anyone troubled by his off start to the year? top that with Morris career season thus far, does that make you worry about markstrom being fully prepped for nhl time next season? I own him and am uneasy with how he hasnt quite rebounded, i know he had a decent game last week i think, but then he lost to the marlies on 30/34 shooting.. not sure the exact sv% but it cant be that great at all.
on a side note i'm actually dealing markstrom atm, but its a trade that has been close to being done for months, we have even agreed to terms before and just no one posted it. However i revived the talks the other day due to this poor start. Given how unpredictable goalies can be at a young age, look at how amazing mason was years ago AT the nhl level, or how highly hyped pavelec's upside is and he's still yet to show it, or even bernier's pedigree and still no starting job years after being a lock for certain to be a stud. Sure every case has its own unique quirks but i like the value im getting for markstrom and the fact he's not doing well makes it easier i think to pull the trigger, if he came out hot i think i still would have done the deal eventually, but maybe asked for more coming back. At least im still getting equivalent value, i think i upgraded a pick on my side a bit to get it done, but a small upgrade. Been trying to look for any insight on the net about markstrom's struggles but havent found anything really. Figured i can't be the only owner wondering what's up with him though.

I don't know why he's struggling but I'm not surprised, always seemed overhyped to me. He's also had 2 knee injuries, I just don't trust him long term.

Markstrom was never strong in that Marlies game, but he made all the needed stops early uncomfortably... Eventually the world caved in and finnished the game allowing 3 poor goals and 1 that wasnt his fault... I was watching closely and discussing With Justin Goldman
Justin's opinion is that he will rebound second half. Last season it took him 7 games to take off, after which he was one of the best goalies in the AHL going 15-8 to finnish the year and a barely 2 GAA, .935+ SV% 2 Years ago it took him 18 games to get it togather, But again took off with a 2.40 GAA and almost .930 SV % Looking at this track record I must agree... looking at these slow starts reminds me of Antti Niemi... The big question is why Markstrom starts slow? My closest guess is disinterest of not being in the NHL to start a season after being hyped to have instant sucess... When Markstrom finally appears, he seems to be everything he was hyped to be... The talent is there... My advice is to stay pacient and either wait for his shot and see how he responds... or wait until his numbers jump up again then deal him for top value... Personally if I had him, I'd hold him... He has a large amount of talent, same with Bernier and Pavelec you mentioned... Most stuggles a goalie receives is based on surroundings more than them not living up to hype.... (Bernier - Probebly could have done the same as Quick given the oppertunity, Pavelec - Winnipeg/Atlanta have has floundering teams, yet when he plays you notice how much he keeps them in games same as Lehtonen did in Atlanta for years)... Morris is playing extreamly strong and has a good history, but I personally don't see much in him being more than a good minor pro goalie... He has been around the block for 8 years after leaving NCAA and is almost 31 years old... its unlikely that he pulls a Tim Thomas and knocks off Markstrom...

great was hoping for some insight from Mr. Goldman, even if it is via second hand lol.
thanks for the history, never thought to look up his trends, just always figured he was fairly consistent start to finish. especially if he posted the numbers he did for season totals. I still moved him because i got yakupov in return, and its a keep 7, rask is my number 1, 20 team h2h, yakupov is farm eligible (100gm) and markstrom would eat a keeper slot. Trying to deal for lehner as replacement, owner seems to not care much for him, just he hasn't been online much during the lockout so its hard to get any consistent talks going. Also wanted to hold him badly in that particular league but previously yakupov fetched lehtonen in that league in the deal prior, and i had the 1st pick to begin with which i sent with seguin for tavares, i then flipped 2 1st rd picks for seguin, and then acquired yakupov back tn, i also managed to snag OV via trade, drafted rask + pietrangelo as well very productive off-season for sure. Just found it ironic how i started with the 1st overall pick (prospect) and along the way it turned into tavares and i still kept seguin and the 1st to boot down the line following some high way robberies. Great to hear though that his struggles are not unlike his previous campaign starts. Reminds me of lehner last year, he played horrible before the bishop trade and then he just snapped out of it. He even got called up and performed great, much better then bishop i felt. I own him in another league and he was recently acquired in the summer, needless to say I am pleased with his ahl season thus far. I never thought morris would threaten him long term, but this season could be a long one for him if this becomes an halak/elliott scenario. which would reduce markstrom's starts, possibly not allowing him to play as much as florida would have ideally liked. Also maybe if he's one of those goalies who thrives on starts consistently to get going, then maybe he doesnt get on track well at all enough to salvage some decent stats. All of those are big what if's just looking at different scenario's.

Another itchy Markstrom owner here
I'm looking for some input from anyone who actually watch him play. Looking purely at stats and comparing Morris and Markstrom, the difference is brutal. I was looking for anything from Mr. Goldman, but I see he moved to McKeen's and all updates on goalieguild site stopped... |
I too was worried (I am every year), especially with things compounded by Morris's hot start.
I remind myself that I go through this every year that I've had Markstrom and by the end of the year his stats are respectable. P.S. Morris s#*t the bed last night with 7 goals on 30 shots.

LuckyLuke - I have watch Markstrom play 6+ games a year live while in San Antonio and Rochester and many more on TV/internet feed, and currently have seen him twice this year VIA internet feeds... And I talk to Goldman several times a day as we bounce information off each other as it comes in, we discuss many issues and analize games togather when we can... so if you have questions I can relay...
Justin is still able to be in here and responding while with McKeens, but due to time constraits with his many projects and watching NCAA, JR, Euro and AHL games, he has just stopped poping in... But again... any questions you have, throw them to me or his Twitter and u'll likely get a responce. Dobber Nation is well coverd =)

Jason Banks - thank you for info. It's still quite small game sample for Markstrom, but if I'll have any questions, I know where to ask now.
More stuff on Markstrom that kind of echos what I've said in some other threads, and what I've said to Jason when we chat on facebook:
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/f...,3682799.story Don't be concerned UNLESS we find out he's playing through some kind of undisclosed injury, which I don't suspect is the case. |
Markstrom has looked awesome, as of late.

It is quite amazing that two, three or all children who are raised under the same roof, with the same parents and the same rules, can have such different personalities. There are many things which shape a child's emotional temperament, including how their behavior is recognized and addressed, sleep, frightening experiences, nurturing moments, and peer interactions, to name just a few. A frustrated father wrote to me for help with his son, who is quite the opposite of his outgoing,adventurous daughter. No matter how hard he tried, he could not convince his son to participate in team sports, or truly have fun with friends. It can be very difficult for parents to accept that each child views life differently, but it is always important to respect those differences and accept your child, with unconditional love. Read more in my syndicated column, Accept your children for who they are.

Quality brewing in Mundelein
Bruce Dir owns the Tighthead Brewing Co. in Mundelein. The company opened about a year ago. | Brian O'Mahoney~for Sun-Times Media
Tighthead Brewing Co.
SPECIALTY: Craft beer
LOCATION: 161 N. Archer Ave., Mundelein
HOURS: Wednesday-Friday: 4-10 p.m., Saturday: Noon to 10 p.m., Sunday: Noon to 6 p.m.
CONTACT: (847) 970-9174; www.tightheadbrewing.com
Article Extras
Updated: December 5, 2012 10:16AM
MUNDELEIN — One 1993 home-brewing kit has helped Bruce Dir produce 1,000 barrels of beer in the last 12 months.
The kit, a gift from his fiancée Molly the year before they wed, put Dir on a path that led him to open Tighthead Brewing Co., a production brewery located a stone's throw from the Mundelein train station.
"I enjoyed brewing. I became a certified judge and I judged competitions in the area," Dir said.
In 2009, after he was reorganized out of human relations jobs – his career path for 20 years – Dir was looking to be his own boss. What emerged was his idea for a production brewery, the first in Lake County since the 1950s.
"I wanted to do something I loved, and what I kept thinking of was beer," Dir said.
He got a business plan in order and financing lined up. He went to the Siebel Institute of Technology, America's oldest brewing school. He eventually became a brew master.
Tighthead – the name comes from tighthead prop, the position that Dir played during his more than 13 years of rugby – was founded in 2010.
Beer offerings change frequently at the 4,000-square-foot establishment that has only three standards – Comfortably Blonde, Scarlet-Fire and IRIE IPA. Dir promises beer aficionados something special.
"We do quality, traditional ales and lagers. We are not going to do something off-handed, put some wild ingredient in," Dir said. "We do traditional styles and do them with great quality. We offer a very clean-tasting beer."
Except for the three standards, when a craft beer at Tighthead is gone, it's gone. Dir said that keeps people intrigued and coming back on a regular basis.
The 1,200-square-foot taproom at the front provides an area for drinking and socializing. When Dir says his focus is on beer, he's not kidding. The taproom doesn't even have a pub menu of food offerings, although customers are allowed to bring in food.
"Some people have pizzas delivered," Dir said. "We have limited snacks available."
Currently, Tighthead has a 60/40 breakdown between distribution and taproom sales. Dir hopes to shift to 80 percent distribution and 20 percent tap sales going forward and will offer packaged sales of Tighthead beer soon.
Bill's Pizza & Pub in Mundelein carries Tighthead's Comfortably Blonde on tap. Brian Jensen, a bartender at Bill's, said people come in asking what Tighthead beers the eatery offers.
"I would say, except for Miller and Leinny's (Leinenkugal) Red, Tighthead is our third or fourth most popular beer," Jensen said.

The Maldives government has said its hands are tied in the case of a 15-year-old girl sentenced to 100 lashes and eight months house arrest for engaging in premarital sex.
The registrar for the Juvenile Court confirmed Wednesday that the sentence had been imposed Tuesday, after the girl confessed during a court hearing to the charge of fornication.
"She's staying in a children's home now so we have ordered her to remain in a children's home," registrar Zaima Nasheed Aboobakur told CNN.
"We have explained to her how if she wants to receive the punishment (the lashings) right now she can ... or it can be postponed until she turns 18," she added.
Amnesty International told CNN the same girl was the alleged victim of sexual abuse by her stepfather.
The Juvenile Court registrar said she had no information on reported charges against the girl's stepfather, as that case was being dealt with by the Criminal Court, but she said that the teenager's fornication charge was unrelated to the stepfather's case.
The prosecutor general told Amnesty International on Wednesday that it couldn't elaborate on the circumstances of the premarital sex other than that the girl had confessed to the offense, punishable under the Islamic country's Sharia laws, said Abbas Faiz, a researcher with the group.
In not releasing further information to the group, the prosecutor general also cited protecting the minor's identity, Faiz told CNN. Maldives, a tourist destination, is an Indian Ocean archipelago of about 1,200 small islands, 200 of which are inhabited and typically have small populations.
Neither the stepfather's name nor the girl's has been released to the public.
CNN, meanwhile, has contacted the prosecutor's office about the specifics of the case against the girl and the allegations against her stepfather. In an e-mail response, the deputy prosecutor general said the office is, "restricted by laws in relation to the amount we can share with (the) public when it involves a minor." The prosecutor's office did promise to provide "as much information as we can," but has not yet responded to CNN's follow-up e-mail.

Remember to always check -- and even double check -- your math when preparing your return. Especially if you're rushing to make the midnight deadline, it can be easy to forget to carry the one.
Your math error may end up working in your favor, resulting in an IRS correction that nets you more money than expected. However, it can just as likely cost you money -- not to mention interest payments, penalties, etc.
No. 4: Screwing up personal information
It's amazing how simply transposing a couple digits on your tax return can end up indefinitely delaying your tax return.
But that's just what can happen if you goof up your social security number or your bank's routing information. Making such mistakes with your personal information can actually be worse than screwing up your math.
That's because the wrong bank account information could send your refund bouncing back to the IRS or straight into someone else's account. Considering that the IRS has no procedure for recovering lost electronically transferred funds, you could be out of luck.
At the very least, making such mistakes with your personal information can slow down your payment as you wait for the IRS to sort it out.
And filling out the wrong social security numbers, or forgetting to fill them in completely, can have the IRS disallowing certain tax breaks tied to your taxpayer identification number.

Laura Lee Guhrke and Deadline Hell
It's that place where they serve no food but cold pizza, Hot Pockets, and Red Bull.
It's warm here. It should be smokin' hot (it is hell, after all, and I do write romance) but I feel cold due to my overwhelming sense of panic.
The devil's here, too, that snake. He's slithering around, whispering wonderful things like, "That is the stupidest sentence you've ever written," and asking helpful questions like, "Does she have to feel tingles up and down her spine again?"
When I'm in deadline hell, I always wonder how I got here, but thinking it over, I realize that plenty of good intentions pave the road to deadline hell. "Today I am going to get up at five a.m. and start work," and, "I won't stop until I've got twenty pages," and, "I will not play Spider or Bookworm today," are several that come to mind.
There is a way out of deadline hell, though, and that way is to finish the $%#*& book. It seems impossible and I whine and cry about how impossible it is and how haaaaaard it is, and my boyfriend pats me on the head with a skeptical, "Uh-huh," and sends me back into the pit for another round with the serpents. When I proclaim that I can't do it, and that this is the hardest book I've ever done, he laughs. Demonically. I'm not kidding, people. That man has no compassion.
I decided to blog about deadline hell today, not only because I am there, but also because my characters are there, too. I am just finishing up a book about writers. WITH SEDUCTION IN MIND is the 4th book in the Girl-Bachelor Chronicles and tells the story of Daisy Merrick, fresh-faced wanna-be who decides to become a writer because she can't keep any other sort of job, and her hero, Sebastian Grant, a cynical literary legend who's burned out, washed up, and in the throes of writer's block.
When I started this book, 'lo these many months ago, it seemed like it would be a piece of angel food cake. I mean, the how-to books are always telling writers to write what we know. So I did, and it's been the hardest book I've ever written. (I can hear you saying skeptically, "Uh-huh," just like my boyfriend, but I am serious, people). Explaining writers in a way that makes us sympathetic without being crazy or whiny is really hard. The reason, of course, is that we are all crazy and whiny. And because we have no time for romance. This is the part my boyfriend agrees with, since he had to drag me out of the house (AKA: deadline hell) last Valentine's Day.
Deadline hell is full of fear, and it is not rational fear. My rational mind knows that I can finish my book because I've done that very thing fourteen times before, and I have the books with my name on 'em to prove it. But my writer mind is always afraid that this time, I won't be able to do it. This time, I'll mess up. Deadline hell is where I had my first writer's block, first panic attack, and seventeen-hundredth chocolate brownie (in a week). But I keep coming back here, and I don't know why. I never intend to end up in deadline hell, and every time I arrive, I think, "Wait. How did I get here?" My mom says it's because I secretly love deadline hell. That I get the same thrill out of this that I get out of black diamond runs at the ski resort. That I do this with every book because I like the thrill and the drama. She says I'm an adrenaline junkie. My mom, though, is crazy. She also says I write my best stuff down here. Sheesh.
What about you? Do you do your best work in panic mode? Or do you cave under too much stress? Are you one of those people who thrives on impossible odds or do you always makes sure to get the work done on time without any increase in blood pressure? Are you an adrenaline junkie, addicted to dangerous roads? Or are you a plan, ahead, look at a map, choose the safe route, sort of person?
Leave a comment about one of the questions above and your email addy and one person will be chosen from all who enter to win an autographed copy of "AND THEN HE KISSED HER", the first Girl-Bachelor book.

oh.. I'll send you cyber brownies to help you out of deadline hell.
I'm not a writer but I work on a bi-monthly bulletin which is often under deadline hell when people don't get me the information that is needed for it in a timely manner. Unfortunately my rush isn't always of my doing when I receive materials late.
Unfortunately you can't do what we've often done is gone to print without some people's blurbs in the bulletin. - December 10, 2008 at 6:21 AM

ROFL! I love this post. It works totally for me because I am one who does not do STRESS. My hubby takes the laptop away when I begin going, 'uhnnhuuhnnnoooo" and whilst he holds it, he examines my eyes, and when the inevitable twitch is going on, makes me stop.
But... if that brownie thing fixes a plot hole... I am so there! - December 10, 2008 at 7:32 AM
- Pauline B Jones said...
I already own all three bachelor girls books (love them!), but had to stop by and say hi and also warn you about hot pockets! Have you ever listened to Jim Gaffigan talk about them? LOL! He's pretty funny.
Deadlines? Well sometimes panic works and sometimes it doesn't, but brownies are ALWAYS good. Helpful, aren't I? **G** - December 10, 2008 at 8:44 AM

It doesn't matter how much planning ahead I do, I still seem to thrive under pressure, for some odd reason. Still trying to figure that one out.

Morning, everyone! Thanks, Ellory, but cyber-brownies just aren't the same. Pictures of Hugh Jackman, though, are always helpful! Kim, I don't twitch, but I do babble. Too many days in a row of never leaving the house can make a person incoherent. Pauline, glad you like the Girl-Bachelors, but why do you have to "warn" me about Hot Pockets? Never mind. La-la-la (fingers in ears). I don't want to know. Yeah, Margary, I am the same way. It doesn't matter how hard I work, I never get my books done in a calm, so-many-pages-a-day-for-so-many-weeks kind of way. I have to do the last hundred pages in 10 days. You think I'd learn, but no.

I may start off trying to plan ahead but too many other things come up, or I might procastinate some, then end up rushing last minute - but I actually do better with most things under that last-minute pressure.

Well, I'm not a writer, so I don't have that actual deadline, but I do tend to wait till the last minute and I get too stressed out. When I actually get something done earlier, I am much calmer and focused.

I don't handle stress and last-minute panic well, so I am a plan-ahead, list-making person! I try to be organized with my time, but not everyone in my life cooperates! ;-)

Afternoon Everyone and Welcome Laura Lee!! I have to admit that I am a last minute person most of the time and then I go absolutely bonkers with stress. You'd think I would learn from past experiences but nooooooo, not me.
For all of you that don't know, Laura Lee is actually going through the Deadline Hell at this moment and that is why we picked this subject. What better thing to let all of you know about that something she's going through now. Kudo's to you Laura Lee for doing it and for taking the time to be with us here today considering the holidays, your deadline and whatever else you have pulling you this way and that. I do hope you all have a good day and I will be around later.

Laura, all the best in Deadline Hell!
I usually plan, but I've been in the DH more than I want to be.
Take care, beat the deadline all to hell, and enjoy the holidays!

Thanks, everyone, for the best wishes and encouragement. It is much appreciated. I have to admit, these are the times when writing is hardest, but nothing beats the feeling of getting to the end of the day and knowing you've given your all. Let's not even talk about the holidays. I haven't bought a single present yet. I think I'll be power shopping on Christmas Eve!

Daisy's story sounds delish! I love your girl bachelors.
I do my best work under deadline hell which is a really good thing considering that I'm a world class procrastinator. I'm currently in the middle of cranking out cookies and chocolates so I can make the package mailing Xmas deadline. If I lived closer, I'd bring you lots of yummy goodies to see you through the book deadline crisis. - December 10, 2008 at 4:32 PM
- Jessa Slade said...
Noooo, don't tell me about more computer games! But I will share my deadline secret: English Bay bucket o' cookie dough. 8 lbs of pure freshly baked double choco goodness. That's my revenge for the computer game suggestions.
Good luck in hell! - December 10, 2008 at 4:52 PM

Deadline Hell whether it is writing or your day job is a living hell. I get through it with a laugh with a friend and tons of chocolate. Thanks for providing the laugh today. Right there with you.

Thanks, PJ. Glad you like the Girl-Bachelors. In reading over everybody's posts, I've noticed one common theme keeps popping up: cookies. Hmm, cookies help stress management? Could be. I know I have my bag of pink and white animal cookies sitting right here (brownies are gone, I've moved on).
I know it's also wonderful if you have the support of your family. My mother sent this email to me today:
"I woke this morning with a vivid dream about your book. I dreamed the book is already done. You're like the sculptor who knows there's a statue hiding under all that extra marble, and all you have to do is set it free. Suspend judgement, break free and let that already written book come out. Let it shine. I've love you and I'm so proud of all that you have done and all that you are about to do. It's time now to know your power as a writer."
How's that for family support? Does my mom rock or what? - December 10, 2008 at 5:47 PM

LOL! Loved this post. I never touched Red Bull until I became an Author With A Deadline.
Where can I get that Bucket o' Cookie Dough? Sounds delicious. :) - December 10, 2008 at 8:56 PM

Ack! Deadlines! I'm not published yet, and I still dread that word. I do like to set self deadlines to keep myself on track and to get myself accustomed to the rigorous life of a writer. I think when the deadlines are too strict, I find that I end up with more hair in my fists than words on the page :)

Hi Laura: Great post! I am simpatico with your plight as Deadline Hell is something I know all too well! For me writer's block always happens at the beginning - once I can push through and get something down then it all begins to flow and I can get into a groove. But I also do my best writing under the gun - maybe it's the pressure firing all those synapses in your brain. Who knows. But once it's over I feel so silly that I put myself through that and vow never to do it again. Yeah right! Good Luck with your new book!

Hi Laura, those brownies look yummy!! Have me think more and appreciate more all you authors do to get these stories out for us to enjoy!
I actually don't do as well under pressure. I like to go my own pace and I'm a huge forgetting person of things, so I have to keep a list of things to do them or I totally forget and don't remember until way after they are due! And I always feel so gulity about that. But I seem to lose those notes/lists lately! - December 10, 2008 at 11:39 PM

"I dream my painting and then paint my dream." - Vincent Van Gogh
Dear Lauri,
Many of my dreams are in the past like in the Civil War or World War II. I can see the gunfire and death and I am always running and running. I don't know why I run or who or what is chasing me. I always wake up exhausted from the running. - Mary Ann 44, Memphis, TN
Lauri: Dreaming of the past doesn't necessarily mean you are seeing a past life, rather your dream is commenting on something from YOUR past. The settings of your dreams are always a war. What sort of battle is in your past? Anything from childhood? A health battle? Whatever the case, it is something you are continually "running from" or avoiding dealing with in waking life... and that is why you keep dreaming the same thing over and over again. Your dreams cannot move forward until you move forward. Clearly there is something from your past you are avoiding rather than confronting and working through. When you get help with this, when you finally face it and stop running, your dreams will stop or change. Good luck!
Mary Ann replies: I think this goes back to my first health issues. I have had twenty surgeries, ten on my lower back, seven for an artificial hip and the rest for different things. I believe my war dreams started when I had one of my many hip surgeries; I freaked out and literally ran out of the hospital, put my clothes on and just left. Whenever I need another surgery I freak and want to run. I had back surgery in January but called and cancelled the surgery. That same day I got a calming phone call from my surgeon and we re-booked the surgery. I am tired of running. I now face my health issues straight on.
Fascinating Sleep Fact: The study at the University of Pittsburgh found that obese children spend an average of 22 less minutes in REM sleep than their peers of average weight.

100 Days Programme of Ministry of Coal
We're producing what's possible, operating scenario should be understood
Jan 16, 2012
Business Standard, New Delhi
Coal India Ltd, the world's largest producer and India's state-owned miner, is going through a difficult period following an unprecedented decline in output. Chairman
Nirmal Chandra Jha
defends the company's recent performance in an interview with Sudheer Pal Singh. Edited excerpts:
Have you agreed on a 25 per cent rise in workers' wages this time? What would be its impact?
The last meeting with workers remained inconclusive. The two sides agreed on a 25 per cent hike, but subject to certain conditions. That issue is to be resolved in the next 10 days. After the next meeting on January 27, we will decide whether more negotiations are required. The wage hike will not necessarily be followed by a price hike. It will depend on how much increase is settled.
How do you counter the allegation that the sector is going through its worst phase, led by Coal India's dismal performance?
The allegation needs to be examined in the light of the current operating scenario. Ninety per cent of Coal India's production comes from open-cast mining. This requires digging the earth, which requires the right to do mining. If coal-bearing land is not given to us, from where would coal be produced? Forest clearances cause delays. Newer terms and conditions are being imposed every time a proposal is taken up. The Forest Rights Act (FRA), 2006, has made settling the rights of all dwellers of the forest a pre-condition. Also, there is a new issue, of the Wildlife Conservation Plan which has to accompany every proposal. In another new issue, a digitised map of the mining plan has to be prepared with the differential GPS by the miner. All these delay the clearance of land for mining purposes. If any incremental production comes from the same mining area, it is again a violation of the law, of the Environmental Clearance (EC) limit. Also, people with land rights do not vacate land. Even if the acquisition is allowed on paper, physical possession is not always feasible. On the one hand, production from a mine is limited. On the other, people are asking for more coal.
Has not the end of the No-Go policy helped? What led to the downward revision of this year's target?
A ministerial group recently recommended that the No-Go rider be dispensed with and projects be cleared on individual merit. But this was happening earlier, too; we have come back to the same regime. As on date, we have 177 forestry proposals awaiting clearance. The current year's target was 447 million tonnes. This required a modest growth of 4.9 per cent. Unfortunately, this year's monsoon played havoc on our mines and we had huge negative growth in the three months of August, September and October. And, we fell short of 26 mt from the year's target. Making up the loss is possible only if we grow positively in the months of November till March. If we have a 10 per cent growth in the last three months this year, we would end up producing around 440 mt. But the target for these dry months was already kept high. g higher than what is already high is difficult.
There is potential in a lot of mines to produce more, but by doing this, we would cross the EC limit, which is not allowed. In other cases, the EC limit is present but we cannot produce because of forest clearance and land acquisition constraints.
But land acquisition is an evergreen problem. What makes it special this time?
Land acquisition problems have never been so acute in the past. The problem has aggravated as states have come up with newer relief and rehabilitation policies in the past three-four years, enabling land oustees to get more and more compensation. Also, the Land Acquisition Bill is pending in Parliament, which promises oustees four times the market price. So, why will a land holder give away land until the Bill becomes an Act, making it mandatory for the company to pay four times higher compensation?
There are contradictory provisions in the Acts which disable coal companies from getting land. While acquiring land, a miner cannot pay more than what is to be provided in the compensation provision of the Coal Bearing Areas (Acquisition and Development) Act. So, while the CBA Act asks miners not to pay more than a certain amount, the Land Acquisition Bill asks them to pay four times the market price. This dilemma should be resolved at the earliest. In some cases, we are not getting land even after paying the market price. All over the country, there is an aversion to give away land. While compensation would go up, we are not free to price the coal at whatever price we want.
But coal prices are deregulated.
Deregulation is on paper. It is theory. Naturally, the ministry continues to have a say on prices. The largest consumer is the power sector, whose product is regulated. So, we are not free to fix any price of coal. We are selling coal at a discount of 26 to 70 per cent of the imported price in energy terms. It is not feasible to have 100 per cent import parity in the coal price. The country is not in a position to absorb that high cost.
Do you think it is justified for the power ministry to blame CIL for its ills, given the widening gap between CIL-linked power capacity and coal receipts from CIL?
The blame is not justified. CIL is not the repository of the entire country's coal resources. CIL is trying to produce the maximum it can. It should be the power sector's lookout if they are not able to meet generation targets. Even in the current year's extremely bad situation, we have supplied 91 per cent of the Annual Contracted Quantity (ACQ). Whenever Letters of Assurance (LOAs) have been granted, we have always informed the government that CIL does not have enough coal. We were forced to issue LOAs. If coal has to be imported, consumers have to take coal at that price. When CIL had initially tried to import coal and asked for a back-to-back tie-up, nobody came forward.
CIL has made it clear that it will not be able to meet everybody's requirement. If this has to be done, 50 per cent of coal will have to be sourced from imports. Even while we supplied 303 mt last year to the power sector against the committed 323 mt, we had 70 mt in the stocks. We have produced enough. CIL cannot make this coal reach their power plants. If they require coal, they should lift it from the pithead. Even in October, when e-auction coal was diverted to the power sector, nobody lifted that coal. So, what is the fun in blaming CIL? Even in the past two months, CIL has added four mt coal to the stocks. This is because we are not getting sufficient rakes. We required 200 rakes in December but we got 186. This translates to a loss of loading of 50,000 tonnes daily. We cannot create rail infrastructure for the entire country. These issues have to be solved at the national level.
Are you in favour of the share buyback proposal in CIL?
We have not received any intimation from the government on this matter. I understand that in a buyback, the company extinguishes its share. What is the benefit to the company of this buyback? If I extinguish my share, it will be bought by somebody, from my money. My cash balance will be reduced and the interest income on this cash will also reduce. The company's profitability will be reduced. The company will look for greater profitability for the shareholder from this money. The buyback route has been rarely practiced, as I understand. The cash reserve is with public sector banks, which are adequately utilising it elsewhere.

EDITORIAL: Push needed for tax reform in Pa.
Sunday in this space we congratulated our skinflint governor for finally overcoming his campaign promise not to raise taxes on anybody or anything.
The governor has slowly come to the conclusion that the state needs more money and he has decided to pursue it through sales taxes on Internet vendors and fees on natural gas drillers. Also, uncapping the Oil Company Franchise Tax could be a mini-gusher for needed state revenues.
It can be argued that our reference to "selfish voters" and "anti-tax zealots" ignored the fact that some state governments can be pretty irresponsible and "selfish" themselves. There is a limit to what governments can and should do, and a limit to what they can demand in the way of taxes from even their wealthiest residents.
Take California, for instance.
With super-Democratic majorities in its Legislature and a Democratic governor, California just raised its state income tax on its highest earners to a stunning 13.2 percent.
Combined with the federal government's recent tax hike on people making over $450,000, that means the effective overall tax bill on California's top earners can reach as high as 63 percent. No wonder so many high earners have already fled - or are thinking about fleeing - the Golden State.
Case in point, pro golfer Phil Mickelson. Last week he made the mistake of mentioning in a press interview that he was thinking of moving his family out of his home state because of the new tax rates. He was immediately bashed for being greedy and selfish. After all, he's a multi-multi-millionaire and he'd still have millions left to feed his family if he stayed put.
"Cry me a river, Lefty!" was the attitude conveyed by class warriors and soak-the-rich advocates.
Mickelson quickly apologized for having said what he said and vowed not to make that mistake again. What he didn't promise to do was stay in California.
The funny thing about Mickelson is that he is one of the few big-time pro golfers still left in California. Most of the others - including Tiger Woods - fled years ago. Continued...
Pro athletes aren't the only millionaires who leave high tax states for low-tax locales. But so far there are few studies that indicate that increasing taxes on the rich actually lead to mass exoduses. Many other factors certainly play into the decisions people make when it comes to relocating from one state to another. But certainly tax rates will have a greater and greater impact as those rates go up.
Pennsylvania has a relatively low, flat 3.07 percent income tax. So if you make a $1 million a year, you pay $30,700 to the state. If you make $100,000 a year you pay $3,070 and if you make $50,000 you pay $1,535 and so on.
Now, is it fair that the millionaire has a tax bill 38 times what the average Pennsylvania wage earner pays? That, of course, depends on how you want to look it.
But more and more revenue-starved states and countries are looking to increase taxes on the wealthy rather than grow their tax bases or cut government spending. And so we are seeing more and more stories about famous wealthy people leaving their home states and native lands for tax-friendlier confines.
In the U.S., states like California, New York, and Illinois have refused to pare back government spending and live within their means. The promises their legislators have made to public employee unions are unsustainable. Everyone knows it, but no one in a position of responsibility appears willing to do anything about it. Government office holders can continue to raise tax rates on their wealthier citizens, but even if they took them to 95 percent, it wouldn't be enough to sustain current levels of spending and promised future spending.
Growing the tax base plus cutting government spending is the only path to fiscal health.
California, with its sunny weather and beautiful coastline, has an appeal with which it is tough for a rust-belt state like Pennsylvania to compete. But at least we're not driving wealthier individuals out of our state with confiscatory tax rates.
Rich pro golfers aren't the only people being driven out of California. Highly-taxed and highly regulated employers are leaving, too. So are other wealthy people.
It wasn't Grover Norquist, the famous anti-tax activist, who wrote these lyrics:
"If you drive a car, I'll tax the street, Continued...
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.
Don't ask me what I want it for
If you don't want to pay some more
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman …"
It was George Harrison, back in 1966. That's when the top rate in Great Britain was 95 percent and it was one of the main reasons The Beatles eventually fled Jolly Old England.
Like cooking a live frog, you don't throw it into a frying pan with boiling water. It'll jump out. You cook a frog by putting it in warm water and turning up the heat slowly.
The same is true for raising taxes. Raise them too high, too fast and all you end up with is a live frog jumping around your kitchen. Do it right and you end up with … well, a dead frog.
Hmmm. Continued...
Maybe when it comes to raising taxes and fiscal health, we need to go back to the drawing board.
