An udder smack occurs when a woman with gigantic hooters proceeds to fling her huge boob across a man's face leaving a nipple imprint.
BoQuifa was getting tired of Tony's cheating so she flung her saggy jug across his face knocking him unconcious. He then later stated, "Damn, what an udder smack!"

1971 Plymouth Roadrunner Flint Mi. , 440 6 pack, for sale, Auto Appraisal, Jason Phillips
This vary rare (only 109 produced) 1971 V code Roadrunner ran well (code E87=385hp), This 440 6 pack engine was just rebuilt, although it's still in need of some carb tuning and could stand a timing adjustment. It holds the road nice, and will brake well with a good bleed out. I accidentally called it a Dana, but it's really an 8 3/4 rear, that you can hear a little gear whine in the video. The upside is that it's a real beauty in it's factory original Hemi Orange with a slight pearl in the clearcoat. This is one of the cleanest, straightest bodies I've seen in a Mopar. The whole car was rotissaried in body color, including body color wheel wells. Tuned and timed on a fresh motor build, this car is for sale, $47,500.00. http://www.autoappraise.com 800-301-3886

Good but not great 07/11/2010
This review is from: SONY Laptop VAIO E Series VPCEB17FX/B Intel Core i3 1st Gen 330M (2.13 GHz) 4 GB Memory 500 GB HDD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 15.5" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Intel i3 is a solid processor with the ability to perform many functions without delay. The 500GB hard drive is big enough to store most everything except for the avid Blu-Ray and DVD storage freaks. Finally, 4GB of memory and the entry level ATI 5470 video card allow for quick execution and few delays. Finally, the 1900 x 1080 LCD screen is very clear and detailed.
The ergonomics are all wrong for me; the mousepad is irrationally centered to the left of the keyboard, the three USB ports all all clustered tightly on the right-hand side of the computer, the power cord placement is weird, and the power on-off button is too easy to accidentally hit. Fit and finish are too plasticy and the installed bloatware is terrible (good luck getting those .dlls and hidden attributes removed). Uninstall removes the program but not its extensive fingerprints in the hard drive and registry.
Other Thoughts:
I love SONY products but this is just not the computer I expected. Since the price dropped after I got it, it might be a 4 egg rating for you. My friend owns the 16.4" i7 SONY and its definitely worth the extra cash and upgrade in quality.

Eritrea, 30 April 2012: UNICEF Deputy Executive Director visits Eritrea
ASMARA, Eritrea, 30 April 2012 – UNICEF Deputy Executive Director, Yoka Brandt visited Eritrea to discuss the situation of children in the country with senior government officials and to get first-hand impressions of UNICEF-supported programmes.
Ms. Brandt, who was accompanied by the UNICEF Regional Director for Eastern and Southern Africa, Elhadj As Sy and UNICEF Eritrea Representative, Hamid El-Bashir, met with the President of the State of Eritrea, Mr. Isaias Aferwerki and other key government ministers. Ms. Brandt also visited a UNICEF-supported health facility in the community of Serejeka, outside of Asmara, which serves more than 6,500 members of the community. The Ministry of Health in partnership with UNICEF provides among other services, Community Based Therapeutic Feeding (CBTF) to children aged 6-59 months.
"It is truly amazing to see how rapidly malnourished children recover in a short period of only two weeks, how they gain weight and how their overall health status improves," Ms. Brandt said.
Ms. Brandt also met with members of the diplomatic corps, based in Asmara as well as the UN country team (UNCT) to brief them on her meetings with the government and discuss the UN's work in Eritrea.
Eritrea is one of three sub Saharan African countries on track to achieve MDG 4 (child health) and also to meet the MDG in water supply (MDG 7). UNICEF has been operating in Eritrea since the country gained independence in 1991.
Ms. Brandt is very familiar with the situation in the country having worked there for four years with the Dutch Government, prior to joining UNICEF.

But this is no longer possible. There is a battle on for Britain, and for England, and we must make sure that we win it. Defeat would not bring us Balkan-style war, but it would make life on our small island much more unpleasant. The battle lines are becoming daily more clear. It is time to engage.
Above all it is time for England to engage, for we are Chesterton's "people of England that never have spoken yet". The English have been the silent and uninvited guests at the devolutionary feast. Scotland has a parliament, Wales an assembly, while England gets only some regional quangos. A striking feature of the devolution legislation has been its total neglect of the union (and English) dimension.
Scottish over-representation at Westminster is to be reduced, but Scotland retains a secretary of state as well as acquiring a parliament, while England has neither; the West Lothian question (why should Scottish MPs vote on English matters when English MPs can't vote on Scottish ones?) remains unanswered; and the public-spending formula continues to be over- generous to Scotland. Whatever the devolution settlement was, it was clearly not a settlement. And it leaves the English Question unresolved.
This is the question of where England fits into the new union that is now being created, and what kind of England will make its distinctive contribution to this union. If it's a surly English nationalism, then the new union state will be in trouble from the start. The chances of creating what Gladstone a century ago called "a partnership of four nations" will be bleak. Instead it will soon become a bad-tempered failure.
But if England puts its inevitable dominance (with 85 per cent of the UK population and 529 out of 659 MPs) to imaginative use in the service of the new union, then the prospects are transformed.
We have to admit that the English never really got the hang of the old union. They thought that Britain was just England by another name. On his best-selling travels, the American writer Bill Bryson came upon the grave of Asquith in an Oxfordshire churchyard and was surprised that the headstone described this British figure at the height of empire as Prime Minister of England. Bagehot's famous book of the 1860s was called The English Constitution. Britain has been a contrivance; England an identity.
But what kind of identity? It's difficult not to be confessional here. I am irredeemably English. There is nothing I can do about it. In Orwell's words, suet puddings and red pillarboxes have entered my soul. But I am also aware that I like one kind of Englishness as much as I dislike another kind. My England is about quiet patriotism and undemonstrative decency. It's the sort that says "still, mustn't grumble", trades in gentle irony, knows that it takes all sorts, believes in fair play, distrusts fundamentalists and tries to make things work. This is the kind of Englishness that makes living in England so agreeable.
There is another kind, however, much less appealing. This Englishness always believes somebody (usually foreign) is diddling them. It's smug, arrogant and excluding. Its language is that of the "home counties" and the "provinces".
Why does this matter now? Because devolution has given this kind of unlovely Englishness a new lease of life. English nationalism joins hands with the separatists in wanting the new union to fail. Their demand for the chimera of an English parliament is the refusal of a certain kind of (southern) Englishness to recognise the democratic claims of what Orwell called "the England that is only just beneath the surface".
It is this other England that now has to speak. When it does, it will attend sensibly to the need to represent England in the new union. This may mean procedural changes at Westminster; it will certainly mean radical decentralisation within England. But there need be no uniformity. The evolving union is messy and lopsided - and all the better for it.
Living with anomalies and preferring common sense to logical abstractions is said to be what the political genius of the English is all about. In the words of Burke, the Irish father of English conservatism, "it is in the nature of all greatness not to be exact."

Ah yes, season 7. This was the season where 24 really jumped the proverbial shark, in more ways the one. To start, the producers thought they�d flip the M.O. up by moving the location from L.A. to Washington D.C. Sweet, I can jive with that. Then they decide to go ahead and dismantle CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit), the elite government agency that Bauer and his badass crew operate within. Again, this would be all well and good, if they decided to replace it with something cooler. But in what had to be the most colossal case of 'writer�s block' the world has ever known, the 24 production team went ahead and replaced CTU with�the vastly inferior and eponentially duller FBI??? Good idea guys.
There�s plenty more to bitch about. We get about eight big villains this season. One rises, then after 3 or 4 episodes he/she dies, and a new baddie steps in; you know- the guy who was �really pulling the strings�. That new guy dies a few episodes later and then another guy steps in who was �really REALLY pulling the strings�, repeat, and so on (I will say though was nice to see Jon Voight in there as one of said villains).
This would be fine if we were watching Lost or CSI. But keep in mind each season plays out in real time, over one 24-hour span. How much shit can go wrong in one day? How many people could really have their finger in the pie?! I much preferred the earlier seasons, when the writers respected their audience a bit more, and gave us one or two ultimate villains, and let the season build and build with a singular, simple conflict until the season finale. But what really, REALLY grinded my gears was the repeated debate, at least once every episode (no exaggeration) of whether or not torture is morally justifiable. It�s like the writers were so hurt by the criticism they received last season, that they decided this year to defend themselves through their characters dialogue. Over and over. Big no-no guys; this show ain�t about you.
So, anything good about this season? Hell yeah! It�s still Jack Bauer, hands down the fiercest, smartest, angriest take-no-shit badass on television. We still get plenty of intense action, gunplay and suspense (maybe more than usual even), and in a new development this year...a bit of the gushy emotional stuff as well, even if half the actors couldn�t pull it off (I'm looking at YOU Renee and president's daughter).
I�m still a 24 fan for life, I�ll watch it till it dies (probably soon). Till then, lets just hope the writers can get back to basics and stick with the formula that worked the first few go-arounds.
The Fimucit� Festival Presents: The Music of 24 (13:05) - Found on disc 1. 24 composer Sean Callery and the Tenerife Film Orchestra & Choir give us a live stage performance, intercut with some cool scenes from this season. His score was one of the few things I did not have a problem with this year, and while this composition doesn�t sound like anything lifted straight out of the show, it is an intense piece and a wonderful listen.
Hour 19: �The Ambush� (12:46) - Found on disc 5. A detailed look at the lengthy and complex preparation for a massive explosion in one scene. Pyrotechnics are pretty sweet, but after this, I never want to get involved with them. Just save me a lawn chair and call me right before the big bang.
24-7: The Untold Story (15:48) - Found on disc 6. A shockingly honest, tell-all look into how the horrendous season 7 was created. The writers/producers confirm my suspicions and start off mentioning how they did this in response to the negative feedback of season 6. When you start writing with a chip on your shoulder, it�s gonna come through on the page. That said, this feature is excellent in taking us through the writing process. Watch it.
Deleted Scenes (26:00) - A whole bunch of short snippets. Some are cool and some are not, but one thing�s for sure: given the show�s complex and ever-changing storyline, it�s hard to tell which scene came from what episode, or which of the 150 crises these characters are talking about.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick provided an update on running back Danny Woodhead, who injured his thumb on the first play of Sunday's game and didn't return:
"Danny was examined and back on the sideline for the remainder of the game. Had we needed to use him, he would have been available to go back in there. Now that we are into a new week, we will re-address the whole situation and try to get a good feel of what he would and wouldn't be available to do, and how functional he would be doing it. So I would say that's something we'll have to look at during the week. Assuming the doctors clear him to play, which is a medical decision, then the next situation would be from a football decision, what can he do and how well can he do it? What is he, and we, comfortable with him doing in this week's game/game-plan. That would all be determined at a later point in time."

Extreme Close Quarter Concepts (ECQC)
The ShivWorks Extreme Close Quarter Concepts (ECQC) course is a three day block of instruction which focuses on a multi-disciplinary approach to building functional, combative handgun skills at zero to five feet. The course is designed to instill core concepts of seamless integration and provide the platform for aggressive problem solving during a life or death struggle. A heavy emphasis is placed upon commonality of body mechanics between skill sub-sets, which means
that all combative software is reinforcing. Once the students skill sets are initially ingrained, the participant will be stress inoculated with force on force drills utilizing Simunitions and protective equipment.
Topics covered include:
Introduction to the components of the Combative Drawstroke
Building the #2 position in live-fire
Firing throughout the horizontal line of presentation
Off-hand fending positions
Default position
Basic empty hand blows
Theory of in-fight weapon access
Grounded basics
Challenging the potential attacker
Preemptive weapon access
Muzzle aversion within draw-stroke
Negotiating the F.U.T.
ECQ Handgun retention in holster
ECQ handgun retention out of holster
Handgun recovery
Handgun striking
Equipment required
Holster, pistol, two magazines, eye & ear protection, heavy sweatshirt or soft
body armor, mouthpiece and cup, 200 rounds of ammo.
This class is not recommended for beginning
shooters and prior documented training or instructor approval is required.
Students should be relatively fit as this is a contact class. Most of the latter half of each day will be spent utilizing Simunition marking cartridges and FIST helmets, to allow the students to gain confidence in applying their newly acquired skills against moving aggressive opponents.
Cost is $400 plus the range fee.

So, what was the joke?
This is a discussion on Dinner 'and' a Show within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; The wife and I went to the Golden Corral, in Fort Smith last Wednesday, with our church group and had a tense moment while eating ...
The wife and I went to the Golden Corral, in Fort Smith last Wednesday, with our church group and had a tense moment while eating there. There was about a dozen of us, mostly older folks; the wife and myself being by far the youngest in our late forties. We had all gotten a long table towards the back to eat at and during our meal I watched a lone man, dressed like he was homeless sit alone at a table, not far from us to eat.
He was facing the window and talked to himself through out his whole meal. When he got done eating, he turned sideways in his chair and just stared at us for a good while; the wive noticed as well and placed her elbow in my side to make sure she and I were on the same page.
The man finally stood up and while looking straight at me, came toward us. At the same time he went for something in his back pocket with his right hand. I dropped my fork and lowered my hand down towards my weapon and was just about to stand when he pulled out his wallet. The wife and I both let out a sigh of relief, as we both had been watching the man and knew something wasn't quite right about him.
From his wallet he pulls out a piece of paper with an Obama joke written on it, which he stood there and proudly read to us all. Luckily it was a clean joke and no harm was done to the little old ladies with us; nothing like dinner 'and' a show.
When we left he was still going from table to table reading his joke to people; I can only assume that he wasn't later escorted out.
John Luttrell
So, what was the joke?
The only common sense gun legislation was written about 226 years ago.
I carry always not because I go places trouble is likely, but because trouble has a habit of not staying in its assigned zone.
LOL, it was something about buying a bunch of dandruff shampoo to get rid of Obama, because it removes flakes. LOL, I couldn't help but laugh, but part of it was because he had gone from being a possible threat to just being a nut.
John Luttrell
There's a very fine line there. I'm glad your SA was up and running and all worked out well.
I was at a Mexican restaurant last night and there was a guy I had my eye on. He had been drinking and was eyeing this one lady and talkin to her and all that stupid stuff. He looked like a big sleaze ball. Not that I would have actually drawn my weapon, but it's amazing what I've learned to see and watch for over the past 3 years of carrying and all. I probably wouldn't have even seen this guy a few years ago. i'd been to wrapped up in either the TV or conversation.
Protection is a responsibility not just a right.

We make sure that PlayStation network vouchers are updated every day and we are increasing their number regularly.

You are given the option to choose the value of the gift card you want.
PlayStation Network Card Benefits
Sony Entertainment is a company well-known for its tendency to explore new things and to create products that are revolutionary and even futuristic in their nature. Such is the case with PSN cards, and these cards act as online wallets that allow customers to buy items from the Sony Entertainment Network Store.
By using these cards, customers can redeem items from the Store and use them without obtaining a physical copy of the product. Games, movies, and other items are available for people who want to spend their free time with the help of a Sony console, and digital access to these products is much more convenient than going to a store and buying a hard copy.
Our guide can help you learn about the ways in which you can get free PSN cards and vouchers that you can use to buy all kinds of items that are on display at the Store.
How to Get Free PSN Vouchers?
It is evident that the ways in which we do our shopping are evolving to a new stage, and that our everyday habits will be changed as well. Online shopping is increasingly taking over the world, and we simply have to adapt as soon as possible and start using the new technology to our maximum benefit.
Sony also accepted the fact that digital copies of their products are much more convenient than the traditional hard copies, and that is why they introduced the system of PSN vouchers and cards. Sony Entertainment Network Store was started in 2006, and it nowadays offers a wide variety of software products from the Sony's "factory".
To be able to buy games, map packs, expansions, movies, TV Shows, comics, and other items, customers need to have a PSN Account and enough vouchers to cover the cost of the product. Vouchers act as digital codes or a currency that can be used to redeem the items from the PS Store, and this system is simple and convenient.
However, PSN does not come for free, and monthly subscription can be too high for a lot of potential players and users of Sony products. Also, PSN Plus, which acts as a "premium service" is even more expensive and demanding, and the yearly subscription fee for this service is around $50.
To add even more cons to the use of those costly subscriptions, PSN cards have expiration dates, which limit the users, and they are forced to spend the money in the pre-determined time frame. Luckily for them, our guide can show them the ways in which PlayStation cards can be received completely for free, and these ways are perfectly safe and reliable.
Since there are a lot of scams on the Internet, we dedicated a lot of our time and effort to look for the best ways in which you can obtain free cards. All of these methods that are displayed in our guide are tried and tested, which means that they are completely legal and authentic.
Most of the sites that offer free PSN vouchers will require only a little bit of your time, and that's all. Your money will stay in your pocket, and you will be able to play the newest games once you use your vouchers and buy the game from the PS Store. However, these websites will require you to finish a series of simple tasks, which should not take too much of your time.
The tasks can be diverse and very original, but the most common types are watching an ad or a trailer, downloading a free app, completing surveys, subscribing to newsletters, and so on. Sites that offer the best results and where you can get your card in a quick and fun way are "Points2Shop", "PrizeRebel", "SwagBucks", "Lockerz", "Rewards1", "AppTrailers", and so on. These methods are fully legitimate, and there is no chance of downloading spyware or some other form of malicious software onto your device.
Redeeming Your Codes
The fact that PlayStation Network card can eliminate long hours of waiting in line for your favorite game or that you will no longer have to worry about scratches on that old CD which is constantly in use in your console is something that attracts customers to this new system of shopping.
As we have seen, vouchers can be acquired in many ways, and the legitimate nature of these methods means that users do not have to worry about their safety and privacy. Once they receive their cards and their PSN vouchers, they can go to the PSN Store and redeem the games or other software products from Sony Entertainment.
The process of using the vouchers is as simple as it gets, and you only have to gather enough points on the websites that offer free PSN cards before you can ask for the code that will send you your $10 or $20 valued cards. Usually, this means that you have to gather 1000 or 2000 points, respectively, to be eligible for a free card.
But, as soon as you card is approved, you can go to the PS Store and use the vouchers in any way you want. Our guide is here to help you obtain the cards, but it is up to the readers to find the best way in which they will spend their money. The offer at the PS Store can be breathtaking and overwhelming, so customers can have a hard time deciding what is it that they want. PSN Cards are not tied to your Sony Account, and PayPal is used instead, which means that safety levels are as high as possible.
PlayStation Plus Card – How to get it?
PlayStation Plus is an exclusive premium service for the customers who want to have access to the best Sony's products, and this type of account will bring you a lot of benefits. Some of those advantages include online multiplayer, online game save option (1 GB of cloud storage), exclusive discounts (up to 75%), free games every month, automatic updates, etc.
The list looks pretty impressive and no doubt that every PlayStation player would like to have access to all of these possibilities, but the "price tag" for this service is relatively high, and this makes things complicated for most users.
The fee for yearly subscription to PlayStation Plus is $50, and this means that PS Plus Cards are not something that we can all afford so easily.
However, discounts and sales are a perfect solution for those people who would like to acquire one of these Cards, and E-Bay or Amazon can offer a lot of options when it comes to these discounts. The price of PS Plus Cards can go down by half, and most of these sales have a short life span, simply because there is an enormous demand for cheap and legitimate Cards.
Best Free PSN Games of 2016
Each month a handful of games are made available for free to members of the PlayStation Network. With some inevitably being better than others, we've decided to put together a list of the best titles for 2016.
Dragon Age: Origins – PS3
A successor to the cult RPG game Baldur's Gate, Dragon Age: Origins is a role-playing game with party-based and tactical combat, heavy customization of your chosen character, as well as a rich and gritty story.
A very dark game in a fantasy setting, it features novel storytelling and a classic RPG feel. Your in-game choices and origin choice affect the world and people around you, as well as the skills you will acquire.
Grim Fandango Remastered – PS4, PS Vita
Originally released as an adventure game in 1998 by world famous LucasArts, Grim Fandango turned into a cult classic thanks to its elaborate puzzles and excellent plot.
With cleaned up textures, better lighting, objects, and characters, it's now ready for a new generation of gamers who want a taste of this vintage gem.
Saints Row: Gat out of Hell – PS4
After adventures in space, there's only one thing to do in the new Saints Row – dance with the devil. In this 3d sandbox game much like the GTA series, you fight your way through the underworld to save the soul of the Saints' leader.
This is a fast paced game full of action and explosions, but hilariously funny as well.
Journey – PS4, PS3
Challenging traditional conventions of gaming, Journey is an experience on its own. The player awakens in an unfamiliar world with the ability to walk, glide, as well as fly through an incredible looking landscape.
The goal is to reveal the mysterious history of a civilization lost to time in a stunning setting resembling ancient Egypt.
Joining forces with legendary director Spike Lee, NBA 2K16 brings a new and exciting MyCareer mode to the latest iteration of a world famous basketball game franchise.
An original story combined with the most played game mode will have players on the edge of their seats while making their way from the streets to the big leagues. NBA 2K16 also lets you take control of an entire team, as well as play with others online with new and improved graphics.

Political Variables as Instruments for the Minimum Wage
1University of Leicester, (email)
Citation Information: Contributions in Economic Analysis & Policy. Volume 4, Issue 1, ISSN (Online) 1538-0645, DOI: https://doi.org/10.2202/1538-0645.1425, December 2005

A number of recent empirical studies have found no evidence that the minimum wage adversely affects employment. Explanations for such non-negative estimates include new theoretical approaches, empirical identification and data issues. In this paper we examine the robustness of such estimates to concerns about bias arising from the simultaneous determination of employment and the minimum wage. We use a number of novel political variables as instruments to control for this source of endogeneity. We exploit the personal characteristics of the politicians voting on minimum wage bills, their voting behavior and their electoral process. Our main conclusion is that the weak relationship between minimum wages and employment does not appear to be driven by endogeneity.

Stats: Why we do what we do
Garret Hohl
March 04 2015 08:58AM
You are not a coach, scout, or general manager. Watch the game.
The numbers are imperfect and do not cover all aspects of the game. Statistics are not everything. The game isn't played on the spreadsheet. Statistics only tell you what happened. Do you think you are smarter then the coach, general manager, or scouts?
Why does the coach choose player A over player B? Why is player utilization often not evidence driven? Why are players with better results sometimes not used more than some players with worse? Why does hockey management tend to gravitate towards certain type of players?
Why does this conflict exist between the eye-test and statistics?
Let's take a look.
Whether you're using the eye-test or statistical analysis, the end goal is the same. It is about rational individuals using evidence to help optimize future wins. The difference is in how one goes about gathering evidence.
Wins and Outscoring: The Desired Result
The end goal is always wins. While "wins is the only stat that matters" is often used as a Straw Man attack on underlying metrics, it has some truth. Essentially all analysis relates to win optimization.
This desire for wins causes some to idolize those that have been successful before. This is why players are sometimes judged by their number of championships (rings: maybe the fanciest stat of them all). This is why some will use team records with and without the player.
People assume those with the desired results are driving those results.
Hockey is a team game though. The contemporary economics of NHL hockey results in even the best teams employing players that are worse than some on even the worst of teams.
Hockey is also a game of bounces. Past wins are not always indicative of future wins due to the massive influence that variance has on results.
Outscoring is a byproduct of the same philosophy. The team that outscores its opponents wins. The goal is to have as many players as possible capable of out scoring their competition.
This outlook drives analysis using goal-based methods like traditional plus-minus. (plus-minus has other inherent flaws as a statistic but that is for another day).
Like with wins, outscoring is the desired result, but using it effectively. requires large samples to overcome the huge impact of variance.
The Eye-Test: The Reasons Why Players Succeed
The eye-test takes analysis a step further than using desired results.
Traditional scouting looks at the attributes of winning teams and compares them to players. These attributes are what drive on-ice results. They are the reasons why some players and teams beget desired results more often than others.
When comparing two players, it is not typical for one to be better in almost all attributes. There is only one Sidney Crosby. Typically there are tradeoffs. One could be the better skater while the other is smarter. One may be better positionally in the defensive zone while the other breaks the puck out better.
A scout unconsciously takes qualitative information and quantifies it. They may not realize it, but they are unknowingly ranking attributes relative to each other. They are adding up the qualitative attributes, assuming value in each, combining these values, and then comparing.
Statistics: The Impact a Player has that Drive Wins
This leads us to the new wave in statistics, or the underlying metrics.
The method combines the philosophies of the two previous analysis methods. It looks at what predicts desired results while accounting for a player's or team's control over these results.
While Corsi percentage is not the only underlying metric used, it is the most common. This is for a reason. It predicts goal differentials for players and teams in the short run better than past goal differentials. It serves as a proxy for effectively used possession time, and is a byproduct of players with the opportunity to create scoring chances.
Corsi is a desired result that certain players can sustainably achieve more often than others. It is desired in a different way than Goals though. Goals are the ultimate target, while underlying results are desired to achieve the ultimate target. Corsi can be thought of as representing one of the major inputs a player controls in outscoring an opponent.
Analytics is simply using quantitative results to make more informed and likely better decisions.
The Right Way: Using All Methods
Graphic provided by Arden Hill
Both the eye-test and statistics have their flaws. The strengths of one often makes up for the shortcomings of the other.
Statistics are powerful. They can accurately describe how a player or team performed in certain areas.
They cannot breakdown why a player drives particular results if that area is not directly measurable.
A player may be under performing over a short period of time, but statistics may struggle in telling us why. Is a player performing poorly due to the natural variance inherent hockey? Is it due to the player doing something different? Is the player holding on to the puck too long? Is he not going to the 'dirty' or 'inside' areas of the ice?
Statistics may also struggle in finding the answer. Does the player lack the ability to win board battles and could use a linemate who could assist them in that area? Could the player benefit from attacking the blue line from a different angle? Is the player's confidence causing a rut to sustain itself longer?
The eye-test can tell you the strengths and weaknesses to a player but struggles in quantifying a player's impact in a way that can be accurately compared without bias. No matter what, all people have inherent biases brought on by how one subjectively values certain attributes.
Eyes can tell you that Dustin Byfuglien struggles in the defensive zone. They can tell you that Byfuglien moves the puck well and sustains pressure in the offensive zone. No one though can objectively determine the impact value of each attribute and compare by how much one is superior than the other from simply looking.
Attributes are useless if they do not impact results in one form or the other.
All indications are that coaches, general managers, and scouts are quite effective in terms of the eye-test. The disconnect usually comes in being able to measure the opportunity costs where there is a conflict between different attributes.
A coach likely knows their fourth line grinder is an inferior player for 5-on-5 and penalty kill situations. The issue is knowing which situation is the optimal deployment. The eye-test cannot compare impact opportunity costs, only attributes relative to each other.
Jonathan Willis once put it best:
In specific instances where eyeballs and analytics disagree, an intelligent man asks why the discrepancy exists and investigates further.
One should not take one method as being right all the time, as both are flawed.
When making decisions and investigating further though, it should be acted out with full understanding that each method has particular strengths and weaknesses.
Closing Thoughts
Contrary to arguments on twitter and in internet comment sections and on message boards, the separation between the eye-test and statistics is heavily overstated.
Skaters who perform better statistically tend to be used more than those who do not. Goaltenders with higher save percentages tend to play more games than those who do not. Draft eligible prospects with higher points per game tend to get drafted earlier than those who do not.
Hockey is not quite the same as baseball when it comes to the "statistical revolution." There does not exist a glut of first-line talents on NHL fourth lines being grotesquely undervalued.
Conflict does exist at times though, which is why the proper and most efficient way of approaching things is to combine the two.
Well said! I will be forwarding this to all those that I debate hockey with.
[Corsi] predicts goal differentials for players and teams in the short run better than past goal differentials.For me, in an article like this, this is the statement that needs to be fleshed out more fully. An explanation of the difference in predictive power of past Corsi as opposed to past goal scoring and the limitations is at the heart of "converting" the skeptical.
Corsi is a desired result..By your (well, Mr. Hill's) graphic Corsi is in fact an "underlying result" not a "desired result". The desired result would be the actual goals scored.
Your closing thoughts are excellent, what is lost on many who violently oppose any sort of quantitative analysis is that the results of most such analysis is tweaking and incremental improvement, there is no secret Stamkos riding the pine on the 4th line of the NJ Devils to be found. There are a fair number of 4th liners that should be 3rd liners and 1st liners that should be 3rd liners out there and gains to be made by recognizing that these insights are readily available.
Also, apropos of nothing, I would add that it is my opinion that SportVu is probably more likely to send a lot of teams off in the wrong directions going forward. It will encourage the sorts of micro-analysis that has been popular for a long time and is ultimately unproductive, examining the "clutchness" of players that really just narrows sample sizes to the point of destroying any predictive power a given measure might have.
I also think watching that happen to some of the teams in the NHL will be entertaining.
March 05 2015, 06:28AM
Really good stuff here and well written. As I gotl to the end of your post Vic Ferarri's words came to mind. "Corsi begets scoring chances, scoring chances beget goals".
March 05 2015, 06:28AM
Why isn't this cross-post on NHLNumbers.com?
Re predicting: I've done a lot of this type of work at Hockey-Graphs.com Definitely would suggest there
For the desire comment, it's desired but because you ultimately desire the final product.
It's process vs end results. You desire the end result ultimately, but because of this you desire a good process.
My points were about making this text stronger, I am well aware of your work elsewhere and enjoy it immensely.
My point is that the incongruity of labeling Corsi differentials an underlying result in one place and then referring to it as a desired result elsewhere, while different things are being referred to as desired results as well, undermines the coherence of your article. Simply changing the use of the word "desired" to label positive differentials as an "objective" instead for example would greatly improve the clarity and avoid the awkwardness of writing about "desiring in a different way".

Studies proposed in Project 3 will investigate the fundamental question that Ca2+ entry mediated by transient receptor potential cation channel 6 (TRPC6), a receptor-operated channel (ROC), is a critical determinant of increased endothelial permeability. We will test the hypothesis that TRPC6 is the critical influx pathway for Ca2+ that triggers the activation of endothelial contractile mechanisms RhoA and endothelial isoform of MLCK (EC-MLCK). If this hypothesis is correct, it would demonstrate a fundamental link between TRPC6 and the RhoA-EC-MLCK pathway. We also postulate based on our Supporting Data a potentially important relationship by which TRPC6-activated signaling upregulates the activity of TRPC1, a store-operated channel (SOC). Thus, our concept is that TRPC6 by activating both RhoA and EC-MLCK controls the state of endothelial contraction and additionally that TRPC6 activates signals that upregulate TRPC1 activity, thereby protracting and/or amplifying the endothelial permeability response.
Our Specific Aims are to determine: 1) the role of the endothelial ROC, TRPC6, interaction with the SOC, TRPC1, in mediating Ca2+ signaling-dependent increase in lung vascular permeability;2) the role of TRPC6-activated signaling in mediafing RhoA and ECMLCK activation and the requirement of these effectors in mediating increased lung vascular endothelial permeability and 3) the role of EC-MLCK downstream of TRPC6 in upregulating TRPC1 activity, and its consequences in increasing lung endothelial permeability. These studies will be carried out utilizing endothelial cells and lungs from mice carrying deletions of specific genes. We believe that the studies will provide a new understanding of the Ca2+-mediated increase in lung vascular permeability and edema formation. These new findings will help to unravel the details of how the interactions between TRPC6 and TRPC1 signals the Ca2+-dependent increase in lung endothelial permeability. The studies are expected to offer a novel therapeutic strategy for inhibiting TRPC6 and TRPC1 activities, thereby abrogating or reversing lung vascular leakiness.
A rise in intracellular calcium by activating cell contraction leads to formation of pores between endothelial cells through which blood proteins can gain access to interstitium and impair gas exchange in lungs thereby leading to acute lung injury (ALI). We believe proposed studies will provide novel insights into the role of a calcium cahnnel TRPC6 in inducing ALI and will identify TRPC6 as a therapeutic target to prevent ALI.

Dell challenges Psion's claim to Netbooks
Since the end of 2008, Psion has actively defended its copyright of the term netbook, with some success. Now Dell has issued court papers disputing the claim.
With its sales of Inspiron Mini 9, 10 and 12, Dell is effectively selling netbook devices without actually using the term "netbook" on its homepage. Nevertheless, Dell has started a Petition for Cancellation of Psion's trademark.
According to an article on PCPro, Psion declared before a court in 2006 that the company was continuing to market devices they called netbooks. Dell disputes this, and accuses Psion of making "false statements", thereby forfeiting Psion's claim to copyright of the term.
Dell obviously has a vested interest in the outcome of the petition. A new report by Laptopmag.com claims that Dell's netbook business is having considerable success. A third of purchases are Linux versions, and Dell is quite satisfied with the low return rates.

Robert Colescott dies at 83
Painter Robert Colescott has died at the age of 83. From his New York Times obituary, by Roberta Smith:
"Mr. Colescott represented the United States at the Venice Biennale in 1997, the first African-American to do so. By then he was well known for pitting the painterly against the political to create giddily joyful, destabilized compositions that satirized, and offended, without regard to race, creed, gender or political leaning.
People of all colors haunt Mr. Colescott's paintings, mostly as chimerical stereotypes that exchange attributes freely. Their mottled skin tones often suggest one race seeping through another. Their tumultuous interactions evoke a volatile mixture of suspicion, desire, pain and vitality. His slurred shapes, wobbly drawing and patchy brushwork imply that no truths can be held to be self-evident, that life is mired in slippery layers of false piety, self-interest and greed, but also lust, pleasure and irreverence."

Last Saturday Lauren and I checked out Gary Hustwit's latest film Objectified at the Gene Siskel Film Center. I have to be honest, I loved Hustwit's previous documentary Helvetica, so I was really excited to see a new design documentary. The film asks the viewer to not only confront the idea that all of the objects we encounter in our day to day lives are designed but also who designed these objects. The all star cast includes Chris Bangle, Davin Stowell, Dan Formosa , Dieter Rams, Nato Fukusawa, Jonathan Ive, Mac Newson, Rob Walker, and the entertaining Karim Rashid.
I enjoyed Dieter Rams', the former design director for Braun, list of what makes a good design. In essence , he believes a good design requires the least amount of designing. He names apple as one of the companies with the best design. As much as I enjoy apple products I wish the film felt less like an apple ad and investigated some more aspects of their designs. Like why are their computers designed in a way that makes them difficult to take apart and reassemble without destroying?
I felt like the movie was really easy to consume. Everything is very agreeable, even the geek chic soundtrack. I wished they went a little more into the topic of consumerism, though. In the end all of the designers are designing for a pay check, and this was touched upon, but I wanted to see a bit more of the marketing of goods that most people already own.
John Mahoney, summed up Hustwit's strengths in his post on Gizmodo, saying "But what's great (and where Helvetica also ruled) is that Hustwit is a master interviewer. He gets his subjects to speak about what can be a jargon and marketing-voodoo laden industry with total clarity and comfort that folks that didn't go to design school can comprehend freely. Ive, holding up the single aluminum block from which a unibody MacBook is hewn while trying to control his massive biceps, speaks about how designers are ultimately obsessive, borderline neurotic people. He can't look at an object anywhere without seeing the multiple layers of intent involved-who designed it, who it's designed for, what it does well. To Ive, it's an illness."
When Lauren and I walked out of the theater we both questioned what Hustwit would come up with next. According to the documentary blog, Hustwit has said that this film is in fact the second part of to a "design trilogy". I am excited to see what he has in store next, but doubt it could top Helvetica.
