The midwest and northeast parts of the USA had a disastrous winter, due to the effects of the polar vortex. Some would have you believe the abnormal polar vortex patterns are due to global warming. Some would have you believe it is due to fracking, or Putin, or cell phone radiation.
But I have the real story.
I stumbled upon the cause by accident. I was thinking about how this was a prolonged, dreary winter. One might even say it is like it is always winter but never Christmas. Which means that the polar vortex is being caused by
Jadis
That’s right – the White Witch of Narnia fame.
She has somehow travelled between worlds and ended up in ours again. She setup her reign in the arctic north and is gradually expanding her kingdom.
That’s my theory anyway. It might need a little more research.
If that doesn’t pan out though, the other option is that the polar vortex is a massive publicity stunt for Disney’s Frozen.
As if that needs any more publicity …
He casts forth His ice as fragments;
Who can stand before His cold?
Psalm 147:17

Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe to stumble, it would be better for him if, with a heavy millstone hung around his neck, he had been cast into the sea.

The last time I added a method of predicting the winners of NFL games, it wasn’t all that impressive. That was YPP, and it was not an improvement over MPW.
MPW has been the leading indicator for the last few years, better than any other automated, statistics-based predictors.
But now MPW is pushed to second place, because MPWHFA has taken the lead.
I added MPWHFA (and its results) to the list of NFL game-predicting methods.
It wasn’t just slightly better than the old leader – it averaged a full percentage point better.
Of course, that’s not entirely fair to MPW. HFA stands for “Home-Field Advantage”, and MPWHFA is really just an improved version of MPW. Take MPW, add a few points to the home team, and see which team has the larger number. That team should be the winner.
Next step: predicting not just the winner, but also the point spread. MPWHFA does that too (and at around a 60% success rate, I might add). MPW and MPWHFA are based on net points. That should be all you need to know to figure out point-spread predictions.
Enjoy!
As for every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king consulted them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and conjurers who were in all his realm.

It’s March, the start of the spring quarter. Time for me to update the theme on this blog. This one was inspired by … well, if you don’t already know then it won’t matter if I do tell you.
As is usual, it’s not much of a new theme – all I did was replace the images.
Anyway, here’s a slightly new look.
The Lord appeared to him from afar, saying,
“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
Therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness.”
Jeremiah 31:3
