The students in my Sport Management class are reading Moneyball. One of the points made in the book is that attendance is more strongly correlated with wins than with payroll. I created the motion chart below to illustrate these relationships. But it looks as though things might have changed over the last 10 years or so. The correlation between wins and attendance is less than the correlation between payroll and attendance. Probably a variety of explanations. And, yes, I know I need to use regression with a bunch of control variables. But, hey, I'm learning Google Motion Charts, so give me a break. Change the horizontal axis to "Time" and change color to "Unique colors" and it makes more sense.

New MBTI Types
The web is buzzing with news of the changes in the Zodiac signs. But the gravitational pull of the moon has produced another change as well. "Changes in the astrological signs will be accompanied by similar changes in personality and people's MBTI codes", says Buzz Flewhart, PPD. The world's most popular measure of personality, the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, assigns people to one of 16 types. And just as a 13th astrological sign has been added, a 17th MBTI type has been added: PENG. "PENG is the label for people who act like penguins," says Flewhart. "It may take a few months for these changes to really show up. If people do not observe changes in their personalities by April 1, 2011, they should see their doctor, therapist, shaman, or state representative."
