Ford GT Mk II revealed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed: America!
More power and downforce than its Le Mans racing sibling, the Mk II comes with impressive specs and price tag
Robin Warner
The Ford GT Mk II celebrates Independence Day in England in the best possible way at the Goodwood Festival of Speed
It's fitting that Ford chose today, the 4thof July 2019, to share with the world a new, extremely limited-edition GT Mk II; a beefed-up, ridiculously capable track-day toy for the plutocrats among us. But it's also ironic that, as we celebrate our 243rdyear of Independence from England, Ford unveiled the car today in the heart of Union Jack land. It's okay, though, as it's specifically at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, one of the coolest car nerd events on the planet, a modest one-mile hill climb that serves as an excuse to join thousands of enthusiasts to get a close look at some of the coolest and most iconic road and race cars ever built.
And here is where it all comes together to make sense. In a sea of old Ferraris, Le Mans prototypes and Formula 1 cars, the Mk II fits right in. What you're looking at is, essentially, a Ford GT racecar not constrained by race car rules. No maximum wing sizes or air intake outlets, no one to scrutineer whether the car meets any balance of performance. The Mk II's rulebook is physics, the only one that counts for people like me.
But let's get a few things out of the way before we dig into the cool. Only 45 Mk IIs will be built and each one will start at $1,200,000, which is a little and a lot. Ford promised buyers of the standard GT that no more than 1350 Ford GTs will be built, which means these 45 take away from the grand total. Who cares anyway, as more than half of them are already spoken for. And that's before Ford, or anyone, officially announced the Mk IIs existence.
What buyers will get for their money is a hand-built by Multimatic, non-road-legal track car that delivers 700 hp, weighs 2850 pounds without fuel, and produces 1800-1900 pounds of downforce at 150 mph. That's more power and more downforce than the Le Mans GTE race car by about 200 hp and 400 lbs, respectively.
A look at the new Ford GT Mk II in the studio
Power comes from the same 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6 engine as the standard GT. To increase peak output, Ford added large charge-air coolers with water spray capability and a higher flow exhaust system (without a muffler). This allowed faster air flow both into and out of the engine, which helps the turbos to spin faster. The same port fuel injectors used on the standard GT pump in more fuel enough to make 700 horsepower at 6,350 rpm. Peak engine speed remains the same at 6,500 rm. Ford didn't release final torque figures, but it's probably similar to the 550 lb-ft the base GT makes. Also similar, the seven-speed dual clutch transmission and limited-slip differential sending power to rear-axle.
Multimatic increased downforce simply by ditching the limitations set by the various rulebooks. In front, the new front splitter now extends way past the front of the car's body work, adding five to seven percent more downforce. And that works with bigger dive plains and louvres integrated into the front fenders. In back, the same rear wing as the race car now stands much higher than the 1.6-inches above the roofline that Le Mans permitted and produces an extra 350 pounds of downforce as a result. The Mk II also rides just 2.2-inches off the ground, which helps it produce four times the downforce at the road going GT. But, critically, the balance front to rear is almost identical.
Mechanical grip gets a huge boost over the road GT from Michelin Pilot racing slicks mounted on 19-inch wheels. These tires are a standard spec and do not produce anywhere close to the adhesion of the "confidential" tires produced for Le Mans, but are still way ahead of any kind of road legal tire. Ford claims a sustained two g's of road-holding capability. Holding those tires up are custom billet aluminum uprights, race car stiff springs and five-way-adjustable dynamic suspension spool valve dampers.
See the Ford GT Mk II in action at the test track, using its 700 hp, racing slicks and 1900 lbs of down force
Brakes are carbon ceramic, 15.5-inch discs in front and 14.1-inches in the rear. While the Mk II comes without traction or stability control, a full anti-lock brake system by Bosch is on this car. Flat spotting your tires is no concern here. Considering the car weighs 250 lbs less than the road car, fade is of little worry as well.
Inside there is a full race spec roll cage and custom-built Sparco driver and passenger racing seats. Multimatic did not install any airbags, but there's a six-point harness to firmly hold you in the FIA certified seats. And as proof that this is an all-in serious track car, they also install a full fire suppression. There is an interior, but a sparse one. For example, the trunk is now filled with various coolers to keep the powertrain cool.
To feel like a proper driver in the Mk II, the steering wheel looks and feels just like a racing wheel, including the spring-loaded paddle shifters. Though you must accept the fact that true race cars have more buttons to play with. You, for example, do not have to adjust boost levels to manage fuel flow rates, ever. On the plus side, a nifty Motec data system sits front and center and provides all the requisite information for a full-fledged debrief after a track session.
Ford could've gone in a lot of directions with a specialty "evo" version of the GT. A unique color scheme, or a bump in power, or whatever. I'm quite happy they geeked out on GT and took the Porsche-esque 'see what our race car is like' uncorked route. The fact that the options list includes air-jacks says it all. The best part? Ford claims that the feel of the Mk II is just as benign as the standard GT, but with much higher limits. All you have to do is warm up the tires and the brakes, just like a race car driver. How cool is that?

Q: Oracle/ PLSQL condition like 'string' || '%' Why this
SELECT * FROM STUDENT
WHERE FULLNAME LIKE 'Nguyen' || '%'

as the same
SELECT * FROM STUDENT
WHERE FULLNAME LIKE 'Nguyen%'

How does the first one work?

A: || is concatenation operator. Oracle will first perform concatenation and then will use LIKE to match the pattern. Hence operationally it will be same as the second one.
However you should use the second one as it will be  more efficient in performance and easy to read.
First one has extra overhead to append two strings before using LIKE to match the pattern.

A: the first one catenate 'Nguyen' and '%' through the pipes '||' in first place.
Because you don't have any space like 'Nguyen ' or ' %', it's the same as 'Nguyen%'.

A: There is no difference between these two:
Here the double pipe(||) is just a concatenation of expression.
Before db evaluate against like parameter, it concatenates
Hence both of those are same.

A: Both are same, as || operator concats 'Nguyen' and '%', it will be more helpful if you want to concat parameterize variable like below
SELECT * FROM STUDENT
WHERE FULLNAME LIKE :name || '%'

401(k) withdrawal penalties waived under coronavirus stimulus package
BYBen Steverman, Suzanne Woolley and Bloomberg
March 27, 2020, 4:45 PM UTC
For the latest: Everything you need to know about the new 401(k) no-penalty withdrawals
Lawmakers in Washington are making it easier for Americans struggling with the fallout from the coronavirus to draw on the trillions of dollars in their 401(k)s and other retirement accounts.
For a limited time, Americans will be able to withdraw money from tax-deferred accounts without penalties under a stimulus package signed into law Friday by President Trump. Rules on 401(k) loans will be relaxed, and some retirees can avoid so-called required minimum distribution, or RMD, rules that might have been onerous.
Some of the changes mirror what's been done for retirement savers after previous disasters. In general, though, the adjustments are "much more significant than what was done for the California wildfires or the hurricane in Houston," said Gregg Levinson, senior director, retirement, at Willis Towers Watson.
That's needed because "with Covid-19, we are in uncharted territory," said Will Hansen, chief government affairs officer for the American Retirement Association. "With 3.3 million people filing for unemployment last week, I think we'll see a lot more usage of these provisions."
Loose rules
One provision lets investors of any age take as much as $100,000 from retirement accounts this year without paying an early withdrawal penalty. They also can avoid taxes on the withdrawal if the money is put back in the account within three years. If it can't be returned, taxes can be paid over three years.
The legislation requires that the money be a "coronavirus-related distribution," but the rules are loose. People diagnosed with the virus are eligible, along with anyone who "experiences adverse financial consequences" as a result of the pandemic, including an inability to find work or child care. Retirement plan sponsors are told to rely on employees' word that they're eligible.
It also makes it easier to borrow money from 401(k) accounts, raising the limit to $100,000 from $50,000. The payment dates for any loans due the rest of 2020 will be extended for a year.
When retirees reach their early 70s, they're required to start taking money out of tax-deferred accounts like 401(k)s and IRAs, and pay taxes on those distributions. The legislation waives those rules in 2020.
Without the change, retirees' required minimum distributions would have been based on their account balances at the end of 2019, when the amounts were generally much higher than they are now. A similar one-year waiver was offered after the 2008 financial crisis.
U.S. individual retirement accounts, 401(k)s and other defined contribution plans held almost $20 trillion in assets at the end of 2019, according to the Investment Company Institute. Those totals almost certainly have dropped since then as global stock markets tumbled.
While tapping one's 401(k) may be a necessity, Levinson said people should view it as a last resort. "Don't mortgage your future if you have other options," he said.
He thinks the $100,000 loan amount allowed is too high, and that people may jump at that number and later regret taking out that much.
Americans ages 25 to 55 pull about $69 billion per year from retirement accounts, according to a U.S. Government Accountability Office report issued last year.
The $2 trillion package was approved by the Senate late Wednesday and passed by House on Friday. President Donald Trump quickly signed the bill into law.

A new initiative from NHS England aims to combat skin cancer caused by sun exposure among men who work outdoors.
'Cover Up, Mate' urges men who spend long periods of time outdoors to protect themselves against the sun. Farmers, builders, sportsmen and gardeners are the main focus of the campaign because of their potential prolonged exposure to solar radiation.
The Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) is a core partner in the Cover Up, Mate campaign. In turn, NHS England is supporting IOSH's No Time to Lose campaign, which aims to raise awareness of occupational cancer and help businesses take action by providing free practical resources.
In 2015, as part the No Time to Lose campaign, IOSH commissioned Imperial College London to carry out research into solar radiation exposure at work in Britain.
The research found that malignant melanoma – the most serious form of skin cancer – kills nearly 50 people each year.
The research also found that 42% of malignant melanoma cancer cases involve construction workers. Other sectors where melanoma cancer cases are prevalent include agriculture, public administration and defence, and land transport.
"By working together with like-minded organisations, we can beat occupational cancer caused by sun exposure," she added.

Penguins star Crosby to make season debut against Devils
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Sidney Crosby is back.
The Pittsburgh Penguins star will make his season debut Saturday night when the Penguins host New Jersey.
Crosby, 34, underwent left wrist surgery on Sept. 8 and estimated he would miss "at least" six weeks. Saturday night's game is a little over seven weeks since the procedure.
The Penguins will also get back center Jeff Carter, who has been out for over a week after testing positive for COVID-19. Carter said he was asymptomatic during his quarantine, and he returned to practice on Friday.
"I think it goes without saying, they offer us so much on both sides of the puck," Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan said of Crosby and Carter. "We're just a much better hockey team when they're in our lineup. So we're excited to have them back in the lineup."
Crosby will return to his familiar spot as Pittsburgh's first-line center. Carter, who had filled in on the top line during Crosby's absence, will anchor the second line with Evgeni Malkin out until at least Thanksgiving while recovering from knee surgery in June.
"It has a ripple effect on our whole team," Sullivan said. "Both these guys are real good players. It's nice to get some of these guys starting to come back into our lineup."
The Penguins are off to a 3-2-2 start without Crosby, though the significance of his absence has been highlighted this week. Pittsburgh has dropped two straight at home to Tampa Bay and Calgary, mustering just one goal in the process.

'Whistle- Blower' (Life, Death, Hope and the Eight Amendment)
(By Padraig McCarthy)
The author, Pádraig McCarthy, is retired and living in Dublin.
He wants this book to speak for itself, and to contribute to more comprehensive and rational debate on how we legislate and care for every member of the human family.

PÁDRAIG McCARTHY
A whistle-blower blows the whistle on matters of deep concern, not to cause trouble but to draw urgent attention to a matter which so far has not been properly addressed.
Ireland in 2018 prepares for a referendum on whether or not to repeal the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution. It concerns the right to life of the unborn, the equal right to life of the mother, and the guarantee in the Amendment that the State would defend and vindicate those rights. It concerns what might replace the Amendment if repealed, and proposed legislation to follow.
Most debate has been on whether abortion will be made legal in Ireland, but the issue is wider. The aim of this book is to analyse aspects of the debate so far, and to "blow the whistle" on the areas where that debate so far has been inadequate or seriously defective. It suggests alternative ways of addressing the challenges.
It looks at the difficult dilemma facing a woman when her pregnancy brings crisis for whatever reason. There are factors from within the pregnancy and external to the pregnancy which are the reasons for it being a crisis. How can we work to replace desperation with hope? The support of friends, family and community help each of us through many difficulties in our lives, when all seems hopeless.
It blows the whistle on the political argument of the Taoiseach and others, and on words and phrases which can be seriously misleading. It blows the whistle on how the Citizens' Assembly and the Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment let reference to the right to life vanish into thin air.
It blows the whistle on how the widespread debate may desensitise us to the vital reality of the issues: life and death, mother and child, desperation and hope. In short chapters, many sides of the issue are analysed.
The Final Whistle is blown on the world in which Ireland participates, how so much of the world has abandoned the hard-learned lessons of the twentieth century, and what we need to do about it.

Research is similarly an example of an activity that may involve intra-group services. The terms of the activity can be set out in a detailed contract with the party commissioning the service, commonly known as contract research. The activity can involve highly skilled personnel and vary considerably both in its nature and in its importance to the success of the group. The actual arrangements can take a variety of forms from the undertaking of detailed programmes laid down by the principal party, extending to agreements where the research company has discretion to work within broadly defined categories. In the latter instance, the additional functions of identifying commercially valuable areas and assessing the risk of unsuccessful research can be a critical factor in the performance of the group as a whole. It is therefore crucial to undertake a detailed functional analysis and to obtain a clear understanding of the precise nature of the research, and of how the activities are being carried out by the company, prior to consideration of the appropriate transfer pricing methodology. The consideration of options realistically available to the party commissioning the research may also prove useful in selecting the most appropriate transfer pricing method. See Section B .2 of Chapter VI.

The team, made up entirely of professional cyclists with Type 1 diabetes, have been at the Tour of California for three consecutive years now. But this year has been particularly successful for the team, driven in a large part by World Tour veteran Javier Megias. Javier took 14th overall in the general classification at the Tour of California, going head to head with some of the best cyclist in the world. In addition to the GC success in California, Martijn Verschoor was able to cross sabres in stage 1 for a 5th place sprint finish.
The Gibraltar climb and the time trial were the most defining moments for me. The climb was insanely challenging while the time trial was just brutal.
But success has not been limited to California. As of June 1, 2016, Team Novo Nordisk had earned six top 5 finishes and eight top 10 finishes, including the teams first overall victory in the team classification at the Tour of Estonia.
Then came the Tour de Korea, where Javier Megias again showed his form earning the teams first ever second place podium finish in the general classification.
The Tour de Korea has been a good race to this team over the years. I am very pleased with the entire squad. It was inspiring to see how aggressive our riders raced all week in breakaways and sprint finishes. Javi finished 14th overall last month at the Tour of California against some of the best cyclists in the world. Now he earned his career best at the Tour de Korea. We're excited to see what happens throughout the remainder of this season, especially at next month's Tour de Pologne.
The Tour de Pologne (Tour of Poland) will mark another significant first for the team in 2016: the team's first world tour stage race. This is critical, as Team Novo Nordisk CEO and Co-founder Phil Southerland has set a goal for the team to be in the Tour de France in 2021.
Phil Southerland is a self-described "…boy that was shaving his legs at 14." From there he taught himself the ropes racing with a group from a local bike show. He continued riding and racing through college, but eventually found himself pitching the idea of an all diabetic pro cycling team to vendors at Interbike. That idea has continued to grow towards the Tour de France goal since inception. 2016 has all the potential to be the turning point in an effort that has produced not only Team Novo Nordisk, but also the charitable Team Type 1 foundation.
2021 will mark the 100th anniversary of the discovery of insulin – a pivotal moment in history for suffers of Type 1 diabetes that depend on daily insulin injections to manage their condition. Phil Southerland cites this, along with "enough runway" to meet the necessary obligations for a Tour de France wildcard spot, as a perfect target to get Team Novo Nordisk into the most famous bicycle race in the world.
The Tour de France comes down to ranking. We know we need to be in the top 25 professional teams by 2021 to increase our chances at a wild card invitation.
Since 2014, Team Novo Nordisk has seen an annual 20% ranking improvement, but in order to achieve a top 25 ranking we will need more riders, because more riders lead to more points. We also need to get more results so we can earn more points. Finally, we need to compete in bigger races because World Tour races equal more points… a higher ranking gives us the ability to get noticed and be eligible for a wild card spot.
With that plan in mind, the results and scheduled races of this year seem to be paving a smooth path towards Paris in 2021. It is unfortunate how often those living with diabetes hear about what they can't do. Phil Southerland, along with the management and team members of Team Novo Nordisk, are instead showing us what they can do.

Campus Fellows Program
Represent the Diversity Abroad Community on Your Campus
UPDATE: application deadline extended to Friday, May 13th at 5p EST! More details below.
Are you a study, intern or volunteer abroad alumni that has a passion for the abroad experience? Do you want to motivate other students to take advantage of the same opportunity you had? Then the Diversity Abroad Campus Fellows Program may be for you! The Diversity Abroad Campus Fellows Programs gives study abroad alumni (intern and volunteer abroad too!) the opportunity to motivate their peers on campus to pursue global opportunities. By hosting information sessions, speaking about their personal experiences and sharing Diversity Abroad resources, Campus Fellows will do their part to help Diversity Abroad increase the number of diverse students going abroad.
Why a Campus Fellows Program
International study and intern programs aren't just a fun and exciting adventure. The experience has real life, tangible benefits that are personal, academic and professional. But for years, students of ethnic and racial minority backgrounds, first-generation college students, and students from lower socio-economic backgrounds have made up only a small percentage of students taking advantage of global opportunities. We're here to change that and you can help through the Diversity Abroad Campus Fellow program. Students don't always understand how feasible, affordable and transformative studying abroad can be. Although many students can be discouraged by the study abroad process, it can be much easier to understand how to make it possible through the support and guidance of their peers, like you, who were in a similar position not long ago.
The goals of the Diversity Abroad Campus Fellows Program are to empower you to utilize your international experiences in a professional, creative, and engaging way; get new students excited about international opportunities and Diversity Abroad through peer-to-peer connections; and manage the Diversity Abroad brand on your campus and in your community.
Represent Diversity Abroad on your campus and campuses in your community
Connect students with Diversity Abroad resources and collect student information for further follow-up
Identify and create partnership opportunities on campus through the development of a brand management plan with support from Diversity Abroad staff
Host a minimum of 5 on-campus activities throughout the year including any campaigns directed by Diversity Abroad
Attend bi-weekly online team meetings to share strategies, discuss challenges and opportunities, and to participate in trainings
Write three articles per semester that touch on topics related to education abroad and your identity, location and career/field of study.
What we're looking for:
You are a leader
You are outgoing, personable, responsible, and actively involved in clubs, activities, and events on campus
You are currently enrolled full-time at your college or university
You have an expected graduation date of May 2017 or later
You are willing to commit to a 9-month program (August-April) and devote 15-20 hours per month to this position
You can relate to diverse groups of various backgrounds
You are experienced in social media

You are passionate about making an impact on your campus with international opportunities
You own a digital camera and/or video camera and have access to a laptop computer
You have an entrepreneurial spirit
You have reliable transportation within your city (including public transportation)
You have had some sort of international experience (study, intern, vacation, volunteer, etc.) that you can speak about from personal experience
All students are welcome to apply, however students applying from the following locations are preferred (Southern CA, Philadelphia, Atlanta, New York City, Washington DC, Twin Cities, MN).
This position will depend heavily on telecommunications. Therefore, consistent access to the Internet, personal laptop computer, and a mobile telephone is required.
What will you gain?
Leadership experience, marketing, and event management skills
Mentorship opportunities with professionals
Professional experience and an opportunity to build your résumé by working with Diversity Abroad, a social enterprise focused on diversity & inclusion in international education
Publish your articles, blog, images, and video via social media, newseltters and DiversityAbroad.com

Bergamasca Sheep Breed Information
The Bergamasca sheep is a multi-purpose breed of domestic sheep which was originated from Italy. It is actually from the mountainous part of the province of Bergamo, in Lombardy in northern Italy. It was originated from the Val Seriana valleys and the Val Brembana area. And the breed is particularly associated with the plateau of Clusone.
The breed had spread through much of Lombardy by the beginning of the twentieth century. And today, the breed is raised and found in most parts of the mainland Italy. The Bergamasca sheep are particularly found in the province of Teramo in Abruzzo, where more than 80 percent of the registered stock are raised.
The Bergamasca sheep breed is also known by some other names such as Bergamasker, Gigante di Bergamo and Bergamacia in Brazil. It is the basic breed of the Lop-eared Alpine group, and the breed is the foundation of the other Lop-eared Alpine breeds and of Perugian Lowland, Fabrianese, Pavullese and Zakynthos. Along with the availability in it's native area, the breed is also available in Brazil, Venezuela and Serbia.
The Bergamasca sheep is one of the 17 autochthonous Italian sheep breeds for which a genealogical herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia. The Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia is the Italian national association of sheep-breeders.
Total population of the Bergamasca sheep breed was estimated at 95,000 in 1983, of which around 7900 were registered in the herdbook. And the registered stock numbered 12,042 in 2013, of which 9833 were in the province of Teramo. Read more information about this Italian sheep breed below.
Bergamasca Sheep Characteristics
The Bergamasca sheep are large sized animals. They are mainly white in color with white face. They have large and loped ears. Their skin color is generally pinkish. Both rams and ewes are generally polled.
Average body height of the mature Bergamasca rams is around 87 cm at the withers, and around 79 cm for the ewes. Average live body weight of the mature ewes is around 80 kg. And the mature rams on average weight around 111 kg. Photo and info from Wikipedia.
The Bergamasca sheep are multi-purpose animals. Today they are raised mainly for meat production. But are also good for producing milk and wool.
The Bergamasca sheep are strong and hardy animals. They are well adapted to their native climates, and also do well in some other countries. Today along with the availability in their native areas, these animals are also present in Serbia, Venezuela and Brazil. Currently the breed is mainly raised for meat production in Italy. But these animals are also good for producing wool and milk. And they often used for cross-breeding with other meat sheep breeds for improving meat yield.
The Bergamasca sheep breed is raised traditionally by transhumant management in Lombardy. The herds spend the summers on the alpine pasture, and over-winter in the Po valley. However, review full breed profile of the Bergamasca sheep in the following chart.

Meltzer on the Umberger trade
By caluso,
June 23, 2014 in Philadelphia Flyers
I agree wholeheartedly with what Meltzer writes:
Nevertheless, this trade perplexes me a bit, unless it is the first of multiple moves.
Umberger's cap hit ($4.6 million) is not that much lower than Hartnell's ($4.75 million) and his contract runs through 2016-17, so this trade cannot be characterized as one that has significant cap-related advantages. Hartnell and Umberger are both 32 years old.
If the draft pick had been a higher one, I would have understood the benefit immediately. If Philly had gotten an extra second-round pick or some such, the deal could be explained as general manager Ron Hextall starting to collect assets. Umberger is strictly a third-line player, albeit a good one. The pick the Flyers got is a negligible additional asset in exchange for someone who has been a first-line left winger on the club and has been part of several successful line combinations over the years.
Umberger is a definite upgrade over Steve Downie as a fit on the third line with Sean Couturier and Matt Read. He wins a lot of battles and usually plays a disciplined game, whereas Downie has rarely done the latter in his NHL and was not doing much of the former this past season.
Now the big question: Who will be the Flyers new first line left winger? As of now, the job may go to Brayden Schenn, along with Hartnell's role on the top power play unit. If that's the case, it means the Flyers will be in the market for another top-six forward.
We shall see in the days and weeks to come what Hextall has planned.
We shall see....
murraycraven
I posted the same thing in another thread and I could not agree more. Perplexing indeed...
JackStraw
Meltzer is bang-on, imo.
This is the key thing for me:
"Umberger is strictly a third-line player, albeit a good one. The pick the Flyers got is a negligible additional asset in exchange for someone who has been a first-line left winger on the club and has been part of several successful line combinations over the years."
Just doesn't really click.
Does the presence of Umberger on the 3rd line provide some defensive coverage/ability for Laughton to be slated into the third line and move Coots up to the second?
jammer2
A lot will depend on how Laughton performs at camp. I think he would really have to knock their socks off to avoid a trip to the AHL for seasoning. Moving Coots up to the 2nd line would do *wonders* for his continued growth. He is ready for that type of move up in the lines. He has worked hard and deserves more ice time. It would also prompt some more offense out of him, something that I believe would have happened anyways, but that would jump start the process....which would in turn be great for the team.
Yeah, my focus was on Coots' growth. If Laughton goes to the A, which I agree is more likely, do you have Umberger center that line and fill in on the wing (and still move Coots up)?
ZeZel25
I like the deal. Improves team speed,Defense,DISCIPLINE and gets some financial flexibility. Lose some scoring but it's a good trade off IMO
He has worked hard and deserves more ice time.
He was 2nd behind Giroux in average TOI among forwards last season. If he's moved off the shut-down line he may end up getting less ice time, albeit with more offensive opportunities.
I will wait to see what the plan is....until then good luck Scotty and thanks for the time spent in Philly i know you tried.
Enjoy Columbus but who knows maybe they flip you to LA where you can join your old Center City buddies.
I would imagine a lot of that will be determined by how RJ fairs in the face off circle. His face off winning percentage at Columbus was below average, so unless that improves, they may slot him in as a wing. Hard to say where he will play, but the great thing is he has the flexibility to fit in literally anywhere, a huge plus for the Flyers as they construct they fall lines to initially start out the year.
@OccamsRazor I will miss Harts, certainly one of the most colourful figures in Flyers history. At a time where so many players look like a cookie cutter mold in a helmet, he stood out like a sore thumb. He was a hard worker and bought into what the team was trying to accomplish. In short, a good soldier...I'll remember his time in Philly fondly.
Irishjim
caluso this trade wasn't about getting a playmaker for the top line..it was about getting 2 years off a crappy contract..nothing more.. even though RJ has a modified NTC on his contract the flyers have to pick that up (which they will not)...he could be flipped to a cap floor needy team (HEY BUFFALO) at any time... I like this trade
That's what will be cool about Umberger.
We had a team made up of people who didn't really fit together. Hartnell, for example, really honestly fit nowhere. VLC is the same way. Umberger, like you said, fits in so many places that it should begin the process of making lines that are actually functional as lines.
But with that said i won't miss his pre game talk to reporters on the ice right before the drop of the puck about playing disciplined and playing smart hockey, staying out of the box and stuff and then he comes out and takes a stupid penalty HAHAHA!!!!!!!
Yeah good luck Scotty i wish him the best except when he is playing the Flyers, just like Richie and Crater their is no hate in my heart for him.
Orangecat
I will miss Hartnell...seems like a great man to sit down and have a beer with, and a real charitable guy. He was also my wife's favorite Flyer. She's not much of a hockey fan, so Hartsey's departure will probably only distance her for the sport more. Hopefully she can latch on to another personality. He is a likable player for the most part, and I wish him well. I really enjoyed the fact that he was always the first guy in to defend a teammate or backup his goalie when another team is taking liberties.
On to out current roster- I'm fine with RJ I liked him when he was here, but he doesn't replace what Hartnell provides. Need to bring in a top 6 winger. The bummer is that this doesn't dump much of his salary, so it doesn't open things up much in free agency. I'm confident that they have more up their sleeve. Should be an interesting off season.
King Knut
Not so perplexing. We're all already complaining about Hartnell's cap hit, imagine how frustrating it would have been when he's endured three more years of beat downs and abuse and age?
More than anything I'm guessing Berube told Hexy (#27 to #27 I guess) that Hartsy wasn't going to fit into his system long term... or probably short term either.
Failing that I have no idea really... unless Hartsy slept with someone's wife...
That last part was a joke.
We're all already complaining about Hartnell's cap hit, imagine how frustrating it would have been when he's endured three more years of beat downs and abuse and age?
although, we have 3 more years of the same thing with Umbie...
Thank you Mr.Hextall, for giving us some fresh Flyer's hockey to discuss on the humid late June day. This trade is semi-worth it for that fact alone....lol.
3 is better than 5...?
oh yes... no argument there Knut!!
Agreed! Here Here Scotty! We shall miss you!
And if you do end up in LA, like most other trades to Columbus seem to, you'll probably get that ring finally anyway.
So here's to Columbus! Way-point to the Kings and the Cup!

If Philly had gotten an extra second-round pick or some such...
...Hextall would be immediately be annointed the Anti-Holmgren, actually accumulating 2nd round picks!
Lindbergh31
Hartnell was a good foot soldier over his time in Philly and hope he does well in Columbus. As for Umbie, it's a wait and see as to where he fits in this team, the good thing is he only has 3 years left on his contract. With the signing of Schenn for another 2 years will make it interesting to see what Hexie does next. Should be interesting for the draft this friday in Philly.
Vanflyer
some financial flexibility.
What financial flexibility? The only thing i see is that they will have 4.6m to spend to replace Umberger 3 seasons from now.
The team speed, role flexibility make sense to me. But I do not see any financial flexibility.
Right now? No. Absolutely none right now. But in years four and five it does give them an extra $4.75M against the cap. It also gives them an extra $7.5M in real dollars (to give to Bryzgalov).
That's the financial flexibility

In 2013, Rihanna won a $5 million lawsuit against Topshop after the British retailer starting selling a T-shirt printed with her image without permission, and now Puma—with which the pop star has a footwear partnership—is suing Forever 21 for knocking off key Fenty x Rihanna designs, including the line's signature $80 Leadcat Fenty Fur Slide, the recently released Bow Slide, $90, and the $99 suede Creepers, according to TMZ.
The site got its hands on the lawsuit, which states that by Forever 21 selling so-called copies, demand decreases and stops the footwear from being seen by consumers as a luxury. Adding insult to injury: Forever 21's versions of the shoes in question only cost between $18 and $25. The suit, filed in Federal court, also demands the chain cease selling the styles and turn over all profits made.

Puma also took action against Topshop earlier this month in a German court, getting a preliminary injunction to stop the British store from selling the near-identical slides and creepers. "We will continue to take action to enforce our global intellectual property rights both against other brands who seek to trade off our designs and reputation and those who trade in counterfeit products," the brand said in a statement to style blog Snobette.
Rihanna's been the creative director for the Fenty x Puma range for over two years and managed to boost the athletic brand's sales by moe than 17 percent in 2015, bringing the company's fourth-quarter earnings that same year to near $1 billion, according to Bloomberg. Her shoe drops are usually frenzy causing, to say the least: Last April, the line's fur slides sold out in under 30 minutes and crashed Puma's website.

Forever 21 has a long history of legal troubles: Over the years, more than 50 copyright violation lawsuits have been placed against the retailer, according to reports. Diane von Fürstenberg, Gwen Stefani, Anna Sui, and Trovata are among the designers who have taken action. Ironically, the fast-fashion chain was the plaintiff in a fashion suit in January, when it accused other brands of copying a best-selling pair of slouchy Ikat pants, according to The Fashion Law.
It's unclear whether Puma plans to go after the dozens of other brands churning out fur slides that look exactly like RiRi's, including Urban Outfitters, Steve Madden, and Nine West.
