27 January 2016
Today, 27 January 2016, Prof Alain Beretz and Prof Kurt Deketelaere, Chair and Secretary-General of LERU (League of European Research Universities), presented the signatures to the LERU Statement on Open Access to Commissioner Carlos Moedas and Dutch Secretary of State Sander Dekker. At the end of the meeting of the informal Competitiveness Council in Amsterdam, almost 10,000 signatures* (from individuals and institutions) were handed over, calling upon the policy makers for clear initiatives to guide the development of the Green and Gold routes to Open Access (OA).
Nowadays, European universities pay publishers significant parts of their university budget. Hundreds of millions of euros. Money which is not directly spent on research and education, even though it is largely taxpayers´ money. As Harvard University already denounced in 2012, many large journal publishers have rendered the situation "fiscally unsustainable and academically restrictive", with some journals costing as much as $40,000 per year (and publishers drawing profits of 35% or more). If one of the wealthiest universities in the world can no longer afford it, who can? It is easy to picture the struggle of European universities with tighter budgets. In addition to subscription costs, academic research funding is also severely affected by "Article Processing Charges" (APC), which come at an additional cost of €2000/article, on average, when making individual articles Gold Open Access. As a result, some publishers even get paid twice for the same content ("double dipping").
In the era of Open Science, Open Access to publications is one of the cornerstones of the new research paradigm and business models must support this transition. It should be one of the principal objectives of policy makers to ensure that this transition happens. Further developing the EU´s leadership in research and innovation largely depends on it. Therefore, LERU launched on 12 October 2015 a campaign on Open Access, under the title: "Christmas is over". With the statement "Moving Forwards on Open Access", LERU called upon all universities, research institutes, research funders and researchers to sign this statement and give a clear signal towards the European Commission and the Dutch Presidency of the Council of the European Union. Carlos Moedas and Sander Dekker immediately reacted in a positive way to this campaign and statement.
For Green OA, the Statement calls for embargo periods to be as short as possible; embargo periods should be the same for the same journal across the globe; and embargo periods should be set according to the requirements of the research funder, not the publisher. For Gold OA, the Statement calls for the payment of Article Processing Charges (APCs) in hybrid journals to be offset against subscription payments – so that universities do not pay twice for the same content. As part of such deals, all researchers at the subscribing institutions should be able to publish in Gold OA at no extra charge.
Researchers worldwide, not only from the 21 LERU universities but from many other institutions,have signed the Statement, which represents a sea change in the transition from traditional subscription models to an Open Access future. This future is founded in Open Access swiftly becoming the default way in which research findings are shared and made available to as wide an audience as possible. The inability to pay subscription costs is a barrier to access to information and knowledge. The LERU OA Statement recognises this by calling for a fundamental move to OA publishing backed by a business model which is forward-looking and sustainable.
"A move to OA publishing is part of a bigger transition to Open Science, a flagship of Commissioner Moedas and the Dutch Presidency in the first half of 2016", said Professor Kurt Deketelaere, Secretary-General of LERU. "It is generally acknowledged that there is a citation advantage for the author when material appears as Open Access. OA will also help universities contribute to the grand challenges which face society – disease, poverty, migration, global warming - by making all our knowledge available to everyone, thus speeding the development of cures and solutions".
"European research is influential across the globe", said Professor Alain Beretz, President of the University of Strasbourg and Chair of LERU. "A fundamental shift to OA in the current publishing market, which is what the LERU Statement calls for, is essential to maintain Europe's (worldwide) impact and competitiveness".
The time for action is now. The large number of signatories to the LERU Statement shows that issues around OA have touched an academic nerve. Researchers are looking for a change in publishing models which recognises the sea change which Open Access represents.
LERU calls on Secretary of State Sander Dekker to facilitate with the Dutch Presidency, and with the support of the European Commission, round-table talks between all stakeholders to realise the vision laid out in the LERU Statement on OA. This vision will transform research and help transition society to open forms of sharing and communication for the common good.
*9,337 signatures (more than 200 of which are coming from universities and research organisations) on 21 January 2016. For the current situation, please visit http://www.leru.org/index.php/public/extra/signtheLERUstatement/.

EU Fights July Deadline for U.S. Swaps Rule Opposed by BanksJim Brunsden
The European Union is urging the U.S. to change course on a planned swaps rules that it says would leave banks saddled with extra costs and incompatible legal obligations.
EU regulators are concerned that time is running out for the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission to amend or delay requirements that stretch beyond U.S. borders, ahead of a July 12 deadline, an EU official said.
The international reach of CFTC swap-trading requirements has been one of the most controversial elements of the U.S. Dodd-Frank Act rules, prompting opposition from financial companies including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Barclays Plc, as well as EU, Asian and South American regulators.
Jonathan Faull, the commission official responsible for financial-services rules, wrote last month to CTFC Chairman Gary Gensler urging him to allow more time for international talks.
Michel Barnier, the EU's financial-services chief, will raise the derivatives rules with officials during a visit to the U.S. next month, the official said.
The EU is seeking an agreement with the U.S. that its banks can be exempted from the CFTC rules on the basis that EU standards are equally rigorous, Chantal Hughes, a spokeswoman for Barnier, said in an e-mail.
"On the great majority of financial-services issues, the EU and U.S. are very much in line with each other," Hughes said.
Incompatible Restrictions
The EU is concerned that banks might face overlapping reporting requirements and incompatible restrictions on where to clear derivatives trades in the $633 trillion global market, according to the official, who can't be named in line with official policy.
One possible outcome is that the U.S. rules could prevent trades from being cleared in the EU, in turn activating EU rules that would prevent them from being cleared in the U.S., placing banks in a legal quandary, according to the official.
Some finance chiefs have even said they are worried about travel to the U.S, given that they could be deemed in breach of its rules and prosecuted, said the official, who did not name the companies or individuals involved.

Only in the last couple of days have I beared any resemblance to a human being. The past few weeks have been an absolute whirlwind of travelling
Only in the last couple of days have I beared any resemblance to a human being. The past few weeks have been an absolute whirlwind of travelling
The new year! A year so far filled with broken resolutions
So, here's the thing. Resolutions are all fine and well, but it's very hard to keep one resolution [let's say - eating healthily] when it directly contradicts another resolution [blogging more often]
I've just snuck in with my Christmas post before the deadline – I'm actually writing this from my on-call room at work, whilst things are all settled and nobody's sick [a Christmas miracle!].
We take our Christmas drinking seriously in my family. Champagne for breakfast (naturally), wine with Christmas lunch, a gin and tonic later on as we're settling in to play a board game, and then, at some point, my Dad will offer to make a round of Irish coffees.
So this month started off rather inauspiciously, as I spilled an entire carton of soup inside my handbag on my way to work.
Confession. I may have gone SLIGHTLY overboard with this whole autumnal thing.
Could it get any better? Gin & tonic with lots of ice, blazing sunshine with a breeze, and ferociously competitive Rummikub games [I am the one, the only, the Master of Tiles].
So a couple of months ago my sister and I popped along to Paris and I'm only just telling you about it.
My home for the month of May treated me very well indeed, and by very well, I mean my average burrito consumption was 0.75 burritos a week.

We started with a walking tour of Viviers, a village of about 5000 people. Narrow streets, old buildings, the church dating back to the 14(?) century. The walk spiralled up to the cathedral, which is the smallest one in France. Here, we were treated to an organ recital in the cathedral-what beautiful acoustics!
in the afternoon, we had a quick French cooking class - crepe ...

Touch Screen Becoming Intermittently Unresponsive
Hello All,
Has anyone else had this problem, my touch screen on my N7 is unresponsive sometimes, and I do not mean like software running show or typing on a web page, I'll open a form or Google and when I tap in an area to type I get nothing sometimes, the cursor doesn't move the keyboard doesn't appear on the screen, it's as if I didn't touch it at all. Not a real big problem yet as it is pretty intermittent but I can not help wondering if one day soon it will just stop responding all together. Though it would be an excuse to buy a new tablet...... if I can get my girlfriend to believe that anyway

The "Small World Machines" provided a live communications portal linking strangers in two nations divided by more than just borders, with the hope of provoking a small moment of happiness and promoting cultural understanding around the world.

|[jira] Commented: (SOLR-2010) Improvements to SpellCheckComponent Collate functionality
|Thu, 30 Sep 2010 14:37:37 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2010?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12916492#action_12916492 ] Grant Ingersoll commented on SOLR-2010: --------------------------------------- James, For the two diff. approaches, did you do any testing to get a sense of which performs better? It seems to me that the recombine one, while overfetching some, would likely be faster overall b/c it avoids all the extra shard communication. Of course, it may be the case that for some setups, one works better than the other. i.e. small sharded systems can afford the second call, while large systems should avoid the second fan-out/in. Which, of course, makes me wonder how hard it would be to give people both and let them specify based on an input parameter or by having two different components derived off of SpellCheckComponent? Thoughts? In that approach, we could have SCC be just for single node instances and then the other two inherit from it to provide users the choice of distributed approaches. Since you have the code for both already, what do you think? Otherwise, I've looked at the recombine approach and it seems pretty solid from a "ready to commit" standpoint. > Improvements to SpellCheckComponent Collate functionality > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-2010 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2010 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: clients - java, spellchecker > Affects Versions: 1.4.1 > Environment: Tested against trunk revision 966633 > Reporter: James Dyer > Assignee: Grant Ingersoll > Priority: Minor > Attachments: SOLR-2010.patch, SOLR-2010.patch, SOLR-2010.patch, SOLR-2010.patch, SOLR-2010.txt, SOLR-2010_141.patch, SOLR-2010_shardRecombineCollations_993538.patch, SOLR-2010_shardRecombineCollations_999521.patch, SOLR-2010_shardSearchHandler_993538.patch, SOLR-2010_shardSearchHandler_999521.patch > > > Improvements to SpellCheckComponent Collate functionality > Our project requires a better Spell Check Collator. I'm contributing this as a patch to get suggestions for improvements and in case there is a broader need for these features. > 1. Only return collations that are guaranteed to result in hits if re-queried (applying original fq params also). This is especially helpful when there is more than one correction per query. The 1.4 behavior does not verify that a particular combination will actually return hits. > 2. Provide the option to get multiple collation suggestions > 3. Provide extended collation results including the # of hits re-querying will return and a breakdown of each misspelled word and its correction. > This patch is similar to what is described in SOLR-507 item #1. Also, this patch provides a viable workaround for the problem discussed in SOLR-1074. A dictionary could be created that combines the terms from the multiple fields. The collator then would prune out any spurious suggestions this would cause. > This patch adds the following spellcheck parameters: > 1. spellcheck.maxCollationTries - maximum # of collation possibilities to try before giving up. Lower values ensure better performance. Higher values may be necessary to find a collation that can return results. Default is 0, which maintains backwards-compatible behavior (do not check collations). > 2. spellcheck.maxCollations - maximum # of collations to return. Default is 1, which maintains backwards-compatible behavior. > 3. spellcheck.collateExtendedResult - if true, returns an expanded response format detailing collations found. default is false, which maintains backwards-compatible behavior. When true, output is like this (in context): > <lst name="spellcheck"> > <lst name="suggestions"> > <lst name="hopq"> > <int name="numFound">94</int> > <int name="startOffset">7</int> > <int name="endOffset">11</int> > <arr name="suggestion"> > <str>hope</str> > <str>how</str> > <str>hope</str> > <str>chops</str> > <str>hoped</str> > etc > </arr> > <lst name="faill"> > <int name="numFound">100</int> > <int name="startOffset">16</int> > <int name="endOffset">21</int> > <arr name="suggestion"> > <str>fall</str> > <str>fails</str> > <str>fail</str> > <str>fill</str> > <str>faith</str> > <str>all</str> > etc > </arr> > </lst> > <lst name="collation"> > <str name="collationQuery">Title:(how AND fails)</str> > <int name="hits">2</int> > <lst name="misspellingsAndCorrections"> > <str name="hopq">how</str> > <str name="faill">fails</str> > </lst> > </lst> > <lst name="collation"> > <str name="collationQuery">Title:(hope AND faith)</str> > <int name="hits">2</int> > <lst name="misspellingsAndCorrections"> > <str name="hopq">hope</str> > <str name="faill">faith</str> > </lst> > </lst> > <lst name="collation"> > <str name="collationQuery">Title:(chops AND all)</str> > <int name="hits">1</int> > <lst name="misspellingsAndCorrections"> > <str name="hopq">chops</str> > <str name="faill">all</str> > </lst> > </lst> > </lst> > </lst> > In addition, SOLRJ is updated to include SpellCheckResponse.getCollatedResults(), which will return the expanded Collation format. getCollatedResult(), which returns a single String, is retained for backwards-compatibility.

Now, it is a great claim to make. If some woman with tarot cards can't predict my future then how am I or anyone else meant to believe that a sitting test can do it instead? However, there is something to be said for how our ability to do simple exercise can highlight how our body will weather through the many years of our lives.
The sitting-rising test (SRT) is very simple in its design and it requires no equipment or skill. You can simply follow along at home (make sure to be barefoot). But a word of warning about this test – your hips and knees are out of alignment with the rest of your body when you do this test. That means it could be harmful, especially if you have arthritis or other joint problems – don't try it.
Step 1: with your hands straight in front of you lower yourself to the floor without using your hands or knees. Then sit on the floor with your legs crossed.
Step 2: now try to rise up from the ground without using your arms again, only your legs.
Like I said, this test is very simple but it can prove difficult. The catch is that while you do it, no other part of your body can touch the floor. We have become so used to rising and sitting (albeit not from the floor) that we never think how hard it might be if we couldn't use our arms, or moving onto our knees first. That's why this test actually reveals more about your health than you would think. It turns out that muscle strength and balance, on the whole, mirror our general health status.
In a study published in the European Journal of Cardiology, Brazilian researchers studied over 2,000 patients between the ages of 51 to 80 for six years and watched as they did the SRT. They discovered something very interesting. When the patients were doing the test they started with a score of 10, and the more errors that occurred the lower their score would get. So, for example, if they used their hands or knees to get up they had points deducted. This showed that people who scored less than eight points were twice as likely to die sooner than those above eight. However, for those who scored below three were five times more likely to die sooner.
So if you did the test again but started with 10 points, what would you get? Well, the deduction of points goes like this. The sitting and rising parts of the test have 5 points each. If you have to use your hands, forearms, side of the legs or knee you have 1 point subtracted each time. If you put your hand on your knee or thigh to level yourself up, it's also a point, Or, if your hands touch any part of your body, you also have half points subtracted for any loss of balance.
The outcome of the number you get on your score could indicate how healthy you are and also how long you might live for. If you get between 8-10 you most likely are in great health and will have a high life expectancy. If you score from 3-7, you are fairly healthy but have a higher risk of dying younger than those in the 8-10 range. And if you score 3 or below you most likely have poor health and possibly a shorter life expectancy.
However, it's never too late to change your score and going up by one score can improve your life expectancy greatly.
The exercise is able to show leg strength and lower-body fitness and is directed towards the old age range to test musculoskeletal fitness. Nevertheless, it is only an estimate and isn't indicative of how long you will live. However, if you do want to get a bit higher on the test try adding more exercise into your daily routine and see how positively your body will respond.

Excellent Service & Food Quality - REGENT Singapore
As a wedding videographer, we're always looking to film weddings at gorgeous venues and Regent Singapore is a venue we would always look forward to film at. The ballroom is well-lit and gorgeously decorated; The service crew are helpful and attentive; The food quality is tantalising to anyone's tastes buds. Those who've attended a wedding luncheon or dinner reception there would definitely agree with me.
25 December 2016 | Bride at Ben & Sarah Wedding
Beautiful wedding, great attention to detail & service!
We held our wedding at the Regent Hotel in October. From the beginning we loved how the lobby has a classy Great Gatsby feeling. We met Willius our wedding coordinator and he was so attentive to all our requests and questions. Willies was really responsive and we always felt like we were in good hands. Another big plus was the beautiful wedding themes which you could choose from at Regent - we didn't have any additional decoration and had a lavish ballroom for our wedding. On the actual wedding day, the banquet coordinator was always attentive to our needs and helped coordinating to cue us for the march-ins. The bar manager was also really friendly and gave us great service. All our guest really enjoyed the wedding and the venue.. they also raved about the tasty food! All in all, I would recommend the Regent Hotel to all couples for their outstanding service
15 December 2016 | Bride at Poh & Qing Wedding
Excellent service!
Sorry for the late review, we just came back from our honeymoon which is also booked from Regent. We had wedding lunch on 25 September 2016, our coordinator was Willius. He was really helpful and gave us lots of advise. His response was really quick, almost on the same day I sent inquires. After decided our wedding in Regent, everything went very smoothly. No need to worry about the service, no need to worry about the food, no need to worry about the decoration, another surprise is no need to worry about honeymoon! A good beginning makes a good ending. Our guests were very satisfied with the service and food! Actually this is the most important thing for us. Every guests smiling have been captured in our photo book! Thank you, Willius! Because of you and your team, we won't never forget the happy moment in Regent! ** Hi, if you are still headache for planning your big day, just look for Willius!
27 November 2016 | Bride at Bo Liang & Grace Wedding
Awesome wedding experience
We held our wedding lunch in Regent on 5 Nov 2016. Our coordinator was Willius and he was wonderful! He was always prompt in his replies and took the initiative to inform us on when we needed to make certain decisions etc. We were especially grateful for his help as we needed to make some last minutes changes to the banquet 2 days before our wedding and the hotel acceded to our request. The hotel also took note of our remarks during food tasting and the food was tweaked accordingly. All our guests were pleased with the food quality and portion. The cod fish in teriyaki sauce and chicken bi feng tang received rave reviews. The theme that we chose-Timeless Romance which was like a fairytale garden theme was really gorgeous both in pictures and real life. The themes available and food were the main reasons why we chose Regent. My guests were all really impressed with the decor. I had a live band so the whole atmosphere together with the theme was wonderful! The service on that day was really good as well. The banquet manager and his team were really helpful and guided us on what to do so that everything went on smoothly. The manager even provided a glass of lemon water for my husband when he had too much drinks. Kudos to the team! All in all, my husband and I are happy that we chose Regent as our wedding venue and we would not hesitate to recommend Willius and his team. Thank you for making our wedding a day to remember!

Wedding Dinner at Regent Singapore
Our sales coordinator was Sophia, and she was very helpful during the whole preparation process during the past few months. Her response was quick (usually within 2 working days) on any queries that i had, and when I called her urgently to enquire about something, she was also able to assist on the spot. She was always punctual for our meetings and was very friendly and was all smiles even though we had some last min changes even 2 days before the wedding. On our wedding day, everything went well from the time we entered the hotel in the afternoon. We texted the person-in-charge that we would be reaching the hotel in 15 mins, and when we reached, the lady in charge of escorting us was already waiting at the lobby. We were escorted up to our room and the hotel staff had already completed our check in for us prior to our arrival. Our ballroom was at the lobby level, and the reception area had chairs for guests to sit down. Initially, I thought it may be a little weird to have tables and chairs, but it turned out very well as some of our guests are elderly and may not be able to stand for long. It is also good for other guests so that they do not get tired from standing for too long during the cocktail. The lighting for not too bright or dark, it was just right to have the cosy and warm ambience. We were also given a Martini Bar for our cocktail reception and our guests were fascinated by how the bartender prepared the drinks via a big ice sculpture. And I would also add that their Lychee Martini was really good. Our banquet manager, Ian, was very helpful. He gave us a glass of warm water to calm us before the banquet started. We had some hiccups during the banquet and he managed to handle them with ease. He also made efforts to calm us down and assure us all would be fine when he sensed that we were nervous and panicky. Even the banquet staff also made efforts to calm our emotions when they were outside the ballroom with us. When time was overrun, Ian would make an effort to remind us and speed up the process so that we do not drag on for too long. Everything for the night (march in songs, videos, opening of doors etc) were all coordinated very well. Overall, it was a very good experience in Regent Singapore. The food was good, the ambience and ballroom decor were perfect, the staff were professional and friendly. Out of so many hotels in Singapore, Regent definitely has the best ballroom decor. Their decor does not just consist of simple lightings, but they used actual real live props to transform the ballroom according to the themes they offer. It was also one of the main reasons why we chose to hold our wedding here. We really appreciate the hard work of all the hotel's staff to make our wedding a memorable one.

Regent Hotel Wedding Venue, Planning & Actual Day Management
My apologise for this late review, overall we had an awesome experience with Regent Hotel Singapore. Venue: The venue decorations theme that they provide are mostly very dreamy and elegant. They are very flexible to allow us to schedule a few dates to view different layout and we were satisfied with elements of emotions. Hence, we chose element of emotions (The drape cloth with lighting). Most of their settings are up to expectation which we do not need to engage other vendor to add on other decorations. Planning: We had Willius to assist us on our wedding planning. He is very prompt and fast in responding to our enquiries, he also assisted us to vet through our programme, arrange rehearsal and ensuring most of our things are in place. At times, we have too much on hand, he would give reminder to make sure that we will not miss out any important things for the actual day. I appreciate Willius and his team for all the help extended to us. Management on Actual Day: Pretty much the rehearsal, Willius and his team gave as a feel of how will it be like on the actual day. As we dedicated a person from our side to liaise with Regent team on the actual wedding day, everything goes well as planned. The team guided and check with us on last minute decision making and other details that need to be taken of. Our march in, the cue time to stop the musics, lighting and every other tiny details were all in place. Really grateful that we face lesser hiccups and things are possibly smooth and manageable with the help of Regent Hotel Singapore. thank you for being part of our special day.

Hi guys,
Well I thought of a fun,creative and exciting thing to do
Create your own LD character!!!
But there is 2 rules
1st rule : Don't make the cards too overpowered.... if you do that make a good backslash ability
2nd rule : There is no other rules other than the first rule
So get started and maybe UR may just pick your card.....
Hotaru Ld
Fang Pi Clang
4* 7/5: Ability: Support: -3 opp attack min. 10
Monique Ld (Can jump over buildings)
4* 8/4: Ability: Defeat: +3 Pillz
Did not complete confidence
I've seen some Ld missions on the thread before, and I hadn't thought of any for my card at the time (see post 137 for card details). Now that I have had time to make them up, I figured I'd post them here:
Name: Donovan Ld
Clan: Sentinel

On the Tangradi Return
Kevin McCartney
October 06 2014 05:18PM
After clearing waivers, Eric Tangradi was dealt to the Habs for a sinking prospect and a backup goalie with a salary $350K richer and a career save percentage 7 points lower than the last guy. Perhaps most strange is that Tangradi was among the Jets very best neutral zone players. His zone entries hovered around 7th among forwards despite limited ice time and poor linemates, and his possession numbers put him in the top-5 among Jets' forwards last year (and 8th the year before). His limitations are obvious, but he put the puck in the right end of the ice more often than not as a fourth liner and that has value.
So the question is, why the trade? What does it tell us about Paul Maurice's intentions for this season, his coaching preferences, and the direction of the team?
The Right Deal?
The Jets waived Peter Budaj today, indicating he's at best #3 on the depth chart. With the team desperately in need of a marquee goaltender, we can hope that he's a useful support for Connor Hellebuyck but doesn't impede his opportunity at the net - especially with Eric Comrie turning pro next season. The team needs answers and development, not more questions and waiting.
We can imagine Budaj is the first call-up in case of injury, though, which is what he should be if you believe Eyes on the Prize. Budaj's career .903 save percentage puts him at the level of an NHL call-up goaltender according to their research - a good AHL goalie, a bad NHL one. That career number includes two seasons as the de facto starter on a bad Avalanche team, both sub-.900 seasons, so it may not be fair. His more recent work - a .910 as a backup in 3 years in Montreal - puts him in average NHL back-up territory and ties him with Al Montoya's career number.
Patrick Holland is a reasonable depth addition considering Tangradi was being flushed by the Jets. A 1992 birthday who exploded in his draft +2 season, Holland finished 6th in WHL scoring with 109 points in 2012/13. His turn to pro has come with injury troubles and a drop in his offence. Once known for his hockey IQ, two-way ability, and exceptional passing, Holland fell down a poor Hamilton Bulldogs roster and lost his PP time in his second pro season. He might be a Mitch Holmberg-type for those of you watching the Oilers this pre-season. He won't replace the offence or veteran presence of IceCaps standouts like Jerome Samson or Andrew Gordon from last year, but he adds to the team's forward depth and we can hope he provides some shelter for the many new professionals debuting with the club. He's a 'tweener' and so is unlikely to ever make the NHL. But he's still only 22 and has 2nd line AHL potential.
It's fair to question the additions made, and Tangradi might have been the best player in the deal. But ultimately, the Jets acquired Tangradi for a 7th and eventually moved him for a player at a more shallow position. It's a hockey deal with unwanted assets from both sides.
The System
We know that Maurice intends to be fast, and Eric Tangradi is not fast. When Paul Maurice took the job, he noted that he was excited about having a young, fast, big team. TJ Galiardi and Matt Halischuk remain with the team despite having their own visible limitations. Matthieu Perreault is not necessarily a faster skater than Jokinen, but we can be sure he moves in more straight lines. Kane and Wheeler are together after years of attacking with speed from an outside lane solo. Maurice has preached simple outs, speed through the neutral zone, and straight lines in attacking to the net. Tangradi is more of a rumbling player who eventually finds a corner for 30 seconds of filler effort.
If we leave it at that - Maurice wants something this player doesn't have - it's a sound move. The 'fitness = playoffs' drum has been sounded often this pre-season, and it's reasonable to assume that Tangradi's skating fitness wasn't ideal for Maurice's system either. He's never been known for his range or stamina.
At the same time, players like Galiardi and Halischuk are known for their extremely poor possession results. Adam Lowry - another candidate to take a bottom-six role this season - is a rookie with just 73 professional games of experience and isn't likely to (or expected to) push the flow of play for some time.
A move as small as shipping Tangradi out of town signals that the organization is even less interested in possession and control of play than they were this time last year, but are equally or more concerned about scoring chances as a metric of effective play. (That may excite or disappoint – it's a matter of perspective and preference)
The Consequence
Eric Tangradi was having limited impact on the Jets. Playing under 10 minutes night, he managed just 6 points last season. Even if we all agreed his replacement was a downgrade, the consequence would be a matter of a few goals at most over a whole season.
Instead, what is of interest to me is the value this management and coaching group have placed on skating and on scoring chances. Paul Maurice is hardly the first coach to ever consider trying hard, being fit, and getting chances to score as a recipe for success. But at the same moment the Jets are replacing a possession player with a speed player, John Tortorella is living on buy out money and the Maple Leafs are handing control of the systems to the assistants Randy Carlyle didn't get to pick after both coaches chose speed and scoring chances over possession. Teams are hiring analytics gurus – a crowd that has lauded Tangradi as a 4th liner and lobbied against bloated contracts for replacement level players like Budaj – while the Jets are convinced that simplicity, gumption, and skating will be the difference.
The team had a predictable pattern last year, including notable offensive brown-outs against teams that play above the puck in defensive transition. Against the Wild, Kings, Blues and Lightning, the team went 4-9-3 with an average of 2 goals per game (just 1.3 goals per game in the 12 losses). Despite all the rhetoric about change and the hope for a new coach, is it possible a move as simple as Eric Tangradi for Peter Budaj signals the continuation of those same structural problems? Those teams with aggressive forechecks, vertical speed styles, or who play to the man in defensive transition got burned a little more often. We saw the team go 8-2-1 against the Ducks, Coyotes, Leafs, and Oilers last season. In that way, the team moved in fits and starts to an 11th place Western conference finish. Consistency was said to be a problem, but in truth, the team was extremely consistent in everything but who they played.
The challenge for the Jets is identifying players who help in every game against every opponent. Moving Tangradi to give a roster spot to Halischuk is just picking which teams to be effective against.
For what it is worth Maurice went out of his way to say that Tangradi showed up to camp with excellent conditioning.
I'll cop to being a big Tangradi fan, you keep guys like him around because they will always be near league minimum, always clear waivers, and never be a liability on the roster if you need to move them around the depth chart for injuries.
I will take it as a given that he is superior at playing the sport of hockey to Thorburn and Peluso. I understand that some may believe that the extra finishing that you get with a player like Halischuk makes up for the dumpster-fire his play is when trying to get out of the zone or stay in the opposing end, those people are wrong though. He is not as good as TJ or O'Dell certainly, but neither of them are likely to clear waivers and the return on this trade being a player that is waiver-exempt is, in my opinion, not a coincidence.
The Jets lost a player better than some of their active roster and that acts as a useful roster management tool, a net financial loss of around 700K, and a goaltender that is likely worse than Danny Taylor whom they could have had on a two-way for league minimum and less that 100K in the minors. This is not a disaster but it is kind of stupid and pointless.
Also, Galiardi is not a particularly poor possession player. His CorsiRel numbers are not great as a Shark but the Sharks are the Sharks. He was one of the best possession players for the Flames.
At worst he is a middling possession guy I think, probably a bit of a driver of play. Certainly not a Halischuk black-hole type.
Did you just write an entire article explaining why the Jets are a worse team because they unloaded Tangredi? Must have been a slow day.

"the organization is even less interested in possession and control of play than they were this time last year, but are equally or more concerned about scoring chances as a metric of effective play."
If the Jets improve their scoring chances (as a metric) won't their team CORSI also improve?
"the organization is even less interested in possession and control of play than they were this time last year, but are equally or more concerned about scoring chances as a metric of effective play."
If the Jets improve their scoring chances (as a metric) won't their team CORSI also improve?
Their Corsi will likely improve if they improve their net scoring chances, not only their chances generated for themselves. Furthermore if they play a speed game with a lot of transition but no ability to keep the zone or exit their own zone they will surrender a lot of sustained pressure time. That will be hard on their Corsi, possibly without skewing the scoring chance numbers that much.
Also, with Pavelec in net the Jets are a lot better off playing low-event hockey, their goaltending is bad.
October 07 2014, 10:08AM
I guess I expect that improving the Jets scoring chances means more of their own and limiting the opposition chances. I completely agree that low event hockey is probably a better strategy for the Jets. It's boring, but effective.

FiTR's Virtual Drive-In Movie Theater - Join Us for the Hilarious Refreshment Commercials
South Park's Mr. Hankey?
Anyone who ever found themselves at a drive-in movie as a kid or teen will never forget it. The coziness of the car on a warm summer night, windows rolled down, with the soundtrack oddly blasting over the car radio. The movies -- and they were often B flicks or reruns on consecutive, all-night programs -- were almost beside the point.When this commercial was made in the '50s, pizza was a novel new food for most Americans. Note: The characterization of Italian-Americans verges on the offensive.
On a date, you could smooch or pet or even more, and drive-ins became associated with adolescent eroticism. For younger kids, there was a playground, and a chance to run free in a darkened landscape of cars, spying on the adolescents making out, or playing hide-and-seek or tag.
The most exciting part of the evening was often the visit to the refreshment stand, where wondrous food products not usually eaten in the home were for sale. Before the invention of microwave popcorn, the movie theater was where most people enjoyed it -- and doubly at the drive-in. Pizzas and hamburgers were other staples of the comically crude and limited menu.
And the drive-in theaters advertised their concession stands with the most amazingly crappy commercial come-ons you could imagine. Even then they looked crude in the extreme, homemade ads with overenthusiastic announcers, and food that looked like cardboard.
In retrospect these ads are refreshing in the simplicity of the message -- no star endorsements, no lengthy drug-company disclaimers, no special effects, unfolding at a leisurely pace, because you were a captive audience. Sure the food was awful, as you can tell from the pictures, but the patrons loved it, and they loved climbing out of the car and heading for the concessions stand during the intermissions between flicks.
In the 1960s there were over 4,000 drive-in movie theaters in the United States. Sadly, that number has declined to 371 today. If you want to find one, go to driveinmovie.com.
The next feature: More drive-in movie commercials!
