Jeter to retire in 2014
The baseball world mourns.

I watch very little baseball these days, though it was my first sports love and I still geek out over the numbers and analysis. This means I will miss out on the love-fest that will be visited upon Derek Jeter as he makes his ostensible farewell tour through the baseball universe this year. This is a good thing, as I expect baseball announcers to go overboard in polishing Jeter's knob, much in the same way that the writers did in the amusing story in the link.

It might be worth a read even if you're not a baseball fan, because it's not really about baseball.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould
