The Puck Stops Here
How Is Brendan Morrison Doing?

One sabermetric issue that I am watching this season is how well is Brendan Morrison of the Calgary Flames doing. Brendan Morrison is a test case on the Corsi theory. The idea behind Corsi theory is that counting attempted shots both for and against is a very strong gage of puck possession. This is more useful that looking at goals scored based analysis because goals are strongly dependent upon shooting percentages and saves percentages of all the twelve players on the ice. This is something individual players have little control over in general. I have written about this here.
David Johnson of the Hockey Analysis website is a proponent of the contrary position. He has chosen Brendan Morrison of the Calgary Flames as a test case to make his argument. Before this season, Morrison looked good by Johnson's goals based analysis and looked like a poor signing by conventional Corsi analysis.
Morrison is the kind of case that will have to be chosen to attempt to support Johnson's method. Morrison is a player who has had a high PDO. This is the sum of the shooting percentage and saves percentage while a player is on the ice at even strength. This number by definition will have an average value of one for any player in the NHL. In general, players who have PDO values well above 1 have been lucky and players with PDO values well below 1 have been unlucky. This luck does not last. Johnson is forced to pick players who have been lucky in the past in order to find candidates to show how his system is better than Corsi. Morrison is an example of this.
So how is Brendan Morrison doing so far this year?
Morrison has suffered some injury problems and has only played in 26 games so far this season. He is currently out with an upper body injury. During the games Morrison has played, he has four goals and seven assists for 11 points. This isn't particularly impressive. Morrison, who is a UFA this summer, looks likely to retire as no team is likely to offer him a new deal. This is the player David Johnson chose to be the example of how his system beats the conventional Corsi analysis. It is an example of how his system has failed. Corsi is far superior to the goal based analysis. Brendan Morrison is a good example to show this point.

The idea behind Corsi theory is that counting attempted shots both for and against is a very strong gage of puck possession.
I have never disagreed with that.
This is more useful that looking at goals scored based analysis because goals are strongly dependent upon shooting percentages and saves percentages of all the twelve players on the ice.
Corsi is based on the puck possession ability of all 12 players on the ice.
This is something individual players have little control over in general.
This is not true. See http://www.arcticicehockey.com/2012/1/13/2704148/range-of-finishing-talent-between-1st-and-4th-line-forwards or http://puckprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=1228 or http://www.puckprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=625
Here are some quotes, one from each of those articles.
So that's an imperceptible difference in everyone's favorite shot quality statistic, but a very large difference in actual shooting percentage. First-line forwards are 6% better than second-line forwards at finishing, 13% better than third-liners and 23% better than fourth-liners
However, this does mean that there is significant true talent in finishing ability, and if we look over a long enough window we can see it.
The unmistakable conclusions from this table? Outshooting, out-qualitying and out-finishing all contribute to why Good Players dominate their opponents. Shot Quality only represents a small fraction of this advantage; outshooting and outfinishing are the largest contributors to good players +/-. This means that judging players uniquely by Corsi or Delta will be flawed: some good players are good puck controllers but poor finishers (Ryan Clowe, Scott Gomez), while others are good finishers but poor puck controllers (Ilya Kovalchuk, Nathan Horton). Needless to say, some will excel at both (Alexander Ovechkin, Daniel Sedin, Corey Perry). This is not to bash Corsi and Delta: puck possession remains a fundamental skill for winning hockey games. It's just not the only skill.
Morrison has suffered some injury problems and has only played in 26 games so far this season. He is currently out with an upper body injury.
Too small of a sample size to draw any conclusions, especially with a player not at 100%.
During the games Morrison has played, he has four goals and seven assists for 11 points. This isn't particularly impressive.
You are comparing apples to oranges. I didn't draw any conclusions or make and statements about Morrison based on his individual offensive numbers. My discussion of him revolved around a comparison between his goals for % and his corsi for %. Your use of individual offense only numbers either shows how desperate you are to defend corsi or how little you truly understand the arguments I have been making.

You have returned to your dishonest quote mining. As we have discussed in the past, your argument is equivalent to saying that trees moving cause wind and the Corsi people argue that wind causes trees to move. The Corsi people go further to show that trees can cause wind breaks and wind tunnels, so wind is effected on some level by trees but it misses the major point. You quote people who study the point of trees affecting the wind as though it supports you. The people you quote have told you in no uncertain terms that you are incorrect, but that doesn't stop you from quoting them as though they agree with you. Its a lie. It is dishonest.
If Brendan Morrison is a good signing then he would have to score more than four goals by mid-January in his one year deal. You are on record saying he was a good signing despite Corsi correctly saying he wasn't. You hide behind his number claiming it is too small a sample size. When the season ends and Morrison fails to get a new contract and retires you will still claim it is too small a sample size - unless somehow Morrison scores 20 goals in the remainder of the season or something - then you would claim the sample size is good enough.
You have a wonderful test to your theories. A test that you chose in Brendan Morrison. Morrison is showing you are wrong. You are too dishonest to look at reality.

Did you not read the quotes from Tom Awad?
This means that judging players uniquely by Corsi or Delta will be flawed
However, this does mean that there is significant true talent in finishing ability
Both of which are exactly what I have been basing my analysis on for years. Judging players by corsi alone will be flawed and finishing ability is a significant true talent. Are you calling Tom Awad wrong and misguided?
Posted by HockeyAnalysis on 01/19/12 at 05:49 PM ET
I have yet to say anything about Tom Awad.
I am saying you are misguided and though you use his quotes to try to support you, he would clearly say that you are wrong (so now I have said something about Awad).
Posted by PuckStopsHere on 01/19/12 at 05:54 PM ET
But he is saying the exact same thing as me.

The Numbers
Reading this post by Terrill Lankford on Ed Gorman's blog, I was reminded once again of the sorry state of American publishing, which is now totally driven by "the numbers." A lower-than-midlist writer like me hardly stands a chance. Even sadder, I was talking not long ago to a well-known writer who's somewhat higher than the midlist. This writer publishes now and then with small presses but might have to stop doing so because the sales of the small press books are going to affect bookstore orders for the ones from major houses. Even though the small press books sell out the entire print run, "the numbers" are still small. I can't think of any better example of how pernicious "the numbers" are than that.

Lime Green from Hampstead Tea
Hampstead Tea is a tea company that is new to me – this is my very first sampling of one of their teas – and I must say, I'm impressed.
As I've expressed previously, I prefer loose leaf over tea bags. For that reason, when I try a bagged tea, I'm quite skeptical. But, this tea is quite tasty, and had I not brewed it myself, I would not have guessed it was brewed from a tea bag.
The aroma of the unbrewed tea is not strong, but upon brewing it does take on a very delicious – yet still quite light – fragrance that entices you to take a sip. The Green Tea is bright and fresh-tasting, with a pleasant vegetative taste that is a nice contrast to the faint lime notes. It has a delightful sweet character to the tea, but an agreeable hint of citrus-y tart also presents itself onto the palate. It is smooth and light-bodied with very little noted astringency.
Hampstead Tea describes this tea as:
The tropical floral zest of lime is a sophisticated complement to our green tea. The classic citrus overtones are reminiscent of beachside evenings.
Ingredients: Fairtrade green tea, lime zest
This is an excellent tea to enjoy any time of the day – however, unless you like your tea quite light in the morning, I'd probably keep it for an later afternoon tea. The light, sunny citrus flavor would make it an excellent choice for iced tea as well, and it has such an agreeable taste to it that it would be an ideal tea to serve to your guests while entertaining. As it is a very light tasting green tea without strong vegetative qualities, it is also one I'd recommend to someone who is new to green teas.
As you may know by now, I really enjoy trying new teas, and this being the first experience with a tea from Hampstead Tea, I do hope it will not be the last! This is wonderful!

Sun coverage
Las Vegas firefighters will get slight raises each of the next three years under a new collective bargaining agreement approved by the City Council on Wednesday.
The issue: The council considered a four-year contract with the firefighters union, which has been in negotiations for more than a year.
The vote: Approved unanimously, with councilwoman Lois Tarkanian absent.
What it means: After more than a year of stalled negotiations, Las Vegas and its firefighters union, Local 1285, should have labor peace for the next several years under a collective bargaining agreement that lasts through June 2016.
An impasse was declared in May 2012, requiring arbitration between the two sides before Wednesday's deal was ultimately agreed upon.
The agreement, which will cost the city $7.2 million in added costs over the life of the contract, includes raises of 1.5 percent in the second and third years, and a 2 percent raise in the final year. Because the new deal includes the previous fiscal year, during which negotiations were stalled, firefighters will see their first 1.5 percent raise in their next paychecks.
As a trade-off for the increased salaries, the city was able to negotiate several measures to limit the long-term cost of new hires, including eliminating longevity pay.
"In general, what we've been trying to accomplish is to try and restore services and compensation where we can for people that took cuts," City Manager Betsy Fretwell told the council Wednesday. "The second thing we've been trying to do is to modify new hire benefits and compensation structures to be more sustainable in the long run."
Council members voiced approval for the deal, praising city staff members and union representatives for coming to a long-term agreement that provides stability for both sides.
"We always know in negotiations everybody gives a little bit," Mayor Carolyn Goodman said, "but the end result is we all care about where we live and safety for our community."
In a separate item, the council also unanimously approved a two-year contract with corrections officers at the city jail, represented by the Las Vegas Police Officers Association.
The contract will increase costs for the city by $1.3 million and give officers raises of 3 percent in the first year and 1.5 percent in the second year to restore salary concessions made by members during the recession.
The city's only remaining unsettled collective bargaining agreement is being negotiated with city marshals, represented by the Las Vegas Police Protective Association. Staff members told the council they expect a final agreement to be ready for approval within the next two to three months.

Acoma Sky City Pueblo
Emma Lewis-Mitchell was born in 1931 into the Acoma
Sky City Pueblo. She is one of the daughters of the world renowned late,
Lucy M. Lewis.
Emma was around great pottery artists her whole life, however, her greatest
inspiration came down from her mother, Lucy.
Emma was a self taught artisan, she learned the ancient traditional
methods of working with clay by carefully observing Lucy construct her
beautiful pottery vessels. Emma chose to continue the long lived tradition
of working with pottery, and using the ancient methods passed down to
her from her grandmothers because of the importance to keep her peoples
traditions alive. Emma gathers her own natural pigments and clays from
the clay pits within the Acoma Pueblo. She cleans her clay for impurities
by hand, then, she hand mixes, hand coils, hand paints, and uses a traditional
firing method to add the finishing touch to her wonderful masterpieces
which mother earth has blessed her with.
The Lewis family keeps the same patterns and does not move to a contemporary
style because it is very important to them to keep alive true traditions
and designs of the ancient mimbres people alive. Some of these designs
which are replicated are the deer with a heartline, lightning bolt pattern,
and the many variations of the mimbres patterns. Lucy was the driving
force behind the revival of pottery making as an art in the Pueblo of
the Acoma.
Emma is also related to Dolores Lewis-Garcia, Carmel Lewis (sisters),
and Drew Lewis (brother).
There are many books on Lucy M. Lewis and her daughters, information
on these fine artisans can be found in:

With the kick-off in Brazil only eight months away, Hugh Wilson looks at who will start for the Three Lions, the Chelsea man locked in competition with Leighton Baines
Chelsea's Ashley Cole has been the No.1 choice for over a decade, making his debut back in 2001.
However, in recent years, Everton's Leighton Baines has made a real claim for that position, giving Hodgson a headache over whom to choose.
Baines first featured for England back in 2010, winning two caps, before doubling that amount the next year. In the last two years, though, the Everton man has made more appearances for the national side, winning 15 caps compared to Cole's 12.
BetVictor have a special market up for who will start in that position. Ashley Cole is favourite at 1/2 (1.50), with Baines trailing at 6/4 (2.50). For those that maybe think another player will make a claim, you can back any other player at 16/1 (17.00).
With Cole turning 33 in December, it will be interesting to see whether Hodgson sticks with experience as he enters a big tournament, with the Chelsea veteran having played in a number of major international events.
Despite pressure from the media and fans to play younger stars to build for the future, Cole's previous experience over Baines in the big matches should see him start at left-back. 1/2 (1.50) may be too short for some punters but still looks the best option in this market given the current situation.

KUALA LUMPUR: It's curtains down for Malaysia's top pair Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong.
On Saturday, the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) council decided to stop the under-performing duo, who have been together for seven years, from going for any more tournaments.
A decision will be made later to either split or drop them from the national set-up.
BAM are disappointed with the world No. 6 ranked Kien Keat-Boon Heong's performances in the ongoing Maybank Malaysian Open at the Putra Stadium.
On Wednesday, the 2010 Malaysian Open winners crashed out in the opening round to China's Chai Biao-Hong Wei – extending their agonising four-year Super Series title drought.
It is not the first time that Kien Keat-Boon Heong's future as a pair has been cast in doubt. They were also on the verge of being dropped or split after the London Olympic Games in 2012 but were thrown a lifeline to play on.
When the 2006 Asian Games champions went out tamely in the quarter-finals of last year's World Championships in Guangzhou, it looked like the last straw.
But BAM president Tengku Tan Sri Mahaleel Tengku Ariff decided to give them another chance. And they blew it again.
Yesterday, Tengku Mahaleel said that their services were no longer needed and a review will be made soon.
"We kept them together and sent them for many tournaments because we wanted them to win points (world ranking points) in order to qualify for the Thomas Cup Finals (in May)," said Tengku Mahaleel.
"At that time, only (Lee) Chong Wei was winning points.
"Now, we have two other doubles pairs who have stepped up – Hoon Thien How-Tan Wee Kiong and Lim Khim Wah-Goh V Shem.
"We have now qualified for the Thomas Cup Finals (although the Badminton World Federa- tion will only confirm the list in April).
"A committee, headed by Datuk Norza (Zakaria), will review their performances and psychological aspects before making the recommendations.
"They could be split and paired up with younger players. If the players refuse to part ways, they are likely to be dropped."

Developing Personal Standards
Judy learned as a child that "obedience" was a good thing in her parent's eyes. They ordered her to conform blindly to their wishes and she did. She assumed that her reward would be her parent's love and support. Twenty years later, she still does not have the encouragement that she sought. Her discouraged, insecure parents never got it either, so they certainly couldn't give it to her.
Judy graduated from obeying her parents to obeying her husband to obeying her children. She never doubted that obedience was absolutely good in all circumstances. She accepted what she was told and believed it shouldn't be questioned, let alone challenged. Complications arose when her obedience to her rigid, moralistic parents conflicted with the wishes of her husband and children. The problem of whom to obey first was unsolvable. She felt good for nothing; she became depressed and began having anxiety attacks.
Judy couldn't tolerate the idea of disobedience. Her whole lifetime of deference and conformity would be threatened. Once she accepts she is wrong in one ways she may fear she is wrong in everyway, this would annihilate her identity. There is no middle ground between the absolutes of obedience and disobedience, good and bad, right and wrong. Merely telling Judy that it is all right to disobey her parents is not enough. She has feelings about this thought and about herself, which prevent her from taking action.
Judy was able to comprehend intellectually that she was submitting to her cold, unsupportive parents by beliefs based on past experiences. She had learned lessons about obedience all too well. However, the emotional component interfered with her ability to become independent and act according to her own personal standards. Her fear of displeasing her parents, from disappointing and defying them was to risk rejection. Rejection would mean she was "different" and "wrong", which left her feeling "worthless". She knew this stuff too. She just didn't know how to remove these carry over beliefs from the past and do anything different.
We looked at her choices. A personal choice, large or small, is an opportunity to promote your independence. By expressing a differing opinion, Judy was able to starting living in reality and breaking away from the past. One opportunity occurred on Tuesdays on her way to the gym and she had to pass the street that lead to her parent's house. She never had any intention of stopping by, but every time she approached that intersection her heart would race and she would arrive at the gym feeling guilty for not being a "better" daughter. And over twenty years she had become angry with herself for her failure to solve this problem.
She was encouraged to switch emotional gears. Her homework was to replace her feeling of being a guilty disobedient daughter with the notion that she is a worthwhile human being. One who will never be superior or inferior, one who is equally lovable despite her faults and imperfections. And on Tuesday night Judy drove through the intersection like a grown woman in her own right. She didn't realize until four blocks later that she had driven by her parent's house. For the first time in years, she had "forgotten" to look at the parent's house to see if her mother was standing on the porch with disapproving eyes watching her daughter pursue "selfish" personal pleasure.
She had done her homework, She had taken a step to emotionally sort out what was appropriate and what was no according to her own standards. She felt liberated, not from her mother, but from herself, from her guilt, her fear of displeasing, her fictitious responsibility for her mother's happiness. She did not fight these feelings, which would have only given then power and control over her. Instead she lived her life around them, on her own terms. She had bridged the gap between intellectual insight and emotional awareness. She had given herself permission to consider the possibilities of breaking the mold that her parents had put in. That took courage. This was a homework that bridged the gap between "knowing" and "feeling".
It took courage to face her fear of her parents' disapproval, and her fear of losing the only role she had ever played. She chose to take a risk because the old way wasn't working. She didn't have much to lose, but it was scary anyway. She saw that the healing process does not take place in the safety of a therapist's office. Independence means taking action in the real world, present. Judy has done a thousand home works in the two years since that break through. Each time, she cuts another strand in the cable that binds her to her miserable past. She is not obeying her mother or disobeying her either. She found a third choice, to live on her own valid terms of good enough.

On the coastal motorway sandwiched between the Mediterranean and the Sahara desert, 40 miles (64km) south of Tunis, lies the pride of the 'Tunisian Riviera': the sophisticated holiday resort town of Hammamet with its perfect sweep of beach, ancient and exciting medina, healing mineral baths and renowned top class modern hotels. Once a sleepy fishing village, Hammamet (the name comes from the Arabic al-hammamat, meaning 'the baths') was awakened to its tourist potential back in the 1920s when a flock of wealthy and arty American and European holidaymakers decided to make the beautiful bay their playground.
Today it has become a destination mainly for middle-to-upper range package tours from Europe, the streets abuzz with scantily clad holidaymakers speaking Swedish, German, English and French. Despite its modern architectural and human incursions, Hammamet retains its sense of exotic history, dominated by its 15th-century medina and souk (bazaar), where donkeys and bargain-hunters navigate the labyrinth of Aladdin's caves packed with treasures like carpets, brass ornaments, jewellery, traditional kaftans, pottery and leather goods.
The narrow winding alleys also conceal bright, whitewashed windowless houses behind splendid ornate doors. The town's baths, famed since Roman times, are also situated in the crowded medina, alongside ancient mosques and over-shadowed by the medieval castle or kasbah. The big attraction of this seaside town, though, is its six-mile (10km) stretch of palm-fringed shore, boasting beautiful sandy clean beaches, decorated with colourful fishing boats.South of the old town, along the beach, a plethora of attractive Moorish style low-rise resort hotels, set in stunning lush gardens, has mushroomed, offering visitors luxury accommodations, watersports, entertainment, gourmet restaurants and all the trappings of a perfect holiday.
Most holidaymakers come to Hammamet for the beach and sea, and there are a host of watersports on offer from water-skiing to snorkelling for those who want to do more than just laze in the sun. On top of the water, boat trips to view dolphins are a popular past time. On land there are some good golf courses, tennis courts and the chance to go horse riding or, more exotically, explore on camelback. Hammamet is well situated for a variety of excursions, offered enthusiastically by local operators. Most popular among these are shopping trips to Tunis, expeditions to the ruins of Carthage, desert safaris and outings to nearby Nabeul, headquarters of the ancient but still thriving local pottery industry.
Most hotels catering for holidaymakers in Hammamet have their own restaurants, but the town itself overflows with a variety of eateries and pavement cafes where it is possible to find anything from fish and chips to pizza. No visit to Tunisia is, however, complete without sampling the renowned local dishes, though they can be overly spicy. Among the specialities to sample are Couscous (steamed semolina grains mixed with vegetables, fish, chicken or meat), Brik (pastry filled with egg, herbs and tuna), Chorba (thick, creamy tomato soup), and Makroudh (a syrup-soaked honey cake stuffed with dates). The top restaurant in Hammamet, by reputation, is the Chez Achour, but for authentic Arabic cuisine you cannot beat La Brise on the Avenue de La Republique.
Nightlife in Hammamet is low-key, with no all-night hot clubbing experiences on offer. Most hotels offer dancing and entertainment, and there are numerous bars and discos catering for visitors, most closing by midnight however.
Shopping in the medieval souk (bazaar) in Hammamet is one of the most memorable holiday experiences for most people, who go home laden with attractive souvenirs. A treasure-trove of irresistible goods like exotic carpets, embroidered kaftans, glittering 'hubbly-bubbly' pipes, brassware, jewellery, leather goods and pottery are on offer to delight avid shoppers, who are expected to haggle over prices. Those needing to buy more practical goods will find what they require in the modern shopping centre
Care is required when swimming in the sea, as there are some unexpected deep patches near the shore. Vendors of souvenirs in Hammamet can be irritating and an annoyance to holidaymakers on the beach, and some find shopkeepers in the medina a little too pushy and overbearing.

Saxophonist Joshua Redman to Join UT Jazz Orchestra, 4/12
Born in Berkeley, California in the 1960s, Joshua Redman is the son of legendary saxophonist Dewey Redman and dancer Renee Shedroff. He is one of the most recognizable jazz saxophonists, as famous for his masterful straight-ahead post-bop improvisations as he is for his explorations of groove-based idioms. Redman won the prestigious Thelonious Monk Jazz Competition for saxophone in 1991, and has played alongside of many jazz icons including Jack DeJohnette, Charlie Haden, Joe Lovano, Pat Metheny, and Clark Terry.
Directed by Professor Jeff Hellmer, the UT Jazz Orchestra is the Butler School of Music's premier jazz ensemble. The Jazz Orchestra has performed with such masters as Michael Brecker, Phil Woods, Bob Brookmeyer, Conrad Herwig, John Clayton, Maria Schneider, and Stefon Harris in recent years. The ensemble's eclectic repertoire features original compositions of its members.

Solar Renewable Energy Credits, or SRECs can be the most confusing part of the solarization process. Nevertheless they are vitally important to understand because they will be worth a significant amount of money over the life of your stystem.
How you handle your SRECs depends on your individual financial needs and risk tolerance, so everyone approaches SRECs differently.
What is an SREC?
SRECs are separate from the physical electricity that your solar panels produce. Think of them like a "voucher" that proves that the electricity from your solar panels is renewable.
You get one SREC for every 1,000 kWh of electricity produced by a solar system.
These SREC "vouchers" are valuable because many utilities are required to purchase a certain number of them each year in order to meet sustainability requirements.
This video does a good job of further explaining how SRECs work.
Why do we have SRECs?
How much are SRECs worth?
It's important to remember that the SREC market can change at any time and the price changes depending on the supply of SRECs. SRECs are high now, but you can't be sure they will stay that way. Think of the SREC market like the stock market—it can change.
How many SRECs will my system produce?
How do I sell my SRECs?
Your installer can then help you use the certification number you receive to register your system on the Generation Attribute Tracking System ("GATS") administered by PJM. PJM is a regional transmission organization that manages the electric grid for 13 states and the District of Columbia. Once you enter the website, you need to register your system with the certification number that you have from your utility commission and submit it to the GATS administrator. GATS should issue an approval in five to seven business days and your system will begin to generate credits.
Once you're registered, you can sell your SRECs. The are three options for doing this. You can:
- Sell the rights to all of your system's SRECs upfront for a cash payment.
- Sell your SRECs via a contract for a set period of time, usually 3, 5, 0r 10 years.
- Register your SRECs yourself and trade them on the spot market (like trading stocks on the stock market).
Let's break down the benefits and drawbacks of each approach.
- You can use the upfront payment to reduce the out-of-pocket cost of your solar system. If you don't have a lot of money set aside for solar, the upfront payment is a good way to make a system affordable.
- You eliminate all market risk of future SREC price fluctuations. You know exactly how much you will get from your SRECs and can calculate exactly how long it will take to pay off your solar system.
- The total lifetime return for your SRECs will likely be considerably less than if you chose one of the other options. This is because the company that purchases your SRECs takes on all of the risk related to future SREC prices.
The best option if:
- You don't have the upfront cash to purchase a system outright (or don't have the ability to borrow money at a low rate).
- You don't want to take on any risk related to future SRECs prices.
- You don't want to deal with SRECs in the future.
Where to get an upfront payment:
- Many installers will do this for you and reduce the total cost of your system. Just ask them if this is an option.
- Allows you to lock in SREC prices for a set period of time, protecting you from future fluctuations in the market.
- Lets you know how much you'll be earning for your SREC over a period of time, so you can plan your finances accordingly.
- You don't start earning SREC income until after you system is up and running, so it doesn't help reduce the upfront cost of going solar.
- The longer your contract (i.e. 10 years vs. 5 years) the less you earn per SREC. This is because the SREC aggregator is taking on more risk with a long-term contract and because the expectation is that SRECs will go down in value over time.
The best option if:
- You are relying on SREC income to pay back the cost of your system and want to know exactly how much you will earn from SRECs over the length of your contract.
- You want to avoid fluctuations in SREC by locking in a single price.
- You can maximize your potential earnings from SRECs by selling them when SREC prices are high.
- You take on more risk that future SREC prices will fall and you won't earn as much income.
- You manage your own SREC account and decide when to sell your SRECs on the spot market, which takes more time than a contract or upfront payment. (However, SRECTrade.com does allow for an automatic payment system, where it automatically sells your SRECs as your system produces them.)
Best option if:
- You enjoy learning about the SREC market and want to follow it more closely in order to maximize your SREC income.
- You are more risk-tolerant and willing to accept possible future fluctuations in the SREC market.

I am having upper eye lift surgery as well lip augmentation using juvederm in 2 weeks and was wondering if oral sedation would be enough? Will I feel anything? I know that I would be awake but my biggest concern if the pain factor. I don't want to feel any pain. Thank you, Carmen in Florida
I Am Having Upper Eye Lift Surgery and Lip Augmentation Using Juvederm in 2 Weeks. Is Oral Sedation Enough?
Doctor Answers 11
Upper lid blepharoplasty and lip fillers under local sedation
I do alot of procedures under sedation. Having an upper lid blepharoplasty is usually relatively straightforward and along with lip fillers can be done this way.
We do many procedures under local with or without oral sedation.
However, this is not for everyone. Many patents are sufficiently nervous that they benefit from intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. I personally believe that it is highly beneficial to perform eyelid surgery under iv sedation so the patient can open and close the eyes when directed to help monitor the effect of surgery. My office procedure room is not accredited for iv sedation or general anesthesia so for these procedures I take my patents to the surgery center. It adds expense but for many individuals it is the right choice and well worth the extra money. The procedures you are having should be perfect for oral sedation.
Anesthesia for upper lid surgery and lip augmentation
There is no definite rule regarding anesthesia. Most patients manage upper blepharoplasty with local anesthesia or light sedation. Juvederm generally does not need anesthesia. A numbing cream is generally sufficient especially with the introduction of Ultra XC and Ultra Plus XC which has lidocaine mixed into the product. However, some patients require a greater level of anesthesia. The important aspects are who is providing the anesthesia, and is the facility accredited for greater anesthesia if necessary.
You might also like...
SHould be fine...but every patient is different
Your level of anxiety and pain tolerance may different than others.
Most surgeons will perform upper blepharoplasty and facial injections for fillers under local anesthesia alone without any difficult.
It will likely go smoother than you anticipate. But you are the one that ultimately has to make that decision.
Good luck

Upper Eyelid Surgery and sedation
The question is a good one, but the answer has more to do with the patient than what could be conceived as right or wrong. Roughly half of my patients prefer to have sedation for smaller procedures such as upper eyelid surgery. The main downside to this choice is increased cost, but many individuals welcome anesthesia as a positive thing. If a patient has a high level of anxiety or a low pain threshold, sedation is the way to go. Oral sedation alone can be sufficient in the right patient with realistic expectations and a calm demeanor. I recommend a frank discussion with your Surgeon about your concerns.

Anesthesia for upper lid surgery and lip augmentation
Every patient is different, but the vast majority of patients can tolerate an upper lid blepharoplasty with local anesthesia alone or with a mild sedation. I do have some patients that prefer to be more asleep and I offer them some deeper sedation with "twilight" anesthesia. The benefits to having just local anesthesia is how normal you will feel walking out of the office or operating room. The lip augmentation with Juvederm really needs no anesthesia. Allergan now makes a Juvederm Ultra Plus XC product that has lidocaine mixed into the product. I use this several times a week for lip augmentation with little to no pain at all in even the squeamish of patients.
Oral sedaton for blepharolplasty and lip augmentation
Oral sedation is fine for most people for upper lid blepharoplasty and lip injections. I usually suggest mild oral sedation to alleviate nervousness. The local anesthesia must be injected very slowly to reduce local anesthesia injection pain, however. For the lip injections, a dental block can be performed with minimal pain.
Remember that general anesthesia requires IV's and recovery time not necessary with oral anesthesia, and there is the possibility of post op nausea. General anesthesia is also more expensive. Most of my patients prefer local anesthesia for blepharoplasties. We never use general anesthesia for lip injections. Good luck with the surgery.
Oral meds for eyelids

For upper eyelid surgery, is sedation needed?
We have 2 goals for our patients: (1) help them experience a comfortable procedure and (2) strive for the best possible result. We frequently perform upper eyelid blepharoplasty with our patients awake. However, they usually take an oral medication about 1 hour prior, have a friend or family drive them home, apply a topical anesthetic, and then we anesthetize the upper eyelid skin with a local. The discomfort from this last step is very brief and tolerable. This combination works well for many people. However for the patient who simply does not want to know or feel anything, then use of an intravenous sedation anesthetic is also appropriate. Each person is different and the type of anesthesia as well as the procedure are carefully ddecided on during a consultation between the surgeon and the patient.
No sedation for eyelid surgery
I can't recall the last time I gave sedation to a patient for eyelid surgery. It adds expense, sometimes nausea, and risk to the procedure. My patient do excellent without it. That being said it's reasonable to do it. If you wanted to be put under general anesthesia I'd decline the surgery. . .you just don't need it. Sedation is reasonable and it's enough.

On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik I, the first artificial satellite into orbit around the Earth. Little more than a month later, the Soviets launched Sputnik II. News of Sputnik created panic in Washington, D.C., and throughout the United States. Within days, the U.S. military began a madcap race to space, full of crashes, skullduggery, and backstabbing - until Eisenhower's secret civilian program surpassed the Soviets by putting the first American, a hero monkey named Gordo, into orbit.
D'Antonio draws on archives, film footage, and interviews with many of the scientists, reporters, and others who were involved in the first year of the space race. He recounts the early days of the space race with all the zaniness and urgency of the time, just in time for 50th-anniversary commemorations.
©2007 Michael D'Antonio; (P)2007 Tantor Media Inc.
"Recovers for a new generation the thrill of a pioneer quest and the spirit of an age that already seems like ancient history." (Kirkus)
"Well written, well read"
First, if I could give this book 3.5 stars I would.
The book is well written and the narrator is good.
The book is read with an air of suspense like a murder mystery documentary from the discovery channel.
It has about two chapters worth of Sputnik information, very little of which seems to be insider information gleaned from the recent opening classified files on their space programs.
This book doesn't seem to take itself too seriously, it reads more like an extended history channel documentary rather than hard fact based history.
I recommend it as a fun read.

Show me what you got
How much do these leadership showcases matter? Greg Fingas recalls Stephane Dion's showing at the Liberal convention in 2006.
Much of Stephane Dion's tenure as leader of the Libs was defined by a basic inability to handle even relatively basic planning and message coordination when it counted – ranging from his campaign interview false-start, to the late-delivered and poor-quality video that did so much to undermine the 2008 coalition. But less noted is that Libs had an obvious hint as to his difficulties in the area: at the leadership convention where he was elected, Dion had the plug pulled on a convention speech which seemed to bear little relationship to the time allotted…
So while it'll be worth watching how much the candidates can inspire the crowd on Friday, we should also pay close attention to whether anybody's campaign shows signs of disorganization on the biggest stage the leadership candidates will face.

Yes you can also do that with the original, but the phone is so cute and neat.What I don't like about the phone version over the original, however, is the voice. The phone only has the Eloquence English version, where the guy frankly sounds really stuffed. I'm obviously used to using the American version of Eloquence, as I do with JAWS. I know they are planning to incorporate another voice, but please God don't let it be RealSpeak as in Jane or whatever her name is, as she's awful as well.I got Ian to ring the N82 number while I was reading something with the K-Reader, and it definitely interrupts that and allows you to take your call, only to go back to it when you end the call. That's pretty cool I must say.I also really like the N82 phone. It has a nice keypad and is smaller than my N91 or the N95 for that matter.While I borrowed it, I updated the N82 to the latest version of TALKS, and that improved this habit it used to have of TALKS chuntering when you entered the K-Reader software. It doesn't do that now, which is much better.I'm no expert about this product though, and had a play with it for a few days. I agree it is expensive, nobody is going to deny that, but it's a great piece of kit if you want all the facilities of a good phone with TALKS, plus the ability to be able to scan on your travels, all in one device.I hope that helps.

A WEST Dorset farmer is taking to the road in a vehicle more commonly seen in fields – and the stunt is all for a good cause.
Judi James will be driving her bright pink combine harvester more than 100 miles from Wimbledon Common in London to Dorset to raise money for the Breast Cancer Campaign.
Judi, 54, hit the headlines earlier this year after being shortlisted for the Sexiest Farmer awards, and said she wanted to 'give something back' after a number of people close to her had experienced the disease.
The journey, which she will begin on June 9, is expected to take up to three days to complete.
She said: "I wanted to do something that was fun, a little bit different, and would get a lot of attention.
"Not many women tend to drive combines and I only learnt myself last year, so it will be a challenge.
"And why not go the whole way and deck it out in bright pink colours?"
The route will take her through her home town of Guildford, Farnham and Basingstoke, before she reaches Yeovil via the A303.
She will drive the combine to Dorchester on the A37 and then to the Bridehead Estate.
Judi added: "Obviously I'll be avoiding the motorways, and apologies in advance to anyone that gets stuck behind me but it's all in aid of a good cause."
The farmer, who runs an RSPCA Freedom Foods veal production unit alongside her farming duties, was crowned UK Worker of the Year in 2013 and has spoken of her wish to inspire more women to get involved in the farming business and to raise money for breast cancer charities.
She said: "It is something that affects a lot of people and the charity does such good work.
"I didn't start farming until I was 47 and got promoted to driving the combine last year.
"It came to me in a sort of lightbulb moment that this would be a great fundraiser."
She added: "I am really looking forward to the challenge now. Obviously there has been a lot of preparation and I have to say thank you to a lot of people, including my son who was my chief navigator when we did a test-run of the route."

Nicki Minaj: Paps risk their health
Nicki Minaj has revealed the paparazzi are "willing to have an accident" to take photographs of her.
The rapper has been chased by the media since shooting to fame after the release of Pink Friday in 2010. Nicki admits it's hard to go through life unnoticed, particularly when she drives through Malibu in her pink car.
"People are willing to have an accident," she told host Ellen DeGeneres on her chat show.
"A girl literally cut through traffic and made a U-turn just to put her car in front of my car, so she could take a picture."
Nicki has also received plenty of attention from her fans, including British girls Sophia Grace and Rosie who covered her song Super Bass on YouTube.
The video has been viewed more than 40 million times on the popular website. Nicki reunited with the young followers on the show and advised them to paint their world with her favourite colour.
"Pink is your colour," she said.
"Pink is gonna keep you happy for the rest of your life. Pink is gonna give you power, energy, and the girliness that you need. You wear your crown and you're a queen."
The 29-year-old star also spoke about being a role model to young people. Nicki admits the explicit lyrics in her music are not suitable for children.
"You know what, I'm realising I don't have to deal with it I'm not their parents," she said when Ellen asked how she felt about the impact her music is having on the younger generation.
"I can only give advice which is to stay a child and don't rush to grow up."

Attorney voices frustrations with objectors who want Emanuel off ballot
Updated at: 6:55 a.m. on 12/17/2010
Testimony has wrapped up in the hearings over Rahm Emanuel's eligibility to run for Chicago mayor.
The lead attorney trying to kick former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel off the ballot doesn't think it's a slam dunk case. Burt Odelson is an elections attorney representing a few objectors. He's trying to kick Emanuel off the February ballot for not meeting the city's residency requirements for holding public office.
But during Thursday's hearing, about ten other objectors, with seemingly no legal experience, also questioned witnesses who were called. But their questions and concerns drew sighs and even objections from Odelson and Emanuel's attorneys.
At one point, Odelson told an objector she should strike all of her questions from the record because she was unintentionally helping the other side and he sarcastically said, "Good question" to her. After talking with Odelson during a break - that objector dropped all her outstanding motions and requests for subpoenas.
The matter will likely be decided next week. A hearing officer is expected to make a recommendation on whether Emanuel's name should be on the ballot before Thursday's Chicago Board of Election Commissioners meeting. The board will decide on the case.

What do you think.
I'd like to go someplace reasonably priced. "Keystone Grill" and "Oceanaire" are a little more than I want to spend. But then I want a place a lot nicer than Joe's Crabshack or Red Lobster.
Anyone been to "Kona Jack's" or "Bonefish Grill" Or maybe you know of some others.
Oops, sorry wrong forum. Thanks Hicks
