Cap Room May Not Mean Spending Room
by Paul on 08/23/07 at 12:22 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Spector at Fox Sports,
Heading into 2007-08, however, a considerable number of teams have far more cap space and thus more flexibility should the need arise early in the season to bolster roster depth.
Twenty-five of the NHL's 30 teams presently sit well below this coming season's $50.3 million cap.
Of those, nine clubs — Atlanta, Buffalo, Carolina, Los Angeles, Minnesota, N.Y. Islanders, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Tampa Bay — have payrolls presently around the mid-point range ($42.3 million) between the cap's $50.3 million maximum and the $34.3 million minimum.
However, those teams have self-established cap ceilings and aren't expected to spend much more over what they've presently committed to this season's payrolls.
Two teams, Columbus and Florida, are currently well below the mid-point but also aren't expected to spend much beyond $40 million in payroll.

Attention Shoppers: Players Still Available

from Jim Kelley at Sportsnet,
What's left is a collection of unrestricted free agents whose best days are clearly behind them, but can still contribute to a team that might just need a little something extra to clear that last hurdle. There are also a handful of restricted and unrestricted free agents who, because of contract issues or various "reputation issues (injuries, character problems or the like), might be obtainable for teams willing to take a risk.
It's not necessarily a bargain bin, but what follows is a Sportsnet.ca non-inclusive list of discounted, disrupted, discouraged or just dissed players who might help your hockey team (or perhaps your hockey pool if you or your favourite general manger can get them to the table on time.

Great Deals

from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
Ah the lazy, hazy days of summer — sunshine, a hint of fall in the air, back-to-school sales … and NHL general managers, in a bargain-hunting mode, making one last pass at the free-agent market, with training camps less than a month away.
This week, two of the most respected players that had slipped through the cracks, found work — Trevor Linden and Michael Peca, who agreed to one-year deals respectively with the Vancouver Canucks and the Columbus Blue Jackets. Linden received $600,000 in base salary; Peca will get $1.2 million as soon as he passes his physical; and both contracts include incentives that could increase their eventual take-home day, depending upon how their seasons unfold.

Decisions Ahead For Bettman
by Paul on 08/22/07 at 01:43 PM ET

from Scott Burnside of ESPN,
In the coming days and weeks, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman is going to be asked to make difficult decisions on two prickly issues, decisions whose ramifications may reverberate around the league for years.
Both decisions involve how to deal with men who have run afoul of the law. Both will require Bettman to balance the desire for good public relations with what is right and just, and possibly even compassionate.
First, there is the issue of what to do with disgraced assistant coach Rick Tocchet, who pleaded guilty to a variety of gambling offenses and was ordered to serve two years of probation last week.
continued and Scott's second issue is Mark Bell…

from Black Athlete,
I don't know about you, but if you've ever seen or been privy to a hit-and-run situation, you know that the act itself is tantamount to attempted murder when alcohol is added to the equation.
I'm amazed that an advocacy group like MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) isn't after Bell's ass with the same passion as PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) in Vick's case.
For Bettman to make light of these incidents is to imply hockey has no problem—and the treatment in both issues further gives the impression ain't nothin' goin' on but the ice.
Bettman's laissez-faire attitude says "No problem—because 'our guys' aren't troublemakers like those in those "other leagues"—and there are no moral issues in conflict with our athletes."
Meanwhile, 50 years since the first black player, Wilie O'Ree, laced up his skates for the Boston Bruins, the NHL still wants to pretend that Black folks in America aren't worth cozying up to sell their game to.

via the Blueshirts Blog,
Michael Peca will not be a Ranger this season.
Agent Don Meehan confirmed moments ago that the Rangers did not make Peca a contract offer.
Meehan said that he expected to complete negotiation on a one-year deal for the 33-year-old center within a couple of hours. Columbus appears to be the city where the former Islanders captain will be playing his home games this season.
added 9:06pm, On the front page of the Columbus Dispatch but no link yet- Peca expected to sign
added 9:08pm, Link now working,
Michael Peca is likely to sign a contract with the Blue Jackets either late tonight or early Wednesday.
It's a one-year contract with incentives, according to a source.
As of 8:45 p.m., Peca's agent, Don Meehan, was negotiating with Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson over the final details.
added 10:57pm,, The same link from the Dispatch now stating Peca has agreed to terms with Columbus.

from Blue Notes,
The Mike Peca saga will end tomorrow.
Don Meehan, the agent for the free-agent center, who the Rangers had in for a physical and talks with brass last week, said his client will choose Tuesday about which team he'll play for this season.
"He'll make a decision (Tuesday)," Meehan said during a brief phone call last night of Peca, 33, who played just 35 games last seaon after breaking his right leg in late December while skating for the Maple Leafs."It's down to a few teams."
added 6:18am, from the NY Daily News,
Asked whether Sather wants to sign Peca, agent Don Meehan replied: "I've been trying to figure that out. I've tried to reach him (yesterday and Sunday) and can't. And I'm working with time constraints now. I've got to find out where he stands.
"We're probably going to force the issue by (today). If I can't reach him (today), we'll just go our separate way."

from Darren Eliot at Sports Illustrated,
I'm not sure why, but I'm always drawn to the offensive storylines each season presents—contrary thinking for a former goalie, I know—and to looking at the state of the Original Six franchises. Maybe if you replace "former" with "old" goalie, you'll get to the root here, but anyway, here are some of the things I hope happen during the 2007-08 season:
Original Six Prominence: With the Rangers making the bold offseason signings of Chris Drury and Scott Gomez, they should be in the mix atop the Eastern Conference all season long.

The NHL Salary Structure

Comments (0)
from James Mirtle,
In order to get a closer look at how the NHL's salary structure is evolving, I took the 20-man rosters of all 30 teams from two time periods — early in the 2003-04 season and at the end of the regular season of 2006-07, this past campaign — and ran that 600-player sample through a spreadsheet.
So, what's the difference between salaries prelockout and postlockout?

really great people
I contacted the piqua u haul in advance to reserve truck, a 27ft , two days before I was to pick it up, I was called and told it would not be available. In looking for another truck, none that could be found except a 17ft in springfield. Although further away and smaller, since family had arranged jobs and sitters this had to be done this date. We made it work but I have to borrow a pickup to go back to old home to pick up the rest of stuff that wouldn't fit in smaller truck. Your people were very telling me the larger truck could not be found but it left me very stressed out. Thank you for asking, Nancy McIntosh
Fast,efficient, thorough
Customer Service was great and quick. Trucks were available and clean. Everything was explained well. This is one of the best U-Haul places I have ever used. I did have a problem with some water leakage in the grandma's attic area of the truck...granted there was a ton of rain during the time I had the truck...the other similar truck I rented at the same time did not have the water leakage.
Customer Service was great and quick. Trucks were available and clean. Everything was explained well. This is one of the best U-Haul places I have ever used.
Lower your wkend rates
Our guy was quick and efficient. Had us on our way in no time and the drop off was just as easy. Great service.
Everything at this location was wonderful. Equipment exceeded my needs, amd staff was wonderful. Tamara a big thank you for being so helpful, and making sure things went smooth on my rental/return. I will rent here again.
The doors on the trailer appeared to have broken rivets which made the doors difficult to operate properly.
The side mirrors were broken and would move while driving. It made it difficult to see behind me.
I placed my order online for a reservation expecting a pick up and drop off to be where I had placed my order. After contacting customer service when I received my first confirmation we found common ground and the staff assisted me by finding a truck at the location that I needed. I was told by the customer service that pickup was at 9am. Unfortunately I verified the new truck size and pick up location but I didn't check the time on the verification thinking that everything was the same as verified over the phone. It wasn't. I went to the pick up location at 9am and although there appeared to be a truck in the lot that was the same size as my reservation I was told by the store manager that my truck wasn't here yet and that my pick up time was at noon and someone was having to travel to Cincinnati to pick up my reserved truck. I left and returned at quarter to noon. The same truck was in the lot when I went in. The manager said that they still were not back yet. I went in to the store again at noon to get more information. I was told by the manager that the drivers were stuck in traffic due to a bad accident. Finally after waiting for close to thirty minutes past noon, two trucks pulled in at the same time. I immediately went in to the store hoping that one of these vehicles was mine. The manager quickly processed my information. When he went to process my receipt he said he had to get paper he ducked behind a corner and poped right back out telling me that the entire store was out of paper and that he would email me my receipt. He then proceeded to get my truck. When he pulled to the front of the store I was furious. It was the same truck that had sat in the parking lot all morning since before we had got there at 9am. He jumped out of the truck and ran inside before I could say anything. By this point assuming on my behalf was stupid, but I did it one more time. I assumed that the truck was safe to drive and all parts of the vehicle were secured. I was wrong. The first pot hole I hit the hood flipped forward. Both of the latches were undone on the hood and unknown to me the latch for the rear door was also unsecured so that first pot hole you guessed it, it threw open the door and seeing that it had been poring rain all day filled the entire box of the truck with water. We had water all over the floor by the time we got to my home to move and it made an ungodly mess to try and work around and through. Go figure I didn't even get a receipt until after I had returned the vehicle and in this state your receipt for a rental vehicle is the same as a temporary registration.
Although there were several attempts along the way with trying to find resolution and I am very forgiving, the lies I was told by the store manager, the lack of proper documents, and the safety hazards that resulted from this company's poor service and failure to do their job sunk their reputation with me for forever. I will never do business with this company nor will I ever re
Some confusing our reserervation with someone else's, but Manager very nice and helpful
Customer service was great and helpful.
The young lady that helped me was completely professional. I believe this young lady will be running U-Haul one day in the future. She is everything right with this world!
Great job everyone!!!!!!!!!!
The Staff was very friendly and helpful. The general manager showed me how to attach and de-attach the tow dolly. Thank you!
Courteous and fast. Very nice.
It seemed like the service was a little slow but once you got served, things went pretty well. The young lady who waited on me had some computer problems which meant we had to start the transaction over again which was a little bit annoying. Equipment ran well, I think the price was competitive and will come back.
I rented a truck and car carrier to transport some my deceased mother's property and car back to San Antonio. We were also planning to use the truck to move items to by brothers house. First when I went to the location to pick-up the truck they said I was late picking up the truck and I showed them that I had called and spoke to someone to inform them I would be late 11:00 am. The also said it was a higher rate on Friday, since I did not pick-up the truck on Thursday. Then they said the tire had been vandalized and the truck would not be available until the next day at 10:00 am. After speaking to the scheduling manager the truck was available to pick-up that evening at 6:00pm and the manager was very nice and gave me a military discount for the truck. The problem I had was I only had one day to move furniture out of my deceased mother's home and load keepsake items in the truck with car carrier and travel back to my home in San Antonio, TX.
On Sunday while traveling the truck showed 1/4 tank of gas but the truck ran out of gas 100 meters before going over the Mississippi River Bridge. After reporting this to Uhaul Road Side Assistance and spending over an 1-hour on the phone they would not send anyone with gas. I told them I would send them a picture of the broken gas guage showing 1/4 tank. They offered to send someone with gas for $250.00. I explained that it was not my fault and the gas guage was broken. The customer service agent was horrible...Incompetent!! I told her if it wasn't broken when they brought the gas then the truck is broken down!! I asked if there was Military discount and explained that I had a Military ID, she said no and I said thank you for a great Memorial Day present. After 1.5 hours I eventially had to take my car that was being towed off the car carrier and go get gas 25 miles away. This was very dangerous because there wasn't enough birm to be off the 1st lane; we had put the emergency signs, but still scary!!After arriving back to the truck and putting the gas in the truck, the truck started and we drove to the nearest gas station. We had to put the car back on the carrier with no experince in doing this.
Later that day we drove through sevral rain storms and the cab started leaking water. We had to take a blanket and towel to soak up the water. This happened again the next day while driving through several rain storms on our way back to San Antonio. I have rented several Uhaul trucks over the years without any incident. This was a nightmare and especially the customer service agent!! I hope
The location has grown a lot over the years and they continue to have only 1 person working in the facility when I arrive to pick up -- the fellow had 4 people in line when I picked up my trailer.. he could not even spend the time to check my lights becuse he had to get back into the office to wait on others. Everytime I rent from this location, they are under staffed and slammed.
Originally rented a 17" from the huber heights location. Arrived there around 10:30 am, and was told they didn't have the truck. They directed us to the Springfield location, saying they had the correct size. Arrived there only to discover we had been lied to, and that they in fact did not have the correct size either. Had to rent the next size up with ran poorly and the door kept jamming and would not close. I will never use u haul again. How can you be open for an hour and a half and not bother to inform us that you do not have the truck in stock? A lot of wasted time and gas.
one person at counter a little slow on check out she was by her self
There were 3 or 4 employes at the store. One Female employee was doing everything - taking info - booking - hooking up while the rest did nothing - I made a comment, she was nice but did not say anything negative. Seems like she should be getting some help instead of everyone standing around. 4 people were in line and took 25 minutes to get waited on. Thanks, Terry McKinney
No one was at the front desk for ten minutes. I stood in line for 20 minutes before I was helped. The staff was friendly, but either processes need to change or need to hire more staff.
I was given a 26' truck that had engine problems, the amount of gas that was reflected in the tank was not the actual amount. I ended running out of gas on my return travel and had to put $75.03 in vehicle. I was delayed a day in work, which cost me additional dollars and I was only reimbursed $20.

Dude! I so kicked some major butt out there! said the green changeling whom was referred to as Beast Boy.
Was that before or after I saved you? questioned, the half human, half machine boy named, Cyborg, with a smirk on his face. Ro

Chapter 3
More hours of impatient waiting passed and still no sign of movement from the mystery girl. Well, she wasn't really a mystery for Raven.
Finally! After what seemed like forever, the strange girl stirred in the bed. She suddenly sprung forward, surprising the entire team, making some of them jump from their seats. The girl rubbed her eyes and started turning her head, looking in all different directions, checking out her new surroundings.
Yo! What's up?!? she said in a very cheerful tone. Where am I? The team (expect Raven ) was totally thrown off by her reaction. She acted like being in a totally different area, let alone planet, was no be deal; They thought she was well.......

Sometimes, there were moments where Dove would try to tell them but would be strangely stopped by a unknown force; She would pout and storm off leaving her questioner confused.
After three more weeks, Robin, Starfire, Cyborg and Beast Boy all decided to secretly search for answers to the oh so many questions each one had. So far, they had no such luck but they were determined.
One day Beast Boy and Starfire were walking down the hallway to the OPs room but stopped when they heard voices coming from Raven's room.
Raven you just gotta! We need you!
That was Dove the duo guessed. Beast Boy and Starfire leaned closer to the door to listen. They were both thinking and hoping that this would help them in there inv

The basic integration architecture, as defined by ESBs, hasn't changed for more than a decade. Most cloud integration providers still rely on an ESB architecture and their proprietary connectors. As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

So I realized that Sublime already has a command for adding comments. So if I have code inserted like this:
comment = " ----------------------------------------" + '\n'
comment += " " + title + '\n'
comment += " @author " + author + '\n'
comment += " @url " + url + '\n'
comment += " ---------------------------------------" + '\n'
comment = self.view.run_command('toggle_comment')
code = items['code']
layout = comment + code
self.view.replace(edit, sel[0], layout)
How do I get the command to work so that it comments out the comment variable? Thanks.
Initial Question
I am creating a plugin for Sublime Text 2 and want to make sure that when it inserts/replaces code it inserts comments as well, but to do this I need for it to insert the correct comment types for the various languages. I know that I can run the following command:
And that will return something like this:
Is there a way to have it return just PHP, Python, C++, etc.
I'm sure I could do a substring command in Python, but since I can see an easy way of seeing all file settings I wanted to make sure there wasn't a quick easy way of doing this. Thanks for the help.

|Factors affecting bandsaw tracking behavior and stability
|Wong, Darrell C.
|Master of Applied Science - MASc
|Mechanical Engineering
|Copyright Date:
|This theoretical and experimental study examines the tracking behavior and stability of bandsaw blades. Tracking describes the in-plane "front-to-back" motion of a bandsaw as it runs on the bandmill wheels. Bandsaw tracking stability returns the sawblade to its initial position after any in-plane side-to-side displacement caused by a cutting force. The tracking behavior and stability of the sawblade are determined by the geometry of the saw and bandmill wheels. Fourteen factors affect this geometry. They are the cutting force, wheel profile, tilt, cross line and coefficient of friction, and the saw backcrown, overhang, strain, tensioning, thickness, width, guides, rotational speed and temperature distribution. In practice, many of these factors are present at the same time. A theoretical model is presented here that accurately and reliably predicts the behavior and stability of the band. This model incorporates and quantifies the tracking stability of cutting force, wheel profile and tilt, and band overhang, strain, thickness and width. Both the experimental and theoretical results show that wheel crown and overhang are the only true stability factors and that the other factors such as width and thickness only modify the stability of crown and overhang. It was also found that the detail of the wheel profile has a substantial effect on tracking stability and when wheel crown is combined with overhang, the tracking stability of overhang is improved. The model can now be applied to investigate different wheel crown profiles. It provides an important tool for the task of improving bandsaw cutting performance while at the same time reducing the required saw and bandmill maintenance.
