    Hi Mike, thanks for pointing this out. The code is indeed correct in the book. Unfortunately, the original screen capture from the book in this post tweaked the formatting that appeared in the gray box. I have reposted a screen capture that retains the correct formatting. Thanks again.

    "MEAN HR" should be "MEAN_HR" ... is it really like that in the book?
