micro data than there are in full data set. But the Census Bureau says those differences won't be meaningful. And I think I mentioned before that the Census Bureau has calculated some estimates with the PUMS data so that researchers can compare their own estimates with those. So that's linked in the resources slides. All right, so IPUMS, and I will say I've worked with some folks at the Minnesota Population Center who work on this project and they say that's how they pronounce it is not with a long I but the short I, IPUMS. I don't know why. Anyway, there's a lot more data here. So for the ACS, they're not just going back to the start of the official ACS data in 2005. They're including all of the test data back to 2000. They include the three year data, which were only available from, what would that be 2005, 2007, from 2007 up until 2013. That's the range of when the Census Bureau was producing the three year data. Yeah, I'm not sure if they have test data before 2007, but they might. CPS goes back to 1962. So there's a lot more data here. Notice that it goes down to the county level for the March supplement data. Now, that's misleading. Again, the current population survey is designed to be used at the state level. So going to the county level is dicey to begin with. And then because this is POMS data, they are, I guess, redacting as a word suppressed is a better word. And they're suppressing a lot of those county level data to protect confidentiality. And I emailed the Ifam's project to find this out. It's a rate of actually 55%. There are only 55% of counties in the March supplement data. So it's not a reliable thing. You won't be able to get data for all counties, even though it goes back so far. All right, so the caveats for Ifam's. First of all, you're downloading the microdata records. When you're using MDAT in the data.census.gov interface, you're actually going to get an aggregated table at the end. They're not going to force you to download the microdata records, but Ifam's does force you to download the microdata records. Now think about this. I live in a small town. I don't know actually how many people live in my town, but it's at least 10,000. So right there, 10,000 records for my little town. The Puma for my area is actually my entire county. And the county includes at least one other, you know, not big city, but a city. So there are tens of thousands of people in that one Puma. So you need to be prepared for the fact that when you download data from Ifam's, it's going to be a very large file. You're not going to be able to use it most likely in something like Excel. You're not even going to be able to open it, except the first, I don't know. The record limit in Excel used to be 5,000 records. So I think it's gone up since then, but I don't think it's up to 10,000 yet. So you're going to need something else to use it in. Second, it's a blunt instrument. With the MDAT tool on the Census Bureau site, you're going to be able to select an individual Puma. In Ifam's, you can't do that. You select a specific geographic level, but then it gives you all of the geographies in that class. And when I say all the geographies, I mean the whole country. So it's not even just the state. So be prepared for that. Okay, waiting. This needs to be addressed. I am really not qualified to explain it in detail. Basically, when you're using Census data, there's two main weights. The household weight versus person weight. When you're using the MDAT tool, it automatically applies what it thinks is the appropriate weight. So if you have selected all household variables, it's going to automatically apply the household weight. If you have selected all person variables, then it's going to automatically apply the person weight. But depending on what you're doing, you might actually pull some household variables and some person variables. And you want the household variables to be weighted like people. So then it gets a little more complicated. You can change the weighting in MDAT, but you have to know that you need to do that. And you have to know which one to apply. So again, I can't really explain that. But there are a lot of resources linked in the resource slides, as I've said before, that will help you get to information about how to understand that. Now, Iphems takes a hands-off approach. They don't try to apply an appropriate weight. They just give you both the household and the person weight, and you get to decide. But again, you need to know that you need to do that, and you need to know which one's appropriate to use in your particular situation. Okay, so these are the steps in the MDAT tool to produce an aggregated table. You select the dataset and vintage when you start, then you select your variables, then your geographies, then you can view your data cart and see what you have and decide if you need anything else, if you need to make changes. Then you go to the table layout stage where you decide which variables you want to appear in the columns versus the rows, who actually construct the table so that it looks the way you want it to. And then after that, you can view the table if you want to. You can just download the table into whatever format you particularly mean. To compare to IphemsUSA, I will say here, IphemsUSA has an online analysis interface. I am not going to try to demonstrate that for you because I don't know how to use it very well, but I will show you how to create an extract which would just download the data for you. So this is a very parallel system to the MDAT steps.  Then in the variables area, you select your variables. You also select your geographic levels, but you have to know that they're there. They're listed under household. You have a choice between household and person in that interface. And then again, you can view your cart to see what's there. And when you go to create your data extract, you have to log in. Probably should have actually put this into a slide earlier. I was going to mention it earlier and I forgot. Both MDAT and Iphems are free to access. There is no cost to you regardless of who you are. If you have access to the internet, you can access these resources. The sort of catch with Iphems is that you must register. Iphems is pretty much maybe not completely supported, but probably in majority supported by grant funding. And so one of the things that they have to do for their grants is provide their grant funders with a measure of their impact. And one of the ways they do that is by collecting statistics from this registration form. So you must submit a registration form. There's something hinky about their registration form. There's a field where they want you to describe your project. And there is a 50 word minimum for your description. So if you put in something like class project, it will not allow you to submit your registration form. I have had this tip directly from Iphems staff. I don't know why they don't just change the form. But what they get all the time to get around this is you type class project, and then you type nonsense characters and spaces until you reach the 50 word minimum. That's one extra little caveat for Iphems. But you can play around with the interface. All you want until you get to the step of creating the data extract before it will prompt you to log in. I should also say I believe that their registration forms have gotten to the point that they are pretty much automatic in granting access, but depending on how many they have in the queue, it might take a few hours or a day or two for your application to be approved. So I always tell people if they're going to be using the Iphems tool, they should go ahead and register at the start in order to give time for that registration to be processed before they actually need to start downloading data. So the other thing about Iphems is it's asynchronous. So when you're using the MDAT tool, you're using it live. And as soon as you finish creating your table, you can view your table and it will load the data and bam, you're done with Iphems. What you're doing is setting up a query for their data system. When you finish your query, you submit it, but then the system prioritizes it by how much it will use in the way of resources. So if you have an enormous query covering all possible geographies across the entire country for 50 different variables, it's going to take a long time for them for the system to process that query. I ran one this morning as a test with two very small variables for one geography, one geographic level, and it took less than half an hour for the system to process it. But you can't count on that if you're using, if you're pulling a lot of data at once. So once it finishes the query, Iphems will email you with a link to download the data, and then you'll be able to download the files. Remember, they're very large, so they're going to be zipped. And then you can analyze the data and statistical software. Of course, if you're using the online analysis system, you don't have to download it. You can select your variables and the kind of statistical test you want to do and just analyze it right there in their interface. Alright, so there are at least three instructional videos in the resources slides that give much more detail about respectively Iphems USA, the MDAT tool from the Census Bureau, and using the Iphems online analysis tool. If you have users or if you yourself want to get into using microdata, I strongly encourage you to watch those videos directly and then dig into the technical documentation. You're really going to need to do that to be able to use these tools. Alright, we're up to the demos. It is 1234, and I am going to try to exit my slides. Notice that my last slide there is the question slide. I encourage people to cite the data, all these tools offer example citations, and then we get into the resources slides. So I'm not going to revisit those, but I just want to remind you that they're there. Okay, now I'm going to move over. Oh, I don't, I haven't mentioned this yet, but this is another thing that's linked in the resources slides. Tiger Web mapping application is a tool from the Census Bureau that lets you look at geographies. So if you, I don't know how well you can see this, I'm probably not going to be able to zoom this very much. Okay, so maybe now you can just barely see that I have selected the PUMAS to show up on this map. It hasn't actually loaded the boundaries. I'm not sure why that is, it should be showing up the Puma boundaries in this blue outline. But having done this earlier, I just happened to know that Orange County is its own Puma, and that's where I'm located. So that's what I'm using right now. When we do these examples. That resource again Tiger Web mapping application is linked in the resource slides so that you can easily look up different PUMAS that apply to a given geographic area. All right, so here we are in data.census.gov. If you scroll all the way to the bottom. Yeah, all the way to the bottom. Here's micro data. So you can click here to go into MDAT, where you can just add MDAT on to the end of your URL. You don't even have to put in the pound sign, you can just use MDAT and it will get you here. So here we're going to choose our data set. I'm going to use the five year PUMAS data. I'm going to leave it with the most recent vintage the 2019 data will be coming out at the end of the year. When I go to next. Notice that this says search is not enabled in beta version. So this is another feature that's going to be activated sometime. We don't really know when I'm going to select grandparents living with grandchildren. And I'm going to select veteran period of service. These two variables just happen to be on this opening page, but you can at least choose a general topic area. If you know that you want to look at mortgage costs, you could switch to that area. Selecting a topic up here does not mean that you select the variables. So if I go to mortgage costs, notice that my data cart says I have two variables selected. And I could choose more things here, but if I X out of this topic. It doesn't affect the variables that I've already chosen. Now I'm going to select my geographies. I want to use the smallest one available which is PUMAS. Then it's just a drill down process like we're familiar with from other census tools, North Carolina. It does use the labels here rather than the identification numbers, which is helpful. But you still kind of need to know which PUMAS covers the particular area that you're interested in. I can't remember. Here it is Orange County Chapel Hill town is the particular PUMAS that I am interested in. You were participating in my webinar earlier this year about and not end that but data.census.gov. You may remember that sometimes data.census.gov will look like it's allowing you to select something in a window like this, but if it doesn't show up down here in your selections it hasn't actually selected it. So I recommend that you check for your selections to be sure that they're showing up down here before you are assuming that you have them and you don't. So now I'm going to go on to my data cart to take a look at what I've got. I didn't point this out in the selected variables window, but if you don't know how a particular variable is constructed, this number of values column will tell you how many categories show up in that particular variable. So if you're looking at something like Hispanic origin or race, these numbers can get pretty large and there will be several variables that have very similar names, but different numbers of categories. So that's one thing. And then if you look at the details, it will show you what those particular categories are. So in this case, grandparents living with grandchildren is a very simple variable. Yes or no, and not applicable. Either the person was less than 30 years old, so is unlikely to be a grandparent, or they're living in an institutional group quarters situation like a military barracks or nursing home. And folks in group quarters are counted through the administrative records of whatever that group quarters is so they don't get really detailed counts that they mostly get how many people are in that group quarters, they don't get all the juicy details. And then for veteran period of service. So this is broken out by category. Gulf War earlier on like Gulf War one versus Gulf War two Vietnam era, Korean era, World War two, and so on. So now if I go back to my data cart, you see these reiterated here and you can see, you know, switch back and forth between the two to see in table layout. It has a listing for the columns here and for the rows here. And notice that both of our variables have been plugged into the columns. That's not going to make for a very good table right. So you're just going to click and drag one to the rose. Didn't work. There we go. So now I have veteran period of service and columns and the, the other one that I chose grandparents living with children in the rose. Actually, I don't like that very much. I'm going to try to swap them. I have them both not in table. That's not helpful. Veteran period of service I want in the rose and grandparents living with children in the columns. So there's a variety of things that you can do here. I have to remember how to do this. If we wanted to make the entire table about grandparents living with children, we could move grandparents living with children to not in table. And basically what that does is it makes the entire table about these things. We still have three of three responses in here, and this would be a better table. If we took out the no not living with grandchildren and the not applicable. We would want the table just to be grandparents living with grandchildren. Yes. So, honestly, I am completely forgetting how to do that, but there is a way to do that. For the moment, I'm going to move it back up to columns. So just to let you know that you can move these variables all around. However, you need the table to be constructed. So if you move both variables in the columns, it would just nest one within the other. And so you would get iterations of say you had the veteran period of service first. For each period of service, there would be, are they living with grandparents? Yes, are they living with grandparents? No. So you would still have all of the information there would just be organized differently. At this point, we do have some values in here. But basically the question marks are because all you're looking at here is the shell of the table, how the table is constructed. You haven't actually loaded data here yet. I think it's showing you zeros because it's easy to show zeros. It doesn't require a lot of resources to load zeros. And it might make a difference as you're creating the table to know that there were so many cells that had zeros. But if you click on view table, then it will load the actual values into this. And so you'll be able to see the actual values. And then at that point, here's your weighting. It's given it a person weight, which is appropriate for what I was interested in here. If you wanted to change the year that you were looking at, you could do that here. That's a really nice enhancement over the previous system data ferret. If you remember data ferret. Yeah, we shutter to remember data ferret. And you would be able to download the data here in CSV file or a JSON file. If you were doing some coding, you might want that from that. All right, now I'm going to switch to Iphems very quickly to show you how this works. Notice that if you wanted to get to the current population survey, you would need to use a different interface in Iphems versus Iphems USA, which has the decennial census and the American Community Survey Microdata. I'm going to use Iphems USA for the demo. You always come to this interface when you enter it. Again, you don't actually have to log in until you submit your query, although you could go ahead and log in here. When you click on get data, you go into the extract interface. So remember I said that your first step is to select your samples here. And this is both the survey and the year. So, all of the decennial data is makes up the majority of the historical pums data. But when you're here in 2010, this 10% that's talking about the decennial census. So that's all there to buy default, it selects the default sample from each year. Notice with the ACS data, that's the one year data. And the five year data is always going to be more accurate because it has a larger sample size, five year versus one year. So I always just deselect the default and go with the five year data. For this example, I'm just going to use one year, the 2018. So you can return to this interface to select your variables, and you have four ways to select it you can do household versus person, if you happen to know kind of what category, the particular variables in. You can go a to Z. So if you wanted to get grandparents you would go to G, or you can search for a particular variable. I actually am going to go to G. One grandchildren living in household. And then the other one that we used was veteran status. I know that's going to be in person so I'm going to go here to veteran status. Now, notice that this setup is quite different from MDAT. You can't choose just one variable to get period of service you essentially have to choose all individual categories. They're not entirely intuitive, and they overlap. So veteran served 2001 or later. Veteran served 1990 to 2001. And then there's also veteran served during Vietnam era versus Korean conflict. So, I like that bit about overlapping, but you still have a harder task here to understand these. You can click on a title of a variable and get lots of explanation. So here's the questionnaire text. You'd have to choose, you know which year. Oh, not available. Yes. It'll tell you the universe. It'll tell you comparability across time. It'll give you a base description of what actually is included there. In this case, I'm going to go ahead and add this to the cart. And I'm going to go ahead and view my cart in the interest of time. So here you can see what you've selected. As I mentioned, here's the household weight. And down here is the person weight. These are all things that Ipams includes as a matter of course, but then down at the bottom. You see veteran served 1990 to 2001 and own grandchildren living in household. So those are the ones that I personally selected. So to create my data extract. There's quite a few options here, more advanced options than what are available in MDAT. So I encourage you to explore those on your own, but I will put in description here because when you get to the extract listing all the extracts that you've ever submitted, you can't clear those out. You can build up over time and it's helpful to remember with the description what it was that you were doing with a particular extract. Then when I click submit extract, it will prompt me to log in password. Don't save. And now I go back to submit the actual extract. This is my data page. If I went to my data from the header, you would always get to this page listing all of your previous queries. And this one that says download dot DAT is the query that I submitted earlier this morning that only took a half hour to be processed. And you can see that that one I had named vet grams and now we're doing grand vet. You can, although you can't delete old queries you can hide them if you want to. So I'm going to stop there I know we have very little time left but I'm happy to answer questions and I can stick around for a while if you'd like to stay and ask questions. Thank you very much Michelle. Definitely tools I use a lot, especially if we've been using it quite a bit. See if you could put, if there are any questions feel free to use the chat. There might have been a couple. I see Jeremy's note that Excel now allows about a million rows. So maybe you could open some of those in there. You could open it but do you want to. I have a question all together. Yeah, I guess one of the things that we were wondering is that there are as winners. If you had resource recommendations beyond the things that are in items for you mentioned some resource recommendations on your slides but places that people could go to learn more. Yeah, so I will go ahead and share my presentation again. Let me just point out what's here. So these are resources from the Census Bureau that are helpful for the material that's in MDAT at this point. The step by step guide is just a PDF file of the different steps that you go through in MDAT. What you can talk through is super helpful and gives you important information when you choose a continuous variable like income that could go anywhere from zero to infinity. You know, not quite infinity income but anyway, you must define custom ranges in order to use a variable like that. And they use income as one of their examples there. So that's a really helpful thing to look at. And then the handbook is also a new resource since the spring I think they put it out in April. So much more detailed discussion of the accuracy of the data in the handbook. Then as I said, technical documentation. As I was preparing for the webinar there were a whole bunch of circumstances in which I found a variable that I thought I wanted to use and then I was like, I really don't understand the categories for that variable. And I don't think I'm going to take the time to explore those variables in that detail. So just be aware that you will need to refer to the technical documentation, either for the microdata, the decennial and ACS pumps and the current population survey separately. I'm pretty sure this pumps specifically links to the ACS pumps and not the decennial poems. Then there are special resources for geography, both the tire web mapping app and the static reference maps. For IPMS, there are these two resources for IPMS broadly, whether you're dealing with IPMS USA or CPS, you'll need to know how to create an account and once you create an account for one IPMS tool, it applies to all of their tools so you won't have to repeat that. And then, although the blog explanation about waiting is super simplified, it does link to other resources that may be helpful. IPMS USA specific helpful resources and then CPS helpful resources separately. Great. Thank you so much. My cat is sitting on my keyboard. The wonders of virtual life. All right, well thank you so much.


Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebrakes.com coming at you with 2023 Bowman baseball jumbo edition pick your team number 13 Think by now everyone knows that all cards ship except for paper veterans and paper non firsts Everything else ships big.

What's what's that? Jeremy's currently serving it as head coach For your son's first grade pitch team. Nice. You're the diamond backs was randomly assigned now You cannot ignore the baseball gods And good luck I'm back for a pretty nice team here. You know, there's a certain player On the diamond backs that if we pulled could be a Could be part of your Son's college fun. It'd be nice. Oh firefighting. It'd be nice a lot of hard work Firefighting so a lot of hard work all the wildfires that we have in California Definitely a lot of appreciation for a fire Oh, you're a lifelong brave fan. Nice was sad to see drew end up elsewhere. Yeah, it would have been It would have been fitting if we saw him in Atlanta All right, let's give it. Let's give this a whirl box number one Settle in folks. This is gonna take a minute or two. It's gonna take some time But for those of you so that ships that paper ships this paper won't ship That won't ship rookie cards will ship obviously Now there are also is paper of Some pro obviously blue paper Julio is definitely gonna ship That's to 150 That's gonna go to mark in Seattle So obviously Bowman firsts will ship But there are some non Bowman first that are still like prospects Like I guess like Colton Cowser for example and that won't ship But all chrome will ship Breeze through the rest here Obviously all inserts ship and that's alfre liquid ship. That's gold nine out of 50 nice Sights on September. Yeah, it could be a September call up. We'll get a cup of coffee That's Hovans with the brew crew. There's Roman Anthony to 250 purple paper For Boston that's gonna be for Josh Yoast possible rookie of the year candidate right here Along with along with Corbin Carroll. I'll be an interesting race to watch There's Drew Jones So good all of these drew Jones. Hopefully first of many Jeremy There's Drew Jones there Edward Julian another prospect to keep an eye on that's gonna go to Stephen Carney and the twins and I'm just showing my Dodger's bias here by Sleeving that James Outman for for mark Well, our team will get that top-loaded for you. We've got that Justin Henry Malloy 44 out of 125 Aqua Lunar for the ATL that'll go to Jason. Where's our otter? We should have three per box here You better all be here awesome Crawford one of those guys that we're looking for Spencer Jones another one of those guys that we're looking for here I didn't skip any autos did I was Jason Curio to 499 I think this box doesn't have autographs folks. That's crazy. I don't think I've ever seen that Happen usually sometimes there's two gotta have at least one wild All right, um That sucks How much are these jumbo boxes? How much are we charging for these jumbo boxes? all right, well If the whole case is like this that's gonna be a problem Let's see what happens in this box right here It's been reported on other places some sort of error All right. Well if this box if the next box is the same thing Well, I'll get a different case I'll start over Johnny's right. We should have had an autograph by now. Well. Well, there is an autograph That's gonna be Spencer Jones for the Yankees That's for Orin and the Yankees So maybe it was just that one box You're seeing each case averages three total autos out of the case with the issues Well, hopefully this case will be different The entire case will only have three total autos So it's just this one that's gonna be it. Come on tops another case You get two bonus boxes enough of a sample size for me Or and you'll still get this don't worry. All right, let's try this one What a hassle It's something about the stickers on the box too These stickers are the same No, they're they're all the same. They all have the same fgc 0056 5067 Codes on there. All right. Well A fresh new case ladies and gentlemen Screw we'll ship those other two boxes too No, all the stickers look the same I mean, this is we've done this is picker team 13. We've done 12 jumbo cases Plus a random player case And then another case we've probably done 15 cases and i'm and instagram has done Probably dozens of cases too That's the first time we run into this issue. I don't know those guys All right, here's young carl stan to 150 And a much better start here. We've got manuel bel tray Blue jays for neil lbc for real in the twitch stream. What's going on? Sorry. I just noticed your your chat starting to deal with No auto issue in this in that last case got a kyleel watson to 299 speckle For the fish that's going to be for scott and the marlins. Come on lakers wake up when we got We got diane horre autograph for josh and the rockies There's our first two autographs michael arroyo purple chrome to 250 Yeah, this is much more promising johnny. Thanks for Thanks for keeping me, uh Letting me know about that issue I was like that can't be Although I mean there's no reason for johnny to lie to me, but I was like that can't be that's we gotta have everything in here Apparently that's the case. Well, we'll we'll figure it out but But you guys are all sorted. We've got a fresh case going here. We got nikau poko grego purple paper to 250 for the fillies that's going to be for neil and we've got We got juan alonzo. That's going to go to The Dodgers mark of the Dodgers Now, hey, I appreciate the heads up Johnny, thank you. Yeah, I didn't want to go through I mean I suppose If I went through like half the case that would have been like, all right, I'm gonna stop I guess I really just stopped but No, the glad we caught it early all right Three autos in box one from a fresh case box three total This seems like Give those other boxes to jason Now I think we're gonna send them back. I don't want to run the risk of having The rest of those boxes not have autos either People on the personal break side would be very happy with that next box. Good luck We got a whole young atomic to 150 That will be for mark and seattle And we got a dean jor- uh, Jorge that is to 399 green paper For the Rockies that'll be for josh, and we've got a daemon keith Autograph for the Dodgers that'll be for mark Spencer jones chrome it'll be for oren and the yankees And we've got a wilmer abray 12 out of 50 gold shimmer autograph For will and houston. We got james wood. He's a candy 399 lava for will and the nationals Save these justin crawfords too. That's going to go to neil and the fillies all the uh Edward julians will go to steven and the twins All the camcaller is going to go to jackie and the reds Freddy house to 499 refractor for the nationals That's for it's for will and men will bell tray speckle autograph For the blue birds that's going to be for neil and toronto and another three autos Another box. I only got my lakers game at halftime. They're only down three This third quarter is going to be important because Warriors tend to they tend to You know, they tend to win third quarters real big Whereas the lakers tend to fall asleep Coming out of the half Maybe I don't know what happened. I don't know why that happened. Maybe they're drinking maybe they're drinking warm milk Instead of a hot coffee or something like that In baseball, what's happening here?  Apparently they've played at eight runs in the sixth Yankees beat the a's seven to two Adigio may who two run blast extending the Yankees lead pirates shut out the rock He's two nothing on a Rodolfo Castro to run shot at the seventh Ray shot out the Orioles three nothing Tigers beat the Guardian six two and then we've got four games in progress, which we'll check in on In the next box. All right in this box. Good luck everybody and I don't know will On paper I've said I think you you've been with us for years I haven't I've been saying this for years. Well, I was like man every year on paper I feel like that looks like such a good team guys like him You know solid pitching staff. They got geolito lance lin you know It's blah blah blah et cetera et cetera et cetera And every year I feel like they're they're well under Whatever wind total vegas puts on them or injuries get in the way. I guess injuries is really kind of a thing It's just nothing's really Just hasn't really come together Don't know what's happened. There's a frimy de leon that magenta lunar to 199 Shaw shows with the red sox and we got yadiel sanchez bowman first autograph for the halos. That's for will Drew jones And spencer jones Yeah Well the cardinals I feel like I feel like I'll put the It's still early tag on them I feel like they've got that. Yeah, that team's just way way too talented to To be this bad for this long There's moises bayesteros For the cubs that'll be for jason parker I mean, what's the cardinals winning percentage now like speaking the cardinals josh ovayas green grass 99 Is it like 38? 38 percent 40 percent win percentage for the cardinals now if it's like the end of It's like the end of june and they're still at still That a 40 winning percentage something like that then Then I'll be surprised But we were talking about this yesterday. I feel like I feel like kind of hitting panic buttons though like You know, we're like, oh, we got to move wilson conchers somewhere else on the diamond. We got to do I'm gonna do that There's adley rushman to 125 nice rookie card for the o's Aaron Yeah, jordan walker was doing fine and then they sent him they sent him back to the miners, which I thought was kind of weird he wasn't doing Awesome, but he wasn't doing bad. I think he was sitting like 270 280 there's that gell-off to 399 for wil and the a's you know like enough to Keep the kid up for a little bit longer And let him get his get his feet wet get comfortable with the season etc. etc What are they gonna do and they keep shuttling him back and forth at this point? Does he have any more to prove in the miners? Probably not I feel like there's some panicky sort of moves happening in st. Louis Third auto is joe stort 206 to 499 That is will with the angels. All right next box Give them second chances Bring those rebounds down guys. Let's go wake up Yeah, we're a little bit of a weird year so far still We're just we're just we're on may 8th. We only have about a month of season in our belts We got five more months to go The beauty of baseball is that eventually things will You know unless some players are having career bad years and some players are having career good years Things should uh Things should regress back to the mean I wonder if the rule chains are shaking things that I think remains to be seen as well But yeah, I also love love the games being Being over pretty quickly I've yet to go to a game this season though, so I don't know how that feels On a game day kind of level But you know back in the day games used to be fairly quick You know and I think we'll be able to figure it out, right? I think advertisers have to love it for tv right because people There's more of an active audience You know you start losing people if that game's like You know if that game stretches to Three hours three and a half hours four hours Some of those Yankees red sox games regular season games Would be like four hour games four and a half hour games Yeah, that's what i'm thinking too scott things things will eventually even out You know people's people saw the pirates hot start and they're like, oh my god pirates look at that When will they stop winning? You know then they go on a seven game losing streak and everyone's like oh, there are the pirates see and it's like Yeah, well that's baseball. I got it. You got to give it give it a little time to marinate It's like getting a scratcher and you Hit the first couple numbers You know and then then you get to start you get excited about it And it ends up being a worthless scratcher I don't know if that's a good there you go. Austin Reeves with the three. That's the Austin Reeves we need Oh akunya yeah, that'd be Wouldn't that be great for the hobby? Well, not only for the braves and the fans and I like Ronald Akunya Jr. But it's good for the hobby too He ends up with a 40 50 season I've been hearing at least on the here on the west coast will I'm kind of hearing that That's a good sign for akunya if he's starting to steal bases you know the That means he's feeling healthy the team believes he's healthy They're letting him run You know like I think there's there's like no restrictions right no leash no restrictions They're just like go go eat Ronald Akunya Jr. Go go eat home runs Go steal some bases Get after it We got michelle desin 101 out of 250 purple ray wave For erin and the o's There he is This guy might be our best chance To see This guy might be your best chance to see a potential 50 50 season Could Ronald Akunya do 50 50 that would be crazy Here's leover piguero 325 out of 499 rookie auto for the pirates. It's going to go to will and the buckles There's young carlo stan, and then here is Jorge Ruiz 335 out of 250 purple chrome autograph For will and the ancients Wonder if trout will get the green light to run again Yeah, I think I think the latter scott. I think he's just passed that point in his career I mean when's the last time he played close to a full 162 Which is kind of crazy seeing what his counting stats are what his numbers are With all the injuries he's had there's louise garcia 147 to 199 Toronto that'll be for neil Henry davis former number one overall picked 499 140 in 2018 159 in 2016 those are the last times he got close to the full season There he is. Is he closer to moving to right field? I mean, maybe that's a good idea I guess maybe when uh Maybe when otani leaves the angels in free agency might try to move to dh Permanently and there's Manuel Beltre Toronto that'll be for neil Those are our three autos All right halfway through this case Let me get another Get another container actually because we might we had those extra boxes Right. Yeah, I mean he's yeah, you're right scott. He still is an above average fielder I mean just a good fielder Maybe even a great fielder, but You know, you just have to eliminate Limit injury possibility as much as possible Injury possibility says as much as possible the mouthful Yeah, that's that's around here in southern california. That's a big top of the conversation Listen a lot we You know There's some angel fans around town And I think all of them At least from anecdotally All of them are not happy that already morino is not not selling that is not selling the team anymore Because when they first announced he was exploring selling the team sub-gate They uh, I think a lot of people are like finally You know, but some of the bigger mistakes Personnel wise has been under already morino's reign and you know, there's been some You know that that that player death issue Is that still under is that still under litigation? And anyway, I think that's under his watch as well You know, it's just he's I think he was good to take the angels from this level to the next couple tiers up but But I think uh, I think he he just needs to You know, he needs to uh Kind of figure that out There's also Trying to think i'm just looking up this article here It's an interesting article On the on the athletic But I think like nowadays the angels don't even have like a spanish language radio broadcast or something crazy like that Of the three major league teams in southern california. It's coordinated athletic The angels are the only team without a full-time spanish language broadcast Guess how many spanish speakers are in southern california ladies and gentlemen So which is crazy just like the He's sort of team outreach Fan outreach isn't happening. They're busy trying to compete with With you know, they're changed their name to los angeles angels when they're in orange county and in anaheim So they're they're trying to compete with the dodgers when they should just be Just killing it in their own backyard, but they're not So sort of sort of a shame It is a shame Will's saying trout in these 142 owners to get to 500 You think it's in doubt Hopefully they'll push him to the dh Sooner rather than later If they know it's good for them Yeah, well exactly well So he he goes to the trouble of rebranding the team Los angeles angels to increase the valley doesn't end up selling the team when he was going to I mean And then I'm not following it too close. Here's matt olson to 4.99 not falling too closely But I think there's like There's some land issues that are in play there that he wants to develop into something, but the city won't or Some classic Anaheim city council corruption, you know is happening and All sorts of drama there or he's not playing well with the city council. So they'll probably never get anything done there There's william burgola to 125 there's also There's also just talk about How he's just kind of cheap You know with all the money he has um Things I think I heard somewhere I think maybe on sports talk radio or something like that One of the beat writers for the Dodgers. Maybe we're saying Listen, here's an example Right the Dodgers front office Like just the staffers in the front office assistance stats guys and girls and team members and all that sort of stuff Assistance analysts video people et cetera et cetera et cetera Assistance secretary, you know all the support people that are there Double the size of the angel's front office There's ben brown to 299 So if you don't have that front office infrastructure You know, how are you going to make good draft picks or you know How are you going to hire good scouts? Are you going to find good managers to manage these scouts and Get all the best information during the draft et cetera et cetera et cetera So that that's an issue too with the angels and meanwhile you have Two of the most marketable players in baseball sitting on that team and mike trout and shohei otani And now what I think that was the a's that was That was popularized. I think both in the book and the movie moneyball I want to be surprised if the angels did that too. There's hori ruiz Or at least in like the minor leagues We'll screw their minor league players We'll give anthony rendone and josh allenton a boatload of money And then poor hori ruiz you know riding on a on a Half operating bus having to pay for his own uh His own sodas or gatorades out of the machine pretty sure was in the book Unless it was the movie that I don't know. No one seemed to dispute it I haven't read that book in a while. I got to reread that And how about how about the a's? That ownership is pretty terrible too las vegas raiders owner my raiders right Talked of recently made a statement. I think maybe prompted or unprompted Maybe he was just asked about his comments about what he thought about oakland following his team to to vegas And here's brooks lead nice 105 out of 150 Blue lunar twins steven carney Yeah, their eighth overall pick Back in uh 2022 But mark raiders owner mark davis was like Man the a's are the ones that screwed us I think they did something where they where they locked in here's patin grand to 499 They they locked in extra years of lease on that stadium So they weren't able to jointly create a new stadium Basically, I think that's what it was someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the gist of it was They signed a lease Then they wanted the designation as oakland's team or something stupid like that something marketing bs Ultimately the a's and the raiders were supposed to try to work together with the city to create a big sports facility there And the a's kind of railroaded them on that raiders couldn't really move on anything You know and they and then they went to las vegas And then the a's for years after that still dragged their feet On stadium stuff and everything they wanted a bunch of public money blah blah blah blah here's yasser mercedes to 50 gold paper And then they end up making their way out there Yeah, watch the video of the a stadium the place is terrible. Yeah rotting wood broken seats apparently You know all the raider former raiders players like the bowels of the stadium were terrible. There were toilet leaks all over the place, you know So there was a lot of talk about that You know, obviously A's weren't really ponying up any money for renovations or anything like that I mean it was an old stadium 10 years ago, you know and poor fans You know, I I think the the narrative was the it was the fans weren't supporting the a's The fans were like no, we're here The the ownership has has done crap for us They actually I thought this was a great idea They they attempted a reverse boycott You know where they're like listen, let's go to games Let's let's show people. Hey the fans are here. It's the ownership So I think they would do like a certain games were You know where they do like a revert they fans would plan on like a reverse boycott and they'd all go to a game and there'd be like 25 30,000 people there on a weeknight And they're like, yeah, see we're here Yeah, you'd have to be a hardcore baseball fan, right? Well, it would be cool to go to a game They're only 1500 people on hand players could probably be like going to minor league game or a spring training game But yeah, you'd have to be really hardcore To go to to go to an a's game. I think you're running. I should have enough space for two more bucks in my trash can here uh, let's see Let's check in on the games that are that are active here I think we already looked at all these other scores, right? in the bottom of the eighth Nationals are leading the Giants five nothing Middle of the ninth going to the bottom of the ninth mirrors down a run so they're let down to their last few outs Diamondbacks leading the marlins five one top of the eighth Astros angels tied top of the fourth at four piece and we got Ronnie simon That'll be for the rays.

Another question I'm asked frequently is what does family, what does my family have anything to do with the stuff that I'm going on? Or do we need to bring my family into this therapeutic session, or healing session, or whatever? And the answer is no, not necessarily. We don't always have to bring in family, but oftentimes, if you're the one asking the question, likely the family is involved. And the family is an interesting thing because it's not something as an entity, as a way of being that we choose consciously to come into. These things are sort of part of our fate and destiny as the family that we were born into, the situation, whether it be an adopted family or your birth family, it really doesn't matter. All of these things have a story and sort of a webbing to be able to unfurl that gives us truth about how it is that you're operating in the world. So, and the other reality about family is, is that we parent the way we wish we were parented, but we parent the way we were actually parented when we're under stress. So that includes also how we parent ourselves. And that opportunity to be able to look at those patterns and realize that our value systems, our stress patterns, all of the above come from our early childhood. So there's an opportunity with being able to see how it is that we operate within the world in that way. And if we pull back and we're able to have a new lens on these perspectives, we actually gain an empowerment with conscious choice. Sometimes I hear from people, I had a great childhood, why am I in turmoil? Or I had a great childhood, why do I need therapy? Those questions can kind of go alongside each other. And the reality is, is that we're all in earth school and we all are having to deal with life's problems. And Buddha said, cheekily, in a very cheeky way, Buddha offered great wisdom saying, I can't help you with your 83 other human problems, but I can help you with the 84th. And that is to be self-compassionate and love yourself and know that there's gonna be problems in the world and things that we need to deal with. And it's okay, you can still be kind and love yourself on the journey. And just expect that there's going to be things that come up. So now getting the tools that you need in order to be able to handle those situations when you just simply adopt that attitude can be very, very helpful. So why am I in turmoil if you've had a perfect childhood? It's a good question and it has to do with that. It has to do with the fact that we all have life lessons to learn. Some people are here learning more about relationships, whether it be business relationships or love relationships or all kinds of relationships. And some people are here learning about how does money work? Some people are here, how does their physical body work? They're just riddled with ailments and things that are going on. So we all have our different lots in life that we're dealing with. And to be able to do it with the most, a plum that we can of skill to be able to move through is really such a gift. And that's what I'm also here to help you with.
